Online Course Terms

1. Enrollment and Included Materials

The product page and checkout confirmation identify the purchased offer. Depending on the offer, enrollment may include prerecorded video chapters, demonstrations from right- and left-hand views, printable charts, numbered bead maps, color recipes, supply lists, project instructions, account progress tools, and limited instructor feedback. Only the items expressly described as included are part of the enrollment.

Physical beads, thread, needles, findings, tools, storage, printing, internet access, and devices are not included unless a product page clearly says otherwise. Supplier references are suggestions, and students may purchase compatible materials from other lawful sources.

2. Course Level and Prerequisites

Beginner classes are designed for students with little or no experience, but basic hand coordination, close visual work, and safe handling of needles and tools are required. Advanced courses may assume familiarity with thread tension, pattern reading, common stitches, and finishing. Prerequisites are guidance rather than a guarantee that a course will feel easy or difficult to a particular student.

Students are responsible for reviewing the description and asking questions before purchase if they are uncertain about fit, accessibility, or required equipment.

3. Access Period and Progress

The stated access period begins when access credentials or a digital delivery notice are issued, unless the product page states a scheduled start date. “Lifetime access,” when used, means access for the commercially reasonable life of the purchased product and the platform, not the lifetime of the student, instructor, company, or any particular technology. We may migrate content to a replacement platform and require a new login.

Progress records can be affected by browser settings, account changes, platform migrations, or deleted cookies. Students should retain copies of permitted downloads and their order confirmation.

4. Self-Paced Learning and Scheduling

Unless a live date is expressly stated, courses are self-paced. References to “six weeks” or “eight weeks” describe a recommended learning sequence, not a deadline or promise that every student will finish in that time. Practice, rework, sourcing, drying or curing time, and individual dexterity can change completion time.

If a live critique, studio hour, or scheduled feature is offered, dates may be adjusted for instructor illness, platform failure, insufficient participation, or events outside reasonable control. An equivalent recording, replacement session, extended access, or another reasonable remedy may be provided.

5. Instructor Feedback

Feedback may be provided through written notes, annotated images, recorded comments, group sessions, or another method described on the product page. Feedback is limited to the number, format, submission window, and response scope stated for the offer. It is educational critique, not production supervision, certification, appraisal, or a guarantee that a piece is structurally safe or commercially marketable.

Students must submit clear, relevant images and questions. We may decline files that contain malware, unrelated content, unlawful material, excessive personal information, or images of another person submitted without permission.

6. Digital Patterns and Accuracy

Patterns are test-woven and reviewed before publication, but bead size, finish, manufacturing tolerance, thread choice, tension, printing scale, and student substitutions can affect fit and count. Students should check printer scaling, read the full instructions, and test a short section before committing rare or expensive materials.

If a confirmed material error is found, we may issue a corrected file, errata notice, replacement lesson, or other reasonable correction. A correction does not automatically create a refund right where the educational product remains usable and the issue is promptly remedied.

7. Student Responsibilities

Students are responsible for obtaining suitable materials, maintaining a safe workspace, following tool and product instructions, protecting account credentials, backing up permitted downloads, meeting submission windows, and using respectful language. Students should stop work when uncertain about tool safety, allergies, sharp edges, child or pet exposure, or the structural suitability of a finished item.

• Use adequate lighting and a stable work surface.
• Keep needles, wire cutters, small beads, adhesives, and findings away from children and animals.
• Follow manufacturer warnings for coatings, metals, adhesives, lamps, magnification tools, and finishing products.
• Do not rely on a decorative tutorial as a substitute for professional safety, medical, legal, tax, or product-compliance advice.

8. Membership Features

A membership may provide access to a changing library, new monthly lessons, studio critiques, or community features while the membership remains active. The exact current benefits are shown on the membership page. Some content may rotate, be replaced, or move into an archive. Unless otherwise stated, cancellation ends access at the close of the paid billing period.

Previously purchased standalone courses remain governed by their own access terms and are not canceled merely because a separate membership ends.

9. Community and Group Participation

Where group discussion or critique is offered, students must respect privacy, intellectual property, and different skill levels. Do not repost another student’s project, critique, name, image, or personal information outside the authorized space. Commercial solicitation, harassment, discriminatory abuse, spam, or repeated disruption may result in removal without refund for the affected period where permitted by law.

10. Certificates and Educational Status

Any completion badge or certificate confirms participation or completion within the IDEMICOGOLDY platform only. It is not an academic degree, professional license, trade qualification, safety certification, or accreditation by a government, school, employer, or jewelry-industry body. Acceptance by an employer, marketplace, school, insurer, or other third party is not guaranteed.

11. Commercial Use of Finished Jewelry

Students may generally sell physical jewelry they personally make from the techniques taught, unless a specific pattern is marked personal-use-only. This permission does not allow sale or distribution of the pattern, chart, video, lesson text, screenshots, templates, course recordings, or substantially reproduced instructional materials. Students are responsible for product safety, labeling, consumer disclosures, taxes, marketplace rules, and intellectual-property clearance for their own products and business names.

12. Technical Requirements

A current browser, stable internet connection, supported video playback, a valid email address, and PDF viewing or printing capability may be needed. Mobile viewing can be convenient, but detailed chart work may require a larger screen or printed copy. We do not guarantee compatibility with obsolete browsers, modified devices, unsupported extensions, or networks that block required media services.

13. Support and Course Changes

Support covers access, billing routing, file-delivery questions, and reasonable clarification of included content. It does not include unlimited private tutoring, custom pattern design, emergency response, repair of physical jewelry, or technical support for third-party devices and printers.

We may correct, reorganize, caption, re-record, or replace lessons. If a material part of a paid offer becomes permanently unavailable during a promised access period, we will provide a reasonable substitute, extension, account credit, or refund appropriate to the affected portion, subject to applicable law.
