TERMS OF USE

This SLDP Student Terms of Use (“Agreement”) is a binding agreement between you (“you” or “Student”) and Salt Lake DJ & Production, a Utah-based entity with its principal place of business at 430 E South Temple Ste. C, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, including its officers, instructors, coordinators, staff, and affiliates (“SLDP”).

SLDP provides instruction in music production and DJing for purposes of personal development and the advancement of a general professional skill. SLDP does not grant any degree, diploma, certificate commensurate with a diploma, or other educational credential. SLDP’s instruction is not independently sufficient to prepare any Student for specific employment. SLDP provides no career services of any kind, including no job placement, employer referrals, hiring assistance, booking services, or career counseling. SLDP makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding the Student’s employability, income, career prospects, artistic achievement, or any commercial outcome following enrollment. Any references to alumni who have achieved commercial or artistic success are factual reports of independent post-SLDP outcomes achieved by those individuals through their own efforts and are not promises that the Student will achieve similar results. The Student acknowledges that any post-enrollment commercial or professional pursuits are entirely the Student’s own responsibility.

By registering, scheduling, attending, or submitting payment for any SLDP course, session, workshop, or program, you affirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms outlined in this Agreement and the policies found in the SLDP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section on our website. You further agree to be legally bound by these terms for the duration of your enrollment, regardless of attendance or completion status.

If you are under 18 years old, written permission from a parent or legal guardian is required prior to attending any SLDP session.

This Agreement supersedes any conflicting language or representations made in email, phone call, marketing material, verbal conversation, or third-party documents. Any modifications must be agreed upon in writing and signed by both you and SLDP.

Important Notice on Refunds and Financial Commitment:

By making any monetary payment (whether by cash, check, card, bank transfer, or electronic method) you explicitly acknowledge and accept that all payments to SLDP become non-refundable after fourteen (14) calendar days from the Student’s Start of Class, as defined in the Cancellations and Refunds section of these Terms. This includes both full course payments and the first installment of any monthly payment plan. After this 14-day period, no refunds will be issued under any circumstances, and withdrawal does not release you from your financial obligation to complete any agreed-upon payment schedule.

If you have any questions or concerns about these Terms of Use, please contact SLDP at info@sldp.com or by phone at (801) 410-0295 before registering or making any payments.

By using our site, you consent to the SLDP Privacy Policy. By attending sessions at SLDP or with an SLDP instructor, you agree to and agree to abide by all SLDP terms of use indicated herein. By paying in advance for any SLDP course, you agree to and agree to abide by all SLDP terms of use indicated herein. By attending any course at SLDP, student understands that SLDP has a zero-tolerance policy for disorderly conduct, sexual harassment (see below), fighting, and any form of abuse between students and instructors, and between students and other SLDP students. Any violation of this zero-tolerance policy is grounds for immediate discontinuation from SLDP and all of it’s courses, without any refund.

By enrolling in SLDP, students consent to receive transactional emails, course updates, scheduling notices, and promotional messages via email or text. Students may unsubscribe from marketing messages, but must receive service-critical communications.

SLDP is committed to providing high-quality education and expects the same level of commitment from its students. As a condition of continued enrollment, you agree to actively participate in your program and demonstrate measurable progress throughout the duration of your course.

Requirements. You are expected to:

1. Complete all assigned homework, projects, and coursework by the deadlines established by your instructor;

2. Actively apply the techniques, concepts, and material taught during sessions to your own practice outside of class; and

3. Provide tangible evidence of your work and progress, which may include but is not limited to: video recordings, audio recordings, written notes, project files, stems, mixes, session screenshots, performance recordings, or any other documentation that demonstrates you have been actively engaging with the material.

Submission of Evidence. SLDP may require you to submit evidence of your progress at regular intervals as determined by your instructor or program coordinator. Failure to provide such evidence when requested shall be treated as a failure to meet the participation requirements of this section.

Consequences of Non-Compliance. If you fail to meet the participation and progress requirements outlined above, the following will apply:

• First Offense: SLDP, at its sole discretion, may issue a formal written warning. This warning will specify the deficiency and provide a reasonable deadline by which you must demonstrate compliance. A first offense warning is not guaranteed and is granted solely at SLDP’s discretion.

