Participation Agreement & Financial Policy


Dec 26, 2024 07:15 AM



As a participant in any program or class of Tippi Toes Dance Company I recognize and acknowledge the nature of the activities my child will be participating in and that my child is in the proper physical condition and capable of participating in the related activities, understanding that Tippi Toes is not in any way responsible for making such a determination. Tippi Toes is an extracurricular activity and our staff is not associated with any schools, daycare, pre-school or other class partner locations. For off site classes located at a school, daycare or preschool location, I recognize that my child will be picked up and dropped off from their class to attend Tippi Toes by our trained teachers.

I agree to waive and relinquish all claims that I or my minor child may have as a result of participating in any program or class against Tippi Toes Dance Company and its officers, agents, servants, employees and independent contractors. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend Tippi Toes Dance Company and its officers, agents, servants, employees and independent contractors from my claims resulting from injuries including death, damages and losses sustained by me or my minor child that arise out of, in connection with, or in any way associated with the activities of this program.

I hereby permit the use of my, or my daughter/son's image to be photographed, videotaped or otherwise recorded for use in Tippi Toes Dance Company publicity or educational materials. These materials include, but are not limited to, photographs of classes and performances, newsletters, various other publications, Tippi Toes Dance Company internet webpage and social media outlets and videos of classes or performances. I HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS.

Financial Responsibility:
I agree that I am solely responsible for payment of all charges on my account in a timely manner. All refunds will be subject to the refund policy below. Once enrolled in auto-pay, any and all charges on your account will run on the 1st of each month until payments owed are received.

Attendance & Withdrawal Policy:
I agree to the sole responsibility for unenrolling my daughter/son from Tippi Toes classes before the 1st of the month to avoid any tuition/costume charges. Verbal notification or lack of attendance does not provide sufficient notice of intent to drop. If a student has not attended or withdrawn from classes for 3 consecutive months, Tippi Toes Amarillo reserves the right to automatically drop the student from the class for non attendance. Refunds for non attendance will be subject to the Tippi Toes refund policies below.

Code of Student Conduct:
Should a child's behavior become a consistent problem, Tippi Toes Amarillo reserves the right to drop the student from the class. We understand that developing behaviors is a learned skill, and we will work with parents/guardians to manage feelings, maintain realistic expectations, positive redirection, attachment issues, and other behavioral problems. Students are expected to demonstrate the correct character, treat others and property with respect and honesty, and act in a way that does not interfere with the class rules. Disruptive incidents (including but not limited to), disturbing others, disruptive or rude behavior, refusing to obey staff members, failing to follow class rules, running away, throwing objects, hitting, biting, excessive crying or screaming, etc. will not be tolerated. We will work with parents to help dancers learn Tippi Toes class rules and expectations! We love all children and will help them be the best version of themselves! Refunds for code of conduct will be subject to the Tippi Toes Refund Policies below.

Cancellations:
If you need to cancel your class registration at any time, please contact our office before the 1st of the upcoming month so that you are not charged tuition for that upcoming month. Cancellations must be made before the 1st of the month in order to avoid tuition charges. Verbal notification or lack of attendance does not provide sufficient notice of intent to drop. Please see refund policy below.

Contracts:
While we hope your dancer stays in Tippi Toes class all season, you are not under any contract when you register for Tippi Toes classes.
You can unenroll your dancer anytime when you log in to your account, click account, students, select the class under your child's name, then click drop this class.

Late Fees:
A late fee will be assessed if this invoice is not paid in full by the due date. Any past due amounts are subject to a late fee penalty. Tuition is due on the 1st of the month. A late fee of $10 will be placed on the account if any amounts owed are not paid by the 10th of the month. And additional late fee of $15 will be placed for balances not paid after 30 days.

Tippi Toes Refund Policy:
All payments & fees for tuition, registration fees, costumes, tickets, and online orders are non-refundable. Tuition is not refunded for failure to drop.

Waiver Updates:
I agree to any and all future changes to the online waiver that Tippi Toes deems necessary.
