Terms of Service

Last updated: October 12, 2026

By booking a lesson, purchasing a flex pack, or starting weekly lessons with Music with Nick, you agree to these terms. They cover scheduling, payment, cancellation, and what happens in the unlikely event something goes wrong.

In these terms

Booking & payment

Lessons are 50 minutes, one-on-one, in person at the Ukrainian Village studio; Zoom is available for weeks you’re traveling or unwell. Single lessons are $125 and require payment at booking. Flex 4-Packs ($450) are purchased upfront and redeemed against individual lessons. Weekly lessons are $100 per lesson, billed $400 every 4 weeks from your start date; each payment adds four lessons to your account, and billing continues until you cancel.

Payment is processed through Stripe. We accept all major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and ACH.

Weekly lessons

Starting weekly lessons reserves your regular weekly lesson time for as long as you remain enrolled. Tuition is $100 per lesson, billed $400 every 4 weeks from the date you start, with no fixed term. Each payment adds four lesson credits to your account. Unused credits roll over while your subscription is active. You can join anytime — your billing simply begins when you do.

The first-month guarantee: if it’s not working within your first four lessons, tell us and you owe nothing more — cancel before your second payment and you keep only the first $400 payment.

Cancelling: you may cancel at any time before your next payment date, from your client account or by contacting Nick. No further payments are charged. The current 4-week cycle is non-refundable. Lesson credits already paid for remain redeemable until the date your next payment would have fallen due; on request, Nick will extend them so you can use what you’ve paid for. Your weekly slot is released at the end of the paid cycle.

Missed lessons: with 24+ hours notice, your lesson moves to another opening that same week when one exists; otherwise it is used. Under 24 hours or a no-show, the lesson is used. Illness is always handled, whatever the notice — tell Nick and stay home.

Studio closures: holiday closures and no-lesson weeks are published in advance on the schedule page. A closed week does not consume a lesson credit; the credit rolls over. Twice a year, in January and June, credit balances are reviewed, and any student holding three or more unused lessons has their next payment date pushed back one cycle. If we cancel a lesson outside published closures, you choose another opening that week or the credit stays in your account.

Payments: autopay by card on your billing date every 4 weeks, with a reminder email sent about a week before each payment. If a payment fails, your subscription pauses until the card is updated from your client account; your weekly slot is released after 30 days unpaid. The per-lesson rate may change with at least 30 days’ written notice; continued billing after that date constitutes acceptance of the new rate.

Full plain-English details are on the How Enrollment Works page.

Flex packs & credits

Flex 4-Pack and single-lesson credits are valid for one year from the date of purchase, booked from open times without a reserved slot. Unused credits expire at the end of that year. We don’t prorate or refund expired credits. Flex credits are unaffected by weekly lessons — use them anytime.

Credits are non-transferable between students and have no cash value.

Cancellation & rescheduling

Life happens. Here’s how it works.

Your weekly time is reserved for you for as long as you’re enrolled and offered to no one else. That reservation is what the notice policy protects.

To cancel or ask about an opening, use the link in your Acuity confirmation email or contact Nick directly.

Refunds

Weekly lessons: covered by the first-month guarantee and cancellation terms above.

Flex packs: if you’ve purchased a pack and haven’t used any credits, you can request a full refund within 14 days of purchase. After 14 days, unused credits can be refunded at the per-lesson rate of $125 (i.e., the “volume discount” doesn’t apply retroactively if you cancel early).

Used credits are non-refundable.

If we have to cancel a lesson on our end (illness, emergency), the credit is restored fully and we’ll work to reschedule promptly.

Minors

Students under 18 require a parent or guardian to make the booking and to be the payment account holder. For in-person lessons with younger students (under 14), a parent or guardian is welcome to remain present in the studio or in the reception area; in either case, students should arrive and leave with a parent / guardian present.

Conduct & safety

The studio is a private, professional space. Inappropriate behavior, harassment, or any conduct that makes Nick or other students uncomfortable will result in the immediate end of lessons and a refund of unused credits.

Nick reserves the right to decline or discontinue lessons with any student for any reason.

Liability

Music lessons involve repetitive physical motion, vocal use, and the handling of instruments and equipment. By taking lessons, you acknowledge the inherent risks of musical practice and release Music with Nick from liability for injury or damage that may result from normal participation.

This site and its content are provided “as is.” We make no warranties about the accuracy of pricing, scheduling, or other information beyond what’s confirmed at the time of purchase.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms occasionally. Material changes will be communicated to active students by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued billing after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Questions? Email nick@musicwithnick.com. As a small, owner-operated studio, we'd rather talk it through than litigate it.
