Payment and Refund Policies


GUARANTEED WORK......If you're between the ages of 18 and 60, are legally allowed to work in Auckland, New Zealand and have your own transport - we guarantee you work within your first year or your money back.  JOIN NOW

If you are offered work and turn it down, this is considered an offer of work so our guarantee is fulfilled. This is for your first year only. All annual fees are non-refundable, unless stipulated in the above guarantee.

Once an artiste has worked and completed the job within the required time frame their contracted fee (minus tax and commision) is paid within 6 - 8 weeks of a job being completed or when the client pays us - whichever is sooner. We have one payment run per month on the 20th of the month.
