Fable & Sow intentionally keeps many of our classes, workshops, and training experiences small. Registration reserves a place in the room and allows us to responsibly plan for faculty, space, programming, and the artists who will be working alongside you. Our cancellation and refund policy is designed to balance flexibility and care for our artists with the sustainability of the work.
INDIVIDUAL COURSES & WORKSHOPS
Cancellations made at least 7 days before the first scheduled session are eligible for a full refund. Cancellations made 3 to 6 days before the first scheduled session are eligible for either a 50% refund or a Fable & Sow tuition credit for the full amount paid. Tuition credits issued under this policy are valid for 12 months from the date of cancellation. Cancellations made within 72 hours of the first scheduled session or after an offering has begun are non-refundable.
MISSED CLASSES & PARTICIPANT ABSENCES
Tuition covers enrollment in the full offering rather than attendance at individual sessions. Missed classes, late arrivals, early departures, or other participant absences are not eligible for prorated refunds or tuition credits. Whenever possible, we ask participants to notify faculty in advance if they know they will be absent.
FOUNDING MEMBER CORE COURSES
Founding Membership includes one eligible Core Curriculum Course each semester at no additional tuition. If a Founding Member withdraws from their included Core course at least 72 hours before the first scheduled session, the member may select another eligible Core course for that semester, subject to availability and course eligibility. If withdrawal occurs within 72 hours of the first scheduled session or after the course has begun, the included Core course benefit for that semester is considered used, and another Core course will not ordinarily be provided. Included Core courses have no cash value and are not eligible for a cash refund.
FOUNDING MEMBER STUDIO CREDITS
If a Founding Member withdraws from an eligible offering at least 72 hours before the first scheduled session, any Studio Credit applied to that offering will be restored. If withdrawal occurs within 72 hours of the first scheduled session or after the offering has begun, the applied Studio Credit is considered used and will not ordinarily be restored. Any additional tuition paid beyond the Studio Credit remains subject to the Individual Courses & Workshops cancellation terms above.
IF FABLE & SOW CANCELS OR RESCHEDULES AN OFFERING
If Fable & Sow cancels a course or workshop, participants who purchased the offering separately will receive a full refund of tuition paid for that offering. If Fable & Sow cancels a Founding Member’s included Core course, the member may select another eligible Core course for that semester, subject to availability and course eligibility. Any Studio Credit applied to an offering canceled by Fable & Sow will be fully restored. If an offering is rescheduled and the new schedule prevents a participant from attending, Fable & Sow will provide the appropriate refund, tuition credit, restored Studio Credit, or alternative eligible Core course, depending on how the participant was enrolled. A participant will not lose separately paid tuition or an applicable membership benefit because Fable & Sow was unable to provide an offering as scheduled.
FOUNDING MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATION
Founding Membership is a $900 annual commitment payable in 12 monthly installments of $75.The monthly payment schedule allows the annual commitment to be paid over time and does not constitute a month-to-month membership. A new Founding Membership may be canceled within 7 calendar days of enrollment, provided the member has not used their included Core course, a Studio Credit, their complimentary audition coaching session, or another substantive membership benefit. Once a membership benefit has been used or the 7-day cancellation period has passed, the 12-month membership commitment remains in effect and scheduled payments remain due.
MEMBERSHIP PAUSES
Founding Members may request a temporary pause in membership when circumstances require time away from the studio. Approved pauses suspend monthly billing and access to membership benefits. The membership end date is extended by the corresponding period, ensuring the member retains the full 12 months of active membership. Generally, membership may be paused for up to two months total during a membership year. Additional accommodations may be considered in extraordinary circumstances. Membership pauses must be approved by Fable & Sow and cannot be applied retroactively. A membership pause does not automatically preserve, transfer, or extend a semester-specific Core course benefit. If a pause affects a member’s ability to participate in their included Core course, Fable & Sow will work with the member directly to determine available options based on timing, eligibility, and programming.
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES
We understand that life does not always follow a schedule. Illness, family emergencies, significant changes in circumstance, and other unexpected events may sometimes require additional consideration. Exceptions to this policy may be considered individually and at Fable & Sow’s discretion when circumstances warrant additional care. We ask participants to communicate with us as early as reasonably possible. Consideration of an exception does not guarantee a refund, tuition credit, restored membership benefit, or release from a membership commitment.
PAYMENT METHODS & REFUND PROCESSING
This policy applies regardless of the payment method or platform used to register. Approved refunds will be returned to the original payment method whenever possible. Once an approved refund has been issued by Fable & Sow, processing times are determined by the participant’s bank, card issuer, or payment provider.
FABLE & SOW TUITION CREDITS
Tuition credits issued under this cancellation policy are valid for 12 months from the date of issuance. Tuition credits may be applied toward eligible Fable & Sow courses or workshops. They are non-transferable and have no cash value. Tuition credits issued through this cancellation policy are separate from the included Core courses and Studio Credits provided through Founding Membership and cannot be converted into membership benefits. If tuition for a future offering exceeds the available tuition credit, the participant is responsible for the remaining balance.
QUESTIONS & CANCELLATION REQUESTS
Questions about cancellations, refunds, membership pauses, tuition credits, or membership benefits should be directed to Fable & Sow as soon as possible at info@fableandsow.com.The date and time Fable & Sow receives a cancellation request will be used to determine eligibility under this policy.
