TERMS OF ENROLLMENT
DRAMA – Dzimirsky Realism Art Master Atelier
Effective Date: 18 October 2026
1. About DRAMA
DRAMA is the online Atelier of hyperrealist artist Dirk Dzimirsky, dedicated to the study of realistic and hyperrealistic drawing through the Dzimirsky Drawing Method.
The Atelier provides structured education in graphite and charcoal drawing through progressive lessons, practical exercises, assignments, individual feedback, live Study Classes, and guided artistic projects.
DRAMA is designed as an environment for ongoing artistic study rather than an unrestricted collection of online courses.
The objective is to help students develop their drawing skills, artistic understanding, and individual creative expression.
DRAMA does not provide vocational training or a professional qualification.
2. Enrollment
Enrollment in DRAMA Atelier is offered on a flexible monthly basis.
Students pay a monthly tuition fee of €249, or the applicable price in their local currency as displayed at checkout.
Enrollment begins upon successful payment of the first month's tuition and provides access to the educational services and resources included in the Atelier.
There is no long-term contractual commitment.
Enrollment automatically renews each month unless canceled by the student.
Students may cancel their enrollment at any time before their next monthly renewal. Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period, during which access to the Atelier remains available.
Further information regarding tuition, renewal, cancellation, and statutory consumer rights is provided in Sections 8 and 9.
3. Curriculum Structure
DRAMA offers structured learning paths in graphite and charcoal drawing, each divided into four progressive levels.
Students advance by completing assignments and demonstrating an understanding of the principles and techniques taught.
Access to advanced training may be released progressively as students complete the required work.
Upon enrollment, students receive an individual study roadmap based on their previous experience, current drawing abilities, and artistic goals.
Experienced artists may begin at a more advanced level following an assessment of their existing skills.
As students progress, they are encouraged to apply their knowledge to their own artistic projects.
4. Student Expectations
DRAMA is designed for students committed to regular practice and artistic development.
Students are expected to practise consistently, complete assignments carefully, submit their own work for review, apply feedback, and repeat exercises or assignments where necessary.
Students are encouraged to follow their recommended study roadmap.
There is no fixed minimum number of weekly practice hours.
Advancement through the curriculum is based on demonstrated understanding and ability rather than time spent enrolled in the Atelier.
5. Individual Feedback
Individual feedback is an integral part of studying at DRAMA.
Students submit completed assignments for review by DRAMA instructors.
Feedback identifies demonstrated skills, areas requiring improvement, and recommended next steps.
Students may be asked to revise and resubmit assignments before progressing to more advanced training.
Students may also receive feedback on their personal drawing projects, either in writing or during live feedback sessions.
Feedback represents educational guidance based on the professional judgment of Dirk Dzimirsky and the DRAMA teaching team.
Students remain responsible for applying the guidance they receive through independent practice.
6. Live Study Classes and Atelier Activities
DRAMA provides scheduled live Study Classes and feedback sessions to support the curriculum.
These sessions may include drawing demonstrations, assignment reviews, individual critiques, discussions of drawing techniques, and opportunities to ask questions.
Study Classes are intended to complement the structured curriculum rather than replace independent study.
Live Study Classes are normally recorded and made available to enrolled students.
The schedule and format of live sessions may change as the Atelier develops, provided that the agreed educational services are not materially diminished.
Separate workshops, standalone masterclasses, and individual mentoring programs are not included in regular enrollment unless explicitly stated otherwise.
7. Atelier Development
DRAMA is an evolving educational Atelier.
Lessons, assignments, demonstrations, educational resources, and other learning materials may be added, updated, reorganized, or replaced to improve the quality of instruction.
Such changes form part of the normal development of the Atelier.
Changes will be made in accordance with applicable law and must not unjustifiably diminish the educational services agreed upon at enrollment.
8. Tuition, Renewals and Cancellation
8.1 Monthly Tuition
Regular tuition for DRAMA Atelier is €249 per month.
Depending on the student's country, payments may be processed in a local currency at the price established for that market.
The final price, currency, applicable taxes, and payment schedule are displayed during checkout.
Tuition provides access to the Atelier's educational content and services for the respective paid billing period.
8.2 Billing and Automatic Renewal
The first tuition payment is charged upon enrollment.
