HSPA Policies
Payment & Enrolment Policy
Charges are per term, not per week although they are calculated by the number of active weeks in a term. There are no refunds for students missing lessons due to other activities or illness.
By enrolling with HSPA you enrol for the calendar year, until such time as you withdraw from the class. You will continue to be invoiced each term until you withdraw from class via email. You are liable to pay the term fee if you do not withdraw from a class before the term begins.
In your first week of class you must notify us via email if it is not for you, we will then remove you from the class. Beyond the first week of lesson, students will be expected to pay for the term if no email notification is given.
An $8 administration fee is added to your account if payments are not made by the due date.
Students may not continue in class if they have not paid the previous term's fees.
All bad debts passed on to Baycorp will be liable for the collection costs incurred, after all reasonable notifications have been sent.
Waiver

HSPA and it's tutors are not liable for injury to students during their performing arts lessons. These are by nature, physical classes, students may come into contact with each other and the tutor during the course of the class.
