Automatic Subscription Renewal, Free Trials and Cancellation
By clicking/tapping “Subscribe,” you authorize the Stan Winston School of Character Arts to charge your selected payment method for the price of your selected subscription plan. Unless canceled, recurring subscription plans automatically renew at the end of each applicable billing period, and your payment method will be charged the price then in effect for your current plan.
If your subscription begins with a free trial, your selected payment method will be charged for the applicable subscription when the free-trial period ends unless you cancel before the end of the free trial.
You may cancel your subscription at any time by visiting your SWSCA account page. Unless otherwise stated or required by applicable law, cancellation takes effect at the end of your then-current paid subscription period, and you will retain access through the end of that period. Cancellation prevents future renewal charges but does not retroactively cancel charges already incurred.
Refunds
Except where otherwise expressly stated or required by applicable law, payments are non-refundable and no refunds or credits will be provided for partially used subscription periods. Any separate refund policy or refund terms presented to you in connection with a particular purchase or offer will also apply to that purchase or offer.
Lifetime Plan
The Stan Winston School of Character Arts may offer a “Lifetime” plan for a one-time payment. For purposes of the Lifetime plan, “Lifetime” does not mean the lifetime of the purchaser or any other individual. “Lifetime” means the period during which the Stan Winston School of Character Arts website continues to operate and offer its educational subscription service.
A Lifetime plan provides the purchaser with access to the content and services included in that plan for as long as the Stan Winston School of Character Arts website continues to operate as an educational resource. If the Stan Winston School of Character Arts website or its educational subscription service is permanently discontinued, including as a result of the cessation of business operations, Lifetime plan access will terminate.
The Lifetime plan is personal to the purchaser and may not be transferred, assigned, resold, or shared with another person.
The content, courses, instructors, features, functionality, technology, and services available through the Stan Winston School of Character Arts website may change from time to time. A Lifetime plan does not guarantee the continued availability of any particular course, instructor, feature, functionality, item of content, or method of accessing the service.
Minors
If you are under 18 years of age, you may use the website and its paid services only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian. By purchasing a subscription or other paid service on behalf of a minor, the parent or legal guardian agrees to these Terms and Conditions of Use and accepts responsibility for the minor’s use of the website.
Credit Card Authorization
The Braintree gateway verifies credit cards by running either a $0 or $1 authorization and then automatically voiding it. For most processors and card brands, transactions are initially tried with a $0 authorization. If $0 authorizations are not supported, a $1 authorization will be performed automatically.
In any instance where a $1 authorization returns a successful result, we immediately follow up with an automatic void request to ensure that the transaction does not settle and that it disappears from the cardholder's statement as soon as possible.
