Last updated: January 3, 2024

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using the Service.
Please carefully review the following. By utilizing the programming and services of Talent Maker City, ("TMC") or otherwise using our website, you acknowledge that you have completely read, understood and consented to these Terms and Conditions.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY POLICY

TMC is an inclusive organization that does not tolerate discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, age, color, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex, gender, disability, veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or on any other basis prohibited by state or federal law.

AGE POLICY

TMC workshops are available for adults, 18 years and older. Unless otherwise specified, TMC workshops are open to anyone 18 years and older. Youth under age 18 may attend workshops provided a legal guardian has met with a TMC staff member and has signed a liability waiver. Youth ages 8 -15 may attend workshops with an adult and a waiver signed by a legal guardian, with prior approval by TMC staff. For safety reasons, not all workshops are appropriate from youth under age 8.

DAMAGES

If any member or workshop participant intentionally or negligently damages or removes TMC facilities or equipment in clear violation of TMC's safety or facility policies, TMC reserves the right to bill said TMC workshop participant for the cost to repair or replace the damaged item.

AUTOMATIC MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL

TMC automatically bills members on a recurring basis on the first of each month for monthly memberships, and the day before the annual membership anniversary date for annual memberships. Members may cancel their own accounts online at https://members.talentmakercity.org at any time. All membership cancellations must occur prior to the next bill date. It is the member’s responsibility to cancel their own membership before the next billing period. Bookings, locker storage, or other extras are invoiced separately on a monthly basis.

Workshop Cancellation Policy

Cancellations with 24-hour notice or more: To lessen the financial impact of cancellations on our community nonprofit, we offer two options for cancellations: You can donate the cost of your ticket or receive a credit to use on a future workshop. Please call the makerspace #541-897-4477 or email us at makeit@talentmakercity.org.

Cancellations with less than 24-hour notice: Participants are not eligible for ticket transfers and credits with less than 24 hours notice. TMC is not responsible for providing refunds for workshops, or other programming missed due to illness, emergencies, or events beyond our control. As it is rare to fill a workshop with less than 24 hour notice, the ticket cost for last minute cancelations will be retained by Talent Maker City to support our instructors and ongoing programming.

-TMC reserves the right to cancel programming at any time and will notify students via email and/or phone. In the case of a workshop cancellation, TMC will notify workshop participants as soon as possible, before the scheduled workshop. In the rare event that TMC cancels a workshop, a full refund will be provided. If a workshop should fail to meet minimum enrollment 24 hours prior to the scheduled meeting, the workshop will be canceled.

-If a participant misses a single workshop in a series or portion of a workshop, TMC and its instructors are not responsible for makeup sessions. Participants should inform TMC as soon as they are aware of a session they will miss. In some cases, the participant may need to sign up for 1:1 instruction time in order to catch up.

TMC is not responsible for providing refunds for workshops, or other programming missed due to illness, emergencies, or events beyond our control.
