- offer tickets to another upcoming session;
- credit the value of the purchase for future use;
You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any breach of a third-party contract or any supplier contract to the events, including to the extent that this means that any part of the event may not proceed (for example, an entertainer is unable to attend).
Guest cancellation
Public (ticketed) events
Bookings can be cancelled or rescheduled for a $25 non-negotiable fee* per transaction up to 48 hours before a scheduled session time.
If cancelling or rescheduling within that 48-hour window, a $25 non-negotiable fee* per ticket will be applied.
​
For bookings of 6+ tickets, there will be a $25 non-negotiable fee per ticket to cancel or reschedule at any time.
When rescheduling, the customer will need to choose the next most convenient session date that is available, or A Painter's Dream can provide a credit towards a future booking (minus the rebooking fee).
Important: we are very strict on 'no shows.' If a customer does not show up for the class, we'll still charge the full amount. We are unable to refund, reschedule, or provide credit for a missed session.
​
Private function events
If the full amount has been paid & there is more than 2 weeks before the session date, we can reschedule your private function to another date that is suitable for yourself & also the A Painter's Dream venues.
We are unable to refund or reschedule private functions within the 2 weeks before your session date. The full amount will be forfeited. We hope this never has to happen.
