Terms and Conditions


The following terms and conditions apply to any transaction or contact between yourself and The Painting Pot, Selby for the sale and purchase of items or experiences contained in your basket or purchased via email, phone or in person. The terms do not affect your statutory rights.


Note: ’experiences’ refers to classes, courses, pottery painting, workshops or any other activity organised by The Painting Pot.


GENERAL


To ensure the safety of our customers and staff we may be required to make changes to how our experiences are run. We are committed to being responsive and vigilant. We will continue to regularly monitor advice from Public Health England and the UK government and take the necessary action to help us all stay safe.


You must comply with all rules and regulations issued by us and please pay particular attention to any requirements as to dress or the wearing of protective equipment.


Disruptive, abusive, or inappropriate behaviour, language or threatening behaviour towards staff or other customers will result in you being asked to leave the studio. Any payments already made to The Painting Pot will not be reimbursed in this event.


The number of 'non painters' in each group is restricted to two per booking. Please note, we may not be able to provide seating for non-painters at busy times.



BOOKINGS AND PAYMENT


Event bookings are subject to full payment as set out on the Painting Pot website.


Online payment is by PayPal only. All card payments made over the telephone are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, your order will not be accepted, and The Painting Pot will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.


AGE RESTRICTIONS


Although pottery painting is suitable for all age groups, children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times whilst in the studio or whilst attending events organised by The Painting Pot at other venues.


Alcohol is only permitted on the premises for private bookings and adult evening events. Alcohol will not be permitted on the premises at events where children (under 18 years) are present.


EXPERIENCES


The terms of The Painting Pot price list and these terms and conditions constitute the terms of the legally binding contract between you, the customer, and The Painting Pot.


Bookings are for a specific start, finish, and time duration. If you do not attend on a punctual basis, we cannot guarantee that you will receive your full experience.


We do not offer provisional bookings; all bookings must be confirmed by payment otherwise we cannot guarantee that your booking will go ahead. If your date of choice is fully booked, you will be offered the next available date.


CANCELLATIONS


Our cancellation policy is designed to give customers the freedom to amend an event booking without penalty when enough notice is given, but we have some conditions around short notice cancellations which have an impact on other customers and our business. We will always try to help where possible within the limits of our business. Please read our terms of cancellation carefully.


Note: We strongly advise that customers have a suitable travel/activity insurance policy in place that can provide cover for common issues such as ill health or travel disruption.


TERMS OF CANCELLATION


All cancellation requests (for workshops and all other events) must be sent in writing by email to enquiries@thepaintingpot.com. If you have not received an email confirmation within 5 working days, please contact us on 01757 704784. Unless you have received a written acknowledgement from us that we have received your request, you cannot consider your booking cancelled.


Note: all cancellation terms also apply to event bookings made when redeeming a voucher from The Painting Pot. 


BOOKING CANCELLATIONS MORE THAN 14 DAYS BEFORE BOOKED ACTIVITY


You may request a change of dates up to 14 days prior to your event booking and we will happily transfer your event to another date subject to availability without cost.


You may request a refund up to 14 days before your event.


BOOKING CANCELLATIONS WITHIN 14 DAYS OF BOOKED ACTIVITY


Cancellations received within 14 days of the course/event start date – payments are non-refundable.


However, you can transfer/sell the booking to another person free of charge if you notify us.


If a person who is booked in for an experience fails to attend for any reason, they will not be entitled to a refund or a re-booking.


We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, vary our cancellation policy and we may ask for documentary evidence to make this decision. Any refunds awarded at this stage will be subject to an administration fee.


VOUCHERS


Vouchers are valid for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase and cannot be redeemed after the expiry date.


E-vouchers are provided free of charge to the email address provided at point of purchase. There are additional costs associated with a postal voucher. Such costs are added and shall be paid at the point of purchase. Please allow up to 7 days for delivery of a postal gift voucher.

Vouchers are non-refundable other than within the 14-day cancellation period as per the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. No change or credit will be given should the voucher value exceed the total cost of the experience – for example where a £100 voucher is used to purchase a £95 experience. Vouchers cannot be exchanged for cash. Lost, stolen, or destroyed gift vouchers will not be exchanged or refunded.


Vouchers can be used for part or full payment of any experience or to purchase products from The Painting Pot. If the cost exceeds the amount of the gift voucher, the balance must be paid in full at the point of booking.

We cannot be held liable for any third-party costs, such as travel bookings or accommodation.


FORCE MAJEURE


If The Painting Pot is forced to close due to circumstances outside our control (including but not limited to a pandemic, epidemic, or adverse weather conditions), customers will be offered a voucher to the value of the booking that had to be cancelled.
