Private Lesson Terms of Service

A & B Worldwide Entertainment LLC


These Private Lesson Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) are a legally binding contract between A & B Worldwide Entertainment LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) and you (“Student,” “Client,” or “User”). Welcome to Bachata Legacy. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which you hereby acknowledge, by booking a private lesson, you agree to these terms in addition to the Master Terms of Service and Master Refund Policy. By completing your purchase, booking a session, or continuing to use our Services, you consent to conduct business electronically, and you acknowledge that this digital action and continued participation constitutes your Active Acceptance and a legally binding electronic signature. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Master Terms of Service regarding private lessons, the provisions of this Agreement shall strictly govern and control.

1.0 Authorized Participants

1.1 Private lessons are valid strictly for the individual or specific couple registered at the time of booking.

1.2 Unregistered guests, partners, or spectators are not permitted to watch, sit in, or participate.

1.3 Bringing an unauthorized participant will result in the immediate termination of the lesson without a refund, or a secondary invoice for the additional Student.

1.4 Partner Warranty and Agency: If you book a lesson on behalf of a couple or bring an approved partner, you legally warrant that you are acting as their authorized representative and agent. You guarantee that you have provided them with this Entire Agreement and that they have explicitly consented to all terms herein, including, but not limited to, all physical liability waivers, intellectual property restrictions, and media rights waivers. If your partner or guest violates any term of this Agreement or brings any legal claim against us, you assume one hundred percent (100%) of the legal and financial liability on their behalf.

2.0 ABSOLUTE NON-REFUNDABILITY

2.1 ALL PRIVATE LESSON PURCHASES, INCLUDING SINGLE SESSIONS AND PACKAGES, ARE STRICTLY FINAL SALE AND NON-REFUNDABLE. PAYMENTS ARE CONSIDERED EARNED BY US UPON RECEIPT TO SECURE INSTRUCTOR AVAILABILITY. NO REFUNDS, CREDITS, OR ROLLOVERS WILL BE ISSUED FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MEDICAL EMERGENCIES, INJURIES, TRAVEL DELAYS, TIME ZONE ERRORS, OR PERSONAL DISSATISFACTION.

2.2 INITIATING A CHARGEBACK OR PAYMENT DISPUTE CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL RESULT IN THE IMMEDIATE FORFEITURE OF ALL REMAINING LESSONS AND SERVICES WITHOUT A REFUND.

3.0 Scheduling, Cancellations, and Punctuality

3.1 Rescheduling: You may request to reschedule a lesson only if notice is provided at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled start time. Rescheduling is subject to instructor availability and is never guaranteed.

3.2 Late Cancellation: Any request made with less than twenty-four (24) hours' notice, or failure to appear, results in the immediate forfeiture of the lesson and the full fee.

3.3 Firm End Times: Lessons end precisely at the scheduled time. If you arrive late, your lesson will not be extended.

3.4 No-Show Cutoff: If you are more than fifteen (15) minutes late without prior written communication, the session is canceled as a "No-Show." The lesson is forfeited, and no credit will be issued.

3.5 Time is of the Essence: TIME IS STRICTLY OF THE ESSENCE regarding all scheduling, cancellation notice periods, and punctuality requirements outlined in this Agreement.

4.0 Expiration and Forfeiture of Assets

4.1 Unused lessons expire and are forfeited according to the following schedule from the date of purchase: Single lessons expire in thirty (30) days; five-lesson packages expire in three (3) months; ten-lesson packages expire in six (6) months.

4.2 Instructor Pause: If Daniel Arnon or Bri Jones are unavailable due to touring or personal leave, the expiration clock is paused and will resume when we return to availability. Student unavailability (including, but not limited to, injury, travel, or schedule conflicts) does not pause the expiration clock.

5.1 All concepts, drills, footwork, partnerwork patterns, and "Bachata Legacy" methodologies taught are the exclusive intellectual property of A & B Worldwide Entertainment LLC.

5.2 No Teaching or Reselling: You are strictly prohibited from teaching, coaching, or reselling the specific techniques or combinations learned in private lessons to third parties, whether for profit or otherwise.

5.3 No Recording: Recording any portion of the lesson is strictly prohibited unless Daniel Arnon or Bri Jones provide explicit, verbal permission for a specific "recap" segment.

5.4 Personal Use Only: Any approved recordings are for your private, individual training only. Publicly posting, sharing, or distributing these recordings is a violation of Federal Copyright Law.

6.0 Safety and Conduct

6.1 We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for harassment or inappropriate behavior. We reserve the absolute right to terminate any session immediately if we feel unsafe, disrespected, or if our professional boundaries are crossed. No refund will be issued in such cases.

7.0 Technical, Location, and Time Zone Responsibility

7.1 For virtual lessons, you are solely responsible for your internet connection and equipment. We are not responsible for time zone conversion errors. A missed lesson due to a technical failure on your end is a forfeited lesson.

7.2 For in-person lessons, you are solely responsible for securing the location and paying any associated studio rental costs, floor fees, or entry tickets required to conduct the lesson.

8.0 TOTAL ASSUMPTION OF RISK, PHYSICAL INJURY, AND KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY WAIVER

8.1 DANCE INVOLVES PHYSICAL MOVEMENT, CARDIOVASCULAR EXERTION, AND INHERENT RISKS.

9.2 Third-Party Media Consent: By bringing a partner or guest to a lesson, you formally warrant that you have secured their absolute, irrevocable consent to be filmed, photographed, and utilized in our global marketing and commercial materials as outlined in Section 9.1. You agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless against any privacy, publicity, defamation, or copyright claims brought by your unregistered partner or guest regarding the use of their likeness.

12.0 Governing Law, Arbitration, and Legal Fees

You permanently waive any right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or jury trials. The prevailing party in any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees, costs, and out-of-pocket expenses from the non-prevailing party.

13.0 Injunctive Relief

13.1 You acknowledge that any breach of the intellectual property or recording prohibition provisions of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to A & B Worldwide Entertainment LLC, for which monetary damages would be inadequate. Accordingly, we shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief and any other equitable remedies available in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction to enforce these provisions, without the necessity of posting a bond, proving actual damages, or waiting for arbitration.

14.0 Force Majeure

14.1 We are not liable for any failure to perform our obligations due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, pandemics, governmental restrictions, natural disasters, internet outages, or technical failures. However, no force majeure event shall excuse or delay your obligation to make payments to us or entitle you to a refund of any non-refundable completed purchase.

16.0 No Waiver

16.1 Our failure to enforce any strict provision of this Agreement at any time does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce that same provision, or any other provision, in the future. A one-time exception granted at our discretion does not invalidate our policies.

17.0 Time Limit on Claims

17.1 Any legal claim arising from your private lessons must be filed within one (1) year of the lesson date, or it is permanently barred.

18.0 Entire Agreement
