Other resources, tools, or content we make available from time to time.

The specific features and deliverables included in any Service are described on the applicable enrollment or purchase page of the Platforms at the time of purchase. We reserve the right to modify, supplement, or discontinue any Service at any time. Enrollment in any Service does not guarantee participation in any future or supplemental programs that may be offered to select Members at our discretion. Non-selection for such supplemental offerings does not entitle any Member to a refund.

SECTION 3

Modifications to These Terms

We may update or revise these Terms at any time. When we do, the revised version will be posted to the Site with an updated effective date. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. Your continued use of the Platforms or your continued participation in any Service following the posting of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to any revised Terms, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Platforms and our Services.

SECTION 4

Enrollment Fees and Payment

Fees for our Services are listed on the applicable enrollment page at the time of purchase. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars. The fee in effect at the time you complete your enrollment is the fee that will apply to your order, as confirmed in your order confirmation email.

We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal where available. Payment must be received in full before access to any Service will be granted. By submitting payment, you represent and warrant that:

All payment information you provide is accurate, complete, and current;
You are authorized to use the payment method submitted;
Your payment provider will honor the charges; and
You will pay the full amount owed, including any applicable taxes or fees.

We reserve the right to correct pricing errors and to cancel any order placed at an incorrect price. We are not responsible for typographical or system errors in displayed prices.

SECTION 5

No Refund Policy

ALL ENROLLMENT FEES AND SERVICE PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.

Because our Services are delivered digitally and access is granted immediately upon purchase, all sales are final. We do not offer refunds, credits, or exchanges for any reason, including dissatisfaction with course content, failure to use the Service, or change of circumstances. By completing your enrollment, you expressly waive any right to seek a refund.

Chargebacks. Any attempt to initiate a chargeback or payment reversal with your bank or payment processor in connection with a purchase subject to these Terms will be considered a material breach. In such event, Drapery Design Collective LLC reserves the right to: (a) pursue collection of the full amount originally charged, together with any associated processing fees and reasonable legal costs; and, (b) suspend or permanently terminate your access to all Services.

SECTION 6

Ownership of Content and Intellectual Property

All content made available through the Platforms and Services, including but not limited to course videos, audio recordings, written materials, templates, worksheets, graphics, logos, and the design and layout of the Platforms, is the exclusive property of Drapery Design Collective LLC or its licensors and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Your enrollment grants you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the content solely for your own internal, non-commercial professional development. This license does not constitute a sale and does not transfer any ownership interest in the content to you.

You expressly agree that you will not:

Copy, reproduce, republish, upload, transmit, or distribute any course content or materials, in whole or in part, by any means;
Share your login credentials or otherwise allow any other person to access content through your account;
Record, screenshot, or capture any live or recorded sessions without prior written consent from us;
Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit any materials obtained through the Platforms;
Create derivative works based on our content without obtaining a separate commercial license; or
Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary rights notices.

Any unauthorized use constitutes a material breach of these Terms and an infringement of our intellectual property rights. In addition to terminating your access, we reserve the right to seek all available legal remedies, including injunctive relief and monetary damages.

Commercial Use Licensing. If you wish to use any of our content or materials in your own commercial offerings, you must obtain a separate written commercial license from us. To inquire about commercial licensing, contact us at info@draperydesigncollective.com.

SECTION 7

Community Conduct Standards

Our members-only community network is a professional space intended to support drapery design professionals. As a condition of membership, you agree to engage with all other Members respectfully and constructively. Specifically, you agree that you will not:

Post content that is abusive, harassing, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or discriminatory toward any person or group;
Solicit other Members for commercial services or opportunities without our prior written approval;
Share, distribute, or re-post any proprietary course content, materials, or resources belonging to Drapery Design Collective LLC;
Misrepresent your identity, credentials, or professional affiliation;
Introduce malware, spam, or any disruptive automated tools; or
Engage in any activity that disrupts, degrades, or interferes with the community experience of other Members.

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to monitor community activity and to remove any content or restrict any Member’s access — with or without notice — for conduct that we determine, in our sole discretion, is in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the community. Removal or suspension of community access does not entitle you to a refund of any fees paid.

SECTION 8

Disclaimers; No Warranties

Our Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Drapery Design Collective LLC expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that:

The Platforms or Services will be available at all times, uninterrupted, or error-free;
Course content will be current, complete, or suitable for your specific business circumstances;
Any particular outcome, revenue, or professional result will be achieved through participation in our Services; or
The Platforms are free from viruses or other harmful components.

