2. Tuition, Fees and Payment (Monthly Auto Pay) Policies 3.1 Tuition, Fees and Payment Policies. ABK's membership and program fees will be charged according to current rate schedule, which are subject to change. ABK programs have an Annual Membership Fee of $30 per individual and $60 per family. Tuition is due on the first or fifth of each month, depending on the program, and is based on flat monthly rates. If the participant should receive five classes during the month instead of four there will be no extra charge, although it will be considered a makeup for holiday or weather-related closures. If accounts are paid after the 5th of the month there will be a $5.00 late fee applied to the account balance. ABK may initiate collections actions against or assign to a collection agency any account that is at least 30 days overdue. There is a $25 returned check charge for any checks returned by the bank. I understand that if my check is returned by the bank, or I am late with payments, that ABK will require automatic credit or debit card payments from that point forward. Chargebacks will be reposted to the account, incur late fees retroactive to the date of the fee posting, and will be due in full immediately. 3.2 Auto Pay Policy. I hereby authorize ABK to charge my credit or debit card for all services, products, and fees that I and those linked to my account incur with ABK including but not limited to charges for tuition, memberships, special events, camps, private lessons, seminars, equipment, etc. (Note: Fees are subject to change). I understand that my credit or debit card will continue to be charged on a monthly, session or periodic basis. I agree to notify ABK immediately of any change in the status of my charge account including but not limited to card expiration, name change, limitation of use, loss or theft or the card, etc. In the event that the amount charged is refused for whatever reason ABK will attempt to process payment again. I accept responsibility for full payment for the amount charged as well as any late charges incurred. A $5 per month non-auto debit fee will be charged to all accounts not set up on auto pay. I understand that multiple auto pay failures may result in my account being converted to a non-auto pay account, which incurs additional fees as stated above. I agree that I am responsible for paying all fees incurred for those individuals linked to my account. I agree that I am responsible for paying all fees for purchases made by those individuals linked to my account.
3. Supplemental Programs, Reschedule, and Make-Up Policies 4.1 Supplemental Programs.
