TDC COMMUNICABLE DISEASE RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT

In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in any The Dance Company of Ocala, LLC (“TDC”) related events and activities I, the undersigned participant, parent, or legal guardian, acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that:
By participating in TDC related events and activities, there are certain risks to me arising from or related to possible exposure to communicable diseases including, but not limited to, the virus “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)”, which is responsible for the Coronavirus Disease (also known as COVID-19) and/or any mutation or variation thereof (collectively referred to as “Communicable Diseases”). I am fully aware of the hazards associated with such Communicable Diseases and knowingly and voluntarily assume full responsibility for any and all risk of personal injury or other loss that I may sustain in connection with such Communicable Diseases.
I, for myself or for my minor child(ren) or ward(s), and on behalf of my/our heirs, assigns, beneficiaries, executors, administrators, personal representatives, and next of kin, HEREBY EXPRESSLY RELEASE, HOLD HARMLESS, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE THE DANCE COMPANY OF OCALA, LLC and its officers, officials, agents, representatives, employees, other participants, sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises upon which TDC related events and activities take place (the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, demands, suits, causes of action, losses, and liability of any kind whatsoever, whether in law or equity, arising out of or related to any ILLNESS, INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, OR OTHER DAMAGES incurred due to or in connection with any Communicable Diseases, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
I agree that this Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State of Florida, and if any portion hereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the remainder shall continue in full legal force and effect.
I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.

TUITION

Payments may be made online with credit and/or debit or at the studio with credit, cash, and check. Tuition and registration fees are Non-Refundable and Non-Transferable.
Tuition is due the first day of each month. AutoPay is available for your convenience through the Parent Portal.
-Tuition may be paid by cash, check or through our Parent Portal with debit card, credit card or AutoPay (preferred)
-Our Parent Portal allows you to review statements, review payment history and make payments.
-Tuition is based on a monthly course fee and not by the individual class or weeks. Throughout the full dance season there are some months that have 2 classes as well as some that have 3, 4 or 5 classes in a month. All vacations and holidays have been taken into consideration when determining tuition fees for the entire dance season. ?
-During events TDC has no control over (hurricanes, etc.) an effort to provide a make-up class will be made where possible. Classes with make-up opportunities will be emailed this information at a later date. No refunds are given on classes missed due to inclement weather or emergency closings of the school.
-A $15.00 late fee will be charged for any tuition paid after the 7th of each month. A $5.00 fee will incur for each week tuition is late after that.
-A $35.00 fee will be charged for any returned checks.
-Tuition rates will be prorated when students register for classes for a term that is already underway.
-Tuition is not pro-rated for missed classes or holidays.
-Full class tuition is due each month regardless of class attendance.
-If tuition is not received the child will be dropped from the class and re-registration will be required upon returning, pending class availability.
-A student withdrawing from the school must have a parent/guardian come into the office to give a 30- day notice by filling out an official withdrawal form. Otherwise, a student must pay full tuition through the end of the school year.

I have reviewed and understand the additional fees associated with having a dancer at TDC. I understand the costuming price ranges, the family recital fee for each recital ($30.00) and the general admission ticket information which includes parents.

STUDENT SECURITY

To ensure the safety of TDC students, we require all faculty, students, and parents to follow these security procedures. Since visibility to the parking lot is limited and the lobby is often busy, there is no way to verify that dancers reach the appropriate persons. Therefore, dancers under the age of fifteen may not leave the premises unless escorted by parent/guardian-approved persons.
