STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT - COMMITMENT TO COMPLY

I understand and agree to comply with School of Rock’s STUDENT Code of Conduct as described above. I have had the opportunity to discuss these items and to ask questions of School staff as needed.

STAFF CODE OF CONDUCT

Every School of Rock location is required to ensure all staff members comply with a Non-Fraternization policy prohibiting staff from contacting, communicating, or interacting with underage students outside of or unrelated to any School of Rock activities. As a parent, you should know and comply with the policy which is designed to ensure your student’s safety. Contact a management team member at your local school for a copy of their policy.

Prohibited fraternization activity includes, but is not limited to the following:

  • Corresponding in any way with underage* students through email without the parent being copied on the email.

  • Corresponding in any way with underage* students through text messaging, instant messaging, or social media sites. Instructors are not allowed to ‘friend’, follow, message, correspond, or in any way engage on social media with a student.

  • Calling underage* students by telephone outside of a direct relation to a student’s lesson, rehearsal, School of Rock program, event, or show.

  • Meeting with underage* students outside the school grounds for any reason other than one directly related to a School of Rock music program, show, or school-sponsored event. A parent must be in attendance.

  • Any meeting with an underage* student directly related to a School of Rock music program or show occurring off of school premises must be with the advance knowledge and approval of your Supervisor, the student’s parent(s), and must occur in an open or public place or in the presence of the parent(s).

  • Meeting with any student (underage* or adult) outside the school premises for the purposes of giving music lessons or teaching music

  • Visiting an underage* student at their home.

  • Traveling alone with an underage* student.

*An underage student is defined as anyone under the age of 18 OR enrolled/participating in a non-adult program.

PROHIBITION OF USE, POSSESSION, DISTRIBUTION, PURCHASE OR SALE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS AND TOBACCO ON SCHOOL OF ROCK PREMISES OR RELATED TO SCHOOL OF ROCK INSTRUCTION OR EVENTS

School of Rock maintains a “zero tolerance” policy related to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.

Using, possessing, distributing, purchasing, or selling tobacco, alcoholic beverages, or any illegal drug, controlled substance (including any prescription drug when not prescribed for the student by a physician or licensed practitioner, or when used in a manner inconsistent with the prescription or prescribing physician or licensed practitioner’s instructions), inhalant, cannabis (including marijuana and hashish) or drug paraphernalia while on School of Rock premises or related to participation in a School of Rock program or event of any kind including rehearsals, performances, and trips/tours regardless of location is strictly prohibited whether on or off the premises or facilities of School of Rock, and regardless of the particular laws of a state or country in which a student may be traveling with the School.

Failure of a student to abide by this policy may result in the student’s expulsion from the School of Rock program and the notification of local police authorities. If a student is expelled from School of Rock as a result of violating this policy, the student or his or her parent[s] will not receive a refund or return of any money, deposits, or fees paid to School of Rock. If the student is traveling with a School of Rock activity and is found to have engaged in conduct in violation of School of Rock’s policy prohibiting the use, possession, distribution, purchase, or sale of tobacco, alcoholic beverages, or drugs, he or she may be sent home, in the sole discretion of School of Rock with all costs of return transportation imposed on the student and his or her parent, which costs they agree to bear by signing below.

School of Rock expects the parents of its students to encourage and monitor their child’s compliance with this policy and to have serious discussions with their child regarding School of Rock’s “zero tolerance” policy prohibiting the use, possession, distribution, purchase, or sale of tobacco, alcoholic beverages or drugs, and the consequences for violating the policy; how crucial it is to adhere to School of Rock’s policy at all times and places; and, that other countries in which the student may travel with School of Rock may have punishments that may be very different than in the U.S. By signing below, parent[s] are acknowledging that they are responsible for having these discussions and have had such conversation(s) with their child who is a student at School of Rock.

EAR PROTECTION WAIVER AND RELEASE

Exposure to amplified sound for prolonged periods of time can result in permanent hearing damage. It is the student’s responsibility to possess and maintain hearing protection while participating in School of Rock activities. Students not adhering to the policy may be required to sit out of the School of Rock activity and will not receive a refund or return of any money, deposits or fees paid to School of Rock.

