General Terms and Conditions

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all services provided by Feather Light Academy B.V. on www.featherlightacademy.com. In the rest of this document named “Feather Light Academy”.

We refer to the Sites and the Products collectively in these Terms as the “Services.” By using any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by and comply with these Terms.

Services and General Provisions

Feather Light Academy grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferabel, revocable license to use the Services, including the Products (subject to payment, where applicable), for your personal use only, in accordance with these Terms. We reserve all rights that we do not expressly grant in these Terms. Feather Light Academy reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part there of) with or without notice. You agree that Feather Light Academy will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services. We have no obligation to retain any of Your Account or Submitted Content for any period of time beyond what may be required by applicable law.

Given that our Instructional Material is solely made available to you digitally (as a stream), strictly speaking, Instructional Material cannot be said to have been ‘purchased’. Where terms such as ‘buy’ or ‘purchase’ are used in the General Terms and Conditions, this only means that you will be granted a certain right of use to view the Instructional Material. You may not – and cannot – transfer the rights and obligations arising from the Agreement to third parties without the prior written consent of Feather Light Academy.

Due to force majeure, illness of instructor (Yvet Blokesch) or changing business activities of Feather Light Horsemanship or Feather Light Academy, adding new services or video material can be stopped temporarily or permanently. In case of a permanent stop, all members will be notified by e-mail. The memberships and corresponding payments will continue as long as you as a member will not cancel the subscription, existing material will still be accessible. 

If the court establishes that a provision in the General Terms and Conditions is void or voidable in full or in part, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the General Terms and Conditions. The void or voided provision will be replaced by a provision of a similar purport that is neither void nor voidable. 

Account

After you have purchased a membership, an account will be created for you automatically. Feather Light Academy will send you personal login details for the Account. 

After an Account has been deleted, assessments, reviews and other materials that have been added to the Service and Website through the Account will remain available. They will not be deleted. However, Feather Light Academy will delete personal identifiable data on request, or if required by law.

Feather Light Academy may delete Accounts that have not been logged into for more than 12 months. Before proceeding to do so, Feather Light Academy will send a notification to the email address connected to the Account.

An Account is strictly personal. Therefore, an Account may not be shared with other persons. If you suspect that someone has gained access to your Account, you must notify Feather Light Academy without delay.

Feather Light Academy has the right to block an Account, if Feather Light Academy has discovered any violation of these General Terms and Conditions.

If you no longer wish to use your Account, you may decide to close it. You can close your account in “My Account” or can send an email to that effect to Feather Light Academy (info@featherlightacademy.com). It is important to state which specific Account you wish to close by providing your full name and email address. 

The closing and deletion of an Account is an irreversible process. You personally bear the risk of the loss of any data as a result of closing your account.

After an Account has been closed, it is no longer possible to view any Instructional Material purchased.

Payment

You may purchase licenses to certain Products through a membership, as specified on the Sites. When you make a purchase, you authorize us to charge the credit or debit card or other payment service you used to make the first payment on a periodically basis, depending on which payment plan you selected (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly etc.). When you agree to these Terms, you give us authorization to automatically prolong your membership after the first period with periodical installments, depending on which membership you selected.

All the prices stated by Feather Light Academy on the Website are in euros and include VAT (when applicable) and other levies imposed by the government, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Digital Instructional/Video Material is offered on our Website. After becoming a member, you can view this Instructional/Video Material for a certain period as a ‘stream’ within your Account environment. The Video Material cannot be downloaded. 

Refunds and Cancellation

Due to the nature of the Products and Services of Feather Light Academy (non-tangible digital goods), it is not possible to “return” the Products and Services, therefore we do not offer refund or exchange after purchase is made. Only for tangible goods offert there will be a separate “Return policy”. If you are having any issues with the Products and Services, please contact us and we will do our best to resolve the problem. If you want to cancel your membership, you have to notify us by email 7 days before your next payment (because of the processing time) or you can cancel your membership immediately via “My Account” but before the next period started. Of course you keep access to the material for the already paid for period. We have the right to withdraw the due payment from your account when you neglect to keep these terms.
