• Being contacted by AriCléa at the information you provided

A. No Relationship Until Confirmed

Visiting this Website, submitting an inquiry, or downloading a free resource does not create a client, student, or professional relationship. A confirmed relationship is established only upon mutual written agreement, completion of required intake and consent documents, and receipt of payment or deposit.

B. Booking Process

All new clients begin with a complimentary Zoom consultation, booked at almaarthouse.square.site. The consultation is the first step for all service types, including creative tattooing, restorative medical tattooing, and the Resonance Tattoo Sound Ceremony. No tattoo session is booked directly without a consultation first.

Following the consultation, if both parties agree to move forward, a deposit is required to secure your appointment. Design fittings are available for $150 for clients who wish to review sketches before committing to a session.

Justine works Wednesday through Friday at AriCléa in Orange County, California, with limited weekend and priority booking available. Session types and rates are communicated at the time of consultation.

C. Paramedical and Tattoo Services

• All appointments require a deposit or payment in full at time of booking
• All deposits and payments are strictly non-refundable (see Section 8)
• Clients must complete all required intake and consent forms prior to their session
• We reserve the right to decline service if a health or skin condition makes a procedure inadvisable in our professional judgment, without refund of any amounts paid
• Results of paramedical tattooing vary based on individual skin type, scarring, healing response, and other factors outside our control. No specific outcome, color retention, or healing timeline is guaranteed
• Touch-up policies, if applicable, will be communicated at time of booking and are subject to our sole discretion

D. Appointment Cancellation and Rescheduling

• Cancellations fewer than 14 days before a scheduled appointment forfeit all deposits and payments, with no exceptions. Deposits will not be applied to a future session.
• Cancellations 14 or more days in advance may be eligible for a one-time rescheduling within 6 months. Deposits are not refunded but may be applied to a rescheduled session at our discretion.
• No-shows forfeit all deposits and payments with no opportunity to reschedule
• We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule appointments due to illness, emergency, or circumstances beyond our control. In such cases we will make reasonable efforts to reschedule.

A. Ownership and Copyright

All fine art paintings are original works created by Justine Almaraz. Upon full payment, the buyer receives physical ownership of the artwork only. All intellectual property rights, including copyright, reproduction rights, licensing rights, and commercial use rights, remain exclusively with the artist unless a separate written licensing agreement is executed and signed by both parties.

You may not reproduce, print, digitize, distribute, display commercially, or create derivative works from any purchased artwork without prior written licensing consent from AriCléa.

B. Pricing and Payment

All prices are in USD. We accept payment via Square, Stripe, Kajabi checkout, HoneyBook, Venmo, Zelle, and cash. Prices are subject to change without notice, but confirmed orders will be honored at the price paid at time of transaction.

C. Shipping

• All shipping costs are the sole responsibility of the buyer and will be calculated at checkout or invoiced prior to shipment
• Risk of loss and title pass to the buyer upon handoff to the shipping carrier
• We are not liable for carrier delays, losses, or damages. We will assist with carrier claims but cannot guarantee outcomes.
• If artwork arrives damaged, buyer must photograph damage and notify us within 48 hours of delivery to initiate a carrier claim
• We ship domestically and internationally. Timelines will be communicated at time of purchase.

D. Pickup and Delivery

• Local pickup is available by appointment at our Orange, CA studio
• Local delivery may be available at our discretion. All delivery fees are the buyer's sole responsibility and will be communicated in advance.

E. All Sales Final

All fine art sales are final. We do not accept returns, exchanges, or issue refunds on any educational programs, memberships, services, deposits, artwork, or any other purchase for any reason. We encourage you to review all photographs, dimensions, and descriptions thoroughly and contact us with questions before purchasing.

A. Enrollment and Access

Enrollment is confirmed upon receipt of payment in full or execution of a signed payment plan agreement. Digital course access is granted upon enrollment confirmation for the duration specified at time of purchase. Access may not be transferred, shared, or gifted.

B. In-Person Intensives and Apprenticeship

• Schedules and locations provided at enrollment, subject to reasonable modification with notice
• One (1) reschedule permitted with at least 14 days' written notice. Additional reschedules incur a $250 fee.
• Participants must comply with all studio health, safety, hygiene, and professional conduct standards
• Dismissal for cause (disruptive behavior, non-compliance, harassment) results in forfeiture of all fees without refund

C. Independent Contractor Status

Enrollment does not create an employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship. Students are independent individuals solely responsible for their own tattooing licenses, professional liability insurance, compliance with local regulations, business decisions, and tax obligations.

D. Our Growth Commitment

If you complete all assigned work, attend all required sessions, and fully apply the methods taught, and genuinely do not feel you have grown, we will personally work with you to provide additional support. This commitment does not constitute a guarantee of specific income, client volume, bookings, or business outcomes, which depend entirely on your individual effort, market, and personal circumstances.

• Scheduling conflicts or inability to attend
• Dissatisfaction with creative results, artistic style, or outcome
