Terms of Service

Welcome to Our Design Education Platform

These terms of service govern your use of our design education platform and courses. By enrolling in our programs or using our services, you agree to these terms and commit to maintaining the standards of our learning community. We've designed these terms to protect both students and instructors while fostering an environment of creative growth and professional development.

Your Account and Enrollment

When you create an account with us, you become part of our design education community. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Each account is personal to you and cannot be shared with others or used for commercial purposes beyond your own professional development.

Course Enrollment and Access

Upon successful enrollment and payment, you gain access to your chosen course materials, including video lessons, downloadable resources, project templates, and community features. Course access is typically provided for an extended period to allow you to learn at your own pace, though specific durations may vary by program.

Academic Integrity

We expect all students to maintain high standards of academic integrity. This means completing assignments independently, properly attributing any external resources or inspiration, and respecting the intellectual property of instructors and fellow students. Plagiarism or dishonest behavior may result in removal from courses without refund.

Course Content and Intellectual Property

All course materials, including videos, worksheets, templates, and written content, are protected by intellectual property laws. These materials are provided exclusively for your personal learning and professional development. You may not redistribute, sell, or share course content with others outside the platform.

Your Work and Portfolio

Projects and designs you create during our courses remain your intellectual property. We encourage you to showcase your work in your professional portfolio and use it to advance your design career. However, by participating in our courses, you grant us permission to feature your work as examples of student success, with proper attribution to you.

Feedback and Critique

Our courses include peer review and instructor feedback as essential components of the learning process. By submitting work for review, you consent to receiving constructive criticism and agree to provide thoughtful feedback to fellow students. All feedback should be professional, respectful, and focused on helping others improve their design skills.

Payment Terms and Refund Policy

Course fees are clearly displayed before enrollment and must be paid in full before gaining access to course materials. We accept various payment methods and process all transactions securely through trusted payment partners. Prices are subject to change, but you will pay the price displayed at the time of your enrollment.

Refund Conditions

We offer refunds within the first 14 days of course enrollment if you have completed less than 25% of the course content. Refund requests must be submitted through your account dashboard and will be processed within 5-10 business days. After the initial refund period, all sales are final, though we may consider exceptional circumstances on a case-by-case basis.

Course Modifications

We continuously improve our courses based on student feedback and industry developments. This may involve updating content, adding new modules, or modifying existing lessons. Enrolled students automatically receive access to these improvements at no additional cost. In rare cases where significant changes occur, we will notify students in advance.

Community Guidelines and Conduct

Our learning community thrives on mutual respect, creativity, and professional collaboration. We expect all members to treat others with courtesy, provide constructive feedback, and contribute positively to discussions. Harassment, discrimination, or unprofessional behavior will not be tolerated and may result in immediate removal from our platform.

Communication Standards

When participating in course discussions, submitting questions, or interacting with instructors and peers, please maintain professional communication standards. This includes using appropriate language, staying on topic, and respecting different perspectives and experience levels within our diverse learning community.

Platform Availability and Technical Requirements

We strive to maintain consistent platform availability, but occasional maintenance, updates, or technical issues may temporarily affect access to course materials. We will provide advance notice of scheduled maintenance when possible and work quickly to resolve any technical problems that arise.

System Requirements

Our platform is designed to work on modern browsers and devices. You are responsible for ensuring your technology meets the minimum requirements for accessing course content, including reliable internet connectivity, updated browser software, and any specific design software mentioned in course descriptions.

Certification and Continuing Education

Upon successful completion of course requirements, including all assignments and assessments, you will receive a certificate of completion. These certificates verify your participation in our program and can be used to demonstrate your commitment to professional development, though they do not constitute formal academic credentials.

Ongoing Learning Support

Your relationship with our learning community doesn't end when you complete a course. We provide ongoing resources, career guidance, and opportunities to engage with fellow alumni. This includes access to updated materials, networking events, and advanced course offerings to support your continued growth as a design professional.

Limitation of Liability

While we are committed to providing high-quality design education, we cannot guarantee specific career outcomes or employment results. Your success depends on many factors, including your dedication to learning, application of skills, and market conditions. We provide tools and knowledge; you provide the effort and commitment necessary for professional growth.

Termination of Services

Either party may terminate the relationship under these terms. You may cancel your account at any time, though access to course materials will end according to the terms of your enrollment. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these terms or engage in behavior harmful to our learning community.

Changes to Terms of Service

We may update these terms periodically to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or platform features. Significant changes will be communicated to enrolled students through their account dashboard or other appropriate channels. Continued use of our platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Contact and Support

If you have questions about these terms or need assistance with any aspect of your learning experience, our support team is available to help. We believe in clear communication and want to ensure you understand your rights and responsibilities as a member of our design education community.