I understand the risks of me or my child not wearing earplugs or other protective hearing devices when participating in School of Rock programs as a performer, observer, or stagehand. Such programs (including but not limited to practicing, playing, and hearing rock music at loud levels) can cause permanent hearing damage or loss. I acknowledge that I have read School of Rock’s policy requiring the use of ear protection during rehearsals, live shows, or any activities with prolonged exposure to amplified sound.

I am aware that participation in these programs may entail known and unknown risks of injury to me or my child’s hearing and health. I expressly agree, for myself and on behalf of my minor child, to accept and assume all responsibility and risk for potential injury or damage to me or my minor child, to accept and assume all responsibility and risk for potential injury or damage to me or my child’s hearing or health that arises from participation in these programs. I freely elect for me and my child to participate in School of Rock's programs despite such known and unknown risks. I am advised by School of Rock that my child and I should wear protective hearing devices when participating in its programs because doing so may reduce the potential for hearing damage or loss.

In consideration of participating in School of Rock’s programs, I, for myself and for any minors for which I am the parent or legal guardian do on behalf of myself and such minors and on behalf of my and their heirs, personal representatives, or assigns, do hereby release and hold harmless School of Rock, LLC and its franchisees and their respective staff, consultants, representatives, agents, officers, directors, licensees, and affiliates (“School of Rock”), from any and all liability for hearing damage or loss of hearing or related injuries or damages suffered, and I hereby waive any lawsuit, claim or cause of action for damages arising from injury or damage to my hearing or loss of hearing as well as from any other personal injury resulting from my decision to participate in School of Rock’s programs. I further agree to accept full responsibility for any and all expenses, including medical expenses that may arise from any injuries that may occur as a result of me or my child's failure to wear protective hearing devices.

This release and waiver shall apply regardless of whether I or my child chooses to wear, or chooses not to wear, earplugs or other protective hearing devices.

CONSENT TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT

I consent to emergency medical treatment in the event such care is required as determined by the School of Rock. I agree to the use of my/my child’s personal medical insurance as the primary medical coverage if an accident, injury, or illness occurs and medical attention is needed while my child is participating in School of Rock programs, events, activities and trips. I acknowledge and agree that if I am not available to confirm or deny medical care or action for my child, my child will be transported to the nearest medical facility, and the medical professionals at that facility will make a determination regarding treatment.

PERMISSION TO USE STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEO, AND AUDIO PERFORMANCE RECORDINGS

You acknowledge and agree that parents, friends, students, media photographers, fans, and others, including School of Rock, will photograph, video, film, and record performances, sessions, rehearsals, and lessons that may include your child as a performer, as a spectator, and/or as a student (individually and collectively, the “Images and Recordings”). On behalf of yourself and your child, you hereby forever release, discharge, and agree to hold School of Rock, LLC and its franchisees and their respective staff, consultants, representatives, agents, officers, directors, licensees, and affiliates (“School of Rock”), harmless from any and all claims, regardless of form or origin, arising from the creation, use, or distribution of the Images and Recordings including without limitation any claims for copyright infringement, defamation, libel, invasion of privacy and/or publicity rights, and claims relating to any distortion or illusory effect.

Additionally, you agree that School of Rock, LLC and its franchisees and their respective staff, consultants, representatives, agents, officers, directors, licensees, and affiliates (“School of Rock”), shall have the right to collect and use the Images and Recordings and that School of Rock shall have the right to identify your child by name in the Images and Recordings, for the limited purpose of marketing and promoting School of Rock in all forms of media, now or hereafter known, including, but not limited to, in publications, on its and its affiliates’ website and/or in social media (the “Promotional Uses”). You grant permission to School of Rock to use the Images and Recordings for the limited purposes set forth herein.

You further acknowledge and agree that School of Rock does not control the distribution of Images and Recordings created by any person outside the control of School of Rock. This consent is valid for the entire time your child is enrolled for instruction and activities at the school and thereafter unless this consent is revoked in writing.

