Painting Best Practices is an educational website and membership service operated by Natural Pigments LLC. These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the Painting Best Practices website, courses, memberships, live sessions, recordings, community features, downloadable materials, and related services.
By accessing or using Painting Best Practices, creating an account, purchasing a membership, registering for a session, posting in the community, or using any related service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website or services.
These Terms apply to all visitors, registered users, members, course participants, and purchasers.
Painting Best Practices provides educational information about artists’ materials, painting techniques, conservation research, studio practice, and related subjects. The site may include articles, videos, courses, live sessions, recorded sessions, downloadable resources, community discussions, product references, and other educational content.
Painting Best Practices is operated by Natural Pigments LLC. References in these Terms to “Painting Best Practices,” “PBP,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean Natural Pigments LLC and the Painting Best Practices website and services it operates.
The information provided on Painting Best Practices is for educational purposes only.
Painting Best Practices does not provide professional conservation treatment advice, restoration advice, appraisal advice, legal advice, health or safety advice, engineering advice, or any guarantee that a particular material, method, technique, product, or procedure will produce a specific result.
Painting materials and techniques can behave differently depending on many variables, including but not limited to:
You are responsible for evaluating whether any information, technique, product, or method is appropriate for your own artwork, studio, safety practices, and circumstances. When appropriate, consult a qualified conservator, safety professional, legal advisor, or other specialist before relying on information for valuable, historic, commercial, hazardous, or technically sensitive work.
We may revise educational content as new information becomes available. Older articles, videos, comments, recordings, or discussions may not reflect the most current research, recommendations, or policies.
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account, purchase a membership, register for paid services, or enter into these Terms.
If you use Painting Best Practices on behalf of a business, organization, school, studio, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
You may be required to create an account to access memberships, courses, live sessions, recordings, community features, or other services.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
You agree not to:
We may suspend or terminate an account if we believe the account has been shared, misused, compromised, used fraudulently, or used in violation of these Terms.
Painting Best Practices may offer paid memberships, courses, live sessions, recordings, downloadable resources, and other paid services.
Membership benefits, pricing, billing intervals, access rights, and included services are described on the applicable membership, course, checkout, or registration pages. Those descriptions are incorporated into these Terms.
Membership access may vary by tier. Some content, live sessions, recordings, community areas, courses, or resources may be available only to certain membership levels.
We may change membership benefits, content, pricing, or service structure from time to time. Changes will not reduce access to content you have already purchased for a fixed term unless required for legal, technical, security, rights, platform, or operational reasons.
Some memberships and subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the renewal date.
By purchasing an automatically renewing membership or subscription, you authorize us or our payment processor to charge your payment method on a recurring basis according to the billing interval, price, and terms shown at checkout.
Before completing a purchase, the checkout page will identify the membership or subscription, billing interval, price, trial terms if applicable, and renewal terms. You should review this information carefully before submitting payment.
After purchase, you will receive an acknowledgment or confirmation of your order or subscription. It is your responsibility to retain this information.
You may cancel an automatically renewing subscription as described in the cancellation section below.
Painting Best Practices may offer free trials, low-cost trials, introductory pricing, coupons, promotional access, or limited-time offers.
Trial and promotional terms are governed by the terms displayed at the time of checkout or registration. These terms may include:
Unless otherwise stated at checkout, a trial subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless canceled before the trial ends.
We may limit trial or promotional offers to new members, first-time purchasers, one use per person, one use per household, one use per billing method, or one use per email address. We may deny, revoke, or cancel trial access if we believe the offer is being misused.
You may cancel an automatically renewing membership or subscription through your account area or by following the cancellation instructions provided on the website or in your subscription confirmation.
Cancellation stops future renewal charges. Unless otherwise stated, cancellation does not automatically refund past charges and does not necessarily provide a prorated refund for the current billing period.
After cancellation, your access may continue until the end of the paid billing period, unless your account is terminated for violation of these Terms, nonpayment, chargeback, fraud, abuse, or misuse.
If you have difficulty canceling, contact us at:
info@paintingbestpractices.com
Cancellation requests must be received before the renewal date to avoid the next charge. We are not responsible for renewal charges resulting from late cancellation requests, failed delivery of cancellation messages, use of the wrong contact method, or failure to complete the cancellation process.
Unless a specific refund policy is stated on the applicable purchase page, all purchases are subject to the refund rules below.
Membership fees are generally nonrefundable once charged. If you cancel a membership, cancellation stops future renewal charges but does not automatically refund charges already paid.
We may, at our discretion, issue a refund in cases of duplicate billing, technical error, accidental duplicate purchase, or other circumstances we determine appropriate.
Trial fees, including low-cost introductory trial fees, are generally nonrefundable unless required by law or unless we determine that a billing error occurred.
If a trial converts to a paid subscription, the first paid subscription charge is generally nonrefundable unless canceled before the trial ends or unless required by law.
Course purchases are generally nonrefundable once course content has been accessed, viewed, downloaded, or otherwise made available, unless otherwise stated on the course purchase page.
Purchases for live sessions, webinars, Technical Studio Sessions, workshops, or similar events are generally nonrefundable unless the event is canceled and not rescheduled.
Failure to attend a live session does not automatically entitle you to a refund or replay access.
Replay access is governed by the membership tier, purchase terms, or event terms stated at the time of purchase or registration. Buying access to a live session does not automatically include access to a recording unless this is expressly stated.
If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute, we may suspend access to your account while the dispute is pending. If a chargeback is resolved against us or appears fraudulent, we may terminate access to the related account or services.
Painting Best Practices may offer live sessions, webinars, studio clinics, Technical Studio Sessions, workshops, Q&A sessions, community discussions, or similar events.
We may use third-party platforms such as Zoom, Vimeo, or other services to host, record, stream, or distribute these events. Your use of those services may also be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
We may record live sessions. Recordings may include participant names, voices, questions, chat messages, or other contributions if those features are used during the session.
By participating in a live session, you consent to the recording and use of your participation for educational, archival, member-access, replay, or promotional purposes, unless otherwise stated for a specific event.
You agree not to record, copy, download, redistribute, publish, sell, share, stream, or otherwise distribute live sessions, recordings, chat transcripts, slides, handouts, or other session materials without our express written permission.
We may reschedule, modify, or cancel live sessions for technical, staffing, platform, operational, safety, or other reasons. If a paid live session is canceled and not rescheduled, we will determine the appropriate remedy, which may include a refund, credit, replacement session, or other accommodation.
We are not responsible for technical problems caused by your internet connection, device, browser, email provider, third-party platform account, Zoom settings, spam filters, or failure to complete registration instructions.
