Refund Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2024
Introduction
At Artist Blog, we value your satisfaction with our products and services. This Refund Policy outlines our procedures and guidelines regarding refunds for purchases made through our website. By making a purchase on our website, you agree to the terms of this Refund Policy.
Digital Products and Subscriptions
Digital Downloads
Due to the nature of digital products, all sales of digital downloads (e-books, tutorials, templates, etc.) are final and non-refundable once the download has been initiated or the digital content has been accessed. However, we consider the following exceptions:
- If you have not downloaded or accessed the digital content and contact us within 14 days of purchase
- If the digital product is substantially different from what was described or advertised
- If the digital product contains technical issues that prevent its proper use and cannot be resolved through our customer support
Online Courses and Workshops
For online courses and workshops, we offer a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the course content, you may request a refund within 14 days of purchase, provided that you have completed no more than 25% of the course. To request a refund for a course, please submit detailed feedback explaining why the course did not meet your expectations.
Subscriptions
For subscription-based services, we do not offer refunds for past billing periods. You may cancel your subscription at any time, and the service will remain active until the end of the current billing period. No refunds will be issued for partial subscription periods.
If you believe you were charged incorrectly for a subscription, please contact us within 30 days of the charge with your account details and payment information.

- Package the product securely in its original packaging

Please note that you are responsible for the cost of return shipping unless the return is due to our error (e.g., wrong item shipped, defective product).
Refund Processing
Once we receive and inspect the returned item, we will notify you about the status of your refund. If approved, your refund will be processed within 5-10 business days. The refund will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.
Please note that it may take an additional 5-10 business days for the refund to appear in your account, depending on your payment provider's policies.
Art Commissions and Custom Services
Deposits and Payments
For custom art commissions and services, we typically require a non-refundable deposit to begin work. The deposit amount and payment schedule will be clearly outlined in the commission agreement provided before work begins.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel a commission or custom service, the following terms apply:
- Cancellation before work has started: Deposit may be refunded at our discretion, less a 15% administrative fee
- Cancellation after work has started but before completion: Deposit is non-refundable, and additional payments will be calculated based on the percentage of work completed
- Cancellation after work is completed: No refund will be issued
Revisions and Satisfaction
Our commission process includes a specified number of revision rounds as outlined in your commission agreement. If you are not satisfied with the final product despite reasonable revision opportunities, refunds may be considered on a case-by-case basis at our discretion.
Events and Workshops
In-Person Events
For in-person workshops, classes, and events:
- Cancellation 30+ days before the event: Full refund minus a 10% administrative fee
- Cancellation 14-29 days before the event: 50% refund
- Cancellation less than 14 days before the event: No refund
As an alternative to a refund, you may transfer your registration to another person or apply your payment to a future event (within 6 months) at no additional cost.
Event Cancellation by Artist Blog