Subsequent payments are processed automatically at monthly intervals according to the billing schedule established at checkout.
Enrollment continues on a monthly basis until canceled.
No new fixed-term commitment is created through automatic renewal.
8.3 Cancellation
Students may cancel their enrollment at any time without providing a reason.
Cancellation must be submitted before the next monthly payment is processed to prevent renewal for another billing period.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period.
Students retain access to the Atelier until that date.
No further tuition payments will be charged after an effective cancellation, except for amounts that were already due before cancellation.
There is no additional contractual notice period beyond the current monthly billing period.
8.4 How to Cancel
Students may cancel their enrollment using the cancellation function provided on the DRAMA website or through the available subscription management options.
Cancellation requests may also be submitted by email to:
Students do not need to provide a reason for ordinary cancellation.
Cancellation requests will be acknowledged electronically, and students will receive confirmation of the applicable termination date.
Any statutory requirements concerning electronic cancellation facilities remain applicable.
8.5 Refunds Following Ordinary Cancellation
Canceling an enrollment prevents future monthly renewals but does not automatically entitle the student to a refund for the current paid billing period.
Tuition already paid for an ongoing billing period is generally non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law or agreed upon by DRAMA.
This does not affect statutory withdrawal rights, mandatory termination rights, or other consumer-protection provisions.
Students experiencing exceptional circumstances may contact DRAMA to discuss their situation.
DRAMA may agree to refunds or other arrangements on an individual basis.
8.6 Statutory Cancellation Rights
All mandatory statutory cancellation and termination rights remain unaffected.
The more flexible monthly cancellation arrangement described in these Terms remains available to students regardless of whether additional statutory termination rights apply.
The right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected.
9. Statutory Right of Withdrawal and Refunds
9.1 Fourteen-Day Right of Withdrawal
Students who enroll as consumers generally have a statutory right to withdraw from their enrollment contract within 14 days, where applicable law provides such a right.
The withdrawal period normally begins when the contract is concluded, subject to applicable statutory requirements concerning the provision of withdrawal information.
Students may exercise their statutory withdrawal right without providing a reason.
A valid withdrawal terminates the relevant contract in accordance with applicable law.
The statutory right of withdrawal is separate from the regular monthly cancellation option described in Section 8.
9.2 Access During the Withdrawal Period
Students may request that DRAMA begin providing educational services immediately after enrollment, before the statutory withdrawal period has expired.
Where a student has expressly requested early performance and has received the legally required information, compensation may be due for services already provided before a valid withdrawal, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Any such compensation will be calculated in accordance with applicable consumer-protection legislation.
No compensation will be charged where the legal requirements for doing so have not been satisfied.
Accessing lessons or other digital educational materials does not, by itself, constitute a waiver of the statutory withdrawal right.
9.3 Refunds Following Withdrawal
If a student exercises a valid statutory withdrawal right, payments will be refunded in accordance with applicable law.
Where lawful compensation is due for educational services already provided, that amount may be deducted from the refund.
If no compensation is legally payable, the student will receive a full refund.
Refunds will be processed within the applicable statutory period, normally no later than 14 days after receipt of a valid withdrawal declaration.
Refunds are generally made using the original payment method through our authorized payment reseller, FastSpring.
9.4 How to Withdraw
Students may exercise their statutory withdrawal right by submitting a clear declaration of their intention to withdraw.
A withdrawal declaration may be sent to:
Students may also use the electronic withdrawal function provided through the applicable online enrollment interface.
The declaration must clearly identify the contract and the student's intention to withdraw.
No reason is required.
Where applicable, students may also use the statutory model withdrawal form provided as part of the enrollment information.
9.5 Additional Information
The statutory withdrawal right and the contractual cancellation options described in Section 8 are separate rights.
Cancellation of future enrollment does not automatically constitute withdrawal from the original contract.
Students receive the applicable statutory withdrawal information as part of the enrollment process.
Nothing in these Terms restricts mandatory statutory consumer rights.
10. Intellectual Property
All videos, demonstrations, lessons, assignments, downloadable resources, written materials, graphics, photographs, and other educational content provided by DRAMA remain the intellectual property of Dirk Dzimirsky or the respective rights holders unless otherwise stated.
Enrollment grants students a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access these materials for their own educational use during active enrollment.
