General Terms & Conditions

1. Enrolment

Enrolments must be made through the online registration form.

After registering online, you will receive an email with payment and class details. If you do not receive this email, you have not booked.

Enrolment in a class is confirmed once full payment is received, given that we meet our class minimums to be able to run it. If we do not meet the required numbers and need to cancel a class, we may do so at any time and offer you a full refund or the option to transfer to another class.

   2. Payment & Enrolment confirmation

Spaces in classes & workshops being limited, the participant’s spot is confirmed upon full payment no later thant 2 weeks before the start of the class.

Please note that we reserve the right to cancel a participant’s booking/offer the spot to another participant if the class is not paid by the due date.

3. Cancellation Policy 

Minimum Enrollment Requirement
All our classes and workshops run with a minimum number of participants to be financially viable. Regretably, we may be forced to cancel a class/workshop in the event of not meeting that number. In this situation, the participant will be offered a full refund or the option to transfer to an upcoming class/workshop.

If, due to illness, the tutor must cancel a class/workshop, the student will be offered a make up class/workshop at a suitable time to be discussed.

Participant cancellation

By enrolling and paying for a class, you agree with these Terms & Conditions. All classes & workshops are non refundable, however:

• we will provide a refund minus an admin fee of $20 ($10 if the class' cost is less than $60) if we are notified in writing at least 7 days prior to the class/workshop start, or

• the participant will be offered to transfer to another class, space permitting, or

• the participant may transfer/gift the class to a friend - the participant is entirely responsible for finding a replacement person and to inform Atelier 171 of this person’s details

No show: Participants who do not come to their booked sessions will not be offered a refund for the missed sessions.

We cannot issue a refund or a transfer if you cancel less than 7 days in advance or once the class/workshop has started.

   5. School holiday workshops

If a student cannot make a holiday class and does not provide notice of at least one week, unfortunately, we cannot provide any refund or credit. If you are able to give us at least one week notice, a credit or exchange can be provided.

Sewing projects may be altered to suit a student better and in order to provide a fun learning experience. 

6. Sewing Club 

By purchasing a Sewing Club card you agree that:

• due to the flexible nature of the concession card, Atelier 171 does not provide a refund for the sessions purchased

• if you are unable to attend the remaining sessions on your card, you may transfer the card to someone who would like to attend the sessions (please note the card holder is responsible to finding a person to transfer the card to)

• if you wish to transfer the card to someone else, please let Atelier 171 know the details of that person so we can welcome the new Sewing Club member at the studio

   7. Safety 

Students must be able to tie long hair up for machine safety reasons. Closed shoes are also recommended around the sewing room.

If a student is being overly disruptive to the class, putting themselves or others at risk of injury, we reserve the right to remove them from the class.

   8. Assumption of Risk

The student acknowledges and agrees that they are voluntarily participating in the sewing class and assume all risks associated with the activity. The student acknowledges that there are inherent risks associated with sewing and using sewing equipment, including the risk of cuts, burns, or other injuries.
