Thirsty For Art LLC does not make warranties concerning your likelihood of success or results of any kind. You understand that you are ultimately responsible for your own wellbeing, finances, business, health, and lifestyle choices. By using this Website, you assume all responsibility for any such risk.
For the Visionary Art Therapists Membership (Program), access to all the digital content and private community and live zoom calls is valid for one year after your purchase date. After one year, your access to the materials and sessions end. You are welcome to purchase the membership again at that time.
The “Lifetime Access” to the Visionary Art Therapists Membership/Program, which is a separate purchase, ONLY includes access to the self-paced course (the recordings) and not the live calls and private (fb) community, unless stated otherwise. “Lifetime Access” to the program means unlimited access for the lifetime of the course. This means you/the customer has access to the recorded material in the program for as long as the program is in existence. If the program is to "retire,” or no longer be hosted and sold online, customers will be given at least 30 days to download the workbook or slides from the course. Certain parts of the course content will not be available for download due to privacy protection for buyers (e.g., recordings of group zoom sessions).
Self-paced courses, such as the “Visionary Art Therapists Business Course” and the “Therapeutic Art Facilitation School course” include lifetime access when purchased.

Returns & Refunds
All sales are final and no refund will be issued (whether that is full or partial refund). Some products offered as Money Back Guaranteed, trial periods, and with warranties are exceptions to this term. Exception only applies to products that clearly state that it offers 7-day refund period, Money Back Guaranteed, or that it has a warranty.
For refund regarding a program with 7-day refund policy, refunds can only be issued during the first 7 days of enrollment date (purchase date). All other refund requests after this period will not be considered.
For Visionary Art Therapists Program, which has a warranty, the warranty conditions need to have been met before any refund is issued. Warranty conditions are that the purchaser: (1) completes all the lessons and actions in one’s workbook (2) participate in each of the art studio, coaching and co-working live meetings every month (3) and if one cannot participate in a meeting, one asks for help in the program website or Facebook community each week - regarding you feeling stuck, need help, feeling overwhelmed, etc. (If one doesn't ask for help it will be assumed one is progressing and one is doing well) (4) If one doesn’t get their first beta*/paid client in 3 months, one can book a private coaching session with the program founder, and sit together to design a plan with necessary adjustments on what might still hold one back. If after 3 months of the meeting, one has applied the strategy/plans from that meeting and one still haven’t see your result (i.e., 1st paid client), one will be paid 100% of your money invested, plus $500 dollars for the inconvenience. Warranty applies when the requirements for it are fulfilled and application for it is made within 6 months of your enrollment. Only when all these conditions are met, warranty can be issued.
*(it can be paying or non-paying clients (because each person is on a different stage of their business and beta clients also have their value)
