# Stop billing customers for half-term/holidays

## How not to bill your customers for days when the class is not on.

Whether you will bill for a week or a year at a time, you will always have dates that you cannot make. Class Manager deals with this by making the **lesson** [inactive](https://help.classmanager.com/en/how-to-make-a-lesson-inactive-class-manager-help-center?hsLang=en).

Depending on if this affects one class or all classes, the most efficient way to do the change will be slightly different.

The system will **not invoice** for lessons that are marked as **inactive**. You can see the active/inactive state for any **lesson** by looking at the lesson list of a specific class.

**Note: **This will only occur if your pricing frequency is set to **Lesson** or **Week**

### I want to exclude a date from all my classes

A great example of this use case would be a public holiday. For example, on January 1st no one will be billing for New Years Day. 

As this will affect **all** classes, it would be best to add this as a Holiday in your settings. Check [here](https://help.classmanager.com/en/managing-holidays-half-term-other-breaks-class-manager-help-center?hsLang=en) to find out how.

### I want to exclude a date from select classes

A great example for this use case would be that a specific studio/hall that you teach in is unavailable in the final 2 Fridays before Christmas for the local choir that book it for practice.

As this will affect **selected** classes/lessons, it would be best to make these specific lessons inactive. To make a lesson inactive check [here](https://help.classmanager.com/en/how-to-make-a-lesson-inactive-class-manager-help-center?hsLang=en)
