NATURE OF SERVICES

Our Services are designed to provide tools, resources, and guidance to support your growth and development in music and the arts. While we aim to offer useful information and advice, results are not guaranteed, and we do not warrant any specific outcomes from any Service, individual Session, series of Sessions, or other form of engagement.

You acknowledge that our Services are not a substitute for legal, financial, medical, or psychological care, and you agree to use discretion and careful consideration when applying any guidance or recommendations. By engaging in our Services or participating in any Session, you accept full responsibility for your actions and decisions.

Specific details, formats (online or in-person), Session length, pricing, and provisions for each Service are outlined on the Website, or provided via invoice or other written communication, and may vary by offering.

Special Offers

Certain Services may include optional add-ons, premium features, or enhanced support. Special offers are not available for all Services and may be subject to additional fees, eligibility requirements, scheduling limitations, or separate written agreements.

The provision of special offers may vary based on Service type, format, logistical requirements, or artistic fit. Barry reserves the right to modify, substitute, or discontinue any special offer at any time.

Updates and Modifications

Service offerings may be limited, and Barry reserves the right to modify descriptions, features, pricing, or discontinue any Service or feature at any time without prior notice. We may also restrict the sale of Services to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.

The information provided on this Website is for general informational purposes only. While reasonable efforts are made to ensure Service information is accurate and complete, clients are responsible for determining whether any Service or Session meets their specific needs prior to booking.

Occasionally, the Website may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions related to Service descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, or Session details. Barry reserves the right to correct such errors and update, modify, or cancel Service information or Session arrangements as needed. Such corrections or changes will not constitute a breach of these Terms.

Any offer for Services on this Website is void where prohibited. Clients are responsible for complying with all applicable local laws and regulations.

SESSION DETAILS AND LOCATIONS

Barry offers Services in both online and in-person formats, depending on the specific Service selected.

Online Sessions

Online Sessions are available for select Services and are conducted via video conferencing platforms such as Google Meet, Sessionwire, or similar platforms. Participation details are provided once the Session is confirmed. Online Sessions may be available regardless of the client’s geographic location, subject to availability and applicable laws.

In-Person Sessions

In-person Sessions may be requested for select Services and are subject to availability. Sessions may be held at either a client-secured location or a location secured by Barry.

Client-Secured Locations

For Sessions held at a client-secured location, clients are responsible for providing accurate location details, ensuring the space is appropriate for the Service, and securing access at the scheduled time.

Barry-Secured Locations

For select Services, Barry will secure studio locations within the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Clients may select a preferred area within these boroughs, and Barry will coordinate suitable studio options. Location details and any applicable costs will be communicated prior to Session confirmation.

Standard Travel Area

Barry maintains a standard travel area for select in-person Sessions. The standard travel area includes:

New York City: Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island
Long Island, NY: Nassau County and Suffolk County
Westchester County, NY: Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, and White Plains

In-person Sessions within the standard travel area may be eligible for standard pricing and scheduling.

Locations Outside the Standard Travel Area

In-person Sessions outside the standard travel area require review by Barry to assess necessary provisions. Clients provide location details, which Barry uses to determine pricing for the Session, including any applicable travel, lodging, or related costs. Clients are responsible for securing an appropriate location; Barry may provide guidance but is not responsible for arranging or managing the space.

CREATIVE CONTRIBUTIONS AND AUTHORSHIP

Ownership of Materials

For one-time song reviews or songwriting coaching Sessions, all materials you provide remain your property. Feedback or guidance provided by Barry does not transfer ownership or authorship.

Collaborative Projects

Any original material co-created during collaborative songwriting, vocal arranging, or project-based Sessions is owned according to the agreed-upon writing splits established before work begins.

Custom Songs

For custom songs created entirely by Barry, he retains full authorship unless a separate written agreement transfers rights. Clients receive a license to use the work for personal or agreed-upon purposes only.

Attribution and Acknowledgement

Written acknowledgements of contributions and ownership will be provided before delivery of collaborative or custom works to ensure clarity and alignment.

SCHEDULING

All Session requests and scheduling must be submitted through the Schedule with Barry form located on the Website. Scheduling is subject to availability. Only one Service or Session may be scheduled at a time. Sessions are non-transferable.

One-Time Sessions

One-time Sessions are scheduled individually and do not recur automatically. Each Session must be requested separately.

Recurring Sessions

Recurring Sessions are scheduled on an ongoing basis and occur on a consistent day and time. Each arrangement is either weekly (4x/month) or bi-monthly (2x/month), and the number of Sessions per monthly billing cycle is fixed; it is not affected by the number of calendar weeks in a month.

