Cancellation and Refund Policy

Rhythms Academy of Fine Arts aims to maintain a transparent process for cancellations, refunds and payment-related concerns.

This policy applies to payments made directly to the Academy or through its authorized payment platforms, subject to the terms communicated for the relevant service.

1. Admission and Registration Fees

Admission and registration fees are generally non-refundable once registration has been processed and the associated administrative services have commenced, except where otherwise agreed or required by applicable law.

2. Course and Tuition Fees

Students or parents seeking to discontinue a course must submit a written request to the Academy.

Refund eligibility will depend on the date of cancellation, the services already provided, any specific terms disclosed at enrollment and applicable law.

Fees relating to classes or educational services already delivered are generally not refundable.

Where a refund is applicable, the Academy will communicate the approved amount and any lawful deductions.

Participation fees for performances, concerts, workshops and academy events are subject to the cancellation conditions communicated during registration.
