The terms
of this course

9.1

Method of delivery. Digital Products are delivered exclusively by electronic means, by granting the Customer access to the Content within the Platform. No physical medium is supplied.

9.2

Time of delivery. Unless expressly stated otherwise on the sales page, access is granted immediately, or within a maximum of twenty-four (24) hours, after the Confirmation of Order and receipt of cleared payment.

9.3

Scheduled or drip-fed Content. Where a Product is expressly presented as being released progressively, in cohorts, or on a scheduled basis, delivery occurs in accordance with the release schedule communicated at the time of sale. The purchase of such a Product constitutes acceptance of that schedule.

9.4

Delivery address. Delivery is deemed validly effected upon dispatch of access details to the email address supplied by the Customer at checkout. The Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy of that address and for ensuring that messages from the Seller are not blocked, filtered, or classified as unsolicited mail.

9.5

Failure to receive access. If the Customer has not received access within twenty-four (24) hours of payment, they must contact the Seller at the address in Article 27. The Seller undertakes to remedy any genuine delivery failure promptly. A delivery failure attributable to an incorrect email address, a full mailbox, or a spam filter does not constitute a failure of the Seller.

9.6

Duration of access. Unless a specific access period is stated on the sales page, access to the Content is granted for the operational lifetime of the Product on the Platform, and for a minimum guaranteed period of twelve (12) months from the date of purchase. The expression "lifetime access", where used in marketing materials, means access for so long as the Seller continues to operate and make the relevant Product available, and does not constitute a perpetual guarantee independent of the existence of the business or of the Platform.

9.7

Withdrawal of a Product. Should the Seller permanently discontinue a Product before the expiry of the minimum guaranteed period referred to in Article 9.6, the Seller shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Customer with a downloadable copy of the core Content or with an equivalent alternative Product.

9.8

Technical requirements. The Customer is responsible for possessing, at their own cost, the hardware, software, operating system, browser, and internet connection required to access the Content. Minimum requirements, where relevant, are indicated on the sales page. Incompatibility of the Customer's own equipment does not constitute a lack of conformity.

10.1

Ownership. All elements of the Products, the Content, and the Platform — including without limitation video, audio, text, scripts, curricula, teaching methodologies, sequences of instruction, artworks, paintings, drawings, sketches, reference photographs, brushwork demonstrations, colour formulas, palettes, templates, worksheets, prompts, software, source code, databases, trade marks, logos, brand names, typography, visual identity, and graphic design — are and remain the exclusive property of the Seller or of its licensors.

10.2

Protection. These elements are protected by the French Intellectual Property Code (Code de la propriété intellectuelle), by European Union law, and by the international treaties on copyright, including the Berne Convention.

10.3

Moral rights. The Seller expressly asserts his moral rights as author, including the right to be identified as the author of the works and the right to the integrity of the works, in accordance with Article L. 121-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code.

10.4

No transfer. The sale of a Product effects no transfer, assignment, or licence of any intellectual property right whatsoever, other than the strictly limited personal licence set out in Article 11.

10.5

Reservation of rights. All rights not expressly granted to the Customer under these Terms are reserved by the Seller.

10.6

Text and data mining reservation. The Seller expressly reserves all rights of reproduction and extraction for the purposes of text and data mining, within the meaning of Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 and Article L. 122-5-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code. No part of the Content may be used for the training, fine-tuning, evaluation, grounding, retrieval-augmentation, or development of any artificial intelligence, machine-learning, or generative model, whether commercial or non-commercial. This reservation is machine-readable and applies to the entirety of the Platform and Content.

10.7

Customer materials. Where the Customer submits artwork, images, questions, or other materials to the Seller or to a community space for the purpose of receiving feedback, the Customer retains ownership of those materials and grants the Seller a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to reproduce and display them solely for the purpose of delivering feedback, moderating the community, and, where the Customer has given separate express consent, for promotional purposes.

11.1

Grant. Subject to full payment of the price and to continuing compliance with these Terms, the Seller grants the Customer a personal, individual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, and strictly limited licence to access, view, and use the Content.

