Definitions

Capitalized or quoted terms not defined in this policy statement are defined in the MusicLessons.com Terms of Use.

"Platform Services" means the services and technologies that MusicLessons.com provides to their Members to create free and Premium Content, teach private lessons using video conferencing technology, or interact with each other through our Service.

Fees, Payments

Teachers may create a free, public profile in the MusicLessons.com Teacher & School Directory and are not required to use any MusicLessons.com Platform Services that will incur any charges or fees that would be assessed to the Teacher. If you choose to use the MusicLessons.com Platform Services, you will have the ability to set your own rates and fees that are charged to Students when they access these services. Your rates and fees will be publicly displayed as part of your public profile or within the listings for any Premium Content you provide.

Service Fees. Teachers may enable certain components of the Platform Services that require payments by Teachers to MusicLessons.com for the use of such component services. Payments may be in the form of monthly fees, percentage commissions on Content sold by a Teacher directly to Students/Members, single-use charges and otherwise. Each fee will be described in the component Platform Service accessed by Teacher. Teacher agrees to pay such fees or otherwise have those fees offset by amounts due to Teacher for the delivery of Premium Content by Teacher utilizing the Platform Services.
Payment to Teachers. All Student fees that are assessed by accessing our Platform Services must be paid by Students through the MusicLessons.com platform using the online payment services provided by MusicLessons.com or its then current third-party online payment services provider.
1. You will be paid by check or direct deposit within the discretion of MusicLessons.com in U.S. Dollars only.
2. You understand and agree that MusicLessons.com will pay you on a monthly basis, provided that your account balance is greater than $50.00, for all Student payments less all the applicable fees. You will not be paid for cancelled Lessons or rescheduled Lessons until they have been completed.

Cancellation and Refund Policy. You acknowledge and agree that Students may terminate their Premium Content subscriptions and/or Lessons at any time by notice to you and/or MusicLessons.com through the Service. In the event of such cancellation, you will not be entitled to receive any fees or other payment for cancelled Premium Content subscriptions or Lessons. You further acknowledge and agree that MusicLessons.com may offer refunds to Students who are not fully satisfied with their experience or for any Premium Content which has been removed from MusicLessons.com by you or by MusicLessons.com for violations of the Terms of Use. Any refunds shall be deducted from your account and paid from any positive balances therein. MusicLessons.com retains the right of offset for any liabilities for refunds or other costs, charges, fees or expenses incurred by MusicLessons.com with respect to your provision of Content and, without limitation, any violation by you of the MusicLessons.com Terms of Use or the Terms of Use of any third-party accessed through MusicLessons.com.

If any sales tax is required by your state or local jurisdiction, you will be solely responsible for collecting and remitting any such taxes.

Termination

We may at any time cease to continue operating part or all or selectively disable certain aspects of the Service.