• Subsequent Offenses or Continued Non-Compliance: Any further failure to meet participation and progress requirements, whether following a prior warning or as an independent occurrence, shall constitute grounds for immediate expulsion from SLDP without the possibility of refund, credit, or re-enrollment.

No Refund Upon Expulsion. If you are expelled under this section, all payments made to SLDP are forfeited in their entirety. You will not be entitled to any refund, partial refund, credit, or transfer of funds, regardless of the amount paid or the number of sessions remaining. Any outstanding balance on a payment plan shall remain due and payable in full.

No Re-Enrollment. Students expelled under this section are permanently barred from re-enrolling in any SLDP course, session, workshop, or program unless SLDP, at its sole discretion, grants written permission to the contrary.

Acknowledgment. By enrolling in any SLDP program, you acknowledge that attendance alone does not constitute participation and that SLDP reserves the right to evaluate your engagement and progress at any time during your enrollment.

All deposits, reservation fees, and seat-holding payments made to SLDP are non-refundable in their entirety from the moment of payment, except that initial consultations are free of charge and, if the student decides not to continue with SLDP, the entire consultation deposit (if any) will be refunded in cash to the student at the close of the consultation. If the student wishes to continue, the initial deposit will be applied to the student’s next scheduled session. SLDP Coordinators and/or SLDP Instructors may choose to remind students of scheduled sessions, but students are ultimately responsible for their own attendance and punctuality. If a student arrives late, it is up to the discretion of the instructor whether or not to add the time missed to the end of his or her scheduled time. If another SLDP student is scheduled to arrive, the Instructors are required to end the session on the hour. If a student misses a session or multiple scheduled sessions, or is unresponsive to SLDP contact, it is up to the discretion of the SLDP Coordinators and Instructors whether the student continues, or is rendered ineligible to participate in SLDP courses.

In certain situations and at the discretion of SLDP, SLDP coordinators and instructors, a student’s weekly scheduled session may be changed to another day and/or time of day. If allowed or if another time slot is available, students are allowed to change their session day/time no more than a one (1) time. If a student is unable to continue attending a certain day/time and has no possibility of changing their session because of work, relocation or any other circumstance, the student will not be able to continue at SLDP until they are able to attend the session in which they are currently enrolled. During this period of inactivity, students will not lose or forfeit any sessions that have been prepaid.

In cases where tuition or fees for a student are paid by a third party (such as a parent, guardian, or external sponsor), it is understood that the student remains primarily responsible for adhering to all policies and obligations outlined in SLDP’s Terms of Use. Should a student leave Salt Lake City, change to a work / school schedule that does not allow them to continue at SLDP, be subject to permanent suspension due to policy violations, or otherwise become unable to continue attending class, the student is obligated to repay the third party for any payments made on their behalf. No refunds will be offered outside of the conditions set forth in the Cancellations and Refunds section of these Terms. This repayment responsibility is binding regardless of the student’s enrollment status or the circumstances leading to the suspension. SLDP is not responsible for mediating disputes between students and third-party payers concerning such repayments.

Monthly payments are made no later than 11:59 PM MST on the 1st of every month, without exception. Any payments made after this date and time are subject to a $25 late fee, if paid by the 3rd of the Month. After the 3rd of the month, the late fee rises to $50. If full monthly payment, plus any late fee, is not paid before the next scheduled session, your weekly session may be postponed. During a period when the student is not current on payments, he or she will not be allowed to schedule studio use outside of scheduled class time. If a student finds him or herself in a position where they are not able to make their contracted monthly payment, SLDP reserves the right to pursue legal action to ensure full payment. Additionally, an unpaid balance may be transferred to a 3rd party collection agency, and reported to all major credit bureaus. A payment plan forbearance may be an option and would be applied at the discretion of SLDP. In addition to the late fee of $50, a forbearance fee of $50 per month will be added to the total amount owed, bringing the total cost of forbearance per month to $100. After a payment is 30 or more days late, and the student has not responded to requests for payment, forbearance offer or communicated an alternative payment plan, the time slot that they occupy will become available to another student and the total remaining balance will be due immediately. Students that discontinue making their monthly payments will receive an invoice for the total remaining balance, which is equal to the cost of the full course minus the total of all payments previously made, plus any cancellation fees and/or late fees. The total amount of this invoice is due within 30 days of receipt. If a student fails to pay this invoice within 30 days, all of the following may occur: reporting of delinquent account to all major credit bureaus, transfer of account to a 3rd party collection agency and legal action to recover delinquent balance. As a student, you will also be responsible for any attorney fees, collection agency fees, filing fees or other costs related to the collection of a balance you owe.

