& Regulations Agreement

Effective Date: May 21, 2026

Company: Music Factory Fine Arts Training Co. LLC

1. GENERAL RULES

All students must arrive on time to their lessons.

  • If a student is late, they will receive only the remaining time of the lesson. No extra time will be added.

  • Students must respect the package validity period. If the student is taking 1 lesson of 30 minutes per week the original validity period of the package will be respected. If the student is taking more than 1 lesson of 30 minutes per week the validity will be adjusted accordingly because the student will have his time fixed on the school’s schedule so no one will be able to book his lessons during that time. A postponed session must be made up within the same week or the following week. Otherwise, it is considered given.

  • For all classes (especially Marc Hatem’s students), a minimum of 48 hours' notice is required. If a session is missed or canceled with late notice, and the teacher's schedule is full, rescheduling may not be possible.

  • If canceled on the same day, the session is considered given and no make-up lesson will be offered.

  • In the event of an unexpected emergency, the student must reschedule the class within the same or the following week, or else the session is considered given.

Lebanon Vacation Package Freeze Policy

  • Students of Music Factory Dubai who travel to Lebanon for vacation are exceptionally allowed to freeze their Dubai package during their travel period under the following conditions:

    1. The student must directly subscribe to lesson packages with Music Factory Lebanon immediately upon arriving in Lebanon.

    2. The student must continue lessons consistently in Lebanon during the vacation period.

    3. Upon returning to Dubai, the student must immediately resume their Music Factory Dubai lessons without taking additional weeks off.

    4. This freeze exception applies only to students traveling to Lebanon and only when continuity of lessons is maintained between both branches.

    Music Factory reserves the right to deny or cancel the freeze exception if there is a gap in lesson continuity between the Dubai and Lebanon branches.

2. PROFESSIONAL RECORDINGS & SHOOTINGS

All recordings and shootings are free of charge but can only take place if:

  • The student is ready to perform.

  • It coincides with their scheduled recording date.

If the student is not ready by the scheduled date, the recording will stay available until the student is ready to do it so it will never be lost but it has to be done during an active package.

  • Free recordings must be posted to the student’s official active Instagram page if they are over 13 years old or parents' official active Instagram page if under the age of 13 (min. 300 followers) within 1 week after the delivery of the video, tagging @musicfactory.me in the video and the caption.

  • The Music Video must stay for at least 2 weeks on the instagram page.

  • If not posted in time, the student must pay according to the official price list.

  • Recordings cannot be done earlier than scheduled without payment.

  • If the student pays and later decides to post, no refunds are issued.

  • Recording/Shooting Schedule by Package Duration:

    • 4 Lessons:

      No recordings or shootings are included.

    • 13 Lessons:

      • 1st recording/shooting: at the 7th lesson

      • 2nd recording/shooting: at the 12th lesson

    • 16 Lessons (Combo Package):

      ▪ 1st: At the 7th lesson (1st Subject)
      ▪ 2nd: At the 7th lesson (2nd Subject)

    • 30 Lessons:

      • 1st recording/shooting: at the 4th lesson

      • 2nd recording/shooting: at the 9th lesson

      • 3rd recording/shooting: at the 14th lesson

      • 4th recording/shooting: at the 19th lesson

      • 5th recording/shooting: at the 24th lesson

      • 6th recording/shooting: at the 29th lesson

N:B: The lesson in this case is considered a 30 minute one. If you’re taking 1 hour classes the calculation will still be the same but taking into consideration that the 1 hour class is 2 lessons.

  • If the student pays for a shoot but later decides to post it on social media, no refunds will be given.

  • Usually the shooting is done either in the same week or the week after the recording has been done.

  • It is very common not to be able to do all the recordings and shootings included in your packages when you're starting out.
