Any Student who registers for an Art Beat Club course and/or training or Membership agrees they have read and accepted these General Terms and Conditions.
These General Terms and Conditions can be amended by The Art Beat Club at any time, but amended Terms and Conditions apply only to Contracts concluded after that amendment. In this respect, each renewal of a Membership is considered a new Contract.
Any General Terms and Conditions of the Student or other parts to the Contract with The Art Beat Club are rejected by The Art Beat Club and will not apply to the relationship.

After payment of the required fee the Student will receive a perpetual license to use all the materials available as part of the course and/or the Membership, but only for him/herself personally.

Online Courses, Memberships & Trainings
Students who purchase a separate online course and/or training of the Art Beat Club or become an Artist in Wonderland waive their right to a cooling-off period (‘herroepingsrecht’).
An Artist in Wonderland Membership is available only on a yearly basis.
The Member can only opt for an annual membership but has the choice between a one-time payment or a monthly payment. At the end of each membership period, the Member can switch to the alternative payment method by sending an email to hallo@marenthe.nl, providing a two-week notice.
After the first fixed membership period of 1 year, the Member may cancel the Membership at any time, provided that one month’s notice is given.
If such notice in (4) above is not given, Membership will be automatically renewed for the same period as the previous Membership term.
The Membership fee is to be paid in advance.
All prices quoted in communication and agreements between The Art Beat Club and the Student are in euro and inclusive VAT (21%).
If a Member cancels the yearly Membership during the subscription term, but after the first fixed period, they will be refunded for the fee paid for the period during which they will not enjoy the benefits of the Membership.
The Member will not receive a refund for services provided in the first fixed period.
Membership fees will be automatically processed once a year around the same day of the month as that of original enrollment, by direct debit or credit card.
If an automatic payment is rejected or if a payment cannot be processed The Art Beat Club will try once more within 7 days and/or the Student will be sent an invoice with a specific date before which the payment must be made. If that second payment cannot be processed or is not received by the date specified, the Student will be considered to be in default. In such circumstance The Art Beat Club is entitled to suspend the Membership of the Student and to withdraw their access to the materials. After the second attempt The Art Beat Club will try to process the payment for a third and final time. If that attempt also fails, The Art Beat Club will cancel the Membership and proceed with legal action to collect the fees due.
The Art Beat Club Facebook group is moderated. By joining the Art Beat Club Facebook group Members agree to abide by certain ‘engagement rules’, which are stipulated in the group.
The moderator of the Art Beat Club Facebook group is entitled, at any time, for any reason, to remove posts, and in extreme cases, remove Members from the group.
