Terms & Conditions

This website is provided for information about our programs. We work to keep details like pricing, schedules, and availability accurate, but they can change — the booking system is always the source of truth for what's currently offered.

Tours, classes, camps, and team enrollment are booked and paid through our partners (Sawyer and Calendly). Your booking is also subject to their terms. Tuition amounts and what they include are described on each program's page.

Refunds, transfers, and make-ups follow our cancellation policy, which varies by program. Please review it before you book.

Our programs involve real tools and equipment. Students must follow all safety instructions and staff direction at all times. For everyone's safety, we may ask a student to step away from an activity, and we reserve the right to remove a student whose conduct puts others at risk.

If you provide your mobile number and opt in, Forge Makerspace may send you text messages related to your family's participation — booking and enrollment confirmations, class and camp reminders, schedule or closure updates, and occasional program news. These messages come from "Forge." You provide consent to be texted when you give us your number for this purpose (for example, on a booking, enrollment, or contact form). Consent to receive marketing texts is not a condition of enrolling or purchasing anything.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any text; we'll send one confirmation and then stop. Reply HELP for help, or contact us at (424) 766-1981 or santamonica@forgemakerspace.com. To rejoin, opt in again the same way you did originally.

How we handle the information you share with us, including your mobile number, is described in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell your personal information, and we don't share mobile opt-in data or consent with third parties for their own marketing.

We sometimes photograph or film activities to share what students build. If you'd prefer your child not appear in our photos or media, just let us know in writing and we'll honor it.

Hands-on engineering carries inherent risks. We take safety seriously — every instructor is CPR-certified and First-Aid trained, and safety instruction comes before any tool use. Enrolling acknowledges that participation involves these activities. Any separate waiver provided at enrollment also applies.

We may update these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the current version.
