Clear guidance for using lesson packages, managing credits, and planning schedule changes.
Using Your Package
How do lesson packages work?
Caterpillar includes four 30-minute lessons (120 minutes total) per one-time purchase. Chrysalis includes four 45-minute lessons (180 minutes total) per one-time purchase. Butterfly includes four 60-minute lessons (240 minutes total) per one-time purchase. After purchasing a package, use the Schedule link in your Acuity purchase confirmation email to apply your package code automatically and select all four lesson times in one booking session.
All three packages do not automatically renew. Unused credits expire 90 days after purchase. Purchase another package to continue after your credits are used or expire.
How do I book a lesson with my package code?
Choose one lesson type that matches your package and select your first time. Use Make Recurring for a consistent weekly time or Add Another Time to choose varied dates. Select all four times before continuing to checkout. If you opened the scheduler directly and your code is not already applied, enter the code from your receipt in the package, gift, or coupon code field. Covered lessons show as $0.00 while eligible package credit remains.
For example, a Caterpillar package can be used for Caterpillar virtual or in-person lessons.
Which lesson types does my package cover?
Packages are tied to the lesson length purchased. Caterpillar packages apply to 30-minute Caterpillar lessons, Chrysalis packages apply to 45-minute Chrysalis lessons, and Butterfly packages apply to 60-minute Butterfly lessons.
Each package may be used for either virtual or in-person lessons of the matching length, based on availability.
How do I check my remaining package balance?
Check your package balance: in the Acuity scheduler, select Check code balance near the bottom of the page. Enter your package or subscription code, or use the email address associated with the package purchase.
What happens after all four lessons are used or there is a fifth-week month?
For all three packages, purchase another package when your four lessons are used or your credits expire. Additional lessons require eligible credits or a separate purchase; a fifth calendar week does not add a lesson to your package.
If a student’s usual lesson day falls five times within a calendar month, the fifth lesson may be booked using an eligible unused package credit, if available. Alternatively, the additional lesson may be purchased separately; otherwise, that week will be skipped.
Credits, Cancellations & Refunds
What happens if I cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Lessons may be canceled or rescheduled at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time without losing the lesson credit. Cancellations or reschedule requests made less than 24 hours before a lesson generally count as used and the lesson credit is not returned.
What happens if a lesson is missed or a student does not attend?
Missed lessons and no-shows generally count as completed, and the lesson credit is not returned.
Are emergency exceptions available?
We understand that emergencies happen. Exceptions may be made at Elizabeth’s discretion.
What happens if Heart of the Matter cancels a lesson?
If Heart of the Matter needs to cancel a lesson, the student will not lose the lesson. The appointment will be rescheduled or the lesson credit will be returned.
How long may unused credits remain available?
Unused credits from new Caterpillar, Chrysalis, and Butterfly purchases expire 90 days after purchase. A new purchase provides a new package; these packages do not automatically renew.
If you have credits from a previously purchased subscription, contact Elizabeth to confirm the terms that apply to your purchase. A new package purchase does not reset the expiry of earlier credits.
What happens when I cancel a previously purchased Caterpillar subscription?
For previously purchased Caterpillar subscriptions, canceling the subscription stops future renewals. Students may continue using any remaining lessons from the current paid billing cycle through the end of that billing period.
Who can answer questions about one-time package refunds?
Contact Elizabeth before purchasing a lesson package if you have questions about refunds or exceptions.
Are previously purchased Caterpillar subscription payments refundable?
For previously purchased Caterpillar subscriptions, payments are generally non-refundable once a billing period has begun. Refunds or other exceptions may be considered by Elizabeth when circumstances warrant.
If a package payment is refunded, unused lesson credits associated with that payment may be removed and any related future appointments may be canceled.