The advertised price of each course applies only when the full amount is paid before the course begins. For students that are unable to make payment in full before the start date of a course, we offer monthly payment plans. It is required that a student submit a Payment Plan Application to confirm his or her ability to make payments on time and in full (SLDP.com/ppa). The total cost of the payment plan will depend on the length (in months) of the selected plan. Payment plans are available as follows:

• (2 Month) 2 Payments of $1,800 (total of $3,600)

• (3 Month) 3 Payments of $1,234 (total of $3,702)

• (4 Month) 4 Payments of $950 (total of $3,800)

• (5 Month) 5 Payments of $780 (total of $3,900)

• (6 Month) 6 Payments of $667 (total of $4,002)

If a student does not qualify for the previous payment plan option, he or she may qualify for the following plan, starting with a payment of 50% of the total cost:

• (3 Month) 1st Payment of $1,750, followed by 2 Payments of $975 (total of $3,700)

• (4 Month) 1st Payment of $1,750, followed by 3 Payments of $684 (total of $3,802)

• (5 Month) 1st Payment of $1,750, followed by 4 Payments of $538 (total of $3,902)

• (6 Month) 1st Payment of $1,750, followed by 5 Payments of $450 (total of $4,000)

All payment plan applications may be subject to credit check, income verification and may require an additional down payment paid before the start of class. Not all students will qualify for a payment plan.

Upon choosing to pay in monthly installments and submitting first months payment to SLDP, the student is entering into a legally binding agreement to pay the entire cost of chosen program(s) in monthly payments. Payments are due by midnight on the 1st of each month. A late fee of $25 is assessed if payment is made on the 2nd or 3rd of the month. After the third of the month, an additional late fee of $25 is added, for a total of $50 in late fees. After a payment is 30 or more days late, and the student has not responded to requests for payment or communicated an alternative payment plan, the time slot that they occupy will become available to another student and the total remaining balance will be due immediately. Students that discontinue making their monthly payments will receive an invoice for the total remaining balance, which is equal to the cost of the full course minus the total of all payments previously made, plus any cancellation fees. The total amount of this invoice is due within 30 days of receipt. If a student fails to pay this invoice within 30 days, SLDP reserves the right to pursue legal action and any/all remedies to recover the remaining balance of the full payment plan or balance owed, plus any cancellation fees, late fees, and interest. As a student, you will also be responsible for any attorney fees, collection agency fees, filing fees or other costs related to the collection of a balance you owe. All refund requests are governed exclusively by the Cancellations and Refunds section of these Terms. For students that do not wish to make a long term commitment, we suggest taking individual sessions at the rate of $250/hr.

Unpaid balances will accrue interest at a rate of 5%, calculated monthly. SLDP reserves the right to pursue legal action and any/all remedies to recover the remaining balance of the full payment plan or balance owed, plus any cancellation fees, late fees and interest. As a student, you will also be responsible for any attorney fees, collection agency fees, filing fees or other costs related to the collection of a balance you owe.

Student may choose to bring his or her own equipment, but it’s 100% acceptable for the student to learn and practice on the equipment provided by SLDP. If student chooses to bring his or her own equipment, the student is liable for any use, damage, or loss of the equipment while in the presence of an SLDP instructor or in an SLDP facility. SLDP instructors are trained in computers, software and many hardware controllers/DJ hardware, and will always ask for your permission before using or modifying your equipment. If you are not comfortable with these terms, please use the equipment provided by SLDP.

Use of Personal Equipment and File Liability

Students are responsible for backing up their own work and data. SLDP is not liable for loss of files due to power outages, equipment failure, software crashes, or student error. SLDP instructors may assist with student-owned hardware or software at their discretion, but SLDP assumes no responsibility for damage, compatibility issues, or resulting data loss.

