Question
The question:
At the beginning of the year I sent this page to all the parents.
I provide services both for a kindergarten and for an afternoon program.
He registered his child for the kindergarten, and after the holidays he asked to register for the afternoon program as well.
At the time of registration he himself was not clear whether he wanted it for a few months or until the end of the year.
I told him: if it is until the end of the year, 600 shekels, and if it is for a few months, 650 shekels.
In practice he paid 600 shekels.
Before Pesach he informed me that at the end of Nisan he is taking the child out of the kindergarten.
I asked him for an additional 50 shekels for each month.
Now he claims that since I asked for another 50 shekels, it became a monthly payment, and therefore he is requesting a full refund for the war period and for the Pesach vacation.
He claims that he signed the rules only for the kindergarten and not for the afternoon program,
and claims that from the page it does not appear that the signature is for both.

Answer
Greetings and blessings.
Instruction of our teacher HaRav HaGaon Rabbi Amram Fried shlita:
Even someone who pays a monthly rate is obligated to pay for the war period and the like, in accordance with the condition written on the page.
The obligation regarding war and the like also applies to the participants in the afternoon program.
