Class Terms & Conditions

FOR ONLINE CLASSES

REGISTERING FOR A CLASS
All class registrations must be made via our online registration system. Space in Smaart training classes is often limited and will be allocated on a “first-come, first-served” basis. We recommend registering early to guarantee a spot in the class. If you, or your organization, cannot register online please contact training@rationalacoustics.com to arrange an alternate registration/payment method.

PAYING FOR A CLASS
Payment is due in-full at the time of registration. Payment may be made via any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express). If you, or your organization, cannot pay via credit card, please contact training@rationalacoustics.com to arrange an alternate registration/payment method.

SMAART SOFTWARE LICENSES FOR CLASS ATTENDEES
For online classes taught by Rational Acoustics, attendees are entitled to a 15% discount on a license of Smaart software (either new or upgrade).

For in-person classes taught by Rational Acoustics, attendees are entitled to a 30% discount on Smaart licenses.

Discounted licenses of Smaart can be purchased together with the class at the time of registration. Licenses will be emailed within 48-hours of receipt of payment, to the email address entered on your registration form.

If you prefer to purchase a license after the class, attendees will receive a coupon code via email at the end of class for use in the Rational Acoustics online store to purchase a discounted license. Please note: class coupons are valid for 90 days after the class end-date.

For online classes conducted by  Authorized Smaart Instructors other than Rational Acoustics, please check with the instructor or class organizer directly for details about class license discounts.

CONFIRMATION
You will receive an enrollment and payment acknowledgment via email within 24 hours of enrolling in a class.

WAITING LIST
If a class is full, you have the option to join the wait-list for the class. If space opens up in the class, spaces will be offered via e-mail to those on the wait-list in the order that they signed up. Once offered a spot in the class, those contacted will have 48 hours to accept the spot and submit payment or else we will move on to the next name on the wait-list.

CLASS TRANSFER
If after registering, you discover you are unable to attend a class, you can transfer your registration to another class on an alternate date provided there is availability in the requested class.
