Terms and Conditions (Term Courses)
Last Updated: 16th June, 2023
ABOUT
We try to be as flexible as possible but we do have
a few Terms and Conditions. Let us know if you have any questions.
COURSE BOOKING FEES & CONFIRMATION
Course fees are payable through our automated payment
system on our website, by direct bank transfer, credit or debit card or
by cheque. A confirmation email will be sent to you once your
payment has been processed. Full payment or a deposit of £100 is
required to secure a place on a course. Payment of any outstanding
balance is required at least 2 weeks before the term commences.
REFUNDS
- Those cancelling 6 weeks or more before the course start date are
entitled to a full refund less a £30 admin fee.
- Cancellations made between 2 and 6 weeks before the course start
date are entitled to a full refund less £100.
- Cancellations made within 2 weeks of the course start date are
non-refundable.
- All cancellation requests must be made in writing.
- Fees cannot be transferred to future terms unless agreed to by
Art Classes For Me.
- It is very rare that we have to cancel a course and we reserve the
right to do so. If this should happen you will be refunded 100% of the
course fees (including deposits) with no administration charge.
COVID-19 / OTHER EVENT OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL
We will follow the latest government advice for
further/higher education classes. In the event that a class is not
allowed to go ahead for reasons that are outside of our control, such
as a lockdown, we will give you notice as soon we are aware of the
problem. We would provide online classes as an alternative and no
refund can be given.
COURSE CONTENT
We reserve the right to make changes to the course
curriculum as may be necessary.
COURSE MATERIALS
We don’t supply art materials for our courses. You
will need to buy your own, and a full materials list will be provided
once you book onto your course.
COPYRIGHT, PRINTING OUT YOUR OWN REFERENCE MATERIAL AND HANDOUTS
We provide digital copies of everything you need for
the course via the website, and you can print out the handouts, reference
material etc ready for class. We will help you in accessing these materials
if you are unsure about technology. The handouts are the sole intellectual
property of ‘Art Classes For Me’ and may not be copied or
reproduced. We reserve the right to use images from our classes to showcase
our courses for marketing purposes. Please let us know in writing if you
would like to opt out of this.
VENUE
Details of course venues are listed on our website and
included with course details. We reserve the right to make reasonable
course venue changes if needed, and any such change will be notified to
you in writing. A change in venue does not entitle you to any refund of
course fees, whether in part or in full.
CLASS POLICIES
Please aim to be punctual - classrooms and online
meetings will be ready 15 minutes before class starts. Please try to
arrive about this time so you are relaxed and ready to learn.
We maintain the right to dismiss any student
who acts inappropriately in the classroom. Any dismissal and resulting
booking cancellation will not be eligible for any refund nor credit for this
booking.
MISSED CLASSES
We strongly advise you to commit to coming to all
classes if possible. In the event that you are not able to attend a
lesson you can attend at another venue or online, though you must inform
us beforehand so we can set your place up. If this is not possible,
you can catch up by watching a video to recap lessons you have missed.
You can then complete the lesson at home and
bring your work in for feedback the following week. We may not have
time to recap everything you have missed.
If you miss one or more sessions during the
term due to sickness or holidays, you will still need to pay for the
sessions as the space has been held for you. You will therefore not
be entitled to a fee reduction or credit for the missed classes.
CLOTHING
Please wear old clothes or aprons. We are not
responsible for any damage to student’s clothing.
ELIGIBILITY
Our courses are open to all adults 18 years or over.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Please use common sense. We aim to provide a
safe learning environment to reduce the risk of injury. Please let
us know if you have any health needs we need to be aware of before
the start of the classes.
ACCESSIBILITY
The Christchurch venue has a stair lift to the
classroom. Our Bournemouth venue is on the ground floor and is
wheelchair accessible. If you have a disability or need we
should know about, please inform us and we will support
you as best we can.
