1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Rockwall Arts Academy, a creative learning platform dedicated to helping students explore artistic skills, develop their imagination, and build confidence through art education. These Terms and Conditions explain the rules, responsibilities, and general guidelines that apply when you visit our website, enquire about our courses, register for classes, or participate in our educational activities. By using this website or requesting our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these terms and agree to follow the applicable conditions described on this page. Our academy offers learning opportunities across Drawing and Sketching, Painting Techniques, Sculpture Art, Creative Crafts, Digital Illustration, and Printmaking. Course availability, teaching formats, schedules, and learning requirements may vary depending on the programme selected. If you are a parent or legal guardian arranging classes for a minor, you are responsible for reviewing these terms and helping the student understand the relevant expectations. If you do not agree with these conditions, please discontinue use of the website and contact our team for clarification before proceeding with a course enquiry or enrolment.

2. Art Courses and Educational Services

Rockwall Arts Academy provides art education intended to support creative exploration, practical skill development, and a deeper understanding of artistic techniques across different mediums. Our course offerings may include Drawing and Sketching, Painting Techniques, Sculpture Art, Creative Crafts, Digital Illustration, and Printmaking, with individual programmes designed around specific learning objectives and skill levels. Course descriptions displayed on the website are intended to provide a general overview of the subjects, activities, and skills that students may explore during their learning experience. The exact topics, materials, class duration, instructional approach, and project requirements may differ between courses and batches. We may adjust teaching methods, learning activities, or course arrangements when reasonably necessary to maintain educational quality and accommodate practical requirements. Enquiries about a course do not automatically guarantee a confirmed place, a particular instructor, or a preferred schedule. Students and guardians should review the relevant course information and clarify any questions about suitability, required materials, accessibility, or class arrangements before confirming enrolment. We aim to provide a supportive learning environment while recognising that individual progress depends on practice, participation, and personal learning goals.

3. Course Enquiries and Enrolment

Students and parents may use the contact and course enquiry forms on the Rockwall Arts Academy website to request information about available programmes, teaching formats, schedules, fees, and enrolment procedures. Submitting an enquiry is a request for information and does not, by itself, confirm admission, reserve a seat, or create a guaranteed place in a particular class. Enrolment is considered confirmed only after the academy communicates the applicable acceptance and any required registration or payment steps have been completed. Prospective students should provide accurate contact details and relevant information so that our team can respond appropriately to their requests. Parents or legal guardians should submit enquiries and make arrangements on behalf of minors where necessary. Course places may be limited, and availability can depend on class capacity, instructor schedules, required facilities, and the suitability of the selected programme. If a preferred batch is unavailable, alternative dates or arrangements may be offered where possible. Students should review all information supplied during the enrolment process and contact the academy promptly if they notice an error or need clarification about their selected course, schedule, or participation requirements.

4. Course Fees and Payment Conditions

The fees applicable to each art course, workshop, or educational programme will be communicated through the relevant course information or directly by Rockwall Arts Academy before enrolment is finalised. The total cost may depend on the selected course, programme duration, class format, included materials, workshop requirements, or other clearly communicated arrangements. Students should review the applicable fees and confirm what is included before making a payment or committing to a course. Where materials, equipment, printing, specialist supplies, or additional learning resources are not included in the course fee, this should be clarified before enrolment wherever applicable. Payments must be made through the methods and within the timelines communicated by the academy. Any additional charges must be disclosed before the student agrees to the relevant service or purchase. Students should retain payment confirmations or receipts for their records and contact the academy if a payment appears incorrect or cannot be verified. Fees, instalment arrangements, and payment deadlines should be confirmed individually when they are not specified on the website. No payment should be treated as refundable or non refundable unless the applicable policy has been clearly communicated and agreed upon.

5. Cancellations, Withdrawals, and Refunds

Rockwall Arts Academy understands that students may occasionally need to cancel an enrolment, withdraw from a course, or request a change to their class arrangements. Students or guardians should contact the academy as early as possible when a cancellation, withdrawal, or schedule change is required. The eligibility for a refund, transfer, rescheduled session, or other adjustment depends on the specific course conditions and the cancellation policy communicated before enrolment. Any applicable deadlines, administrative charges, material costs, or deductions should be explained clearly before the student confirms a booking or payment. Refund requests should include sufficient information to identify the relevant course and payment so that the academy can review the matter accurately. If the academy needs to cancel or substantially change a class because of instructor availability, facility issues, insufficient enrolment, or circumstances beyond its reasonable control, it will communicate the available alternatives where possible. These may include a replacement session, rescheduling, transfer, or refund in accordance with the applicable course policy. Students should not assume that missed classes automatically qualify for refunds or replacement sessions unless such arrangements have been expressly agreed upon. All cancellation and refund requests will be considered according to the terms disclosed for the relevant programme and applicable law.

