6. Terms for Course Customers
6.1 License to Use Course Materials
Customers of Fine Art Tutorials courses have license permission to use course materials for their own personal use. This does not mean they own the materials. The license to use the product(s) they have bought is non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited, and revocable.
Customers must not use course materials for commercial purposes, for instance, redistributing the course materials or replicating the content. Customers must not download course lessons or any other course materials for the purpose of redistributing them, sharing them online, or otherwise making them available to third parties. Customers must not share course content with third parties or share account information with others. Any breach of these restrictions may result in the immediate suspension or termination of your account, and Fine Art Tutorials reserves the right to take legal action to protect its rights.
6.2 Account Responsibilities
When you create an account to access a course, you are responsible for keeping your login details secure and confidential. You must not share your account with anyone else. You are responsible for all activity that takes place under your account. Please tell us right away if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account.
6.4 Results Disclaimer
Results from the course may vary, and improvement as a result of taking the course is not guaranteed. It depends on the work that the student is able to put in to achieve the results. We are not responsible for technical issues on the customer’s end, such as internet connectivity or device compatibility, that may affect course access. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure they have the necessary tools, such as internet access and compatible devices, to access the course.
Some course lessons may involve practical activities that require the use of physical tools, including sharp implements such as knives for tasks like sharpening pencils. You are responsible for using all tools safely, following any instructions provided in the course, and ensuring you have a suitable and safe workspace before carrying out any practical activity. Participation in any hands-on activity is at your own risk. If you are under 18, or if you are unsure about using any tool safely, you should seek supervision or assistance from a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult before proceeding. Nothing in this clause excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.
6.3 Safety and Use of Tools
6.5 Payment Terms
By making a payment for a product or service, you agree and confirm that: (i) the credit card or alternative payment method information (such as PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, etc.) you provide is accurate, truthful, and complete, (ii) you are fully authorized to use the provided payment method for the transaction, (iii) any charges incurred by you will be accepted and processed by your payment provider, (iv) you will fulfill all payment obligations, including the posted prices, applicable taxes, shipping, and handling fees, regardless of any initial quote displayed on the Website or Applications at the time of purchase, (v) if you are a minor, you have obtained permission from your parent or guardian to use the provided payment method for this purchase, and (vi) you have read, fully understood, and agree to the payment amount on the relevant checkout page. If you signed up for a payment plan or monthly payment subscription, you understand the amount that will be charged and the number of months it will be charged for, as described on the relevant product checkout page you signed up through.
When making a payment for a product through the checkout page, the customer gives permission for Fine Art Tutorials to charge the payment account automatically. When paying via instalments, the customer gives permission to Fine Art Tutorials to automatically charge the payment account for the amount specified each month until the full payment has been made.
6.6 Refunds
The customer is entitled to a refund if they contact the email address provided on the contact page within the 14-day return window. If the customer asks for a refund, access to the product(s) they have purchased will be revoked. If the customer chooses to pay for the product in instalments and fails to pay a portion of the product price by cancelling the payment, access to the product will be revoked.
Refunds will only be granted within the window of 14 days, and only if the customer has completed less than 50% of the course material.
Customers must contact us directly at the email address found on the contact page to request a refund or resolve any issues before initiating a chargeback or dispute with their bank. We are committed to resolving concerns promptly and fairly.
6.7 Lifetime Access
The term “lifetime access,” which is a guarantee for customers of the course, applies to the time the course business is live.
7. Terms and Conditions for the Affiliate Program
The Affiliate program may also be referred to as the Refer a Friend program.
Affiliate: An affiliate is an individual who registers for the Affiliate or Refer a Friend program to promote the Drawing Fundamentals Course. Affiliates share their unique referral links with others and earn rewards for successful referrals that result in course enrollments.
Referral: A referral is the individual who enrolls in the Drawing Fundamentals Course using an affiliate’s unique referral link. Referrals are the participants introduced to the course by affiliates through the program.
By participating in the Refer a Friend program, affiliates agree to the following terms and conditions:
Eligibility
The Refer a Friend program is open to individuals who have enrolled in the Drawing Fundamentals course.
Referral Process
- Once enrolled, participants will have access to unique referral links to share with friends.
- Rewards will only be issued for referrals who successfully enroll in the course using the affiliate’s unique link.
- Fine Art Tutorials issues rewards manually and reserves the right to verify each referral’s enrollment before issuing rewards.
Reward Details
- Participants will earn a reward equivalent to 15% of the course price per qualifying referral on selected offers. Exact reward amounts may vary based on the course pricing at the time of referral.
- Rewards are non-transferable and will be issued to the PayPal account that the affiliate provided upon signing up for the affiliate program.
- If the affiliate does not provide a PayPal email address, Fine Art Tutorials reserves the right to hold the funds.
Limitations
- A referral will only qualify if the referred individual completes the enrollment and payment process using the unique referral link.
- Self-referrals or fraudulent activities are strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification from the program.
- Payout from a referral will be eligible after the 14-day return window has elapsed for that particular referral.
- Fine Art Tutorials reserves the right to determine the payment schedule for all rewards and may adjust the timing at its sole discretion.
- Affiliate commissions are only eligible through the offers determined by Fine Art Tutorials. This currently includes the Drawing Fundamentals 30% offer. If customers sign up to the course through another offer, the affiliate will not be eligible for a commission.
Program Modifications
- We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Refer a Friend Affiliate program at any time without prior notice.
- Any changes will not affect rewards already earned prior to the changes taking effect.
Dispute Resolution
In the event of a dispute regarding rewards, enrollment, or qualification, our decision will be final and binding.
