You will be invoiced following the commencement of the course/sessions. Fees are to be paid into our bank account, which we will provide in the invoice.

Fees must be paid within 2 weeks of the invoice due date or interest at 5% per annum will be charged for every week or part thereof that payment is late.

1.4 Refunds. There will be no obligation to refund if the child has taken part in the class in any form. If a child misses a session, the Academy is not obligated to refund it. If your child completely withdraws from the course, we will refund you for any classes not yet attended.

1.5 Video & photography. Recording students and their work is part of how the Academy runs its programme — including online workshops, showcases, and our moderated platform — and is necessary for us to deliver classes safely and effectively.

By enrolling your child and accepting these Terms, you consent to and authorise the Academy (including its contractors engaged for this purpose) to photograph, film, or otherwise record your child and their work during classes and anything they may share on our online servers/platform. These recordings may be used by or on behalf of Egg Academy, including for the purposes of newsletters, flyers, information sheets, presentations, social media, on the Internet (including the Academy's website) and other media. Recordings may, at our discretion, be provided to Students so that they have a memento of their participation. You also irrevocably consent to all acts and omissions of the Academy and its nominees, which may otherwise infringe any of your child's moral rights (as that term is defined in the Copyright Act 1994) e.g. where it is not convenient to do so, we may not attribute work to your child.

We do not publish students' full names publicly unless explicitly permitted by the primary guardian or the child if the child is 18 years or older.

If you do not consent to recording on these terms, you must not enrol your child or must withdraw them from the programme. Recording on these terms is a condition of participation in Egg Academy classes.
