Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: August 13, 2026

Welcome to the Crescendo Community Arts website. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Crescendo Community Arts website, services, programs, events, and payment features.

By accessing or using this website, registering for a program or event, making a donation, purchasing a service or merchandise, or otherwise interacting with Crescendo Community Arts through this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website or its payment services.

1. About Crescendo Community Arts

Crescendo Community Arts (“Crescendo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening communities through music and the arts. We provide inclusive and accessible opportunities for children and families to learn, perform, connect, and grow through musical and artistic experiences.

These Terms apply to all users of our website, including donors, program participants, parents and guardians, volunteers, event attendees, and visitors.

2. Use of the Website

You may use this website for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You agree not to:

Use the website for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, its systems, or other users’ information.
Interfere with the operation or security of the website.
Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information.
Use automated systems to access or collect information from the website without our permission.
Upload or transmit malicious software, viruses, or other harmful material.
Use content from the website in a manner that infringes our intellectual property rights or the rights of others.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the website when we reasonably believe that a user has violated these Terms or applicable law.

3. Donations

Crescendo Community Arts accepts voluntary donations through this website to support our mission and programs.

When you make a donation, you represent that:

You are authorized to use the payment method provided.
The information you provide is accurate and complete.
You authorize Crescendo or its designated payment processor to charge the amount you specify.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of donation, donations are intended to support Crescendo’s general charitable purposes. We may use unrestricted donations where they are most needed to support our mission, programs, operations, and community activities.

If you make a donation for a specific campaign, program, or purpose, Crescendo will make reasonable efforts to use the funds for that purpose. However, if circumstances change or the designated purpose is no longer feasible, we may redirect the funds to a substantially similar charitable purpose consistent with our mission and applicable law.

4. Payments and Payment Processing

Certain services, programs, events, merchandise, registrations, or other activities may require payment.

Payments made through this website may be processed by a third-party payment provider. Crescendo does not generally receive or store complete payment card numbers or other sensitive payment credentials submitted directly to the payment processor.

By submitting a payment, you authorize the applicable payment processor to process the transaction according to the payment information and amount you provide.

Third-party payment processors may have their own terms, conditions, and privacy policies. Your use of their payment services may therefore also be subject to those terms.

Crescendo is not responsible for technical problems, interruptions, declined transactions, or other issues caused by a third-party payment processor, financial institution, payment network, or other service outside our reasonable control.

5. Payment Authorization

Before completing a transaction, please review the amount and information you provide carefully.

By submitting a payment, you confirm that:

The payment information you provide is accurate.
You are authorized to use the selected payment method.
You authorize the transaction for the amount displayed at checkout.
You agree to any applicable program, event, registration, or purchase conditions displayed at the time of payment.

We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or investigate a transaction if we reasonably believe it may be fraudulent, unauthorized, unlawful, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms.

6. Refunds and Cancellations

Unless a different refund or cancellation policy is specifically stated for a particular program, event, registration, or purchase, payments are generally subject to the following guidelines.

Donations

Because donations are voluntary charitable contributions, donation refunds are generally not provided once a donation has been processed.

If you believe a donation was made in error, duplicated, or processed without your authorization, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can review the transaction.

Programs and Events

Refund and cancellation policies for programs, classes, registrations, concerts, and events may vary. When applicable, the specific refund or cancellation policy presented during registration or purchase will control.

If an event or program is canceled by Crescendo, we will communicate any available refund, credit, transfer, or alternative arrangements to registered participants as appropriate.

Unauthorized Transactions

If you believe your payment method was used without your authorization, please contact us promptly and, where appropriate, your financial institution or payment provider.

7. Recurring Donations

If Crescendo offers recurring or scheduled donations, the terms of the recurring donation will be presented before you authorize the transaction.

By enrolling in a recurring donation, you authorize the applicable payment processor to charge your selected payment method according to the schedule and amount you selected.

You may request cancellation of future recurring donations by following the available cancellation instructions or contacting Crescendo. Cancellation of a recurring donation does not automatically reverse donations that have already been processed.

8. Programs, Events, and Activities

Program and event information published on this website, including dates, times, locations, descriptions, instructors, performers, and availability, may change.

Crescendo reserves the right to modify, postpone, relocate, or cancel programs or events when reasonably necessary, including because of scheduling issues, facility availability, weather, safety concerns, staffing, or circumstances beyond our control.

Where appropriate, we will provide affected participants with notice of significant changes.

9. Children and Minors

Many Crescendo programs and activities are intended for children and young people.

A parent or legal guardian is responsible for registering a minor for programs or activities and for providing accurate information and required permissions.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, a child or minor should not independently submit registration information, make payments, or provide personal information through the website without appropriate parental or guardian involvement.

Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising minors participating in Crescendo activities in accordance with the requirements communicated for the applicable program or event.

Additional waivers, releases, consent forms, or participation agreements may be required for certain activities.

10. Photography, Video, and Recordings

Crescendo may photograph, record, or otherwise document concerts, rehearsals, performances, community events, and other activities for legitimate organizational purposes, including promoting our programs and mission.

Any use of identifiable images, recordings, or other media involving children or other participants will be subject to applicable consent requirements and any permissions provided for the relevant activity.

Where a separate media release or consent form is provided, that agreement will govern the applicable use of images, recordings, or other media.
