TUFTOPIA operates a no-refund policy on all bookings once payment has been made.

Refunds may only be considered in exceptional circumstances, including but not limited to:

  • Technical or equipment failure that prevents your session from taking place

All refund decisions are made at the discretion of TUFTOPIA. Approved refunds, where applicable, will be processed within a reasonable timeframe.

  • All reschedule requests must be made at least 24 hours before the original session time.

  • Same-day reschedule requests may not be accommodated.

  • Failure to attend a session without prior notice will be treated as a no-show and is not eligible for rescheduling.


3. Lateness Policy

  • Please arrive on time for your session.

  • For 15 minutes of lateness, a ₦3,000 late fee will apply.
  • For every 30 minutes of lateness, a ₦5,000 late fee will apply.

  • Excessive lateness may result in a shortened session or cancellation without refund, as we operate on scheduled time slots.


4. Advance Booking Requirement

All bookings should be made at least 2 hours before your intended session time.
This allows us adequate time to prepare materials, equipment, and the studio space for your arrival.
