Lessons are usually delivered online using video call software such as Zoom or a similar platform.

To participate in online lessons, you are responsible for having:

  • A suitable guitar

  • A stable internet connection

  • A working device with camera and microphone

  • A quiet and suitable practice space

  • Any lesson materials we ask you to use

We are not responsible for lesson interruptions caused by your internet connection, device issues, software issues, background noise, or other problems outside our control.

4. Bookings

Lesson bookings are subject to teacher availability.

We may offer specific booking times based on current schedules. A booking is not confirmed until we have accepted the booking or sent confirmation.

For introductory programs, we may schedule multiple lessons in advance to help create consistency and progress.

5. Payments

Payment terms depend on the offer, package or subscription you choose.

We may offer:

  • One-off payments

  • Introductory lesson packages

  • Weekly or recurring subscriptions

  • Online course payments

  • Promotional offers

All prices are shown in Australian dollars unless stated otherwise.

Payment must be made using the payment method provided at the time of purchase or booking.

6. Introductory lesson packages

If you purchase an introductory lesson package, the package must be used within the timeframe stated on the offer page, booking page or checkout page.

Introductory packages are designed to help new students get started and are not intended as casual drop-in lessons.

Unused lessons may expire if not used within the stated timeframe, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

7. Ongoing lesson subscriptions

If you join an ongoing weekly lesson subscription, you agree to the recurring payment amount and billing frequency shown at checkout.

Your subscription continues until cancelled in accordance with these Terms.

You are responsible for ensuring your payment details remain up to date.

If a payment fails, we may pause lessons until payment is resolved.

8. Cancelling a subscription

You may cancel an ongoing subscription by contacting us in writing.

Please email:

[email protected]

We recommend giving at least 7 days’ notice before your next billing date to allow time for processing.

If a cancellation request is received after a payment has already been processed, the cancellation may apply from the next billing cycle.

Nothing in this section limits your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

9. Missed lessons and rescheduling

We understand that students may occasionally miss lessons.

Our standard policy is:

  • Please give as much notice as possible if you cannot attend a lesson.

  • Rescheduling is subject to teacher availability.

  • Missed lessons without reasonable notice may be forfeited.

  • Lesson credits, make-up lessons or reschedules are not guaranteed unless specifically included in your package or subscription.

  • Repeated missed lessons may affect your ongoing lesson time or placement.

For some packages or subscriptions, we may provide specific missed lesson credits or rescheduling options. If so, those details will be explained on the relevant offer page, checkout page, or in your lesson communication.

10. Teacher changes

We may assign lessons to Benn Allen or another suitable teacher.

We may change teachers where necessary due to availability, scheduling, business needs, student suitability, or other reasonable reasons.

If we change your teacher, we will aim to provide a smooth transition and maintain continuity in your learning.

11. Student behaviour and participation

Students are expected to participate respectfully and appropriately during lessons.

We may pause or stop lessons if a student, parent, guardian, or participant behaves in a way that is abusive, unsafe, disruptive, inappropriate, or unreasonable.

For students under 18, a parent or guardian is responsible for supervising the learning environment and ensuring appropriate online lesson conduct.

12. Parent or guardian responsibility

For students under 18:

  • A parent or guardian must make bookings and payments.

  • A parent or guardian must provide accurate contact information.

  • A parent or guardian is responsible for helping the student attend lessons on time.

  • A parent or guardian should ensure the student has a safe and suitable online lesson environment.

13. Online lesson safety

Online lessons are conducted for educational purposes.

Parents or guardians should remain nearby or available during lessons for younger students.

Students should not share private information during lessons beyond what is reasonably needed for learning.

We may use secure lesson links, booking systems, and online tools, but families are responsible for their own internet safety, device settings, and home supervision.

14. Refunds

Refund requests are handled in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.

Under Australian Consumer Law, services must be provided with due care and skill, be fit for purpose, and be supplied within a reasonable time where no time is agreed. The ACCC explains that consumers may be entitled to a repair, replacement, refund, cancellation or compensation where consumer guarantees are not met.

We do not usually provide refunds for:

  • Change of mind

  • Failure to attend booked lessons

  • Lack of practice between lessons

  • Internet or device issues on the student’s side

  • Unused lessons after a package expiry date

  • A student deciding they no longer want to continue after lessons have been delivered

However, this does not limit your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

15. Promotions and special offers

From time to time, we may offer promotions, discounts, bonuses or limited-time offers.

Promotions may have specific conditions, including expiry dates, eligibility requirements, or limited availability.

We may change or withdraw promotions at any time, unless you have already purchased under that offer.

16. Learning outcomes

We aim to provide structured, supportive and practical guitar coaching.

However, results vary depending on the student’s age, experience, practice habits, attendance, motivation, and individual learning needs.

We do not guarantee that a student will reach a specific level, learn a specific song, or achieve a particular result within a fixed timeframe.

All website content, lesson materials, videos, worksheets, downloadable resources, images, branding and written content remain the property of Benn Allen Guitar Coach or the relevant content owner.
