Prilladona, each day should take you an hour or less.

A non-compete contract can state anything the involved parties agree to. The question is what is enforceable.
In most states non-competes are fully enforceable while there is mutual benefit. That is to say, while you are being paid by the studio owner and she is receiving your educational resources.
Where non-competes break down is upon termination of the relationship. Courts have generally found that these clauses imposing a time limit before you can practice your skill again are unenforceable unless there is mutual benefit during that time.
For example, if the contract were to read that in exchange for your agreement not to compete the studio would pay you $1000/month during your non-competition period, it would be enforceable. However since you receive no benefit during the non-compete period they couldn't enforce it.
A brief conversation with an employment lawyer in your area should confirm this, as well as what the process is for dealing with it.
In most states you simply ignore these time based clauses as the employer will not spend any money taking you to court because they can't win.

You will generally have your pole within a week of ordering it.

lilmissre – I looked your phone up and it appears that its 3g chipset may not provide the best overall bandwidth management. You'll be able to play videos off sites with dollars to support massively scalable video infrastructures such as Youtube or Vimeo but will probably struggle on other networks.
I'm sorry I couldn't provide a better answer 🙁

Nanette,
How are you viewing the site? Are you using your phone? Your computer? A Tablet?

The two you will need to pay are ASCAP and BMI. The only way to find out what your fee schedule will be is to contact them as it varies based on geographic location, square footage of your studio, expected audience etc…
In most cases you need to just pay them, even if you don't play any music they license since, music licensing law is one of the few places in US regs where you are guilty until proven innocent. If you don't pay, they will eventually send you a letter demanding payment and it will be your job to prove that you don't play any of their music and not their job to prove that you did.
It's a huge racket but its the way things are. Restaraunts, coffee shops, exercise studios and other establishments just pay these fees either directly or as a pass through with wired music services, simply because the cost and hassle of fighting it is too great.
The benifit is that if you are properly licensed you can play anything at your studio and never have to worry if its legal or not.

monicasteez – Two ideas:
1) We offer free shipping on X-Poles so you can get a chrome pole in any diameter for $329, which is thirty more than you want to spend but is pretty close.
2) The other option is a little mynx. You do have to bolt something into your ceiling but unless you have concrete or tin ceilings this is really not a problem. Even in a rental situation repairing the hole when you leave will take 1 minute, a butter knife, a two dollar tub of spackle and be virtually invisible. The Lil Mynx spinner will come in right at that $300 mark and it is really, really quick to take up and down.

I did just find a bug that if you click on a link on facebook that takes you here your login is being cleared. But it doesn't affect your ability to log back in. This could be what you are experiencing. I'm working on it as we speak.

You can change your password by visiting the Profile page then clicking "Edit Profile"
There should be no login issues like this going on right now. We had a login expiration issue that could have logged you out once but wouldn't have continually logged you out. This has been resolved.
Generally continuous logouts are due to a browser issue. Specifically spyware or malware on your system or faulty browser plugins. A good way to test this is to download a new browser and try that so if you are useing Internet Explorer for example try downloading Firefox at http://www.firefox.com or Chrome at http://www.google.com/chrome

We are a young industry and there are a TREMENDOUS number of certs out there right now. These certs all share one commonality, PROFIT. People pay the certifier for their stamp of approval. Generally people take that certification and use it to make money since they are now CERTIFIED and therefore appear to have some level of expertise. There are even studios who guarantee you a job if you take their very expensive certification course. Profit is why everyone has one or offers one.
This, of course, doesn't make certifications bad. Certifications can be a very effective way to initially measure an instructor. If they come from a certification agent that you trust. We have some very good certifications in our industry and we have some very, very bad ones too.
Because our industry is young, and everyone is still trying to find their place in it, there is far more value in researching the instructor or studio you are planning on using than any sticker on the door can ever tell you.

When you order a pole from StudioVeena.Com your order is submitted within minutes to the X-Pole warehouse in Canada. After submission it can take X-Pole up to two business days to ship your pole. After shipping it will take 2 to 5 business days to reach you.
We will send you tracking info as soon as we receive it as well, this can be up to two days after the pole is shipped however as they are working on communication mechanisms in the Canadian warehouse.