11.2

Purpose of the licence. The licence is granted exclusively for the Customer's own private, personal, and non-commercial learning and self-development.

11.3

Single user. The licence is granted to one (1) named natural person. It may not be used simultaneously or successively by more than one person.

11.4

Permitted use. The Customer may: (a) stream and view the Content on devices under their personal control; (b) download and print any resource expressly marked as downloadable, for their own personal reference; (c) apply the techniques, methods, and knowledge learned in their own artistic practice, including in artworks that they create themselves and may sell as their own original works.

11.5

Clarification on the fruits of learning. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms restricts the Customer's right to create and commercialise their own original artworks made using techniques or knowledge acquired from the Content. The restrictions in Article 12 apply to the Content itself, not to the Customer's own independent creative output.

11.6

Duration and revocation. The licence subsists for the duration of access described in Article 9.6 and terminates automatically, without notice and without refund, upon any material breach of Articles 8, 12, or 13.

11.7

Effect of termination. On termination of the licence, the Customer must immediately cease all use of the Content and destroy all copies, downloads, extracts, notes reproducing the Content verbatim, and derivative materials in their possession or control.

12.1

General prohibition. Except to the strict extent permitted by mandatory law, the Customer shall not, and shall not permit or enable any third party to, carry out any of the acts listed in Article 12.2, whether for profit or free of charge.

12.2

Prohibited acts. The Customer expressly undertakes not to:

12.3

Copies and forensic marking. The Customer acknowledges that copies of the Content may be individually and invisibly marked, watermarked, or fingerprinted so as to permit identification of the Account from which any unauthorised copy originated. The Customer consents to such marking.

12.4

Presumption. Where the Content is found in unauthorised circulation and bears a forensic marker attributable to a given Account, that Account holder shall be presumed responsible for the leak, subject to proof to the contrary.

13.1

Zero tolerance. The Seller operates a zero-tolerance policy in respect of piracy, unauthorised reproduction, and unauthorised distribution of the Content.

13.2

Counterfeiting. The Customer acknowledges that any act referred to in Article 12.2 may constitute the criminal offence of contrefaçon under Articles L. 335-2 and L. 335-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code, punishable in France by up to three (3) years' imprisonment and a fine of three hundred thousand euros (€300,000), and may constitute a criminal or civil offence under the copyright legislation of the Customer's own jurisdiction.

13.3

Immediate measures. On becoming aware of a suspected breach, the Seller may, immediately and without prior notice: (a) suspend or terminate the Account and revoke the licence; (b) preserve and analyse access logs, IP addresses, device identifiers, session data, and download records; (c) issue takedown notices to hosting providers, platforms, search engines, and registrars; (d) notify the Customer's payment provider of the breach.

13.4

Legal action. The Seller reserves the right to pursue all available civil and criminal remedies, including injunctive relief, seizure (saisie-contrefaçon), and claims for damages covering lost licence revenue, investigation costs, takedown costs, and legal fees.

13.5

Contractual indemnity. Without prejudice to the Seller's right to prove and recover its actual loss in full, the Customer acknowledges that unauthorised distribution causes serious and difficult-to-quantify harm to the Seller's business, reputation, and licensing model, and agrees to indemnify the Seller against all direct losses, costs, and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating and remedying such distribution.

13.6

Reporting. Any person becoming aware of unauthorised distribution of the Content is invited to report it confidentially to the address in Article 27.

14.1

Contractual undertaking. The Customer undertakes not to initiate any chargeback, payment reversal, payment dispute, or claim with their bank or card issuer in respect of a validly placed Order for which access to the Content has been delivered.

14.2

Prior contact required. Before contacting any payment provider, the Customer undertakes to contact the Seller in good faith at the address in Article 27 so that the Seller has a genuine opportunity to resolve the matter. The Seller undertakes to respond within a reasonable period, and in any event within fourteen (14) days.

14.3

Fraudulent disputes. A chargeback initiated in respect of an Order which the Customer placed, paid for, and accessed, and which is not the result of genuine third-party card fraud, constitutes a wrongful dispute and a breach of these Terms. It may also constitute escroquerie (fraud) within the meaning of Article 313-1 of the French Criminal Code.

