No Refunds for Partially Attended Courses
There will be no refunds for partially attended courses. If you decide that the course is not for you after attending part of it, you will not be eligible for a refund. We encourage you to make sure the course is right for you before booking.
Machinery and Equipment
Ready Steady Sew is not liable for missed sessions due to faulty equipment, including sewing machines. We recommend checking that your machine is in good working order before the course begins, and we suggest getting it serviced ahead of time to avoid any issues during the course.
However, we have machines available to borrow upon request if you'd like to use one during your class. Please let us know in advance so we can ensure availability.
Late Arrival or Early Departure
Please arrive on time for your class. Important information is shared at the beginning of each session, and late arrivals may miss out on crucial content. While our tutor will do their best to help you catch up, please note that due to the nature of the class, this may be difficult.
Lateness can also disrupt the flow of the class, particularly if there is a class on in our downstairs classroom, so please be considerate of others. We recommend arriving 5 minutes before the start of the class to set up your work station and make a hot drink. Please avoid arriving more than 5 minutes early, as we may be teaching another class or our tutors may be on their break.
Force Majeure
Ready Steady Sew will not be held responsible for cancellations or rescheduling due to force majeure events such as natural disasters, public health emergencies, or government regulations. Affected participants will be offered the option to reschedule their course.
Course Cancellation by Us
We reserve the right to:
-
Amend or cancel courses
-
Change the course location (though this is unlikely)
-
Modify the course structure or content
In the event of a course cancellation, we will do our best to give participants one week's notice, however sometimes it may be less. You’ll have the option to either transfer to the next available course or receive a full refund. Please note, Ready Steady Sew is not liable for any losses (including fabric, notions, or travel/accommodation costs) resulting from course cancellations.
