Missed Sessions: Missed sessions cannot be refunded, but you may reschedule or join another class within one month, subject to availability.

Privacy Policy
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.
Information We Collect: When you register, we collect your name, contact details, emergency information, and any relevant health or allergy details.
How We Use Your Information: We use this information to manage your bookings, communicate with you about classes, and ensure your safety during sessions.
Marketing Communication: With your consent, we may contact you via email or WhatsApp to share updates and promotions, or add you to our WhatsApp class group for class notifications. You can opt out at any time.
Photography and Filming: We occasionally take photos or videos for promotional purposes and may also ask verbally at the time. Consent is confirmed through the paragraph included on your registration form, which you agree to when signing up. If you do not wish for photos or videos of yourself or your child to be used in our media, please notify us in advance, in any form.

Refund Policy
At our Art Academy, we understand that plans can change. As a small business, we do our best to be fair and flexible while keeping our classes running smoothly.
Full Refunds: If you cancel your booking more than 2 days before your scheduled class, you’ll receive a full refund.
Cancellations Less Than 48 Hours Before Class: Unfortunately, we're unable to offer a monetary refund for cancellations made less than 2 days before the class. This is because materials are already prepared, teachers are booked, and the spot cannot be filled at such short notice. However, you're welcome to reschedule or join another class within one month of your original booking.
Missed Classes: We’re unable to offer refunds or credits for missed classes without prior notice.
Transaction Fees: Please note that transaction fees are non-refundable, as these are costs already incurred by the studio.
We truly value your understanding and support. Our goal is to create a fair system that respects both our clients and our teachers, while keeping our creative community thriving.
Camp Cancellation Policy
Camp bookings work differently from single classes, as we begin preparing for camp many months in advance and cannot resell a booked spot.
Food Refunds: If you cancel at least 48 hours before the start of your booked camp session, we can refund the food portion of your payment.
Cancellations Less Than 48 Hours Before Camp: If you cancel with less than 48 hours' notice before your camp session starts, we're unable to offer a monetary refund, but we can issue a voucher to use towards another class. This is because a late cancellation does not give us enough time to fill the spot.
Booked and Paid Weeks: For a full week that has been booked and paid, we can issue a voucher valid for any of our classes. We're happy to review individual circumstances on a case-by-case basis where needed.
Cancellations During Camp: Cancellations made once camp has started are not eligible for a refund.
Please note that as camp spots cannot be resold once booked, and preparations begin months in advance, late cancellations represent a direct cost to the studio. We appreciate your understanding.