14.4

Consequences. In the event of a wrongful dispute, the Seller may, without notice: (a) immediately and permanently terminate the Customer's Account and revoke the licence; (b) contest the dispute with the payment provider, producing as evidence the acceptance of these Terms, the Confirmation of Order, the delivery of access, the express request for immediate performance under Article 16, and the Customer's access and consumption logs; (c) recover from the Customer the amount of the Order together with any chargeback fee levied on the Seller and all reasonable recovery costs; (d) refuse any future Order from the Customer; (e) refer the matter to a debt recovery agency or to the competent courts.

14.5

Evidence. The Customer expressly acknowledges that the Seller's access logs, timestamps, IP records, video-consumption records, and download records constitute admissible evidence between the parties of the delivery and use of the Content, and consents to their communication to payment providers, card schemes, and courts for the purposes of resolving a dispute.

14.6

Continued liability. Termination of access following a wrongful dispute does not extinguish the Customer's obligation to pay the price of the Order.

14.7

Genuine fraud. Nothing in this Article prevents a person who is the genuine victim of unauthorised use of their payment card by a third party from exercising their rights against their card issuer. The Seller will cooperate fully with any such investigation.

17.1

No guarantee of outcome. The Products are educational in nature. The Seller makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee of any kind as to the results the Customer may obtain from the Content.

17.2

Artistic results. Artistic progress depends on the Customer's individual talent, prior training, practice volume, materials, patience, and personal aptitude. The Seller does not guarantee that any Customer will attain any particular level of technical skill, realism, or artistic quality.

17.3

Commercial and financial results. Any figure, statistic, case study, testimonial, screenshot, income reference, follower count, brand collaboration, or example of success communicated by the Seller — whether relating to the Seller's own career or to that of other Customers — is presented for illustrative purposes only. It constitutes neither a promise, nor a projection, nor a typical result, nor an average result.

17.4

No income claim. The Seller makes no income claim. The Customer acknowledges that they may earn nothing at all from applying the Content, that any business involves risk, and that past performance of any person is not indicative of future results.

17.5

Audience and marketing results. The Seller does not control, and gives no warranty in respect of, the algorithms, policies, reach, monetisation rules, or account-enforcement decisions of any third-party social network, advertising platform, gallery, institution, marketplace, or brand.

17.6

Independent responsibility. The Customer alone is responsible for the decisions they take, for the artworks they create, for the businesses they build, for the prices they set, for their compliance with the tax, commercial, and professional rules applicable to them, and for the consequences of all of the foregoing.

17.7

Testimonials. Testimonials published by the Seller are authentic accounts given by identified individuals and reflect their personal experience. They are not representative of any average outcome and are published in accordance with the transparency requirements of Article L. 111-7-2 of the French Consumer Code where applicable.

18.1

Nature of the Content. The Content is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

18.2

Not professional advice. Nothing in the Content constitutes, nor is intended to constitute, legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, immigration, insurance, medical, or psychological advice. The Customer should obtain independent professional advice before acting on any matter falling within those fields.

18.3

No professional relationship. No lawyer-client, accountant-client, adviser-client, agent, employment, partnership, joint-venture, or fiduciary relationship arises between the Seller and the Customer by reason of the purchase or use of a Product.

18.4

No certification. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Products do not confer any diploma, degree, academic credit, professional qualification, accreditation, or State-recognised certification. Any certificate of completion issued attests solely to participation.

18.5

Not vocational training. The Products are not provided under the French vocational training regime (formation professionnelle continue) and are not eligible for financing under that regime, unless expressly stated otherwise on the sales page.

18.6

Health and safety. Where the Content refers to artistic materials, including solvents, mediums, pigments, varnishes, or resins, the Customer must independently consult the manufacturer's safety data sheet and comply with all applicable safety and disposal regulations. The Seller accepts no liability for the Customer's handling of such materials.

19.1

Obligation of means. The Seller is bound by an obligation of means (obligation de moyens) and not by an obligation of result (obligation de résultat) in the performance of these Terms.