Students may not reproduce, redistribute, publish, sell, or commercially distribute protected DRAMA educational materials without prior written permission.
Account sharing is not permitted.
These restrictions do not prevent students from independently applying the drawing techniques and artistic knowledge they have learned to their own artwork.
Unauthorized distribution or misuse of protected materials may result in appropriate legal action.
11. Student Artwork
Students retain ownership and copyright of the artwork they create.
By submitting drawings, photographs, or other materials to DRAMA, students grant permission for those materials to be used within the Atelier for educational purposes.
This includes assignment reviews, drawing critiques, demonstrations, live Study Classes, and educational discussions.
DRAMA will not publish student artwork for external marketing, advertising, or promotional purposes without the student's separate permission.
Any use of student artwork and associated personal information remains subject to applicable data-protection and intellectual-property laws.
12. Atelier Community Standards
DRAMA provides a respectful and professional artistic learning environment.
Students are expected to communicate respectfully with instructors, staff, and fellow students.
Harassment, abusive behavior, discrimination, hate speech, unauthorized distribution of another student's work, and deliberate disruption of educational activities are not permitted.
DRAMA may take appropriate measures to protect the learning environment, including warnings, restrictions on community participation, or termination of enrollment where legally permissible.
Any consequences for tuition payments or refunds will be determined in accordance with applicable law.
13. Access to Educational Content
Enrollment provides access to the educational materials and services included in the student's agreed study program.
Access is personal and may not be shared or transferred.
Students are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials.
Following an ordinary cancellation, access to enrollment-based educational resources normally remains available until the end of the current paid billing period.
Access normally ends when enrollment terminates.
Different access arrangements may apply where a contract ends through statutory withdrawal, termination for good cause, or another legally permitted reason.
Any separate rights associated with previously purchased standalone courses remain subject to the terms applicable to those purchases.
DRAMA uses third-party technology providers to deliver its educational services and makes reasonable efforts to maintain availability and functionality.
Temporary interruptions may occur due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances outside DRAMA's reasonable control.
Students retain all applicable statutory rights.
14. Educational Outcomes
DRAMA provides structured instruction, artistic guidance, individual feedback, and an educational environment intended to support artistic development.
Individual results depend on previous experience, consistency of practice, time invested, application of feedback, and personal artistic development.
DRAMA does not guarantee completion of the curriculum within a specific timeframe or achievement of a particular artistic standard.
Testimonials and examples of student progress represent individual experiences rather than guarantees of future results.
DRAMA does not guarantee financial income, employment, commissions, or professional recognition.
15. External Links and Third-Party Services
DRAMA may provide links to external websites, educational resources, suppliers, or third-party services for students' convenience.
These services may operate under their own terms and privacy policies.
DRAMA is not responsible for the independent content or operation of third-party websites except where responsibility arises under applicable law.
16. Educational Disclaimer and Liability
Educational materials and guidance reflect the artistic methods, professional experience, and judgment of Dirk Dzimirsky and the DRAMA teaching team.
DRAMA makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate, effective, and professionally prepared educational content.
DRAMA remains fully liable for damages arising from intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
Liability for injury to life, body, or health caused by negligent breaches of duty remains unrestricted.
In cases of slight negligence involving an essential contractual obligation, liability may be limited to reasonably foreseeable damages typical for the contract, to the extent permitted by law.
Statutory liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded remains unaffected.
17. Applicable Law
These Terms of Enrollment are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Where mandatory consumer-protection provisions in the student's country of habitual residence apply, those protections remain unaffected.
Mandatory provisions governing distance education, digital educational services, withdrawal rights, or contract termination take precedence over conflicting provisions in these Terms.
Payment transactions processed through FastSpring are additionally subject to the applicable terms of the contracting seller as identified during checkout.
18. Changes to These Terms
DRAMA may update these Terms of Enrollment to reflect changes in educational services, legal requirements, or business operations.
The current version will be published on the DRAMA website.
Changes ordinarily apply to new enrollments concluded after the updated Terms take effect.
For existing enrollments, contractual changes will take effect only where permitted by applicable law or where the student has validly agreed to them.
Changes do not automatically alter tuition arrangements, enrollment duration, or contractual rights already agreed with existing students.
