Paying the Piper

Last revision: 04/24/2026

I. Booking Services

Payment is due at the time of booking if the performance is to take place within 60 calendar days from the client’s first inquiry. Upon confirming scheduling availability and agreement on the price and terms, Piper Jonas will issue an invoice outlining the terms and options for payment. The fee can be paid directly through links in the invoice.

I.I Exceptions

Performances scheduled to take place 60 days or more from the client’s first inquiry may be eligible for splitting payment into two transactions: 1) a non-refundable deposit, and 2) the remaining balance. Eligibility is determined at the sole discretion of Piper Jonas. The reservation deposit confirms the date and time in the booking calendar. Payment of the reservation deposit serves as implied consent to the terms outlined in the Universal Service Agreement. Deposits are typically $100 or 30% of the total quote (whichever is greater) and applied to the total balance. 

Until a reservation deposit is paid, the date is considered "non-reserved" and available for booking by others on a first come, first serve basis.

II. Payment Methods

Invoices issued by Piper Jonas provide links for secure online payments (serviced via Stripe) using major credit cards, debit cards, and bank ACH transfers. In addition to those options, payment is also accepted via: PayPal, personal or corporate checks, Venmo, and Bitcoin. Please note that any delay caused by sending checks through the mail may result in situations where the scheduled performance day may become booked and no longer available. Cash payments are also accepted for in-person lessons only.

III. Remaining balances

Remaining balances are due on or before the date of the performance unless otherwise agreed to in advance by Piper Jonas and the client and can be paid by card, check, or Bitcoin.

iV. Late Payments

Payments are considered past due the day following the date of the event. Piper Jonas will work with clients in good faith to resolve any issues or delays that could result in a late payment, but communication is an important part of the process. Invoices that remain unpaid one (1) week following the date of the event accruing compounding weekly late fees at 5% of the total invoiced amount. Late fees will continue accruing until the late fees reach 50% of the total invoiced amount.