All enrollments in full SLDP programs are governed by the Cancellations and Refunds section of these Terms. The following provisions are restated here for clarity and apply specifically to full-program enrollments, including those paid in full and those paid via monthly payment plan.

A refund of full-program tuition may be issued only if all three of the following conditions are satisfied. If any one condition fails, no refund of any kind shall be due:

(a) Within the 14-Day Window From Start of Class. All refund requests must be submitted in writing to info@sldp.com on or before the fourteenth (14th) calendar day following the Student’s Start of Class, as defined in the Cancellations and Refunds section.

(b) Before Any Instruction Has Occurred. No refund shall be issued once the Student has participated in any form of SLDP instruction, regardless of whether the 14-day window remains open.

(c) Standard Tuition Only. No refund shall be issued for any program enrolled under a promotional offer, discount, scholarship, sale, bundle, or any tuition rate below SLDP’s then-current standard advertised tuition. Such enrollments are non-refundable from the moment payment is submitted.

Upon submission of the first installment of any monthly payment plan, the Student is entering into a legally binding agreement to pay the entire cost of the chosen program in scheduled monthly payments. The first installment of a payment plan is treated identically to a full-program payment for purposes of this policy. If a Student on a payment plan ceases making payments without a valid refund granted under this policy, the full remaining balance of the program tuition shall become immediately due and payable, and SLDP may pursue collection, including referral to a third-party collection agency, reporting to credit bureaus, and legal action.

A non-refundable administrative processing fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00 USD) shall be deducted from any refund issued under this policy. All deposits, reservation fees, and seat-holding payments are non-refundable in their entirety and shall not be returned under any circumstances. The amount of any refund issued shall equal: (tuition paid) minus (the $100.00 processing fee) minus (any deposits or reservation fees).

The Student acknowledges that full-program tuition is paid for the entire program as a whole and not on a per-session basis. The Student is not entitled to any refund, partial refund, credit, or rebate based on unused, missed, forfeited, or unattended sessions remaining in the program.

If, due to a documented emergency, a Student is unable to begin their full program on the originally scheduled Start of Class date, SLDP may, in its sole discretion, permit the Student to reschedule the Start of Class one (1) time only. This courtesy is granted at SLDP’s sole discretion, may be granted only once per Student per program, and does not entitle the Student to any refund.

Upon expiration of the 14-day window, or upon the first occurrence of instruction, or upon submission of payment for a promotional or discounted full-program enrollment, whichever occurs first, all tuition, fees, deposits, and other payments made by the Student to SLDP become permanently and irrevocably non-refundable. No refund, partial refund, credit, transfer, or other concession shall be granted thereafter, regardless of the Student’s attendance, completion, reason for withdrawal, or any other circumstance, and regardless of any verbal representation made by any SLDP employee, instructor, or coordinator inconsistent with this section.

SLDP is willing to place students in a one-on-one learning environment when those time slots are available, but the majority of our students are placed in small groups of no more than six students. The common phrase applies to Music Production and DJing: Two heads are better than one. Students in our small group sessions consistently learn and progress faster than our one-on-one sessions. Group sessions also provide an opportunity for students to connect with other people in the area with similar interests and goals with music. SLDP does not guarantee a one-on-one learning setting for any student or any time slot. Students of similar skill level and experience can be moved into any given time slot at any point during a course. Please contact us if you require starting into a guaranteed one-on-one session.

By making any payment to Salt Lake DJ & Production, LLC (“SLDP”), the Student expressly acknowledges and agrees to all of the following conditions. These conditions are cumulative and operate independently. Failure of any single condition is sufficient grounds to deny a refund request in full.

1. The Three Governing Conditions

A refund may be issued only if all three of the following conditions are satisfied. If any one of these conditions fails, no refund of any kind shall be due.

(a) 14-Day Window From Start of Class. All refund requests must be submitted in writing to info@sldp.com on or before the fourteenth (14th) calendar day following the Student’s Start of Class, as defined below. After this window closes, all payments are final and non-refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(b) No Instruction Has Occurred. No refund shall be issued once the Student has participated in any form of SLDP instruction, as defined below, regardless of whether the 14-day window remains open.