Any testimonials or case studies shared on our Platforms represent individual experiences and are not a guarantee or prediction of results. Your use of the Platforms and any content downloaded therefrom is entirely at your own risk.

SECTION 9

Educational and Informational Purpose Only

The courses, materials, and community discussions offered by Drapery Design Collective LLC are provided for general educational and informational purposes related to the drapery design profession. Nothing contained in our Services should be construed as legal, financial, accounting, tax, or business advice tailored to your individual circumstances.

We are not attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, or licensed contractors. We do not endorse or verify the accuracy of information shared by Members in community forums. You should independently verify any information before relying on it and consult qualified professionals for advice specific to your situation.

SECTION 10

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Drapery Design Collective LLC and its members, managers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Platforms or Services, including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, loss of goodwill, or cost of substitute services, regardless of the legal theory asserted and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event will our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from or related to these Terms or the Services exceed the total amount you actually paid to us for the specific Service giving rise to the claim during the twelve (12) months preceding the date the claim arose.

Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability for certain types of damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

SECTION 11

Your Indemnification Obligations

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Drapery Design Collective LLC and its affiliates, members, managers, employees, contractors, attorneys, and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

Your access to or use of the Platforms or Services;
Any content or materials you post or share through our community forums or Platforms;
Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation;
Your infringement of any third-party right, including intellectual property or privacy rights; or
Any misrepresentation you make in connection with your use of the Services.

We reserve the right to assume control of the defense of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.

SECTION 12

Privacy and Personal Data

We are committed to protecting the privacy of our Members. Our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference, describes how we collect, use, store, and share personal information in connection with your use of the Platforms and Services. By using the Platforms or enrolling in any Service, you acknowledge and consent to the data practices described in our Privacy Policy.

While we implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will be unable to circumvent those measures. You provide personal information to us at your own risk.

SECTION 13

Copyright, DMCA Notices, and Trademarks

All trademarks, service marks, trade names, and logos displayed on the Platforms are proprietary to Drapery Design Collective LLC or its licensors. You may not use, reproduce, or display these marks without our prior written consent.

We will respond promptly to valid notices and may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content pending investigation.

SECTION 14

Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES THAT ALL DISPUTES BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platforms, or the Services — including questions about the formation, interpretation, breach, validity, or enforceability of these Terms — will be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms. Arbitration hearings will be conducted in Pennsylvania unless the parties mutually agree to a different location or a virtual format.

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to contact us at info@draperydesigncollective.com and provide a written description of the dispute, the relief you are seeking, and your contact information. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within sixty (60) days. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may initiate formal arbitration proceedings.

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes, including any issues regarding the scope, validity, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party will bear its own costs and attorney’s fees unless the arbitrator determines otherwise; AAA filing fees will be allocated in accordance with AAA rules.

Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or prevent irreparable harm while arbitration proceedings are pending. You also retain the right to bring qualifying individual claims in small claims court, provided the matter remains within that court’s jurisdiction and is pursued only on an individual basis.

SECTION 15

Waiver of Class and Representative Actions

YOU AND DRAPERY DESIGN COLLECTIVE LLC EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE BROUGHT SOLELY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND DRAPERY DESIGN COLLECTIVE LLC EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

SECTION 16

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. For any matter not subject to arbitration under Section 14, or for the limited purposes of enforcing an arbitration award, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania and waive any objection to venue in those courts.

SECTION 17

Suspension and Termination of Access

These Terms remain in effect for as long as you access or use the Platforms or Services. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to suspend or permanently terminate your access to any or all Services — with or without cause and with or without notice — including for violation of these Terms, non-payment, abusive conduct toward other Members, or misuse of intellectual property.

Upon termination, your license to use any course content or materials immediately expires. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will do so, including Sections 6 (Intellectual Property), 10 (Limitation of Liability), 11 (Indemnification), 14 (Arbitration), 15 (Class Action Waiver), and 16 (Governing Law).

SECTION 18

General Provisions

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any enrollment agreement or order confirmation, constitute the entire agreement between you and Drapery Design Collective LLC with respect to your use of the Platforms and Services, and supersede all prior agreements, representations, or understandings on these subjects.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. A waiver in one instance does not constitute a continuing or future waiver.

Assignment. You may not assign, transfer, or delegate your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may freely assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.

Electronic Communications. By using the Platforms, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, including by email or through postings on the Platforms. You agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing.

International Access. Our Platforms are operated from the United States. If you access the Platforms from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws.

Children. Our Services are not intended for persons under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that a minor has enrolled in our Services, we will take steps to remove that person’s account.