19.2

Exclusion of indirect loss. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Seller shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of clients, loss of contracts, loss of reputation, loss of data, or loss of anticipated savings.

19.3

Excluded causes. The Seller shall not be liable for any loss arising from: (a) the failure of the Customer to achieve any artistic, commercial, financial, or audience result; (b) any decision taken by the Customer on the basis of the Content; (c) any act, omission, outage, suspension, policy change, or account termination by a third-party platform, payment provider, social network, hosting provider, or internet service provider; (d) any interruption, failure, latency, bug, corruption, or unavailability of the internet, of the Customer's equipment, or of the Platform; (e) any virus, malware, or intrusion not attributable to a fault of the Seller; (f) any misuse of the Content by the Customer or by any third party; (g) any inaccuracy in information supplied by the Customer.

19.4

Cap on liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of the Seller, in contract, tort, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with any Order, shall not exceed the amount actually paid by the Customer for the Product giving rise to the claim.

19.5

Mandatory exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the liability of the Seller for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for wilful misconduct (faute dolosive), for gross negligence (faute lourde), for fraud, or for any liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Where the Customer is a Consumer, no provision of this Article shall be construed as depriving them of any non-waivable statutory right, and any clause which would create a significant imbalance in the rights and obligations of the parties to the detriment of the Consumer shall be deemed unwritten in accordance with Article L. 212-1 of the French Consumer Code.

19.6

Time limit. Any claim brought by a Customer acting as a Professional in connection with an Order must be notified to the Seller within twelve (12) months of the date of the Order, failing which it shall be time-barred.

20.1

Best efforts. The Seller uses reasonable efforts to make the Platform available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.

20.2

No guarantee of continuous availability. The Seller does not warrant that the Platform will be available without interruption, error, or delay. The Platform is operated in part through third-party providers whose infrastructure is outside the Seller's control.

20.3

Maintenance. The Seller may suspend access to all or part of the Platform for maintenance, updates, security, or technical improvement. Where reasonably practicable, the Seller shall give prior notice of any planned suspension of significant duration.

20.4

No compensation. A temporary interruption of access does not give rise to any right to compensation, refund, price reduction, or extension of the access period, unless the interruption is prolonged, attributable to the Seller, and deprives the Customer of the essential benefit of the Product, in which case the Customer's rights under Article 15.6 apply.

20.5

Modification of the Platform. The Seller may change the technical infrastructure, learning management system, or hosting provider of the Platform at any time, provided that the essential characteristics of the Products remain substantially unaffected.

21.1

Lawful use. The Customer undertakes to use the Platform and the Content lawfully, in good faith, and in compliance with these Terms.

21.2

Security. The Customer undertakes not to attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Platform, to any server, or to any account other than their own; not to introduce malicious code; and not to take any action which imposes an unreasonable load on the infrastructure.

21.3

Community conduct. Where a Product includes a community, comment section, or group space, the Customer undertakes to behave respectfully and not to publish any content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, discriminatory, hateful, obscene, misleading, or infringing of third-party rights, nor any promotional or solicitation material without the Seller's prior consent.

21.4

Confidentiality of the community. Materials, discussions, and personal information shared by other Customers within a community space are confidential and may not be recorded, republished, or communicated outside that space.

21.5

Moderation. The Seller may moderate, edit, or delete any contribution, and may exclude any Customer from a community space, in the event of a breach of Article 21.3 or 21.4.

21.6

Compliance with local law. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that their purchase and use of the Products is lawful in their own jurisdiction. Where local law prohibits access to the Products, the Customer must refrain from ordering.

21.7

Indemnity. The Customer shall indemnify and hold the Seller harmless against any third-party claim, loss, damage, or reasonable cost arising from the Customer's breach of these Terms, from their unlawful use of the Content, or from any material they submit to the Platform. This Article shall not apply so as to impose on a Consumer any obligation contrary to mandatory consumer protection law.

