Monster Sessions: Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Monster Sessions Terms of Service:

CHECKOUT TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
I agree and understand that Monster Sessions does not offer refunds for live classes under any circumstances. If I am unable to attend my scheduled class date and need to cancel or reschedule, a written notice must be received by Monster Sessions within one week before my scheduled class date. If I do not provide written notice within this time frame, my registration fee will be forfeited. If proper written notice is provided, I will be issued a credit for that same class, good for exactly one year from the original date of purchase. This credit is non-transferable, and may not be applied to any online class, or to a different live class.

A written notice received after one week before scheduled live class date will be considered a ‘no-show’, and will result in a 100% forfeiture of class tuition. The only exception to this rule would be made by providing proof of the following: Illness with a doctor’s note, or death of a family member. If such evidence is provided to our satisfaction, I will be issued a credit for that same class, good for one year from the original purchase date.

Monster Sessions does issue full refunds for online classes, if conditions outlined are met.
