Recordings and Use of Online Classes:
By participating in our online classes, you acknowledge and agree that sessions may be recorded for educational and promotional purposes.
These recordings may include audio, video, and other materials presented during the class. Recordings may be used for the following purposes:
- Providing access to students who are unable to attend live sessions.
- Educational purposes, such as creating study materials or additional resources.
- Promotional activities, including but not limited to website content, social media posts, marketing materials, distribution on other platforms, and sales as standalone courses.
If you do not wish to be recorded or have your likeness used for these purposes, you have the option to keep your camera turned off during class. Please note that while turning off your camera will prevent your video from being recorded, your participation in discussions and activities may still be captured through audio.
Artwork Display:
Art created during our classes may be showcased on our website, social media platforms, marketing materials, and other platforms for promotional purposes. This may include photographs or digital representations of the artwork, along with the artist's name or pseudonym, unless you request otherwise.

Your membership begins on the date of purchase and remains active for the duration of your selected billing cycle (monthly or annual).

Refund Policy
Because our digital platform grants you immediate, unrestricted access to our entire recorded course library upon checkout, all payments are non-refundable. To prevent content exploitation (e.g., subscribing to download or view material and immediately requesting a refund), Prima Materia Institute does not issue refunds, partial refunds, or credits for any reason, including unviewed content and unused mentorship passes.
Individually purchased recordings remain accessible to the purchaser for the duration of the agreed amount of time.
Membership access to recordings, live classes, and Personal Projects is available only while the membership remains active.
Prima Materia Art Institute reserves the right to modify membership pricing, benefits, policies, and these Terms & Conditions at any time. Existing members who maintain uninterrupted membership may retain grandfathered pricing where applicable.