6. Student Conduct and Responsibilities

Every student participating in Rockwall Arts Academy activities is expected to contribute to a respectful, inclusive, and constructive learning environment. Students should follow reasonable instructions provided by instructors, respect other participants, and use classroom facilities, equipment, tools, and learning materials responsibly. Harassment, bullying, intimidation, discriminatory behaviour, deliberate disruption, or intentional damage to academy property will not be accepted. Students are encouraged to participate actively, practise the techniques introduced during lessons, complete assigned projects where applicable, and ask questions when they need additional guidance. Artistic ability develops at different rates, and students should respect the individual progress, creative choices, and learning needs of others. Students must follow relevant safety instructions when using drawing tools, paints, sculpting materials, printing equipment, digital devices, or other supplies. Parents and guardians should ensure that younger students understand age appropriate classroom rules and any supervision requirements communicated by the academy. Where serious or repeated misconduct occurs, the academy may take reasonable steps to address the situation, including contacting a parent or guardian, restricting participation in an activity, or reviewing continued enrolment in accordance with applicable policies and law.

7. Artwork, and Intellectual Property

Original artwork created by students generally remains the intellectual property of the student who created it, subject to applicable law and any separate written agreement. Rockwall Arts Academy respects individual creativity and expects students to respect the rights of other artists, instructors, and content creators. Course materials, instructional documents, original demonstrations, lesson plans, website text, graphics, logos, and other academy-created resources may be protected by copyright or other intellectual property laws. These resources are provided for personal educational use unless broader permission is expressly granted. Students should not reproduce, distribute, sell, publish, or commercially exploit protected course materials without the relevant permission. When completing projects, students should avoid copying another person's work and should acknowledge external references where appropriate. Photographs or digital copies of student artwork may be shared by the student at their discretion, subject to any applicable third party rights. The academy will obtain appropriate permission before using identifiable student artwork or images for promotional purposes where consent is required. For minors, permission should be obtained from a parent or legal guardian where applicable. Students who believe their work has been used without authorisation may contact the academy to discuss the concern.

8. Art Materials, and Safety Guidelines

Art education may involve the use of pencils, brushes, paints, adhesives, sculpting tools, cutting instruments, printing materials, electronic devices, and other equipment appropriate to the selected course. Students must use these materials only for their intended educational purpose and follow the safety guidance provided by instructors. Any age restrictions, protective equipment requirements, ventilation instructions, handling precautions, or supervision conditions communicated for a particular activity must be followed. Students or guardians should inform the academy before participation if there are relevant material sensitivities, accessibility requirements, or other considerations that could affect safe involvement in a class. Students must not bring hazardous, prohibited, or unsuitable materials into the learning environment without prior approval. Personal tools and equipment remain the student's responsibility unless the academy has expressly agreed otherwise. Any accidental damage, unsafe condition, or equipment malfunction should be reported promptly to an instructor or authorised representative. The academy will take reasonable steps to maintain a suitable learning environment, but students are also responsible for following instructions and using equipment carefully. Participation in practical art activities requires reasonable care, and students should ask for assistance whenever they are uncertain about the safe use of a material or tool.

9. Enquiry Information, and Privacy

The Rockwall Arts Academy website is provided to help visitors learn about our creative programmes, explore available courses, and contact the academy with relevant questions. Visitors agree to use the website lawfully and refrain from activities that could disrupt its operation, compromise its security, misrepresent their identity, or infringe the rights of others.

10. Limitations, and Contact Information

Rockwall Arts Academy aims to provide helpful course information and a positive creative learning experience, but specific artistic results cannot be guaranteed because progress depends on individual practice, experience, attendance, and learning needs. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the academy is not responsible for losses arising from circumstances outside its reasonable control, unauthorised use of website content, or a student's failure to follow communicated instructions, without limiting any rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded. Nothing in these terms is intended to remove consumer rights or other protections that apply under relevant law. The academy may make reasonable changes to its website content, course descriptions, class schedules, teaching arrangements, or these Terms and Conditions when necessary for operational, educational, or legal reasons. Material changes affecting confirmed enrolments will be communicated where required or reasonably appropriate. Continued use of the website after a change takes effect indicates acceptance of the revised terms only to the extent permitted by applicable law. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply where legally possible. If you have questions about these terms, a course, a payment, or an enrolment arrangement, please contact Rockwall Arts Academy through the contact details provided on our website before proceeding.
