LESSON POLICIES

I. MEMBERSHIP

A. Membership in Cardon Studios renews every four weeks and entitles each student to a specific number of lesson credits (2 or 4) to be redeemed at their discretion over a period of six weeks. Member students understand that by participating in Online Learning, they consent to have their sessions recorded for the safety and record-keeping, and quality control of Cardon Studios teachers and staff.

Cardon Studios reserves the right to alter the membership arrangement in an effort to remedy any concerns. If a suitable adjustment is not possible, a complete refund will be provided. Since your lesson time is reserved and unusable in our calendar to accommodate other students, Refunds are not given in the event an enrolled student cancels prior to the first lesson or may be subject to penalty fees.
