TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated on: October 7, 2019BACKGROUND
- 1. Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our Services, to enable you to master the art of Millinery (headwear making) through video content via streaming. We provide our registered members with paid access to video tutorials, audio, graphics, photos, forums and discussions. These Terms are set up to protect Hat Academy and its users. Enjoy the wonderful world of millinery!
- 2. The purpose of Our Website is to promote the teaching and learning of millinery skills in a positive and constructive environment.
We aim to provide a positive, friendly and respectful online community, within which users can share their skills and experiences, can seek support from others and can provide and receive constructive feedback.
The Services are provided for your own personal, domestic and/or hobby use and are not intended to enable professional millinery practice. (All of this section B is referred to as the ‘Purpose’.)
- 3. We will not permit conduct which is contrary to our Purpose and we reserve the right (although we accept no obligation) to remove or edit User Content, and to suspend your Hat Academy member account if, in our discretion, we deem it and/or your actions to be contrary to our Purpose or these Terms.
- 4. We may, at any time, implement types or categories of Hat Academy member accounts (e.g. to allow multi-user or multi-viewer accounts, or for accounts intended for use in educational institutions) and we may set differential pricing applicable to the different membership types.
Unless specifically stated otherwise (e.g. on the ‘sign-up’ page when you register for your member account), all Hat Academy member accounts are single-user, single-viewer, accounts and must not be shared.
- 5. We may, from time to time, group or bundle any Course Materials into Courses and, if we do, we may issue ‘certificates of completion’ or other awards or certificates in our discretion.
Presently, the only certificate issued by us is awarded on completion of the ‘Millinery Essentials Course’, which is granted once a student satisfactorily fulfils the set criteria based on lessons 1-30 of the ‘Millinery Essentials Course’.
The criteria we use for assessment are based on techniques taught as currently there is no registered international standard for the millinery trade. The Certificate awarded upon completion of the ‘Millinery Essentials Course’ certifies the student’s success based on ten varied styles of headwear.
Receipt of any certificate in relation to any Course offered by us does not guarantee employment or business outcomes.

7.1 If you Post User Content to any public area of Our Website, then it becomes available in for public viewing. We have no control over who sees it or what viewers may do with it.
7.2 Even if access to User Content is behind a user registration, it remains effectively available for public viewing, because someone has only to register and log in (without any requirement for payment) to access it.

We want you to remain safe when providing information over the internet, so please do not Post any information which may endanger your personal or financial safety or the personal or financial safety of others.

You represent and warrant that you are authorised to grant all such rights. Photographs and other content posted by a member may be used on social networks and in Hat Academy Newsletters
7.4 We will use that licence only for commercial purposes of the business of Our Website and will stop using it after a commercially reasonable period of time.
7.5 By agreeing to these Terms, you consent to any act or omission by us which would otherwise constitute an infringement of your moral rights..
7.6 Posting User Content of any sort does not change your ownership of the copyright in it. We have no claim to ownership of it or any other rights in it, other than in accordance with the licence granted to us by these Terms, and we will not protect your rights for you.
7.7 You understand that you are personally responsible for your breach of someone else’s intellectual property rights, copyright, defamation, or any law, which may occur as a result of any User Content having been Posted by you;
7.8 We encourage originality in millinery creativity. Please be aware that replicating other milliner’s designs can be an infringement of another milliner’s intellectual property and that may lead to reputational damage or to criticism of you, or to legal action.

7.10 Please notify us of any security breach or unauthorised use of your account. We do not solicit ideas or text for improvement of our Service, but if you do send to us material of any sort, you are deemed to have granted to us a licence to use it in the terms set out at sub paragraph 7.3 above.
