These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the websites, learning platform, checkout, and related services operated by Arts Atelier 146 ("Arts Atelier 146," "we," "us," or "our"), including artsatelier146.org and associated applications (collectively, the "Service").
By creating an account, browsing the site, checking out, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction. If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must create or use a purchasing account, provide consent at checkout where required, and accept these Terms on your behalf. Student accounts designated as learner-only (restricted from initiating checkout) must be enrolled by a linked guardian or by school staff as described at checkout.
You represent that information you provide is accurate and that you will keep your account credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account except where we have failed to maintain reasonable security through our fault alone.
The Service supports account types including students, instructors, and administrators. Capabilities depend on your role and course enrollment. We may refuse registration, suspend access, or close accounts that violate these Terms, applicable law, or our community standards.
Guest checkout: You may complete a purchase without a pre-existing password; we will create an account and email instructions to set a password. Until you do, your account may remain in a password-setup-required state.
Guardian and student linking: Guardians may purchase enrollments for linked students. You may not use guest checkout to bypass restrictions on learner-only accounts.
English proficiency: By enrolling, you certify that you are proficient in English and can comprehend written and oral instruction in English, as stated at checkout.
Course offerings are described on our public catalog and course pages. When you purchase, you enroll in a specific course section (term) with the instructor, schedule, and price shown at checkout—not a recurring membership or platform-wide subscription.
Enrollment status controls access, including:
Lesson and assignment content may be released on a drip schedule. Prerequisites, seat limits, and category (online, on-ground, hybrid, lifetime access within a section) are as displayed for each section.
Prices are shown in U.S. dollars at checkout unless otherwise stated. You authorize us and our payment processor to charge the total shown, including any applicable taxes we are required to collect.
Payment methods: Card payments are processed by Stripe. We may also record cash or check payments for manual orders administered by our office; those are subject to the same enrollment and refund rules unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Installment plans: Where offered, you may split payment into up to four installments. Each installment amount and due date is displayed before you pay. Each installment must meet any minimum amount stated at checkout. Failure to pay an installment by its due date may result in suspension of course access after a grace period (currently three calendar days past the due date for unpaid scheduled installments). Access may be restored when your account is current.
Free courses: Courses marked free may be enrolled at no charge; these Terms still apply.
Discount codes: Promotional codes are subject to their stated limits, eligibility, and expiration.
This section explains our refund rules for course purchases through Arts Atelier 146. By enrolling, you acknowledge these policies.
Due to limited seats available, there are no refunds for Arts Atelier 146 instructed courses (courses that include instructor critiques and feedback) unless we receive your refund request at least fourteen (14) days before the course start date. Please be sure you are prepared to take a course before enrolling. When you enroll, you hold a seat that cannot be purchased by another student who wants to take that course.
All approved refund transactions include a five percent (5%) non-refundable processing fee.
For courses that do not include instructor critiques or feedback, there are no course vouchers, refunds, or transfers.
If Arts Atelier 146 cancels a course, you will receive a course voucher for a future session of that course. You may instead request a full refund of amounts paid if you submit a refund request within five (5) days of our cancellation notice.
Submit a refund request through our Contact Us form. Include your full name, course name, course start date, and reason for the refund request.
You may submit assignments, uploads, quiz responses, forum posts, office messages, and profile materials ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant Arts Atelier 146 a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and use User Content solely to operate the Service, provide instruction, grade work, facilitate forums and office hours, enforce these Terms, and comply with law.
You agree that your User Content and conduct will not:
We may remove User Content, restrict forums or submissions, suspend enrollment participation, or terminate accounts for violations. Users may report forum posts; administrators review reports. Instructors and staff may grade, comment on, and retain copies of submissions for educational records.
See also our Studio Policies for classroom and studio expectations.
Course materials, videos, text, graphics, branding, software, and site content provided by Arts Atelier 146 or its licensors ("Platform Content") are protected by copyright and other laws. Except for the limited license below, we reserve all rights.
Student license: While enrolled with appropriate access status, you may view and download Platform Content only as we expressly permit for personal, non-commercial educational use in connection with your enrollment. You may not redistribute, sell, publicly perform, scrape, or create derivative works for commercial use without written permission.
Feedback: If you send suggestions or ideas, you grant us the right to use them without compensation or attribution obligation.
The Service integrates third parties such as Stripe (payments), cloud storage for uploads, Vimeo (video), email providers, and marketing tools (e.g., Kit/ConvertKit). Your use of those features may be subject to their terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party sites linked from the Service.
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, SPECIFIC GRADES, CERTIFICATION, EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES, OR THAT INSTRUCTION WILL MEET EVERY LEARNING GOAL.
Arts Atelier 146 is a Christ-centered arts education provider. Descriptions of faith integration reflect our mission; we do not provide legal, medical, or professional licensing advice through the Service.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARTS ATELIER 146 AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, INSTRUCTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE ENROLLMENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), EXCEPT WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Arts Atelier 146 and its personnel from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of others' rights.
We may suspend or terminate access immediately for breach, fraud, chargebacks, legal requirement, or risk to the community. You may deactivate your account through account settings where available; deactivation limits login but may not delete all records (see Privacy Policy). Termination or drop of enrollment ends participation rights; refunds, if any, follow Section 5 above.
We may update these Terms. We will post the revised version with a new "Last updated" date and version identifier. Material changes may be communicated by email or site notice. Checkout requires acceptance of the current version. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You agree that exclusive venue for disputes arising from these Terms or the Service lies in the state or federal courts located in Mercer County, Kentucky, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
Before filing suit, you agree to contact us and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for thirty (30) days.
These Terms, together with the incorporated policies, are the entire agreement between you and Arts Atelier 146 regarding the Service. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights without our consent; we may assign ours in connection with a merger, sale, or reorganization.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.
