REFUNDS:  WITHDRAWALS / DROPPED CLASSES

A FULL refund (less a $15 administrative fee) will ONLY be given if you withdraw from a class at least 14 days prior to the start date of that class.

Students withdrawing from or dropping a class less than two weeks (13 days or less) from the start date of that class are NOT eligible for any refund UNLESS a paying student is found in time to take your place (as in the class is FULL and a new person wants to register for your spot).  Credit towards a future class (less a $15 administrative fee) will instead be issued, valid for up to one year from the start date of the dropped class.  The standard registration process will be required for a new class.

REFUNDS:  MISSED CLASSES / ABSENCES

Striking Art will NOT extend any refunds to students who miss or don't show up for a class, however if there were extenuating circumstances due to an emergency, credit towards a future class MAY be issued at the Studio's discretion.  The same $15 adminstration fee and credit expiration date applies as in the above paragraph.  (Please contact me before the start of a class series if you know you will have to miss one of the class dates, to see what arrangements can be made.)

RIGHT TO CANCEL

Striking Art Studio reserves the right to cancel any class not meeting a minimum enrollment one week prior to its start date.  Students will be contacted if this occurs, and either a full refund will be issued OR a full credit given towards a future class, according to the STUDENT'S preference.  Striking Art will NOT assume responsibility for ANY LOSS INCURRED BY ANY STUDENT BEYOND the amount equal to the full class fee, should a class need to be canceled due to class minimums, instructor illness, or any unforseen situations on the part of the studio or other entities. 

RIGHT OF REFUSAL

Striking Art Studio reserves the unconditional right to refuse service and/or registration to any person, group, or organization.  

RIGHT TO TERMINATE

Striking Art Studio reserves the unconditional right to terminate a student's enrollment at any point due to the student's unreasonable conduct.  A refund in this situations WILL NOT be given.
