• If a student is subject to dismissal from the course for any reason, Showfit and/or Centrestage Group pty. ltd. is not held liable for refunds prior to or extending past the period in which the dismissal has occurred. 

• If a student chooses to withdraw from the course for any reason, the student remains liable for all remaining annual fee instalment payments. No refunds will be issued.
