Contracts

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all contracts between Spotlight Studios and its members and customers, unless otherwise agreed in writing in individual cases. Members are those persons who are authorized on the basis of a contract concluded with the school. The contract is concluded for an indefinite period.

By signing the application, applicants grant Spotlight Studios the SEPA direct debit authorization to debit the corresponding monthly fees. The direct debit mandate is redeemed by the school between the first and fifth day of the month, during which time the member must ensure that their account has sufficient funds. If the direct debit fails due to insufficient funds (direct debit return), the direct debit mandate issued to the school is not thereby revoked. The member is responsible for any costs incurred by Spotlight Studios as a result of a returned direct debit. The course fees are to be paid monthly in advance on the 1st working day of the month.

Non-attendance or premature termination of lessons does not release the student from the obligation to pay.

A refund of the membership fee is excluded.

In the event of two months without payment, the school is entitled to terminate the contract. In this case, the member must pay the full monthly fees up to the earliest date on which ordinary termination could have taken place.

Spotlight Studios must be informed immediately of any changes of address or account.

Unstruction

Spotlight Studios is free to choose the content of the lessons. There are no regular lessons during school vacations or public holidays (Baden-Württemberg). In some cases we offer a special vacation program for adult courses.

In urgent cases such as sick lecturer, renovation or low number of participants, courses can be combined, canceled or moved to other classrooms. Spotlight Studios reserves the right to postpone or cancel courses if there are not enough participants. If an instructor is ill, an alternative date will be organized. If a member is ill or absent, there is no entitlement to a refund or replacement lesson.

Spotlight Studios accepts no liability for loss or damage to valuables. Furthermore, Spotlight Studios accepts no liability for lost or damaged clothing.

Participation in trial lessons is at your own risk. No liability is accepted in the event of insurance claims.

The course fee will not be refunded in the event of discrepancies. The studio has the right to terminate the contract immediately in the event of misconduct or gross breaches of the rules.

If a member is ill for one month or more, the contract can be suspended upon presentation of a medical certificate. The member undertakes to submit the certificate immediately within a two-week period, stating the exact period, otherwise the certificate cannot be taken into account. Only complete months can be taken into account.

Termination

Notice period: Three months notice period, possible at any time. Notice of termination must be given in writing.
