These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website, services, and programs of Lazar Center ("Lazar Center," "we," "our," or "us"). By accessing our website, registering a student, or otherwise engaging with our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
Lazar Center provides personalized academic tutoring and standardized test preparation services for K–12 students at our locations in Charlotte, NC; Tega Cay, SC; and Fort Mill, SC. Our services include but are not limited to one-on-one and small-group tutoring, SAT and ACT preparation programs, summer learning programs, and related academic support.
Our services are intended for K–12 students. A parent or legal guardian must register the student, agree to these Terms on the student's behalf, and provide all consents required for the student to participate in Lazar Center's programs.
By registering a student, you represent and warrant that (a) you are the parent or legal guardian of the student, (b) you are at least 18 years of age, and (c) you have the authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself and the student.
Enrollment is completed through our online registration forms or in person at one of our locations. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during enrollment and to keep that information up to date. You are responsible for the security of any login credentials you receive in connection with our services.
Tuition, registration fees, and other charges are due as specified at the time of enrollment. Payments are processed through our enrollment platform via Stripe. By registering, you authorize us to charge the payment method on file for fees you incur, including any recurring charges associated with your selected program.
Specific program fees include:
You are responsible for any taxes, fees, or charges associated with your payment method. We reserve the right to update fees and program pricing from time to time, with notice provided in advance of any changes affecting your enrollment.
All session purchases are final. Refunds are not issued for sessions that are unused, missed, or canceled. Registration fees, including the Test Prep registration fee, are non-refundable.
If you have a billing concern or believe a charge was made in error, please contact your home location promptly so we can address it directly.
Sessions are scheduled based on a combination of family preferences, tutor availability, and program structure. Once scheduled, your child's session times are reserved.
Whenever there is a conflict with your child's regularly scheduled session, you must notify Lazar Center as soon as possible. Parents who have contacted Lazar Center at least 1 hour before the start of a session will be given the opportunity to reschedule. Sessions that are eligible for rescheduling must be used while your child is actively enrolled at Lazar. Sessions canceled or missed without prior notice will be forfeited and are not eligible for rescheduling or refund.
To maintain a safe, focused, and productive learning environment, students and parents agree to:
Lazar Center reserves the right to refuse or terminate services for conduct that, in our sole discretion, is inappropriate, disruptive, or contrary to the safety and well-being of our community. In such cases, refunds will be issued only for prepaid sessions that have not been delivered.
From time to time, Lazar Center may photograph or video record students at our locations or during sessions for use in marketing, educational, or operational materials, including on our website and social media. We will only use a student's image with the parent or legal guardian's express written consent, which is requested at registration. Consent is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time by contacting us.

Lazar Center's services are provided to support student learning and academic growth. While we strive to deliver high-quality instruction and we have a strong track record of student success, we cannot and do not guarantee any specific academic outcome, test score, grade improvement, or admissions result. Outcomes depend on many factors, including student effort, attendance, prior academic preparation, and circumstances outside our control.
Our website and services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lazar Center, its officers, employees, tutors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost opportunities, lost academic performance, or emotional distress, arising from or related to your use of our services.
Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services is limited to the total amount you have paid to Lazar Center for the specific services giving rise to the claim during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lazar Center and its officers, employees, tutors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your or your student's use of our services, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any rights of a third party.
You may discontinue services at any time. Lazar Center may terminate or suspend services immediately, without prior notice, for any conduct that violates these Terms, disrupts our learning environment, or otherwise warrants termination in our reasonable discretion. Upon termination, the provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive will remain in effect, including without limitation the sections on Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in York County, South Carolina, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" above. Material changes will be communicated through our website or by email. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