(c) Enrollment Is Not Promotional or Discounted. No refund shall be issued for any enrollment made under a promotional offer, discount, scholarship, sale, bundle, or any tuition rate below SLDP’s then-current standard advertised tuition. Such enrollments are non-refundable from the moment payment is submitted, and the 14-day window does not apply.

2. Definition of “Start of Class”

“Start of Class” means the earliest of the following events to occur, whichever is first:

(a) the Student’s first scheduled or attended instructional session with any SLDP instructor or coordinator, whether held in an SLDP studio, at any off-site location, or remotely via video, audio, telephone, or any other electronic medium;

(b) the Student’s first orientation, onboarding session, intake meeting, or program kickoff with SLDP, whether held in-person or remotely;

(c) the Student’s first receipt of curriculum, course materials, lesson plans, learning resources, or assigned coursework from SLDP; or

(d) any other event in which SLDP, an SLDP instructor, or an SLDP coordinator begins providing instruction, guidance, mentorship, or educational services to the Student in any form or at any location.

The 14-day refund window begins on the date Start of Class occurs and expires at 11:59 PM Mountain Time on the fourteenth (14th) calendar day thereafter. The Student bears the sole responsibility for tracking the Start of Class date and for submitting any refund request within the window.

3. Processing Fee and Deposits

(a) A non-refundable administrative processing fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00 USD) shall be deducted from any refund issued under this policy.

(b) All deposits, reservation fees, and seat-holding payments are non-refundable in their entirety and shall not be returned under any circumstances.

(c) The amount of any refund issued shall equal: (tuition paid) minus (the $100.00 processing fee) minus (any deposits or reservation fees).

(d) Refund requests must be submitted in writing to info@sldp.com. Verbal requests, text messages, social media messages, voicemails, and requests made to instructors or coordinators do not constitute a valid refund request and shall not be honored.

4. No Refunds After Instruction Begins

Once the Student has participated in any form of SLDP instruction, all tuition, fees, deposits, and other payments become permanently and irrevocably non-refundable, regardless of whether the 14-day window remains open.

For purposes of this policy, “participation in instruction” includes, without limitation:

(a) attending any session, class, workshop, lesson, or consultation with an SLDP instructor or coordinator, in whole or in part, including arriving and then leaving early;

(b) participating in any remote, online, video, telephone, or electronic session with an SLDP instructor or coordinator;

(c) receiving, downloading, accessing, viewing, or opening any SLDP curriculum, course materials, lesson plans, recorded content, exercises, project files, or other instructional resources;

(d) submitting any assignment, project, recording, mix, or other deliverable to SLDP;

(e) receiving any individualized instruction, feedback, mentorship, critique, or guidance from an SLDP instructor or coordinator, in any format and at any location; or

(f) attending any orientation, onboarding session, intake meeting, or program kickoff conducted by SLDP.

The Student acknowledges that SLDP tuition is paid for the entire program as a whole and not on a per-session basis. The Student is not entitled to any refund, partial refund, credit, or rebate based on unused, missed, forfeited, or unattended sessions remaining in the program.

5. Promotional and Discounted Enrollments

Any enrollment made under any of the following circumstances is non-refundable and non-cancellable from the moment payment is submitted, and the 14-day window described in Section 1(a) shall not apply:

(a) any promotional offer, including but not limited to seasonal sales, flash sales, holiday pricing, anniversary specials, or limited-time discounts;

(b) any discount code, coupon, voucher, gift card, or similar instrument applied to tuition;

(c) any scholarship, grant, bursary, or financial aid award reducing the standard tuition;

(d) any bundled enrollment, multi-course package, or group enrollment offered at a combined price below the sum of individual standard tuitions;

(e) any enrollment at a tuition rate below SLDP’s then-current standard advertised tuition for the relevant program, for any reason; or

(f) any enrollment under a payment plan in which the total of all scheduled payments is below SLDP’s then-current standard advertised tuition.

By submitting payment for a promotional or discounted enrollment, the Student expressly waives any right to a refund. The Student acknowledges that the reduced price is offered specifically in consideration of this waiver and that, but for this waiver, SLDP would not have offered the reduced price.