You hereby waive any right of inspection or approval of the Images and Recordings and/or the Promotional Uses. You also acknowledge and agree that School of Rock is not obligated to use any Images and Recordings that include your child in the Promotional Uses or otherwise. You also acknowledge and agree that School of Rock shall be deemed the sole owner and author of all Images and Recordings created by School of Rock.

PRIVACY POLICY

For company-owned locations, I acknowledge and agree that me and my child’s personal information will be collected and processed in accordance with School of Rock, LLC’s privacy policy located at: https://www.schoolofrock.com/privacy-policy. I also understand and acknowledge that if my school is a franchised location, such location is an independently owned and operated business, and I should contact the location for its privacy policy and practices.

CANCELLATION POLICY

There is a 30-day cancellation policy, and this includes any hold/hiatus you may need to take.

To end enrollment and cancel automatic charges, you must provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice. In order to end enrollment under any program, you must call or speak to a management team member at the location where your student is enrolled to complete and receive confirmation of your cancellation. You may also email the location where your student is enrolled to request cancellation.

Please notify a management team member at least 30 days prior to the student’s intended hiatus so that you will not be charged. Additionally, please contact a management team member two weeks prior to your child’s return to get them back on the schedule. Due to scheduling constraints, we cannot guarantee your student will have the same lesson time when they return.

MISSED LESSON POLICY

If a lesson is canceled by School of Rock for any reason (e.g. teacher illness, inclement weather), we will provide a make-up lesson at no additional cost. This does not include any closures for seasonal prep weeks or holidays. Due to scheduling constraints, the make-up lesson may or may not occur on the same day of the week as your typical lesson.

In the event you are unable to attend a lesson for your own reason, School of Rock will make efforts to arrange for a make-up lesson, provided, however, that you notify a management team member of your expected absence at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled lesson. Due to scheduling constraints, the make-up lesson may or may not occur on the same day of the week as your typical lesson, and may or may not be given by your regular instructor. If you fail to show up for your lesson or notify a management team member less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled lesson, you will not be eligible for a make-up lesson.

CLEANLINESS AND HYGIENE POLICY

At School of Rock, we prioritize the health and safety of our students, staff, and community by maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene. To help prevent the spread of illness, we encourage proper hand hygiene before music lessons and require that anyone feeling unwell refrain from attending in-person sessions. Additionally, vocal students are required to bring their own microphone to rehearsals and performances.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

School of Rock is closed on New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Please check with your local school for their specific holiday schedule.

ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY RELATING TO CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. I understand that School of Rock cannot guarantee that my minor child and I will not become infected with COVID-19. By participating in group and any other activities which could pose a higher risk of infection with COVID-19, I acknowledge, on my and My Child’s behalf, the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that My Child or I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending the School of Rock and any activities or events hosted by School of Rock, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and/or death. I agree to follow School of Rock’s COVID-19 guidelines (as amended from time to time) during participation in any activities, as well as the guidelines of the Venue Operators, any Travel and Logistics Providers, any Host Jurisdictions to the extent that such guidelines are stricter than the then-current School of Rock COVID-19 guidelines.


REMOTE LESSONS

School of Rock is offering remote music lessons to parents and students when they cannot attend music lessons in person. School of Rock may also ask or require its instructors to conduct music lessons remotely.

Remote music lessons are conducted online and therefore not monitored or supervised at the School of Rock premises. The parent or guardian is expected to supervise the student during the entirety of any School of Rock remote music lessons.

As such, we shall hold no copyright interest in Student’s Works.

Copyright

We do not make any representations or assurances that Student’s Work is eligible for copyright protection or registration. A student is not required to file for copyright registration in any of his or her Works, and the terms of this Agreement shall apply to both registered and unregistered Works. Filing and prosecuting a copyright application(s) for Works will be entirely Student’s responsibility, inclusive of any legal assistance needed, and satisfaction of all requirements, deadlines, and financial obligations.

License Grants

Student’s guardian and Student hereby grant to Us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to: publicly perform Student’s Works and recordings of the Works, including on the internet; transcribe, reproduce, and distribute sheet music of the Works; and record the Works, solely for the purposes of:

1) education of School of Rock students, inclusive of presentation to School or Rock students and their families;
