TERMS, CONDITIONS AND HOUSE RULES

     When you (the student) take guitar lessons, coaching, workshops or classes from
    Karst van Oosten (the teacher) you agree to the following terms, conditions and
    house rules :

     Cancellation:

       Preferably lessons are not cancelled. If you must, please cancel in advance as  
       early as possible. Of course it can happen that a lesson can't take place because
       of certain circumstances such as illness, vacation and and so on. In such an
       event, please notify the teacher as early as possible. First we see if the lesson
       can be rescheduled to a different day or time. If that's not possible then the
       following rules apply regarding the cancellation of lessons.

       Canceling a lesson without being charged is always possible when you cancel a
       week or more in advance and beside that you can max two times per bundle of
       10 lessons cancel a lesson without being charged up to 24 hours in advance.
       When possible please notify the teacher as early as possible, because then
       the chances are highest that the teacher can still schedule other students or
       activities at your time slot. When a lesson is cancellled on time, the lesson
       will not be charged.

       To avoid misunderstanding it's good to take note that Karst van Oosten's music
       lesson practice has no fixed holidays or (summer) breaks, which means that
       lessons will always take place on agreed days and times unless they are explicitly
       cancelled or rescheduled by either the teacher or the student. So if you go on
       holiday or aren't able to take lessons or classes be sure to always notify the
       teacher timely, preferably as early as possible, to avoid being charged for
       lessons or classes that aren't attended.

    House rules regarding regular weekly and biweekly lessons specifically:

       Regular lessons are a subscription and therefore automatic renewal applies.
       Lessons are purchased per bundle of 10, to be paid through a payment request
       sent through text or email, prior to the first lesson of the bundle, unless explicitly
       agreed on otherwise. If you desire an invoice, you can request one.
       When the last lesson of the current bundle is attended the teacher sends a
       payment request for the next bundle. When the student wants to stop
       taking lessons they have to notify the teacher at least two weeks before the
       last lesson of the bundle, otherwise the student is expected to purchase a new
       bundle. Once lessons or a bundle are purchased it's not possible to get a refund.
       It's allowed however to sell or gift remaining lessons to someone else.  

       When a student agrees taking weekly or biweekly lessons
       It is expected that they will show up every week or two weeks.
       Of course every now and then it's possible to cancel or reschedule a lesson
       when possible. When lessons are cancelled too often, the teacher can decide
       that the student has to switch to a different bundle, such as one of the irregular
       lessons bundles that provide more freedom to show up irregularly. That's not
       super strict and a bit of a grey area, but a rule of thumb is when you regulary
       cancel more than once a month

       When taking regular lessons you are expected to attend a lesson at least once
       a month, when you cancel more than a month of lessons in a row
       then for those months the student is charged one lesson per month.

    House rules regarded the irregular lesson bundles

       You can schedule per lesson by contacting the teacher through text or email or at
       the end of a lesson. This is not a subscription. There's no automatic renewal.
       The validity period a bundle of 10 lessons is 12 months, for smaller bundles that's
       6 months.