The scheduled day and time remain consistent for the duration of the arrangement unless otherwise agreed in writing. Additional Sessions may be requested separately and are subject to standard rates. Months that include an extra weekday do not include an additional Session or create a credit; Sessions automatically resume on the next scheduled date.

Recurring Sessions are not available for in-person Sessions held at locations secured by Barry.

Multi-Session Plans

Multi-session plans are curated packages that include a set number of Sessions over a defined period. Sessions take place on a consistent day and time each week and continue at that scheduled time throughout the plan, unless alternative arrangements are made.

Project-Based Sessions

Project-based Services are scheduled based on project details. Sessions can be booked individually or as part of a Session block, which is a set of Sessions planned in advance to support a specific project. Each Session block outlines a general number of Sessions and frequency (example, weekly or bi-monthly). Exact dates and times are arranged after review and mutual agreement, and any changes to the planned schedule are subject to availability and consent.

Creative Services

Creative Services are scheduled according to the nature and specific details of each request. Submissions are reviewed to determine scheduling availability.

Scheduling on Behalf of Another

Sessions may be scheduled on behalf of another individual or group of participants. The person submitting the scheduling request represents and warrants that they have the authority to schedule the Session and to accept these Terms on behalf of the participant.

If a Session is scheduled for a minor, the scheduling party must be the minor’s parent or legal guardian or must have obtained consent from the minor’s parent or legal guardian. A parent or legal guardian must remain present and supervise the minor for the entire duration of the Session.

Scheduling Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for selecting Session times and types they can commit to and for securing any locations they provide. They must provide accurate contact information, any necessary access instructions, be prepared with materials or equipment required for the Session, and respond promptly to scheduling communications. Attendance, punctuality, rescheduling, and cancellations are governed by the applicable policies outlined elsewhere in these Terms.

When scheduling on behalf of another participant, the scheduling party is responsible for communicating all relevant policies, requirements, and permissions contained in these Terms to the participant prior to the Session. The scheduling party must also ensure the participant is prepared for the Session and has the necessary materials, equipment, and environment required to properly participate.

Provider Scheduling Commitments

Barry will make every reasonable effort to accommodate requested Session dates, times, and locations. Scheduling is subject to mutual agreement, and clients will be notified promptly if a requested Session cannot proceed. Alternative options will be offered whenever possible, and Sessions will only move forward once both parties agree on the arrangements.

SCHEDULING CONFIRMATION

Generally, Sessions are confirmed once full payment is received or, where applicable, once a required deposit is received and written confirmation is issued. Participation, location, or other relevant details will be provided upon confirmation when applicable.

Certain Session requests require review prior to confirmation. Sessions requiring review are not considered confirmed until Barry has communicated availability and issued written confirmation. Details regarding deposits and payment provisions are set out in the Fees, Payments, and Refunds section of these Terms.

SESSION TIMING AND ATTENDANCE

Clients and instructors are expected to arrive on time for all Sessions. A fifteen (15) minute grace period is allowed following the scheduled start time. Late arrival within the grace period does not extend the scheduled end time, and the Session may be shortened accordingly.

If either the client or the instructor anticipates a delay, both parties are expected to communicate promptly to minimize disruption.

If the instructor is delayed, the Session may be adjusted or rescheduled, depending on circumstances and availability, to provide the client with the agreed Session duration.

A Session is considered a no-show if either party fails to attend the Session or fails to provide notice of a delay that exceeds the grace period.

If a client is deemed a no-show, the Session is forfeited and is not eligible for a refund, credit, or rescheduling unless otherwise agreed in writing.

If the instructor is deemed a no-show, the Session will be forfeited by the instructor and the client will be issued a credit to be applied to a rescheduled Session, subject to availability.

This policy reflects a shared commitment to punctuality, professionalism, and respect for scheduled Session times. It applies equally to clients and instructors and is intended to ensure fairness for all parties.

SESSION CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS

Session Changes and Rescheduling

Requests to change Session details—including date, time, format (online or in-person), or location—must be submitted in writing and are subject to availability and approval. Whenever possible, at least 24 hours’ notice is requested.

Approval of a reschedule or modification is not guaranteed. Approved changes may require adjusted logistics, pricing, travel arrangements, or other requirements, which will be communicated prior to confirmation.

Session Pauses

Clients may request a pause for their Sessions depending on the type of existing arrangement. Requests must be submitted in writing as soon as possible.

