Any change in these terms of use is effective immediately upon User's receipt of notice from AnimationWorkshops. Notice can be given through e-mail or posting on the Site. Users agree to periodically check these terms of use for changes. Any use of the Site after changes have been made shall be deemed acceptance of those changed terms of use.

4. Authorized Use.

AnimationWorkshops hereby grants to You a non-exclusive license to use and Access the content and information available at the CBT according to the provisions contained herein and subject to the payment of the applicable tuition and fees and adherence to the terms of the this Agreement.

5. Fees.

The rights granted under this Agreement are effective only upon payment of the tuition and fees, which are non-refundable other than as expressly provided here or in the current AnimationWorkshops catalog, provided at AnimationWorkshops.com. The term "monthly subscription" is defined as any 30 day period. The term "term" is defined as an 11-week period of instruction between the dates outlined in the current official AnimationWorkshops site, on the Policies page.

Each course lasts a term of 11 weeks. Prices are listed in U.S. dollars. If Users do not pass a class, AnimationWorkshops strongly recommends they retake that course (at their own expense) before continuing to a more advanced workshop.
There is a one-time application fee of $125, which is non-refundable under most scenarios.
Users must supply their own computer hardware and 3D animation software.
  1. For Users paying monthly, their access to the service will be automatically renewed upon expiration of the initial month, until the registered Workshop ends unless the User registers for additional workshops, in which case the monthly charges continue.
  2. For Users paying per term, their access is granted for the current term. To register for classes for the upcoming term, Users pay for that next term.
Refunds, Withdrawal, Cancellation
After registering for a workshop, Users have three business days to change their mind and withdraw from the Workshop.
They are eligible for a full refund of workshop fees paid, including the otherwise non-refundable registration fee.
After the three day period, Users may withdraw before they participate in Animation Workshop classes until one week before classes begin, for a full refund, minus the non-refundable registration fee.
Users registering for a workshop in a term need to stay with the class during that term, regardless of how their schedules change, or their situations otherwise change. When they enroll in a term, they should be sure that they can fully commit, and complete that term. Users should be sure to have the time and resources to fully participate for the 11 weeks. If unsure about their ability to participate, Users have until just before the term begins to withdraw.
At any point in a term: Once enrolled in a term, Useres have until that term begins to opt out. During the first week of a term, Users can withdraw from the term or Workshop but because Animation Workshops has already employed their instructors for the term, Users are obligated to pay 1/3 of the cost for the term, even if they cannot participate in the term.
After the first week of a term ends, 11:59pm Saturday Mountain Time, or after having accessed or downloaded the animation rigs or class materials for the workshop, Users can withdraw but are obligated to pay 2/3 of the agreed-upon fees for the term.
While a term is underway, after the first week, Users wanting to switch out of a term and re-enter next term may do that, but as stated will forfeit at minimum 2/3 of the tuition for that term. If it is beyond the 7th week of the term, there is no credit issued; the full cost is charged.
At any point during a term, Users may withdraw from an Animation Workshop. Regardless of the payment method, Users are obligated to pay for that term’s fee, according to the policies described. If they have paid for the term already, (after the first week) they may be eligible for a maximum refund of 1/3 of the cost for the term, minus a $75 withdrawal fee. (If it is beyond the 7th week of the term, there is no credit issued). (This assumes additional class sessions were not attended after the withdrawal request). Registration or other fees will not be refunded. Withdrawal can be initiated by emailing: admin@animationworkshops.com with a clear request for withdrawal. Any cancellation or withdrawal refund payments will be issued within 60 days.
Refunds are calculated based on the term week of the stated withdrawal request (assuming no additional classes were attended after the request or Site assets accessed or downloaded), beginning Sunday midnight and ending Saturday before midnight Mountain Time, communicated via email.
Payments
New Users must pay before the term begins, in order to enroll. Enrolled Users must keep their payments current to maintain status at Animation Workshops and retain access to the User website and assets. To register in a particular class for the following term, existing Users must be current with their fees.
Existing Users must pay for the upcoming term by the 25th of the month before classes start. Users who fail to pay within 7 days of that date will be subject to a $35 late fee and have their access restricted to the User website. Users should then call or email the Payments Department, at payments@animationworkshops.com to bring their account current and resume active status. If Users need to arrange a different due date, the Payments Department can work with them as long as it is within the seven day grace period. Existing Users who fail to pay for the current term must contact the Payments Department and arrange payment to avoid having their account suspended.
Users on the monthly payment option must maintain a valid credit or debit card on the account. Monthly payments will be withdrawn automatically on the 25th of each month. If a card is declined during the attempt at processing, the User will be notified by email and they will have seven days to make a manual payment on the Animation Workshops website, or be assessed a $35 late fee. If Users need to arrange a different date for the automatic payment, the Payments Department can arrange that as long as it is within the seven day grace period. Following the seven days, monthly payment Users must contact the Payments Department at payments@animationworkshops.com to arrange payment and avoid having their account suspended.
Users paying monthly must pay a Class Deposit, which is equal to the monthly fee payment amount. This deposit is due at the time Users register for a class. The first monthly tuition payment will be then be due the 25th of the month before classes start, regardless of the time between payments. The 2nd payment will be due the 25th of the following month, and the Class Deposit will then be credited to the last month of the term or last month of workshop participation. If Users get that deposit refunded, then wish to take another workshop the following term, they will need to pay another Class Deposit. A $35 late fee will be assessed if any of these payments are not paid within seven days of the payment due date. If Users need to arrange a different date for the automatic payment, the Payments Department can arrange that as long as it is within the seven day grace period. Following the seven days, monthly payment Users must contact the Payments Department at payments@animationworkshops.com to arrange payment and avoid having their account suspended.
