CANCELLATION POLICY:

 

Cancellations must be made in writing by email

For courses and workshops we can only provide a refund (minus a 10% admin fee) for cancellations made more than 14 days before the start date. For cancellations less than 14 days before the course or workshop there will be no refunds or transfers unless I can re sell the places that you have booked.

All clients are asked to agree to our terms and conditions upon booking a course or workshop

If a course or workshop is cancelled you will be offered a refund or a gift card to the same value of your course.

Once you have committed to a course or workshop, we recommend that you attend the scheduled number of sessions to get the most out of the programme. If the participant fails to attend all or any part of the course the full course fees are payable and we do not offer full or partial course date transfers.

COURSE CONTENT

​

We reserve the right to change the timing, date or instructor of the course in order to provide a high quality service or where it is necessary for reasons beyond our control.

 

Croft Pottery reserves the right to cancel a course up to and including the date of the course if insufficient bookings have been received and will strive to give as much notice of this as possible.

Individuals booked onto a cancelled course will be given the option of a full refund or of rescheduling to a future course date if available. Croft Pottery will not be liable for any losses or expenses arising from amendments to the course or cancellations.

 

LATE ATTENDANCE

It is to the discretion of the tutor to not accept a late arrival to a course if it is potentially detrimental to fellow students. This will be treated as a late cancellation.

​

HEALTH AND SAFETY

​

Croft Pottery takes a diligent approach to health and safety for the sake of all staff and users. Students are agreeing to abide by the guidelines of our Health & Safety instructed by tutors. Repeated failure to do so will result in immediate termination of course without refund.

Health & Safety

It is important that everyone respects all Health & Safety regulations, signage, equipment, the building, Croft Pottery Staff, Other class members, and local residents.

 

Main points:

 

Croft Pottery cannot be held responsible for any injuries caused through the misuse of the studio or equipment.

If you are unsure of anything regarding Health & Safety please ask your teacher or a member of staff.

Croft Pottery or teachers are not responsible for any damage caused to work and are not responsible for any work, belongings or money going missing or getting stolen.

 

TECHNICAL ISSUES AND BREAKAGES

​

Experienced and trained staff only will handle and fire your ceramic work. However, by the nature of ceramics there is always a risk of technical failure for which we cannot be held responsible.

 

COLLECTION OF WORKS

​

You will be emailed when your pieces are ready for collection, usually this is within three weeks after the last date of your course, but this can take longer depending on our kiln firing scheduling.

We recommend you collect your finished work as soon as possible once you have received the pickup instructions via email to help keep our storage area clear, therefore avoiding damage.

If finished ceramic work is not collected within 1 month of the pick up email being sent out, we will sadly have to dispose of it due to space issues, this is detailed in the pick up email. Alternatively you can organise for your pots to be sent to you at an additional cost.

 

DATA PROTECTION

Any personal information you give to us will be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. We will use the information to process your booking, to provide the course and to inform you about similar courses which we provide, unless you tell us that you do not want to receive this information. Any personal data you provide may be held on computer files.
