Terms & Conditions

 

Written here are the Terms & Conditions for Ricky Schaede's group art classes for kids, youth, and adults, and for private lessons.  By registering for art class with Ricky, you are agreeing to the terms & conditions written here.  

 

Registration

  • Registration is on a first come first serve basis. 

  • Advance registration is recommended for all programs.

  • Registration is confirmed only upon receipt of payment.  Classes can be paid for via the online store, by e-transfer, in-store with cash, debit or credit, or over the phone via credit card.

  • Registration is subject to availability.

  • All programs and prices are subject to change without notice (only under very rare circumstances)

  • Ricky reserves the right to remove students from classes when necessary to ensure the safety and well being of others.

     

Withdrawals and Refunds

  • Payment for art class registration is due in full at time of registration.

  • Customers who withdraw more than 1 week prior to the start of a course, class or program will be issued either a refund (minus a $15 administration fee) or a credit that may be applied to any art class for one year from the date the credit is issued.  Credits may also be applied to buying prints, merchandise, original artwork, and other items Ricky sells.  

  • If a student needs to withdraw from class within 1 week of the start of class, we are unable to provide any refunds, or credits, or transfer the student to another program.

  • Absence does not constitute a withdrawal.

  • If you’re enrolled in class (for example a 6-class after school drawing series) and you miss a class, you are not entitled to any refunds or credits for the missed class.

  • Withdrawal requests must be made by email directly to ricky@rickyschaede.com

  • For private art lessons, we require 24 hours notice for any rescheduling / cancellations. Any lessons cancelled within 24 hours are still billable. 

 

Make-Up Classes

  • Make-up classes for group classes are only available under specific circumstances outlined below.

  • Make-up classes are only available within the same season as the program you're registered for, provided there are available spaces in other programs appropriate for the student's age.  For example, if you sign up for the Saturday Art Adventurers Program for March-April and are going to miss a Saturday, I am happy to provide a make-up class in the Sunday Drawing Explorers program within the same season (March-April) and only if there is space in the other program to accommodate your young artist.

  • If you want to arrange for a make-up class, please make sure to let us know as early as possible with a request via email to ricky@rickyschaede.com.  Make-up classes cannot be provided without advanced notice, so if you know your young artist will be absent for one of the dates and you want to arrange for a make-up class, you must arrange this ahead of time.

  • If all programs during the season are full for the age range appropriate for the student, it would not be possible to provide make-up classes for missed classes as there would be no available spaces in other programs.  

  • It is not possible to to transfer make up classes to a future season of classes, for example, if you miss a class in the May-June season, we cannot provide a make-up class in the summer or fall, nor can we discount a future registration to account for the missed classes.

  • For private art lessons, we require 24 hours notice for any rescheduling / cancellations. Any lessons cancelled within 24 hours are still billable and no make-up class will be provided. 

     

     

Cancellation of Classes due to Low Enrolment

  • We recommend that you enrol at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the program to ensure that we have sufficient registrations to run the class.

  • In the event of course cancellation due to low enrolment, registrants will be notified 3 days prior to the scheduled commencement of the course and a full refund will be given.

  • It is extremely rare that a class or program would be cancelled due to low enrolment, it has not happened yet since we opened the studio, so please don't let this policy deter you from registering.


Cancellation of Classes due to Inclement Weather or Other Circumstances

  • Please call 519-217-3059 to confirm classes in the event of inclement weather or other circumstances (for example government shutdowns and natural disasters.)

  • Students will be contacted via text and email when classes are cancelled due to inclement weather or other circumstances.  

  • Every effort to provide make up classes will be made but cannot be guaranteed.

  • Refunds will not be given in these rare cases.