22.1

Grounds for immediate suspension or termination. The Seller may suspend or terminate the Customer's Account, licence, and access to the Content, immediately and without prior notice, in the event of: (a) breach of Article 8 (Account sharing); (b) breach of Article 12 (Prohibited uses) or Article 13 (Anti-piracy); (c) a wrongful dispute or chargeback within the meaning of Article 14; (d) non-payment of any instalment or failure of any payment; (e) fraudulent, abusive, threatening, harassing, or unlawful conduct towards the Seller, its staff, or other Customers; (f) provision of false identification or payment information; (g) any conduct materially damaging to the Seller's rights, security, or reputation.

22.2

Proportionality and notice. Where the breach is remediable and does not present an immediate risk to the Seller's rights, the Seller shall, where reasonably practicable, first give the Customer notice of the breach and a reasonable opportunity to remedy it.

22.3

No refund. Suspension or termination pursuant to Article 22.1 gives rise to no refund of any sum paid, and does not discharge any sum remaining due.

22.4

Right of reply. A Customer whose Account has been terminated may make written representations to the Seller at the address in Article 27. The Seller undertakes to examine them in good faith and to reinstate access where the termination proves to have been unfounded.

22.5

Termination by the Customer. The Customer may close their Account at any time by written request. Closure of the Account does not give rise to any refund and constitutes a waiver of further access.

22.6

Survival. Articles 10, 11.7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21.7, 25, and 26 survive the termination of these Terms for any reason.

23.1

Definition. Neither party shall be held liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where such failure or delay results from an event of force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code, namely an event beyond the control of the debtor, which could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract, and the effects of which cannot be avoided by appropriate measures.

23.2

Illustrations. Without limitation, the following may constitute force majeure where the conditions of Article 23.1 are met: natural disaster, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic or pandemic and the resulting public-health measures, war, act of terrorism, riot, civil unrest, act of a public authority, embargo, sanctions, general strike, failure of the electricity network, prolonged failure of the telecommunications or internet networks, large-scale cyber-attack, or the total and prolonged failure of an essential third-party service provider.

23.3

Effects. The performance of the affected obligations shall be suspended for the duration of the event. The affected party shall inform the other party as soon as reasonably possible.

23.4

Prolonged event. If the event of force majeure persists for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, either party may terminate the contract by written notice, without liability, and the Seller shall reimburse the Customer for any Product paid for but to which access has never been provided.

23.5

Payment obligations. Force majeure does not excuse an obligation to pay sums already due for Content already delivered.

24.1

Controller. Vladislav Iashin EI, whose details appear in Article 1, acts as data controller (responsable de traitement) within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the "GDPR") in respect of the personal data collected through the Platform.

24.2

Purposes and legal bases. Personal data is processed principally for the performance of the contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), for compliance with the Seller's legal and accounting obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR), for the Seller's legitimate interests in preventing fraud and piracy and in defending its rights (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), and, where applicable, on the basis of the Customer's consent for marketing communications (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

24.3

Rights of the data subject. The Customer has the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection, and portability, as well as the right to give instructions concerning the fate of their data after death, and the right to lodge a complaint with the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), 3 Place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, France.

24.4

Anti-piracy processing. The Customer is expressly informed that access logs, IP addresses, device identifiers, session data, and consumption data are processed for the purposes of detecting Account sharing and unauthorised distribution, on the basis of the Seller's legitimate interest in protecting its intellectual property, and may be used as evidence in the circumstances described in Articles 12, 13, and 14.

24.5

International transfers. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, the Seller ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR.

24.6

Privacy Policy. Full details of the processing operations carried out, including retention periods, recipients, and cookie policy, are set out in the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy, which are available on the Platform and form an integral part of the contractual documentation. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy concerning the processing of personal data, the Privacy Policy prevails.

25.1

French law. These Terms and all contracts concluded under them are governed by and construed in accordance with French law, to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

25.2

Consumer protection reservation. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 (Rome I), the choice of French law shall not have the result of depriving a Consumer of the protection afforded to them by the provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement under the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence, where the Seller directs its activities to that country.

25.3

Language. The English version of these Terms is the version presented to the Customer and forms the contractual document. Where a French version is produced for administrative or judicial purposes and a discrepancy arises, the parties shall interpret the Terms in accordance with French law and with the common intention of the parties as evidenced by the English text.
