Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. They establish the general conditions relating to use of our website, bookings, memberships, services and facilities.
Specific memberships, workshops, events or studio hire arrangements may have additional conditions provided at the time of booking or purchase. Those specific conditions will apply alongside these general Terms and Conditions and will take precedence where they expressly address a particular booking arrangement.
These Terms and Conditions should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer.

4. The Creators’ Table Membership
The Creators’ Table is a Studio Avasa business membership designed to provide women with opportunities for dedicated work, professional development, shared learning, collaboration and meaningful business connections.
4.1. Membership Inclusions
Membership benefits may include access to scheduled co-working sessions, collaborative activities, educational opportunities, guest sessions and other benefits described in the membership offering.
The specific inclusions, booking entitlements, timetable, attendance limits and membership fees will be communicated before joining.
Membership does not provide unrestricted access to the studio unless expressly included in the relevant membership arrangement.
4.2. Membership Payments
Memberships may be offered on a recurring subscription basis or for a defined period, as described when joining.
Where a membership automatically renews, the renewal frequency, payment amount and cancellation process will be clearly disclosed before enrolment.

4.3. Membership Cancellation
Members may request cancellation by emailing hello@studioavasa.com.au or through an available account cancellation facility.
For a recurring membership without a fixed minimum commitment, cancellation before the next scheduled renewal will prevent subsequent renewal charges.
Unless otherwise agreed or required by law, cancellation does not automatically provide a refund for services already supplied during a current paid membership period.
For fixed-term memberships, the duration and any applicable early-cancellation conditions will be clearly disclosed before purchase.
Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
4.4. Membership Changes
Studio Avasa may occasionally need to adjust schedules, facilitators, session arrangements or membership features for operational reasons.
Members will be given reasonable notice of material changes wherever practicable.
Where a material change substantially affects an agreed membership benefit, affected members will be offered an appropriate remedy, which may include cancellation and a refund for an unused portion of the membership, in accordance with applicable law.
Any proposed membership fee increase will be communicated before it takes effect, and members will have an opportunity to cancel before a higher recurring fee is charged.
4.5. Membership Participation
Membership is intended for the registered individual and cannot be shared or transferred without prior approval from Studio Avasa.
Members are expected to participate respectfully, follow applicable booking procedures and observe the shared-space guidelines.
4.6. Membership Suspension or Termination
Studio Avasa may suspend or terminate membership where there is a serious or repeated breach of these Terms and Conditions, unlawful conduct, harassment, a significant safety concern or another substantial reason affecting the appropriate operation of the space.

Any refund or outstanding payment arrangements will be managed fairly and in accordance with applicable law.
