The Terms and Conditions stated here govern all SBBI classes. You should carefully review the following Agreement. We provide classes to you only on the condition that you accept all of the Terms and Conditions stated in this Agreement. Registering for and/or attending our classes indicates your agreement to be bound to the Terms and Conditions posted here. This Agreement will take effect at the moment you submit your registration ("Registration") electronically and/or in hardcopy form, and/or begin attending SBBI classes, whichever is earliest. If you do not agree with this Agreement, you are not granted permission to access or otherwise use our Service. This Agreement may be governed by the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act).

All references herein to "We" mean South Bay Beat Institute, including its successors and assigns.. All references herein to "Student" or "You" refer to any participant in our classes and residencies. Parents/Legal guardians accept the Terms and Conditions on behalf of their children.

• All classes are led by qualified teachers in their field of expertise. Most staff have valid fingerprint clearance; those who have yet to obtain such clearance and who teach children will co-teach with an instructor who has this clearance.
• Registration for classes happens through our website and class fees are paid when the class begins. Once paid, class fees are non-refundable. They can be transferred to a future SBBI class. 
• All equipment is provided. Students are also welcome to purchase/bring their equipment (bachi, sticks, narimono, etc) to class.
• Payment can be paid by check or cash only.
• A class that is missed by the student, for whatever reason, cannot be made up.
• If the teacher is unable to teach the scheduled class, then the class will be taught by a replacement instructor or that class will be made up.

These terms and conditions are subject to change without notice from time to time, at our sole discretion. We will notify you of amendments to these term and conditions by posting them to this page.

• South Bay Beat Institute accepts no liability or responsibility for any injury sustained by the student that arises from participation in any activity connected with SBBI. SBBI also accepts no liability or responsibility for any minors, siblings, friends or relatives of the students who attend and/or wait at SBBI class locations for the students who are participating in classes.
• SBBI accepts no liability or responsibility for any damages caused by any students, minors, siblings, friends or relatives of the students at any location where SBBI holds classes.
