What to do if I signed a no refunds contract on horseback riding lessons for my sister and myself but things have not worked out?
The agreement was 20 lessons split between us 10 lessons per person at 2 hour intervals were to be completed in 2 months. we paid in the beginning of September but have only had 1 lesson she has cancelled all the rest. She has dragged it out so long that now our schedules are busy and she only gives us a 1 hour spot to split. I’m wondering if I have any right to a refund since this is not the agreement I signed up for?

If the other party (the one providing the lessons) has violated the terms of the agreement or is making it impossible for you to get the benefit of the contract, you may be entitle to a refund or other compensation, for her breach of the contract and/or breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (the obligation to not prevent the other party to a contract from getting its benefit). On the other hand, if the one providing the services is willing to meet her obligations, and its you or yoru sister who have made it impossible to complete the contract, you'd still be obligated and would not be entitled to a refund.