Recurring Sessions: Temporarily paused recurring Sessions will hold the client’s regular time slot for up to four (4) weeks from the pause start date. After this period, the time slot may be forfeited unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Multi-Session Plans: Pausing a Session in a multi-Session plan alters the remaining schedule. Paused Sessions shift subsequent Sessions later in the plan. Remaining Sessions are subject to availability, and scheduling may need to be adjusted if conflicts arise with other Sessions or commitments. Barry will work with the client to find the best available schedule for the remaining Sessions.

Note: One-time Sessions outside recurring or multi-Session plans cannot be paused; requests to pause a single Session are considered rescheduling.

Client Cancellations

Clients may cancel one-time Sessions, recurring Sessions, programs, or project-based Services at any time by providing written notice.

For recurring Sessions, cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period, in accordance with these Terms.

Sessions missed due to client no-shows or late arrivals exceeding the applicable grace period are considered canceled.

Instructor Cancellations

If the instructor is unable to provide a scheduled Session or Service due to illness, injury, or other circumstances beyond our control, reasonable efforts will be made to offer a replacement instructor or reschedule the Session.

Repeated Changes or Cancellations

We reserve the right to decline future reschedule or change requests from clients who frequently or inconsiderately alter or cancel appointments.

FEES AND PRICING

Certain Services offered through the Website require payment. Details regarding fees, billing structure, payment timing, and applicable terms are disclosed on the Website, during booking, or at the time of scheduling. You agree to pay all fees and any applicable taxes associated with the Services or Sessions you select. Prices may be revised at any time. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are listed in United States Dollars (USD).

Payments may be made using accepted credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, Google Pay, or Link, and are processed securely through the Website or through official invoice documents. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate payment and billing information for all Services or Sessions.

Estimates

For certain Sessions, full pricing may not be available at the time of booking. In these cases, an estimate is provided at the time of inquiry and reflects the base pricing structure of the selected Service category, and may be presented as a single amount or a price range. Final pricing depends on the specific Session and its requirements.

Pricing may be influenced by factors including, but not limited to:

Session duration
Preparation or planning requirements
Project complexity
Travel or location logistics
Studio coordination
Creative or administrative deliverables

The final price may be higher or lower than the initial estimate and will be communicated in writing prior to scheduling being finalized. By proceeding with booking or scheduling, you acknowledge and agree that pricing may differ from the estimate.

SESSION PAYMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

Payments for each Session are structured according to the type of Session booked. This includes how and when one-time, recurring, fixed-term, or other Sessions are billed and processed.

One-Time Sessions

Full payment is required at the time of booking unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

Recurring Sessions

Recurring Sessions are billed monthly and renew automatically unless canceled in accordance with these Terms.

By enrolling in recurring Sessions, you authorize automatic charges to your selected payment method according to your billing schedule until the arrangement is canceled. If a recurring payment fails or is declined, access to Sessions may be suspended until payment is successfully processed.

Fixed-Term Programs and Project-Based Services

Certain fixed-term programs and project-based Services may require installment payments or milestone-based billing. Specific payment terms will be communicated at the time of scheduling.

Other Services

Payment terms for other Services not described above will be provided at the time of inquiry or scheduling.

Billing Adjustments

Billing adjustments for paused or modified Sessions depend on the nature and timing of the arrangement. When Sessions are paused, billing may be suspended or adjusted for the affected period, and remaining Sessions may be rescheduled within the original timeframe where possible, subject to availability. Adjustments to payment occur only when changes extend beyond the originally agreed period or significantly alter the scope or frequency of Sessions. Any billing impacts resulting from pauses, rescheduling, or other modifications will be communicated in advance unless otherwise agreed in writing.

RETAINERS

Certain Services require a non-refundable retainer prior to scheduling. The retainer secures professional time for submission review, pricing determination, preparation, and allocation of scheduling resources.

Retainers are applied toward the total cost of the Session if the Session proceeds.

For Services requiring review, final pricing is determined after assessment of the specific Session details. Because professional time and administrative resources are allocated immediately upon receipt, retainers are non-refundable, regardless of whether the Session ultimately proceeds.

Appointments are held for the period specified on the invoice. Full payment of any remaining balance must be received by the stated due date; otherwise, the Session may be released and the retainer retained.

Barry may, at his sole discretion, offer alternative payment arrangements in select circumstances.

REFUND POLICY

All fees paid for Services or Sessions, including retainers, prepaid fees, fixed-term programs, and project-based Services, are non-refundable unless otherwise expressly stated in writing.

No refunds or credits are issued for missed Sessions, late arrivals, or client-initiated cancellations or changes.
