ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, WAIVER, INDEMNIFICATION, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I, personally and as the parent and guardian of any student I enrolled at The Lesson Center, do hereby acknowledge my responsibilities as a parent of a student, or as a student myself, at The Lesson Center and its agents, board, officers and contractors, ("The Lesson Center").

I further acknowledge that the COVID19 Guidelines and recommendations may change, are difficult to adhere to and enforce, and the successful implementation of guidelines as designed will require the efforts of all parties involved. I acknowledge it is not the responsibility of The Lesson Center to enforce such guidelines as the effort to return to lessons is a cooperative endeavor requiring everyone's efforts to ensure the safety of the students, parents, and instructors. I acknowledge that The Lesson Center does not have an affirmative duty to ensure the safety, and cannot ensure the safety of any student, parent, and instructor.

For the purposes of this Acknowledgement, Waiver, Indemnification and Assumption of Risk, COVID19 shall mean the disease known as COVID19 or any related or mutated progeny of COVID19 or coronavirus generally.

1) Explanation and Acknowledgment of Risks. I hereby confirm that I have voluntarily chosen to permit my child to participate in this activity and/or participate in this activity myself. I also agree and understand that my participation and/or my child's participation in any of the activities provided through The Lesson Center, and the use of any equipment and the facility is purely voluntary, and that if I am not willing to acknowledge the risks and agree not to sue, my child and/or I will not participate.

2) Acknowledgment of New Rules and Procedures and Additional Risks Related to COVID19. COVID19 also known as Coronavirus is a strain of respiratory disease that has recently spread throughout the world for which there is currently no vaccine available. It can result in serious illness, organ damage, disability and even death. The virus is highly contagious and manifests itself in different ways depending on the individual. It is also generally accepted that many people can be asymptomatic carriers of the virus, making it difficult prevent the spread by otherwise seemingly healthy individuals. The Lesson Center believes it is permitted to resume certain operations under the current orders of the state governor. It has developed comprehensive policies and procedures informed by guidance issued by the CDC and by the state to help reduce the likelihood of spreading this disease. By signing below you acknowledge and agree that in consideration for your child's and/or your opportunity to participate in this program, you will instruct your child and agree to follow and observe all rules and procedures established, and any modifications that may be adopted and communicated to you and your child from time to time. You further acknowledge and agree that despite precautions, including social distancing, limited capacity, enhanced cleaning of the facilities and equipment and other procedures that are or may be implemented, the disease is highly contagious and spreads easily through person to person contact. You understand there is no way to eliminate the risk of contagion in connection with your and/or your child's participation. You further acknowledge that participation in the program with other participants and the use of facility and its equipment could increase the risk of contracting COVID-19. In other words, at the present time, the risk of contracting the virus is an inherent risk of participation in the program and by signing below you, on behalf of yourself, your child, and your respective heirs, representatives, and any assigns nevertheless desire to participate despite these known risks.

I have reviewed TLC's Health and Safety Procedures found at www.mytlcstudent.com/safety and have made sure that my student is aware of them. I understand that if I or my student exhibit behavior that is contrary to these procedures we may be asked to leave the facility and forfeit our lesson/tuition.

I have provided an electronic form of payment for my student(s) TLC Membership and understand that my membership fee will be deducted on the 1st of each month until the time that I submit a withdrawal as detailed below. I also understand that a nonrefundable fee of $30 per student (maximum of $50 per family) is required at enrollment and will renew every year on September 1st. Accounts that are overdue 10 days will be subjected to a late fee of $25.00. *Registration fee is not applicable on $19.99 or $39.99/memberships.

I understand that no refunds, credits or private make-up classes are given for any missed classes. If The Lesson Center (TLC) cancels classes due to teacher or substitute absence, a credit toward the next months Membership will be given. If I cannot be at my in-person or online lesson, my teacher will send me a digital lesson to review before our next face to face meeting. Closures due to extreme weather or circumstances may be required and it will be determined at the time in question (due to duration and severity) whether students will be credited, scheduled a make-up or receive remote lessons for the missed time.

I understand that should I wish to discontinue my TLC Student Membership, I must complete the digital Hold/Withdrawal Form found under the STUDENTS menu of the TLC website (www.mytlcstudent.com) no later than the 16th of the month. If my withdrawal is received after the 16th, I understand that my membership/private lesson schedule will continue until the end of the subsequent month. No other forms of withdrawal (email, letter, word of mouth) will be accepted.

I understand that it is my responsibility to be aware of all school activities, such as recitals, group class start and end dates, holidays and other closures. I can find these dates/times on the TLC website and will also be notified via the email I provided at enrollment. It is my responsibility to inform TLC of any address, phone, email or billing changes or make the changes myself via the Parent/Student Portal.