6. Reschedule of Start of Class

If, due to a documented emergency, a Student is unable to begin their program on the originally scheduled Start of Class date, SLDP may, in its sole discretion, permit the Student to reschedule the Start of Class one (1) time only. This courtesy is granted at SLDP’s sole discretion, may be granted only once per Student per program, and does not entitle the Student to any refund.

7. Weekly Session Cancellations (Payment Plan Students)

This Section 7 governs cancellation of individual weekly sessions for Students enrolled in active monthly payment programs and does not create any right to a refund of tuition.

(a) A Student may request to cancel or reschedule an individual weekly session by providing written notice to SLDP no less than forty-eight (48) hours before the scheduled session start time.

(b) Cancellations or reschedule requests submitted within forty-eight (48) hours of the scheduled session, or failure to attend a session without prior notice, shall result in immediate forfeiture of that session.

(c) A mutually agreed reschedule between the Student and SLDP, documented in writing, shall not result in forfeiture.

(d) A makeup fee of fifty dollars ($50.00 USD) per session applies to any session SLDP, in its sole discretion, agrees to reschedule for a Student who has forfeited under subsection (b). SLDP may waive this fee at its sole discretion.

8. SLDP-Initiated Cancellations

SLDP reserves the right to cancel any session, class, or program at any time and for any reason. In the event of an SLDP-initiated cancellation, the Student shall not be penalized and shall be offered a rescheduled session at no additional charge. No refund shall be due unless SLDP is unable, after reasonable good-faith efforts, to provide substantially equivalent rescheduled instruction.

SLDP shall not be liable for any delay, suspension, modification, or failure of service caused by events outside its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, power failure, internet outage, public health emergencies, pandemics, government orders, civil unrest, labor disputes, or third-party service failures.

9. Third-Party Payers

If tuition or fees are paid on behalf of the Student by a third party, including but not limited to a parent, guardian, employer, sponsor, or financing entity:

(a) the Student remains primarily and personally responsible for compliance with all SLDP policies and for completion of all financial obligations;

(b) the Student is independently obligated to reimburse the third party for any amounts paid on the Student’s behalf in the event the Student withdraws, relocates, becomes unable to attend, is dismissed for policy violations, or otherwise ceases participation;

(c) SLDP shall have no obligation to mediate or resolve any dispute between the Student and the third-party payer; and

(d) no refund shall be issued to either the Student or the third-party payer outside the conditions set forth in this policy.

All sessions, programs and payment plans are scheduled and committed to a month in advance. Students that have purchased sessions or courses up front have the opportunity to renew at any time (discounts may be available for early renewal, ask your SLDP coordinator for details) but must renew no later than one month before they are scheduled to attend their last session. If a student has not renewed before their last month of sessions, their session time will not be guaranteed and will be available to be scheduled by another student.

SLDP, it’s coordinators and instructors reserve the right to cancel any session, at any time, for any reason. In the event of an SLDP cancellation, students will be notified at least 48 hours in advance, and will be able to make up the canceled session(s). In most cases, the session will be canceled and a student’s remaining number of sessions will remain unchanged. If a student wishes to cancel a session and still attend that session at a later date, SLDP must be notified no later than 48 hours before the start of the session. Any session that goes unattended or is canceled anytime after the 48-hour mark will be forfeited, no exceptions. There is a $50 charge per session to makeup any no-show or forfeited session. Depending on the situation and the reason for the missed class, SLDP may waive this charge at it’s discretion.

SLDP is not liable for any delay or failure to deliver services due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, power failures, health emergencies, pandemics, or government actions. In such cases, SLDP will make good-faith efforts to reschedule or substitute online instruction but is not required to provide refunds.

SLDP and its affiliates reserve the right to film, photograph, and record audio during all sessions, workshops, meetups, and events held at the school or conducted under the SLDP brand.

All such media, including photos, videos, and audio recordings, may be archived, edited, produced, and published by SLDP at its sole discretion. SLDP retains full ownership and usage rights over all such recordings and may use them for any lawful purpose, including but not limited to advertising, educational promotion, marketing campaigns, curriculum development, and cultural documentation.

