3.1 Cancellation by the Student: In the event that the Student needs to cancel a scheduled music lesson, a minimum notice period of 24 hours prior to the lesson time is appreciated. Failure to provide adequate notice may result in the forfeiture of the lesson fee. Unforeseen circumstances and illness will be taken into consideration.
3.2 Prolonged Absences: In the event of excessive and prolonged absences due to illness, The Noise Factory and the Student (or their parent/guardian) may enter into discussions to determine a fair and reasonable solution, or a temporary suspension of lessons until the Student is well enough to continue.
3.3 Lesson Rescheduling: Students have the option to request a rescheduled lesson, given that they adhere to the minimum notice period as outlined in clause 3.1. The availability of rescheduled lessons is contingent upon The Noise Factory’s schedule. The final decision regarding this policy rests with The Noise Factory.
3.4 Failure to Attend or Late Notice: Failure to show up for a lesson or providing late notice will result in the full lesson fee being charged.
3.5 Group (Band) Sessions: There will be no refunds or credits for missed group sessions. The program will continue with or without the Student’s attendance.
4.1 Emergency Cancellation: In case of unforeseen emergencies, The Noise Factory may need to cancel a lesson. In such cases, The Noise Factory will make every effort to reschedule the lesson at a mutually convenient time or provide a credit or refund for the canceled lesson.
4.2 Discretionary Cancellation: The Noise Factory reserves the right to cancel lessons if the Student’s behaviour is disruptive, disrespectful, or unsafe. In such cases, the Student may not be entitled to a refund for the canceled lesson.

7.1 Termination by the Student: If the Student wishes to terminate lessons, they are required to provide written notice. As lesson spots are reserved for the term, refunds or credits will be forfeited or otherwise agreed upon.
7.2 Termination by The Noise Factory: The Noise Factory reserves the right to terminate lessons with the Student for reasons including but not limited to non-payment, chronic cancellations, or disruptive behaviour. In such cases, a discussion may be had between both parties.
8.1 Automatic Renewal Policy: Lessons will automatically roll over to the next term unless a written cancellation notice is provided by the Student at the end of the term, before the start of the new term. Students will be invoiced accordingly for the new term.
