IMPORTANT POLICY TERMS - PLEASE READ:

MoonRise Bead Company will not sell or otherwise give your personal information or email address to anyone. We intend to use this information only to provide better service to you, our customers, and to make you aware of special happenings at our store prior to advertising to the general public. We welcome your comments and suggestions.

You must pre-register for all classes due to the limit of students per class. Payment in full is requested upon registration. Refunds will be given only if there is a valid excuse or with 24-hour notice. Refunds for classes will be given in the form of store credit which can be used for future classes and/or merchandise. We will not provide the aforementioned refund policy simply because you don't attend, unless we can fill your spot, in advance, as some classes do have waiting lists. Conversely, all classes require a minimum number of students in attendance. Therefore, unless a class meets that requirement MoonRise reserves the right to cancel that class. If this occurs, the class will be rescheduled or refunds in the form of store credit will be given.

After registration and payment has been made, we will supply you with a class materials list. It is advisable to make your selections the day before the class is held in order not to cause a delay in the class start time. You may leave your selections at the store, paying for them the day of the class and you can use the 10% discount for both the class materials and your total purchase amount the day of the class.
