This infrastructure is owned by third-party service providers, by using our services you agree to be bound by their Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies.
2. HOW WE PAY OUR BILLS
Through your subscription payments, we are able to provide you our products and services. The following terms outline how your subscription works.
Your purchase of an account subscriptions allows you to have access to our Products and services continuously or regularly over time. If you subscribe for a fixed-term subscription, services start on the day the payment is received and lasts for the subscription period as defined in the purchasing process.

You shall not use our Products to do or share anything:
We can remove or restrict access to content that is in violation of these provisions. See Section 5.b. that describes how we can suspend or disable your account for conduct that violates these provisions.

We need certain permissions from you so that we may provide our services:
In other words, when you share content covered by intellectual property rights in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and user settings).

5. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
We work to improve our services to make our Products better for you and our community. To this end, these Terms may need to be updated occasionally to better reflect our services, and/or to comply with applicable law. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you before changing these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. Once any updated Terms are in effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to use our Products.
We hope that you will continue using our Products, but if you do not agree to our updated Terms or no longer want to be a part of The Handweaving Academy community, you can delete your account at any time. However, deleting your account does not exempt you from paying any applicable fees or prices remaining on your subscription.
We want The Handweaving Academy to be a safe place where people feel free to express themselves and share their mutual interests.
If we determine that you have clearly breached our Terms or policies, we may suspend or permanently disable your access to Handweaving Products, and we may permanently disable or terminate your account. We may also disable or terminate your account if we determine you have repeatedly infringed upon other people’s intellectual property rights. Our decision to suspend or permanently disable your account due to a breach of our Terms or policies does not exempt you from paying any applicable fees or prices remaining on your subscription.
If after registration your account is left uncompleted, your account remains inactive for an extended period of time, or if we detect someone may have used your account without your permission and we are unable to confirm your ownership, we may disable or delete your account. Due to our own operating costs and maintenance associated with every user, refunds for disabled or deleted accounts as a result of inactivity will be determined by us on a case-by-case basis.
Where we take such action, we endeavor to fully explain any options you have, unless doing so may expose us or others to legal liability; harm, compromise or interfere with our community of users, services, or Products.
If you delete or we disable or terminate your account, these Terms shall terminate as an agreement between you and us, but the following provisions will remain in place: 6, and 7.
6. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
We strive to provide the best Products on the market and try to set clear guidelines for everyone who uses them. However, because our Products operate on the internet, they are provided “as is,” and we can make no guarantees that they always will be safe, secure, or error-free, or that they will function without disruptions, delays, or imperfections. To the extent permitted by law, we DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not control or direct what people and others do or say, and we are not responsible for their actions or conduct (whether online or offline) or any content they share (including offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, and other objectionable content).
We cannot predict when issues might arise with our Products. Accordingly, our liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and under no circumstance will we be liable to you for any lost profits, revenues, information, or data, or consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, punitive, or incidental damages arising out of or related to these Terms or the Handweaving Products (however caused and on any theory of liability, including negligence), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. You further agree to indemnify Handweaving, its employees and applicable affiliates for any costs or fees arising from any claim you make of warranty or liability, hereby disclaimed. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Handweaving Products will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months.
7. DISPUTES
We try to provide clear rules so that we can limit or hopefully avoid disputes between you and us. If a dispute does arise, we endeavor to resolve it internally, please contact us at support@handweavingacademy.com Attn: Management – Dispute. We will work diligently to resolve your concerns.
Should we fail to resolve your concerns, we believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. This Section is deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and we agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.
Therefore, pursuant to these Terms, if you have any dispute or disagreement with us regarding (i) your use of or interaction with the Handweaving Products or services, (ii) any subscriptions or other purchases, transactions or relationships related to your use of the Handweaving Products, or (iii) any data or information you may provide to us or that we may gather in connection with such use, interaction, subscriptions, purchases, transactions or relationships (collectively, “Handweaving Transactions or Relationships”), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court, or have a jury decide the claim and you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. By using or interacting with the Handweaving Products or engaging in any other Handweaving Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.
We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, by using the Handweaving Products, you agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against us, and any claim that we may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms or any Handweaving Transactions or Relationships shall be resolved exclusively by final, confidential and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the “Applicable Rules” in such circumstances). If JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) at the time the arbitration is filed has Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for Consumer Arbitrations in effect that would be applicable to the matter in dispute, we agree to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this Section, provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of subpart (e) or (i) below. Furthermore, this Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies (that is, a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You further agree that:
a. Single Arbitrator Presumed
The Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between you and us (the “Arbitrator”). However, at the request of either party, a panel of three arbitrators will conduct the arbitration, with one arbitrator chosen by each of the parties and the third appointed by the other two arbitrators.
b. Arbitrator Will Interpret This Agreement
The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms and/or these arbitration provisions, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable.
c. Location of Arbitration
The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location near Santa Clara, California as determined pursuant to the Applicable Rules; or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and us; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone, virtually, or by written submission.
d. Governing Law
The Arbitrator (i) shall apply internal laws of the State of California consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the U.S., irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with Delaware or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief.
e. No Class Relief
The Arbitration can resolve only your and/or our individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, EXCEPT WHERE SUCH WAIVER IS PROHIBITED BY LAW OR DEEMED BY A COURT OF LAW TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY.
To the extent either party is permitted by law or court of law to proceed with a class or representative action against the other, the parties agree that: (i) the prevailing party shall not be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees or costs associated with pursuing the class or representative action (notwithstanding any other provision in this agreement); and (ii) the party who initiates or participates as a member of the class will not submit a claim or otherwise participate in any recovery secured through the class or representative action.
f. Written Award
The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.
g. Arbitration Costs
In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.
If the arbitrator determines a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.
h. Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause
With the exception of subpart (e) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (e) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor we shall be entitled to arbitrate any dispute between us and you, and must instead bring any claims subject to subsection (i) below.
i. Small Claims Matters are Excluded. No Class Relief or Joinder of Claims
Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, and subject to Section 7, at your option, you may bring any claim for damages you have against us in your local small claims court within the U.S., if your claim is within such court’s jurisdictional limit; provided that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding.
j. Confidentiality of Arbitration
You and we agree to maintain the confidential nature of the Arbitration and shall not disclose the fact of the Arbitration, any documents exchanged as part of any mediation, proceedings of the Arbitration, the Arbitrator’s decision and the existence or amount of any Award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the Arbitration (in which case anyone becoming privy to such confidential information must undertake to preserve its confidentiality), or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a provisional remedy, a judicial challenge to an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by applicable law or court order.
European User Disputes: If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, and think your dispute needs to be arbitrated, you can submit a complaint by completing an electronic complaints form through the ODR web portal. The Handweaving contact email which you may include as part of your ODR submission is ODR@handweavingacademy.com. Please note that this email address is only intended for use with the ODR process and not for general questions/information.
