When enrolling for tuition with Alien Guitar Secrets, parents, guardians, and students agree to abide by the following terms of business:
1. Introductory or assessment guitar lessons are charged at the casual rate. One-off casual private lessons may be booked up to 7 days in advance and must be paid for at the time of booking via PayID, Credit card or cash.
2. To secure a recurring booking for a regular weekly lesson, a signed Credit/Debit Card or Bank Account Payment Authority is required to pay for your sessions in advance on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
3. These Credit and Debit card payments are processed securely via our ser-vice provider, Ezidebit. Debit transaction fee - $0.55. Bank Account Debits - $0.67. Credit Cards - $1.33. A 4.4% surcharge applies to American Ex-press cards.
4. *Dishonour fee for returned payments to Ezidebit is $6.60 and will be de-ducted on next due payment, in addition to transaction and debit fees should payment be returned as unable to be processed.
5. An initial fee for the exact amount of one lesson is deducted in addition to the first payment to ensure that payments are in advance of lessons.
6. Once set up on a Credit or Debit Card Payment Authority, you are auto-matically re-enrolled into the same time slot every week until you notify us to change or cease this schedule. This must be done in writing.
7. We do not suspend your sessions (or payments) during School Holidays unless you ask us to. We are, however, closed on Public Holidays and cer-tain other dates that we will notify you about. All sessions scheduled for a closed date will be credited to your account and rescheduled at a mutually agreed time.
8. All bookings once paid for may only be rescheduled, not cancelled, or re-funded. You may reschedule a session by giving us more than 24 hours notice. Rescheduled lessons are arranged at a time convenient to both the instructor and the student and must be taken within 6 months of the origi-nal booking.
9. If your regular instructor is away, a substitute instructor will be provided for that lesson. If a suitable substitute cannot be found, we will notify you as soon as possible and the cost of the lesson will be credited to your ac-count.
10. We require 2 weeks (10 working days) notice in writing to suspend, cancel, or change your regular session and automated payments. If you suspend your sessions for more than 2 consecutive weeks, we may allocate your recurring time slot to another student.
11. Reschedules & cancellations must be notified in writing by email. Simply telling your instructor is not sufficient.
12. If more than 2 consecutive payments are declined, we may suspend or cancel your ongoing bookings.
