Disruption of School Operations. Parents understand that a “Force Majeure Event” may necessitate a cessation of or change in all or part of the School’s operations. A “Force Majeure Event” includes, but is not limited to, any fire, flood, act of God (earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, hurricane, tornado, lightning, etc.), governmental action, or acts or threats of the following: terrorism, epidemic, pandemic, viral outbreak, war, revolution, natural disaster, riot, strike, lockdown, or any event beyond the School’s reasonable control, or that makes performance inadvisable, impracticable, illegal or impossible in the School’s determination. If a Force Majeure Event occurs, Parents understand that the School shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to immediately and without notice: (1) extend, condense, or otherwise modify the school year; or (2) postpone or cease all or part of its operations and its duties, obligations, and performance under this Agreement. Parents further understand that their obligations under this Agreement remain and will continue, and that no portion of any tuition, fees or other payments made by Parents or that are outstanding will be forgiven or refunded if the School’s operations cease or are postponed, suspended or modified because of any Force Majeure Event.
Disruption of School Operations. Dates which may be officially published for classes to be in session may be altered due to circumstances beyond the control of School (i.e., Executive Order, epidemic, pandemic, earthquake, force majeure, or other act of God, etc.). Although School expects to operate its facilities during the term of this Enrollment Contract, Parent understands that events beyond School’s control may necessitate a cessation of all or part of its operations and result in an extension or contraction of the school year or a transition to a distance learning environment. In the event School’s operations are disrupted for any reason, it shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to suspend its duties, obligations, and performance under this Enrollment Contract immediately and without notice. Should School move to a distance learning environment, Parent will still be responsible for all tuition and fees. In the event that School is unable to provide or continue its education services to Student for any cause, School will not be liable for claims for any costs or expenses incurred as a result. School also reserves the right to extend the school year at its discretion to account for time when School’s operations have been disrupted.
Disruption of School Operations. In response to the pandemic, Hearts in Hand implemented health and safety measures to mitigate the spread of coronavirus disease and SARS-Cov-2, a highly contagious communicable virus (together, “COVID-19”). Hearts in Hand’s health and safety protocols are informed by guidance issued from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State of Colorado and the Larimer Country Health Department. The safety protocols are outlined in the COVID Procedures, attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “COVID-19 Response Handbook”)3 . Although Hearts in Hand expects to operate its program and facilities during the term of this Enrollment Agreement, Parent understands and agrees that Hearts in Hand, may at its sole discretion and consistent with expectations articulated in the [COVID-19 Response Handbook], close the facility without notice due to COVID-19 related events, including, but not limited to government mandated shutdowns, school closures in Larimer County, and COVID-19 exposure within the facility or otherwise impacting the Students and families enrolled at Hearts in Hand, as may be determined solely by the director of Hearts in Hand (each, a “COVID-19 Closure”). Parent also understands and agrees that in the event of a COVID-19 Closure, Parent’s obligations under this Enrollment Agreement will continue, and that no portion of Tuition paid by Parent or outstanding will be forgiven or refunded (except as set forth below).
