Promotional Materials/Statements:
The School continually strives to ensure the accuracy of all written materials, including, but not limited to, promotional information, catalogs, brochures, handbooks, and advertising. In an effort to do so, however, information included in the materials (including class sizes, student-to-teacher ratios, School accreditation, teacher qualification, specialization, and length of service, etc.) may change as programs grow and as staff changes. Prior to relying on any written materials in making your decision to enroll Student in the School, please verify the accuracy of information with the Admissions Office. Please also understand that even if the information was accurate at the time that you enrolled the Student, the information may change prior to commencement of classes or during attendance at the School.

Governing Law/Waiver of Jury Trial:
This Contract and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to principles of conflicts of law. The parties agree to waive the right to jury trial over any claims pertaining to Student’s enrollment, attendance, or separation from the School including, but not limited to, claims of breach of contract, under statute, ordinance, or common law.
Reimbursement for Domestic Legal Issues:
Parent understands and agrees that the School’s primary purpose is to provide educational opportunities to the students within its institution. Parent also understands that it is disruptive to the School for a Parent to involve the School (or any of its employees) in domestic legal disputes between the Parents and that the School often must pay for legal fees and costs associated with such issues. Therefore, the Parent agrees to promptly reimburse the School for all expenditures incurred by the School as a result of Parent’s domestic legal disputes, including, but not limited to: Parental disagreements about Student’s education or placement; divorce proceedings; custody proceedings; and/or modifications of custody proceedings. Cost incurred may involve reasonable attorneys’ fees/costs to prepare for and/or attend depositions, trials, or hearings; communication with Parent or Parent’s counsel, guardian’s ad litem or attorney’s ad litem; respond to subpoenas; draft letters or motions; and perform research. Costs include the cost of copying documents, providing records, engaging substitute teachers or temporary employees, computerized research, and travel expense. Parent agrees to reimburse the School for such fees/costs within thirty (30) days of School billing Parent for such expenses. Any dispute between the Parents regarding which Parent may owe which portion of the bill should be resolved between the Parents so that the bills for reimbursement to the School can be paid on a timely basis. Parent’s failure to pay such fees/costs promptly will result of dismissal of the family from the School.
Parent’s Commitment to Truthfulness in the Admissions and Enrollment Process:
The School is relying on the completeness and truthfulness of the information provided by the Parent in the admissions and enrollment process. If the School finds out after the Student has been admitted and enrolled that the Parent was not truthful in the admissions and enrollment process on any issue that the School, in its sole discretion, finds to be important, the School has the absolute right to terminate this Contract. There will be no refund of tuition where such termination occurs and any unpaid balance is payable in full according to the terms of this Contract.
Authority:
Each party represents and warrants to the other (1) that it has full power to enter into and perform its obligations under this Contract; and (2) that this Contract constitutes its legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Parents in two-parent households agree that each is acting as agent for the other. Modification of this agency relationship shall be in writing and delivered to the School. No oral modifications will be recognized or accepted.
Entire Agreement: This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral understandings between the parties. There have been no representations or warranties made by any party other than the representations and warranties contained herein.
