5. Programs, Registration, and Enrollment

Program Information

Program descriptions, schedules, pricing, and availability on the Sites are provided for informational purposes and are subject to change. Enrollment in any AMCS program is governed by the applicable program registration agreement, release forms, and any other agreements you sign at the time of enrollment. Those program-specific documents control in the event of any conflict with these Terms.

Cancellation and Refund Policies

Cancellation, refund, and withdrawal terms for programs are set out in the Registration Agreement provided at the time of enrollment. Please review those documents carefully before registering. We do not issue refunds for program fees based solely on content posted on the Sites. The Program Registration Agreement, provided at enrollment, sets out the full withdrawal and refund schedule, including timeframe-based refund tiers for student withdrawals and AMCS's obligation to provide full refunds if AMCS cancels a program before it begins.

Scholarship Program

Information about the AMCS Scholarship Program on the Sites is provided for informational purposes. Scholarship awards are made at AMCS's sole discretion pursuant to the AMCS Scholarship and Barter Agreement. Posting scholarship information on the Sites does not create an obligation to award a scholarship to any applicant.

All sales are final. Refunds are not available except in the event that a performance is cancelled by AMCS with no rescheduled date offered.
Ticket transfer. Tickets may be transferred to another person at your discretion. Resale of tickets above face value is not permitted.
Venue rules. Ticket holders agree to comply with all applicable venue rules, including any policies on recording, photography, and conduct.
Recording prohibition. Audience members may not record, photograph, or livestream any AMCS or Aggregate Theatre Company performance without prior written consent from AMCS. This prohibition protects the rights of performers, the rights of copyright holders of licensed works, and the privacy of minor performers. Any unauthorized recording may be deleted and the ticket holder may be asked to leave the venue without refund.
Production cancellation. AMCS reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or modify any production due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including weather, venue availability, illness, or force majeure. In the event of cancellation, ticket holders will receive a refund or credit at AMCS's election.

7. Donations

Donations made through the Fractured Atlas fundraising page linked from our Sites are made to Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, for the benefit of the AMCS Scholarship Program. Fractured Atlas's terms and policies govern those transactions. Donations are not refundable except as required by applicable law.

We will not share your submission materials with third parties for their own purposes without your consent; and

Nothing in this Section limits your rights under applicable consumer protection laws.

14. Entire Agreement; Severability

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and The Alli Mae Carnes Studio LLC regarding your use of the Sites and supersede any prior agreements or understandings on that subject. Program-specific agreements (such as registration agreements and release forms) govern your participation in individual programs and are separate from these Terms.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it in the future.
