4. Payment Terms and Conditions

Fees, pricing, taxes, and payment methods will be disclosed at the time of booking, purchase, or registration, or otherwise made available by Northline Drawing Atelier. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

If a payment is reversed, charged back, or disputed without valid basis, we reserve the right to suspend your access to services and recover any associated costs, to the extent permitted by law.

5. Cancellation and Refund Policy

Our cancellation and refund policy applies subject to any mandatory consumer protection laws in Ontario and Canada. If a more specific policy is provided at the time of booking, registration, or purchase, that policy will apply in addition to these Terms.

• Studio cancellations: If we cancel a class, workshop, or session, we may, at our discretion and subject to applicable law, offer a reschedule, credit, or refund.
• Private lessons: Private lesson cancellations may require advance notice. Failure to provide sufficient notice may result in forfeiture of the session fee.
• Refund processing: Approved refunds, if any, will generally be issued to the original payment method within a reasonable period.

We may deny refunds where services have already been delivered, where materials have been provided, where a participant has violated these Terms, or where the request is otherwise inconsistent with applicable law or a stated booking policy.

In the event of force majeure, we may, at our discretion and subject to applicable law, reschedule services, provide credits, modify delivery methods, or cancel affected services without liability beyond any remedies required by law.