By attending any SLDP course or session, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You may be photographed, filmed, or recorded

• You grant SLDP the unrestricted right to use your likeness, image, voice, name, and performance

• You waive any right to inspect or approve the final use of any media in which you appear

• You are not entitled to any royalty, compensation, or attribution related to the use of such recordings

• This release is granted in perpetuity and applies worldwide across all forms of media, now known or later developed

If you have specific concerns about participation in video or photo shoots, please contact SLDP prior to your session. Reasonable accommodations may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

All curriculum, training materials, recordings, documents, exercises, and other content provided by SLDP (whether delivered in person, online, in print, or by video/audio) are the exclusive property of SLDP. Students may not copy, reproduce, distribute, share, resell, teach from, or otherwise use these materials outside of their personal educational experience with SLDP. Any commercial or instructional use without express written permission is strictly prohibited.

To protect SLDP’s proprietary educational systems, intellectual property, and local community, students agree not to use the knowledge, tools, or materials provided by SLDP to create, market, or deliver competing educational services, coaching programs, or derivative curriculums for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the completion of their SLDP program. This includes offering paid instruction in DJing, music production, sound design, or any subject taught by SLDP, whether in-person, online, or via third-party platforms.

This restriction applies within the State of Utah and to any online course, mentorship, or coaching product that competes with SLDP in a substantial or material way. This clause does not restrict students from releasing music, performing as artists or DJs, or collaborating professionally. It applies only to the unauthorized commercial use of SLDP educational materials and methods. Exceptions may be granted in writing by SLDP in advance.

It is the policy of this organization that no member of the SLDP community (students, coordinators, instructors, or third parties) may sexually harass any other member of the community. Sexual harassment is any unwelcome conduct (verbal, nonverbal, written, or otherwise perpetrated) of a sexual nature, which includes, but is not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances; conduct that creates a hostile, intimidating or offensive learning or working environment; conduct that has the effect of unreasonably interfering with a student or instructor’s ability to carry out their duties; and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive to limit a student’s ability to learn and excel at SLDP, or an instructor’s ability to teach and help other SLDP students. While attending SLDP, students are strictly forbidden from entering into any intimate, sexual or otherwise inappropriate relationship with any instructor, coordinator or officer of SLDP, whether this relationship takes place inside or outside of the SLDP facilities. Violation of this policy is grounds for immediate dismissal from SLDP and all courses, without the possibility of a refund.

Examples of sexual harassment include, but are not limited to:

• Sexual assault towards a student or instructor

• Pressure for a dating, romantic, or intimate relationship with a student or instructor

• Touching, kissing, hugging, or massaging another student or instructor

• Pressure for or forced sexual activity on another student or instructor

• Unnecessary references to parts of the body while at the SLDP facility

• Unwelcome verbal or written discussion of sexual relationships, sex or sex acts

• Remarks about sex, sexual relationships or the sexual orientation of another student or instructor

• General or specific sexual innuendoes or humor

• Obscene gestures towards a student or instructor

• Sexually explicit profanity towards another student or instructor

• Stalking or cyber-bullying towards another student or instructor

• E-mail and Internet use that includes, but it not limited to, any of the previous examples

Along with providing a thorough education in Music Production and DJing, SLDP is committed to maintaining a safe and productive learning environment within it’s doors. If you feel that another student or instructor has violated this sexual harassment policy, please contact us immediately. We quickly report and act on any violation, big or small. For parents of young children, we understand your concern about leaving your child in a one-on-one situation with an instructor. Don’t hesitate to ask an instructor to sit in on any session.

SLDP does not engage in and prohibits discrimination against and harassment of any SLDP student or instructor because of race, color, national or ethnic origin, age, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, veteran status or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal or state law. All SLDP personnel are charged to support this effort and to respond promptly and appropriately to any concerns that are brought to their attention. SLDP maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding any actions between students and instructors, written or verbal, that violate this non-discrimination policy.

SLDP reserves the right to suspend or permanently dismiss any student whose behavior is disruptive, threatening, unsafe, or abusive to instructors, fellow students, or the SLDP facility. This includes, but is not limited to, excessive tardiness, repeated absence, disrespectful language, unauthorized recording, or violation of any studio safety rules. Dismissal for any of the above reasons does not release the student from financial responsibility for the remaining balance of their program.
