CREATIVE GENIUS ACADEMY - TERMS OF SERVICE

Creative Genius Academy is a business operated by Sylvia Chan Art Inc., a corporation incorporated pursuant to the federal laws of Canada (“CGA”). By registering for and attending art lessons offered by CGA, whether online or in-person (“Art Lessons”), the student or, in the case of a student who is a minor, the parent or legal guardian on behalf of such student (the “Client”) agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, which shall apply in respect of all Art Lessons provided by CGA to the Client.

NOW THEREFORE for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1 – ART LESSONS

1. Description of Art Lessons. The Client is engaging CGA to provide Art Lessons delivered by employees or independent contractors of CGA (each an “Instructor” and collectively, “Instructors”) from time to time, which may include both online and in-person sessions in a group environment. CGA cannot guarantee that the same Instructor will provide all Art Lessons to the Client.

1.2 Equipment and Materials. The Client will be responsible for supplying their own tools and materials, including but not limited to, graphite and colored pencils, paint brushes, erasers, sharpeners, and other materials as may be required to participate in a particular Art Lesson. To participate in digital Art Lessons, the Client will need access to an iPad and stylus, or other electronic device with similar functionality. When attending in-person Art Lessons, CGA will only provide the Client with basic consumable art supplies such as paint, unless otherwise agreed by CGA in its sole discretion.

1.3 Policies. The Client acknowledges and agrees that CGA will have the right to create operating procedures and policies for its business from time to time (which includes, without limitation, all aspects of the Art Lessons, and other classes or sessions offered by CGA from time to time), and the Client agrees to abide by all such policies and procedures during the term of this Agreement.

1.4 Third Party Services. CGA may use third party services to deliver Art Lessons, including but not limited to, Google Classroom. The Client acknowledges and agrees that they may be required to agree to third-party terms of service in order to receive such third-party services and participate in Art Lessons.

SECTION 2 – PHOTOGRAPHY, RECORDINGS, AND PRIVACY

2.1 Video for Online Art Lessons. The Client may be required, from time to time, to share live video of themselves and/or their artwork during online Art Lessons to allow Instructors to provide individualized feedback to the Client.

2.2 Use of Client’s Image. In registering for Art Lessons, the Client will be required to confirm whether they consent to the following:

during Art Lessons, whether online or in-person, CGA may collect and retain photographs, videos, or other recordings of the Client, which will become the property of CGA (the “Client’s Image”).
CGA may use the Client’s Image for marketing, advertising and other business purposes (including, without limitation, the creation of promotional materials, brochures, website and social media content). The Client waives any right to compensation for any use of the Client’s Image.

For certainty, if the Client does not provide their consent pursuant to this Section 2.2, incidental collection of the Client’s Image may still occur in connection with the Client attending Art Lessons; however, CGA agrees that the Client’s Image will not be used by CGA for marketing, advertising or other business purposes other than with the Client’s prior consent.

2.3 Retracting Consent. If the Client provides written notice to CGA retracting prior consent given pursuant to Section 2.2, CGA will refrain from using the Client’s Image in any future publication.

SECTION 3 – ART LESSON PURCHASE, TRANSFER AND USE

3.1 Fees. The Client is required to pay in advance for all Art Lessons. Pricing and package details will be listed on CGA’s website and may be subject to change from time to time.

3.2 Lesson Credits. The Client may purchase multiple Art Lesson credits as part of a package (the “Credits”). Credits can be redeemed for Art Lessons as and when scheduled by CGA and booked by the Client, provided that each Credit must be used within twelve (12) months of the date of original purchase. Once purchased, Credits are non-refundable, except as may be required by applicable law or in accordance with Section 4.1. The Client may apply unused Credits purchased in connection with a particular Art Lesson for another CGA class or program of equal or lesser value (as determined by CGA in its sole discretion) for use within the original twelve (12) month period.

3.3 Transfer of Credits. The Client may transfer any unused Credits to an immediate family member for use within that same twelve (12) month period by providing written notice to CGA along with contact details of the proposed transferee. Any transfer will be conditional upon said transferee (i) being accepted by CGA; and (ii) confirming their agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

3.4 Scheduling and Cancellations. All Art Lessons must be booked in advance with CGA. The Client must provide notice to CGA of any changes, cancellations or scheduling issues not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to any scheduled Art Lesson. Failure to provide such notice will result in the forfeiture of such Art Lesson and any related Credit(s).

3.5 Lateness of Client. The Client is expected to arrive on time and be ready to begin work at the beginning of any scheduled Art Lesson, whether online or in-person. Art Lessons will not be extended, nor any fees reimbursed, as a result of the late arrival of the Client to their scheduled Art Lesson.

SECTION 4 – TERM AND TERMINATION

4.1 Term and Termination. This Agreement shall become effective upon its execution by the parties and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated. CGA or the Client may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason by providing written notice of termination to the other party, provided that (i) upon termination by the Client, any unused Credits will be forfeited unless transferred to another individual in accordance with Section 3.3; and (ii) upon termination by CGA, the fees paid for any unused Credits that have not expired as of the date of termination shall be refunded to the Client.

SECTION 5 – RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

5.1 CGA’s Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any confidential and/or proprietary information concerning CGA or its business including, without limitation, CGA’s curriculum, lesson plans, templates, digital materials and other information provided by CGA in respect of the Art Lessons. The Client covenants and agrees, at all times during the term of this Agreement and after termination of this Agreement, to keep all Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose it to any person or entity, sell or publish it through any medium or use it for any purpose other than his or her personal use for educational purposes.

5.2 Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Client shall not, directly or indirectly, in any manner or capacity whatsoever: (a) solicit, hire, contract with or otherwise engage an Instructor to provide art instruction, lessons, tutoring or other art education services to the Client or any other person or entity, other than through CGA; or (b) interfere in any way with any business relationship between CGA and any Instructor or other person or entity.

5.3 Equitable Remedies. The parties acknowledge that a breach of subsections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may prove inadequate. CGA shall therefore be entitled to seek, in any court, temporary restraining orders, preliminary and permanent injunctions, and/or other equitable remedies in addition to all remedies available at law, in connection with any violation or threatened violation of any such provisions.

SECTION 6 –LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, INDEMNITY, COVID-19 WAIVER AND RELEASE

Further, the Releasee’s total liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid to CGA by the Client during the three (3) months immediately preceding the date of the alleged act or omission giving rise to the said liability. This Agreement does not impose any obligation or liability upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto.

6.2 Indemnity.
