STUDIO POLICIES
|
PAYMENT POLICIES: Montana Dance Works tuition is based on an entire season of dance. Our season runs from September 13, 2021 - May 26, 2022. All dancers are required to pay for the entire season. Tuition is not based on the number of classes in a month or on attendance.
You may pay the entire season in full or divide it up into 9 equal monthly installments. The first installment is due at registration along with your registration fee, and this installment is non-refundable unless there is a government-mandated shutdown in place. In this case, this fee will convert into a tuition credit that will remain valid until September 1, 2022. The other installments are due the 1st of each month, September 2021 - May 2022, and will be automatically billed to the card on file on the 1st of each month. All monthly tuition payments, recital costume payments, and recital fees will be auto-drafted to the card on file. Tuition is due on the first of every month and will be auto-drafted on the first of each month. You will be emailed a receipt after your tuition is auto-drafted. Recital costume payments and recital fees will be auto-drafted on November 1, 2021. If you opt to pay the entire season in full prior to September 1, 2021, you will receive a 5% discount. Please note: If you pay your dancer’s tuition for the full year and then withdraw from classes for any reason (loss of interest, school obligations, injury, illness, etc.), a 30% penalty will be applied to your refund for the remainder of the year. We suggest you only pay the year in full if you are 100% confident your dancer will participate fully in the entire season. If for any reason we provide a tuition discount during one or more months of the season, this discount will not apply to prepayments. No further discounts are available. RECEIPT OF PAYMENT: You will not receive a billing statement or invoice prior to any charges, however, you will receive a receipt of payment each month after the auto-draft. LATE FEE: If your card on file is declined, an alternate payment must be made within 48 hours. A $15 Late Fee will be charged for any payments not made in full by the 5th of the month. This includes declined charges for cards on file for any reason. Students with a past due account exceeding 60 days will be dropped from the class(es) and will not be allowed to participate until their account is paid and up to date. RETURNED CHECK FEE: $25. PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION: I hereby authorize Montana Dance Works, LLC to charge my credit or debit card for all services and products related to my family's enrollment in classes and activities at Montana Dance Works including but not limited to tuition, supplemental materials, special events, costumes, recital fees, accessories, etc. Fees are subject to change. If I elect to pay annual tuition via monthly installments, I understand that my credit or debit card will continue to be charged on the monthly, session or periodic basis unless I notify the studio in writing 30 days before intent to discontinue via email to info@montanadanceworks.com and receive an acknowledged returned response from Montana Dance Works staff. I understand that it will not be sufficient notice to merely tell an instructor or other employee of our intent to discontinue. I have read this entire agreement and understand that I will be held fully responsible for its terms and conditions of service, including a 30-day written notice by email to Montana Dance Works of any intent to discontinue. I understand that once the monthly installments for my annual tuition, my recital fee or my recital costume fee have occurred there will be no refund given if I decide to discontinue. I agree to notify Montana Dance Works immediately of any change in the status of my charge account including but not limited to card expiration, name change, limitation of use, loss or theft of the card, etc. In the event that the amount charged is refused for whatever reason, I accept responsibility for full payment for the amount charged as well as an NSF fee of $15.00.
