Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 1, 2026  |  Last Updated: April 1, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Supper Cooking Academy website at suppercookingacademy.com and your participation in cooking classes, events, and other services offered by Supper Cooking Academy ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing our website or booking a class, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account, make a booking, or purchase a gift card on our website. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who accepts these Terms on their behalf. Our Junior Chef Saturday classes are designed for children ages 7–14 accompanied by a parent or guardian.

2. Bookings and Payment

All class bookings are subject to availability. A booking is confirmed only upon receipt of full payment via our secure Stripe checkout. Prices are listed in US dollars and are inclusive of all class materials and ingredients unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to adjust pricing at any time; however, confirmed bookings will not be subject to price increases.

3. Cancellation and Refund Policy

We understand that plans change. Our cancellation policy is as follows:

To cancel a booking, please contact us at [email protected] or call (317) 762-6113. Refunds are processed to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.

4. Group Booking and Private Event Deposit Policy

All group bookings and private events — including Private Dining, Corporate Events, and Private Chef Experiences — require a 50% non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to secure your date. The remaining balance is due in full no later than 7 days before the event date. Failure to submit the remaining balance by this deadline may result in forfeiture of your deposit and cancellation of the event. The standard cancellation policy in Section 3 applies to the remaining balance once paid.

5. Class Cancellation by Supper Cooking Academy

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a class due to insufficient enrollment, instructor illness, or circumstances beyond our control. In the event of a cancellation by us, you will receive a full refund or the option to transfer to another available class date. We are not responsible for any travel, accommodation, or other expenses you may incur in connection with a cancelled class.

6. Gift Cards and Class Packs

Gift cards are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase and may be redeemed toward any class booking on our website. Gift cards are non-refundable and have no cash value. Class packs are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase. Unused credits from gift cards or class packs will expire at the end of the validity period and cannot be extended or refunded.

7. Health, Safety, and Dietary Restrictions

Our kitchen handles common allergens including nuts, gluten, dairy, shellfish, and eggs. It is your responsibility to inform us of any food allergies or dietary restrictions at the time of booking. While we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your needs, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. Participants with severe allergies should consult with us before booking. Supper Cooking Academy reserves the right to refuse participation to any individual whose health condition poses a risk to themselves or others.

8. Assumption of Risk and Liability Waiver

Cooking classes involve the use of sharp knives, open flames, hot surfaces, and other kitchen equipment. By participating in a class, you acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with cooking activities. To the fullest extent permitted by Indiana law, Supper Cooking Academy and Chef Damon Covington shall not be liable for any personal injury, property damage, or loss arising from your participation in a class, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct on our part.

9. Photography and Media

Supper Cooking Academy may photograph or video record classes for use in marketing materials, social media, and our website. By participating in a class, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use your likeness in such materials. If you do not wish to be photographed or recorded, please notify us in writing before your class and we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request.

10. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including recipes, photographs, videos, text, logos, and course materials — is the property of Supper Cooking Academy or its licensors and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any content on this website without our prior written consent.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of our services shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Hamilton County, Indiana, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Supper Cooking Academy's total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of our services shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific class or product giving rise to the claim. In no event shall Supper Cooking Academy be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
