3. FEES, CANCELLATION, & RESCHEDULING
3.1 Once we have confirmed your party date, you will be sent a time-sensitive reservation link. You are required to pay the base fee deposit via this link within 36 hours in order to secure your party date and time. If payment is not made within this timeframe, your party date will become available to the public once more.
3.2 The base fee is *non-refundable. If you cancel the Service or if some/all of the participants do not attend your party you will not be refunded the base fee. The base fee includes up to 6 participants and up to 1.5 to 2 hours of instruction/creative time (depending on your selected art party option). If you have fewer than 6 participants, you are still required to pay the base fee. If you have selected the Birthday Party Add-On option, this additional *non-refundable fee will be added to the base fee deposit and will also be due in full upon reservation.
*The only exception when it comes to refunding the base fee is if the Studio cancels your Service, in which case you will be refunded the base fee in full.
3.3 If you have more than 6 participants, additional participant fees will apply (varies depending on your selected art party option). Additional Participant Fees will be due in full the day the Service is provided before the party ends.
3.4 We require your total participant number a minimum of 10 days before your Service date. This will ensure Rose is able to purchase adequate art materials! *Depending on Studio inventory, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests for additional participants. Please don't hesitate to ask!
3.5 The Service is capped at 9 participants for in-Studio art parties.
3.6 If you need to reschedule your Service, please let us know a minimum of 14 days before your original Service date to avoid being charged a rescheduling fee.

4.1 The hosting adult is welcome to remain in the Studio for the duration of the art activity to provide group supervision. We ask that no more than two non-participating adults remain. There is no additional cost for non-participating adults. Alternatively, you are welcome to drop-off and pick-up the children; however, we require the parent of each participant fill out our Participant Enrolment Form prior to the party date so that we have important contact and medical information on hand.

Rose will do her best to bring late-arriving participants up to speed, however, please note that instructions for said participants will be condensed so as to fulfill overall instructions for the group within the reserved time period.
6.2 Please note, every artist creates at a unique pace and it is common for some participants to not finish their art piece within 1.5 hours. If Rose's schedule permits, you are welcome to extend the Service hours to accommodate late finishers. Additional time is charged at $30/30-minute increment + HST and will be due in full the day the Service is provided before the party ends.
