6. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Northern Line Drawing Studio Ltd., its directors, officers, employees, contractors, instructors, representatives, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, business opportunities, data, goodwill, or anticipated savings arising out of or relating to your use of our services.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from or relating to the services shall not exceed the amount you paid to us for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
You acknowledge that participation in art classes, figure drawing sessions, workshops, and studio activities may involve ordinary risks, including but not limited to slips, trips, falls, minor cuts, contact with art supplies, eye strain, repetitive motion discomfort, and risks associated with shared spaces. You voluntarily assume such risks to the extent they cannot be excluded by law.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, personal injury, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
7. Intellectual Property Rights
All content provided by Northern Line Drawing Studio Ltd., including course materials, lesson plans, worksheets, handouts, reference sheets, presentations, videos, audio, images, designs, trademarks, logos, website content, and written materials, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by Canadian and international intellectual property laws.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use materials we provide solely for your personal, non-commercial learning purposes.

If you photograph or record any class content with our permission, you may use such recordings only for personal reference unless we expressly authorize broader use in writing.
8. Data Protection and Privacy
We collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and, where applicable, provincial privacy legislation.
Personal information may include your name, contact details, booking history, payment-related information, attendance records, communication history, accessibility needs, and other information you choose to provide to us.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information we handle. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may use third-party providers for scheduling, payment processing, email delivery, data storage, or website analytics. Such providers may process personal information on our behalf or under their own terms, as applicable.
Our privacy practices may be further described in a separate privacy policy. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and a published privacy policy regarding personal information handling, the privacy policy will govern to the extent of that subject matter.
9. Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations due to events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to fire, flood, extreme weather, power failure, internet outage, public health emergency, labour disruption, government action, civil unrest, venue closure, supply chain disruption, acts of terrorism, or other force majeure events.
In such circumstances, we may reschedule, modify, suspend, or cancel affected services and may offer a credit, alternate date, substitute instructor, or refund where appropriate and required by law.
10. Changes to Terms
We may update or revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, operations, legal obligations, or business practices.
Updated Terms will be effective when posted on our website or otherwise communicated to you, unless a later effective date is stated. Your continued registration, attendance, or use of our services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
If a change materially affects a service you have already booked, we will endeavour to provide reasonable notice where practicable.
11. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to them, our services, or your use of our services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Subject to any mandatory consumer protection laws or other non-waivable legal rights, the parties attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada, and any proceedings shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Toronto, Ontario.
