Here is the exact wording:
"If the child should leave the program, for any reason during the summer, with the 35-day notice, XX is entitled to receiving payment for the remainder of the school year...Once the child has been attending the program from the beginning of the school year through the spring of the following year, should the child's family decide to leave the program before the school year's end, XX is entitled to receiving tuition for the remainder of the school year. Parents are responsible for the tuition fees that they have agreed to pay, even if the child does not attend the program, due to traveling, illness, or any other reason."
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Seems very strict but if you signed it you should have known what you were signing & not agreed to it.
