COVID-19 & Liability Waiver
I understand that the novel coronavirus causes the disease known as COVID-19. I understand COVID-19 has a long incubation period during which the carriers of the virus may not show the symptoms and may still be contagious.
Though ACT will strive to maintain physical distancing, I understand that a 6-foot distance may not always be possible while my student is in class with ACT.
I understand that for the safety of everyone, my student's temperature will be checked with a non-contact thermometer before entering the ACT studios each day and that my student will not be able to attend class that day if he/she has a fever or is sick.
In accordance with current guidelines, ACT staff will wear masks whenever possible. Students are also encouraged to wear masks, but ACT understands that some students may not be able to wear masks due to medical or other reasons and we respect that.
I understand that a more detailed listing of safety precautions can be found on the ACT web site. I also understand that if government regulations change, ACT guidelines will change and I will be notified.
I understand the staff of ACT will strive to minimize the spread of COVID-19, but I will not hold the Academy of Children's Theatre (ACT), its employees, or representatives responsible should my student contract COVID-19.
I also agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Academy of Children's Theatre (ACT), its officers, employees, agents, consultants, subcontractors, insurers and representatives, for any loss, damage, or injury to myself or my property in any way related to my participation in ACT programs. This release of liability applies to me as well as any of my children, personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin.
Medical Emergencies
In the event of an emergency, I understand that a reasonable effort will be made to contact me. If I cannot be reached, I hereby authorize an agent of the Academy of Children’s Theatre (ACT) to act on my behalf to seek emergency medical treatment for my child, listed above, in the event that such treatment is deemed necessary by that agent. I authorize the physician selected by said agent to administer such emergency treatment as said physician deems necessary (in his/her judgment) under the circumstances. I understand and agree that I will be responsible for payment of said physician's fee and any and all other fees or expenses associated with such treatment.
Online Video Class Authorization
I authorize my student to attend online video conference classes with the Academy of Children's Theatre if needed due to cancelations of in-person classes because of inclement weather or other unforeseen closures. I understand that if the need arises to switch to virtual teaching, this will take the place of in-person classes and I am still responsible for the semester tuition.
Publicity Waiver
Unless informed otherwise in writing, the Academy of Children's Theatre (ACT) considers photographs and recordings (film, video, digital, etc.) taken of students and their work in class and in performance to be permissible for publication in ACT marketing materials and in informational publications, including our website.
Payment Policies
Unless paid in full, all accounts must be set up on autopay with a debit card (preferred) or credit card for payment on the 1st of each month. If you desire to ONLY pay with cash or check, please contact the Welcome Desk at 719-331-2434 or Director@ACTcolorado.net to make arrangements. Payments by check or cash will need to be paid BEFORE the 1st of each month or the credit/debit card on file will automatically be charged on the 1st.
Semester tuition is based on a 16-session semester and is divided into equal monthly payments to make it easier on a family budget. It is not adjusted or discounted based on the length of the month, absenteeism, school closures, vacations, holidays, inclement weather, or the need to switch to virtual instruction due to inclement weather, government regulations, or other unforeseen closures.
I consent to ACT charging my debit or credit card for monthly tuition fees on the 1st of the month for February-May, 2021 until the balance is paid.
I understand that there will be a $25 fee for any returned check, declined debit/credit card, or disputed charge. A late fee of $10.00 will be incurred for payments received after the 1st of each month.
Withdrawal & Refund
I understand that I am purchasing a spot in class for the semester.
If I choose to withdraw my student within 2 days after the first class, my tuition will be refunded minus the initial deposit. (ACT offers the 2 day grace period after the first class so that parents can confirm that their student desires to remain in class, yet still gives ACT time to find a replacement before the second class if you decide to withdraw.)
If I withdraw my student any time after the 2 day grace period through the end of the semester, and ACT is unable to find a replacement for the spot, I will be responsible for the full semester tuition. If I have chosen to pay on a monthly basis, the balance of the semester tuition will be charged to my card at the time of withdrawal.
Spring Break Camp Refund Policy
I understand that IF I am registering for a spring break camp, the refund policy is as follows. (ALL families will need to agree to this policy to register for any class or camp, but it only applies to those registering for spring break camps.)
If I choose to withdraw my student from spring break camp before March 1st, my tuition will be refunded minus a $100 administrative fee. If I withdraw my student from spring break camp on or after March 1st, no refund given. IF ACT CANCELS SPRING BREAK CAMP, a full refund will be given.
Tuition
I understand that my debit or credit card will be charged a non-refundable deposit equivalent to the monthly fee per student/per class upon registration. If my student is also registered for a foundation seminar, an additional $25 will be charged per foundation seminar. If I choose to pay in full AT REGISTRATION TODAY, my card will be charged the full semester tuition minus a 5% discount, along with any other applicable discounts. I understand that the deposit(s) is non-refundable whether the tuition is paid in full at registration or on a monthly basis.
I understand that the balance of the semester tuition will be charged in four equal monthly payments starting February 1. Please see our web site for full details about the tuition amount for your student's class.
Parent or Guardian Confirmation
I hereby certify that I am a parent or guardian of the student listed above and that I have the authority to sign as a representative for any additional parents or guardians of the student.
