CLASS CANCELLATION POLICY

This agreement is for the purpose of running an efficient and effective Online Animation Art School

PARENT RESPONSIBILITY: Parents are expected to take the primary responsibility of monitoring the student’s class attendance, behavior in class (including the chat box) and the turning in of weekly assignments. Parents are also expected to review the syllabi as provided in each class, provide the necessary equipment and materials needed, and review work turned in. Students are encouraged to grow in their independent ability to take personal responsibility for completion and on-time submission of assignments, including conformity to any required formats.

FEES & PAYMENTS: The Tuition for each class can be paid by credit card at the time of registration.

          There are 2 options for how a class is paid for:

#1 A Non-refundable Registration fee (at a minimum) is due upon registration with the commitment to pay the “final payment” as the session draws near. Then the rest of the payment is due before a due date specified for that session and before orientation materials can be sent out. We do send out reminders by a specified date as well.

#2 Full Payment can be made upon registration and if this is chosen then there is nothing to be done until receiving orientation materials.

Either way, upon registration, you will receive a semi-personal email notifying you that your registration has been processed, the dates of the class and any payments that are expected.

CANCELLATION & REFUNDS: All classes have a “non-refundable” fee attached to the cost of the class whether only the registration fee is paid for or the full payment is made at the time of registration.

·         Due to the nature of how we deliver our Recordings ONLY Classes in Levels 1 & 2 Drawing and Levels 1 & 2 Animation, when purchasing this option, please be advised that there are NO REFUNDS given after purchase and delivery of the PDF to view the class.

·         Full Course cancellations 2 weeks prior to orientation week will receive a 100% refund minus the non-refundable registration fee or can be moved to the next session.

·         Full Course Cancellations during the week of orientation will receive a refund that takes another $50 off for administration costs – taking $100 off the full class fee or can be moved to the next session.

·         Full Course Cancellations within 2 weeks after classes begin will receive half of the tuition back as a refund or may have the option to roll that class fee forward to the next session.

·         Full Course Cancellations after the first 2 weeks of class, require that that class fee is forfeited. An appeal can be made to the administration to consider moving the class fee to the next session and this will be considered depending on the circumstances.

PAYPAL PAYMENT: When payment is made through PayPal, if requesting a refund, it will not be a full refund amount because PayPal has stopped returning the fees attached to payment. We will be sending the refund minus the fees attached. From the PayPal website: “If you issue a refund for goods or services, there are no fees to issue the refund, but the fees you originally paid as the seller are not returned to you. The amount of therefunded payment will be deducted from your PayPal account.”

STRIPE PAYMENT: When payment is made through our website alone it is called Stripe. If requesting a refund, it will not be a full refund amount because Stripe has stopped returning the fees attached to payment. We will be sending the refund minus the fees attached. From the Stripe website: “There are no fees to refund a charge, but the fees from the original charge are not returned. We submit refund requests to your customer's bank or card issuer immediately. Your customer sees the refund as a credit approximately 5-10 business days later, depending upon the bank.”
