Terms and Conditions
1. Fees
Students will commence payment for the monthly tuition prior to gaining access to the online classroom space, live classes, and coordinating course workbook. The tuition is $20 USD per class, which comes to $40 USD per student per month, and is paid monthly. Payment for classes with Sarah de Jager is made through this website only.
2. Missed Lessons
If the student cannot make a class, they will be able to catch up by watching the recorded video replay of the class and complete the coordinating assignments in their course workbook. Because the class and materials will be available to you, even if you miss the live class, there will not be a refund. Students must submit their assignment at least 24 hours before our next live class, in order to receive live feedback and review. Students will be able to watch the recording of their live class a few days after the class date, when it is posted.
3. Termination of Agreement
Lessons are paid for on a month-to-month basis. A decision to discontinue lessons may be taken by the student/parent/guardian or the instructor. In the event of an enrollment termination where the monthly tuition has already been paid, there will not be a refund.
4. Media, Photos, and Authorization