By sharing the referral link and participating in the program, the affiliate confirms that they have read and agreed to these terms and conditions.
8. Account Suspension and Termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account or access to the Site or any course at any time if:
- You break these Terms
- You misuse the Site, course materials, or your account
- You share, redistribute, or resell course content
- We are required to do so by law
- We reasonably believe your conduct may harm us, other users, or third parties
Where a course customer’s access is terminated because of a breach, you may not be entitled to a refund, subject to your rights under applicable consumer law.
You may stop using the Site at any time. If you wish to close your course account, please contact us at emily@finearttutorials.com. Any sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — such as intellectual property, limitations on liability, and the Binding Arbitration Agreement — will continue to apply.
9. Data Collection and Cookie Consent
We care about your privacy and handle your personal data in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.
When you use the Site, we may collect and process personal data as described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Declaration. These documents explain what data we collect, why we collect it, the lawful bases we rely on, and the rights you have over your data.
We use cookies and similar technologies, managed through our Consent Management Platform (CookieYes). Essential cookies keep the Site working and do not require consent. Non-essential cookies — including analytics and advertising cookies (such as those used for Google Analytics and Pinterest advertising) — are only set after you give consent through the cookie banner.
Where we rely on your consent to process data, you can withdraw that consent at any time by reopening the cookie settings on the Site or by following the opt-out instructions in our Privacy Policy. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it. You also have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or request portability of your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
This clause is intended to sit alongside — and not replace — the “Consent to Data Collection” section below.
10. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Non-US Consumer Carveout
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or your use of the Site, are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, as set out in the Dispute Resolution and Governing Law section below. Where you are accessing the Site as a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects any mandatory, non-excludable rights or protections you are entitled to under the laws of your home country or jurisdiction that cannot be waived or overridden by contract.
Nothing in these Terms removes, limits, or overrides any mandatory, non-excludable consumer protections or rights that apply to you under the laws of your home jurisdiction or country of residence, where those rights cannot legally be waived or excluded by contract.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, products, services, tools, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Any changes take effect once the updated Terms are posted on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
If you have questions about any changes to these Terms, please contact us at emily@finearttutorials.com.
Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
We want to resolve any concern quickly and fairly. If you have a complaint or dispute about these Terms, our courses, or your use of the Site, please contact us first before taking any formal steps.
1. Contact Us First
Email us at emily@finearttutorials.com with your name, the details of your concern, and what you would like us to do to put things right. We will do our best to respond promptly and work with you toward a fair resolution.
2. Informal Resolution
Once you contact us, both sides agree to try in good faith to resolve the matter informally. We ask that you give us a reasonable opportunity to help before escalating further.
3. If We Cannot Resolve It Informally
If we are unable to reach a resolution within 30 days of you first contacting us, either of us may take the matter to court.
4. Governing Law
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or connected with them or your use of the Site, are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
5. Jurisdiction
The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction to deal with any dispute, subject to the consumer protections set out below.
6. International Consumer Rights
If you are a consumer living outside England and Wales, you may still benefit from any mandatory legal protections that apply under the laws of your home country. This includes the right, in some cases, to bring a claim in the courts where you live and to rely on the consumer laws that apply there.
7. Nothing Here Removes Your Legal Rights
Nothing in this section removes, replaces, or limits any rights you have as a consumer under the law that applies to you, where those rights cannot be waived or excluded by contract. Where your local law gives you stronger protections than these Terms, those local protections will apply.
Consent to Data Collection
These Terms of Service incorporate our Privacy Policy https://finearttutorials.com/privacy-policy/, which describes how we, our vendors, and our service providers collect and use data when you use the Site. Your use of the Site is subject to that Privacy Policy. Where consent is required for data processing — such as for non-essential cookies or advertising technologies — that consent is obtained through the CookieYes cookie banner or other specific consent mechanisms on the Site, and not through acceptance of these Terms alone. You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time by following the opt-out instructions in the Privacy Policy or clicking the provided links on the Site.
Limitations on Liability
We take care to provide our courses, digital products, publications, and website with reasonable skill and care. Even so, we need to be clear about the limits of our responsibility to you. This section explains those limits and applies to us, as well as to our vendors and service providers where relevant.
1. Nothing We Never Exclude
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. This includes liability for:
- death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
- fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and
- any other liability that the law does not allow us to exclude.
2. Your Legal Rights as a Consumer
If you are a consumer, you have legal rights that cannot be signed away. Nothing in this section affects those rights. Where the law that applies to you gives you stronger protection than these Terms, that law takes priority.
3. Losses We Are Not Responsible For
To the extent allowed by applicable law, we are not responsible for:
- indirect or knock-on losses that were not a foreseeable result of the issue;
- loss of profit, revenue, business, or goodwill;
- loss or corruption of data; or
- losses caused by events outside our reasonable control.
4. Limit on Our Total Liability
Where we are legally responsible to you, and to the extent allowed by applicable law, our total liability for any claim connected to a course, product, or service is limited to the amount you paid us for that course, product, or service.
5. Using Our Content at Your Own Judgment
Our courses and publications share techniques, tips, and creative guidance. They are provided for general educational purposes. Please use your own judgment, follow any safety guidance for tools and materials, and take sensible care when applying anything you learn. To the extent allowed by applicable law, we are not liable for choices you make based on our content.
6. Third-Party Platforms and Services
Some parts of our service rely on third-party platforms, vendors, and service providers. Where a problem is caused by one of these third parties rather than by us, our responsibility is limited accordingly, to the extent allowed by applicable law.
