Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Karate school refund

My son joined a karate school 2 years ago. On the contract was a requirement to pay via credit card on the 25th of month for next months class. They also listed a no refund clause. My son lost interest in karate after 2 years. I phoned on 01 Sept to inform school my son would not be participating any longer. I inquired about the payment already made to the school when I found out about the no refund part. I also prepayed for private lessons which they say is non refundable. I don't think this is right. Are there any consumer laws that may help me recover my money. It seems everything is in their favor.

The contract will govern this transaction. I really cant give you a detailed answer without the contract. However, it apears that you were and are aware of their no refund policy so odds are you are out of luck. M y office would be more than happy to review this contract for you.
