Terms of Service

Acceptance and Modification of Terms

By creating an account, enrolling in courses, or using any of our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Hikari Canvas Studio.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website and updating the effective date. Your continued use of our services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

Account Registration and Eligibility

To access certain features of our services, you must create an account by providing accurate, current, and complete information. You must be at least 16 years of age to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that you have obtained parental or guardian consent to use our services.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in fraudulent or harmful activities.

Membership Plans and Enrollment

Hikari Canvas Studio offers various membership plans and individual courses. By enrolling in a membership or course, you agree to pay all applicable fees as described at the time of purchase. Membership fees are billed on a recurring basis according to the plan you select, and courses may be offered as one-time purchases or limited-duration enrollments.

All fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in our refund policy. We reserve the right to change our pricing and membership benefits at any time, with notice to existing members. Price changes will not affect your current billing cycle but will apply to subsequent renewals.

Payment Terms and Billing

You agree to provide valid payment information and authorize us to charge your payment method for all fees incurred under your account. Payments are processed securely through third-party payment processors. If a payment fails, we may suspend your access to paid features until payment is received.

You are responsible for all applicable taxes associated with your purchase. We will charge applicable taxes where required by law. If you believe you have been incorrectly charged, please contact us within 30 days of the charge.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

You may cancel your membership at any time through your account settings. Cancellations will take effect at the end of your current billing period, and you will retain access to membership benefits until that time. No refunds will be provided for partial billing periods.

For individual courses, we offer a 7-day refund period from the date of purchase, provided you have not completed more than 25% of the course content. Refund requests must be submitted in writing to our customer support team. Refunds will be processed within 10 business days of approval.

Live Class Participation Guidelines

Live classes are an integral part of our services. By participating in live classes, you agree to respect instructors and fellow students, arrive on time, and actively engage in the learning experience. Recording live classes without permission is strictly prohibited.
