-Students that need to tend to anything unrelated to class (i.e. a phone call) should excuse themselves from the classroom and do so quietly as to not interrupt class for the rest of the students and teacher.
-Refunds are not available once payment has been made for any reason other than the class being cancelled by Avalon Cakes/the Teacher.  Please check carefully that you can make the dates before you book.  This applies to any class booking, gift or any other method of booking. If you give your class to someone else, Avalon Cakes must be informed of the new information.
-Avalon Cakes Ltd. reserves the right to refuse its services to any student without reason.
-Students should arrive at least 15 minutes BEFORE the start of the class. Class will not wait to start for those who are late. However, if you are running late, please notify Avalon Cakes so we can wait a few minutes longer or be prepared to catch you up.

All class bookings are bound by these terms and conditions.
