Refund & Cancellation Policy

Monthly Enrollment

Enrollment in DRAMA Atelier is offered on a flexible monthly basis.

Tuition is €249 per month, or the applicable price in your local currency as displayed at checkout.

There is no introductory period, minimum enrollment duration, or long-term contractual commitment.

Your first tuition payment is charged when you enroll. Subsequent payments are automatically processed each month until you cancel your enrollment.

Cancellation

You may cancel your enrollment at any time without providing a reason.

To avoid the next monthly charge, cancellation must be submitted before your next billing date.

When you cancel, your enrollment remains active until the end of your current paid billing period. You will continue to have access to the Atelier during this time, and no further tuition payments will be charged.

You can cancel through the subscription management options provided with your enrollment or contact us at [email protected] for assistance.

Refunds

Monthly tuition provides access to DRAMA Atelier's educational content, individual feedback, live Study Classes, and other included services during the paid enrollment period.

Canceling your enrollment prevents future payments but does not automatically entitle you to a refund for the current billing period.

Payments already made are generally non-refundable unless required by applicable consumer protection laws or agreed upon in exceptional circumstances.

If you experience a billing error or believe a refund is justified, please contact us. We will review your request individually and aim to find a fair solution.

Statutory Right of Withdrawal

Where provided by applicable law, consumers have a statutory right to withdraw from their enrollment within 14 days of concluding the contract without providing a reason.

This right is separate from the regular monthly cancellation option.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, please notify us clearly of your decision at [email protected].

If you exercise a valid statutory right of withdrawal, any refund will be processed in accordance with applicable law. Where educational services have already been provided at your express request, compensation for those services may be payable to the extent legally permitted.

Nothing in this policy limits or excludes your statutory consumer rights.
