 This Agreement is between Unlock Your Voice and the Student (and where the Student is under the age of 18 years, the Parent/Guardian on behalf of the Student), is legally binding, and is governed by the laws of the state in which the Student attends classes. This agreement is binding until we receive notice of cancellation as per the paragraphs below. 

Payment of Fees 

All fees are payable via direct debit from a credit card, debit card, or bank account over a specified period through a service provider nominated by Unlock Your Voice. Credit card payments incur a 1.9% surcharge. All declined payments incur an $8.80 fee charged directly by the payment gateway. Cash or cheque payments are not accepted. Unlock Your Voice and/or the service provider nominated by Unlock Your Voice may charge a merchant service fee, administration and/or transaction charges, and any other late payment charges if the details you provide to us or the service provider are incorrect causing a stop, incorrect drawing from or no payment from your account. Any failed payments will be re-processed 24 hours later daily until payment is successful or at any date determined at Unlock Your Voice’s discretion. Unlock Your Voice reserves the right to terminate your membership and/or provide your information to a debt collection agency due to payments falling in arrears (subject to applicable legislation). PLEASE NOTE: All membership fees must be kept up to date and paid upfront to allow students to continue attending classes. There’s a $2.20 admin fee applied by the Payment Gateway ‘PayChoice’ any time a new card/payment method is registered or set up.

Canceling your Membership 

You may cancel your membership at any time by providing written notice. Your cancellation will be effective on the last day of your current membership. Therefore, your deductions will continue until the full term’s fees are paid. 

  • No refunds mid-membership are permitted under any circumstances unless a doctor’s certificate is provided for injury/illness
  • No memberships can be put on hold 

Missed or Cancelled Classes Unlock Your Voice does not offer make-up classes for any missed or canceled group or private sessions or any courses.

Health of a Student 

We accept Students on the assumption that they are in good health and fitness. It is your responsibility to notify Unlock Your Voice of any medical complaint or history suffered by the Student that may prevent that Student from engaging in any physical or active singing exercises or routine. As per Covid recommendations (2020-2021), anyone with Covid-related symptoms must notify the studio and organise to do their lessons via Zoom/Online.

A Student is only permitted to bring water to classes. No food can be brought into Unlock Your Voice classes at any venue. 

Teachers

All our teachers are trained with specific skills and are allocated to students based on student goals, age, and needs. If a teacher is sick or away, another teacher with an equivalent skill set and qualifications will fill in as a substitute and have access to your notes and history so they can continue with your singing goals.

 

Resources

Our studio is equipped with microphones, sound systems, and pianos to ensure that you get the most out of your lessons. At the end of your first lesson, you will receive an email with links to our online resource, which will equip you to continue your learning at home as well as in class and is a part of our learning curriculum.  This is charged at an added rate to your enrolment at $27 per month or $199 upfront. Use of microphones, equipment, and studios will be dependent on Covid regulations at the time of your booking.

Photograph and Video 

In the interest of protecting the privacy of our Students, we cannot allow any classes to be recorded or any Students to be photographed without our prior written consent. Any breach of this by you will entitle us to immediately terminate this Agreement. 

Unlock Your Voice Advertising and Promotional Material 

If you are selected for promotional material, then this clause constitutes a Talent Waiver where you agree that we may take any photographs or make an audio or video or digital recording of you or the Student at a Unlock Your Voice event and use that material in any promotions in print, photography, reproduction of scripts, radio, television, internet streaming, internet sites of Unlock Your Voice or any third parties we consider appropriate. All copyright in this material will reside with us and you waive your rights to receive any royalties or fees should we use your image in any promotional materials we (or another party on our behalf) produce. 

Changes to the Agreement 

Unlock Your Voice may change the terms of this Agreement and/or the Fees by giving you 30 (thirty) days’ written notice. If we change this Agreement, you can terminate this Agreement if you can demonstrate that such change is detrimental to you and that the change was not one that was expressly permitted by law. 

Please keep your records up to date. 

Please ensure that you keep us promptly informed of any change to your contact or payment details. We will not be responsible for any event relevant to your enrolment due to a failure by you to notify us of any relevant changes. Unlock Your Voice communicates information via email and as part of this service you must have a valid email account. 

If any provisions of this Agreement are deemed void, invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, that clause may be severed without affecting the enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement which Agreement shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, continue to be valid and enforceable.
