Hello and welcome to URU Studio! We’re so happy to have you as a customer. These are our Terms of Service (“Terms”) which apply to all customers of URU Studio [ABN 26361867933] (“we, us, our”). By using our Website and Services, you’re agreeing to these Terms together with any other terms and conditions and policies we publish or link to (together an “Agreement”). “You” could be any customer of ours. If you do not agree, unfortunately you cannot purchase any of our Products online.

BEFORE PURCHASE

Things you need to do before purchasing Products on our Website

Before you buy anything from our Website, there are a few things you should know:

  • you need to be18 years old or have parental consent;
  • please give us complete and accurate information, including account information, and let us know if anything changes;
  • you need to use any special offers or gift codes or coupons at the time of purchase – they can’t be applied after the fact; and
  • once you place an order, we may not be able to cancel it, as it will already have been processed and paid for by us.

How it works

Our Products are art boxes which we sell individually or on a subscription basis. When you purchase a subscription, you will receive an art box each month for the duration of your subscription period. Each art box will be delivered to the address you provide at the time of purchase. Please ensure that your delivery address is correct and up-to-date. The cost of the subscription will be charged to your chosen payment method at the time of purchase. You are responsible for ensuring that your payment details are correct and up-to-date and that there are sufficient funds available to cover the cost of the subscription.

The subscription is for either a 3-month, 6-month or 12-month period. Your subscription will commence on the date that you purchase the subscription and will continue for the period that you have chosen. If you purchase a subscription after the 28th of the month, your first art box will be the art box for the following month and your subscription period will run from the first day of the following month. The subscription will automatically renew at the end of your chosen subscription period unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the current subscription period. You can cancel your subscription at any time by contacting us via email at urustudio.ct@gmail.com. Please note that cancellation of the subscription will take effect from the next subscription period, and you will not receive a refund for the current subscription period.

The art box includes all materials required to complete a monthly themed art painting. This includes but is not limited to items such as paints, canvas, pencils, charcoal, etc. Each month the contents can vary according to the theme. The theme may vary depending on technique, artist feature, medium or composition. All contents are listed on our website. The final artwork you create is a recreation of the original peace with your own creative input.

For Sydney shoppers only, there is an in-person studio session on offer as well. You do not need a subscription to attend. We offer the relevant art box for purchase at these sessions. For those who are currently subscribed and want to attend the in-person studio session, you receive a 40% discount off the in-person sessions. Please see here for in person session information and terms.
