THE FADE COLLECTIVE FOUNDATION

Terms of Service

Last Updated: March 2026


OVERVIEW

Welcome to The Fade Collective Foundation. The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to The Fade Collective Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Fade Collective Foundation operates this website, including all related information, content, features, tools, educational programs, workshops, and mentorship, in order to provide you with access to our workforce development services (the “Services”). Our digital infrastructure is powered by Shopify, which enables us to deliver the Services to you.

The below terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully. They include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.


SECTION 1 — ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase, or manage.

To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our website or enrolling in any programs or services we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide is correct, current, and complete, and that you have all rights necessary to provide this information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.


SECTION 2 — OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

We have made every effort to provide an accurate representation of our programs and services. However, program details, schedules, and availability are subject to change. We do not warrant that outcomes or quality of any services purchased or enrolled in will meet your expectations.

All descriptions of programs and services are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any program at any time and may limit enrollment in any program to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.

Our services are for educational and workforce development purposes only. Participation in our programs does not guarantee state licensure, certification, or future employment. Participants are responsible for verifying specific licensing requirements in their own jurisdiction.


SECTION 3 — ENROLLMENT AND ORDERS

When you submit an enrollment or purchase, you are making an offer to participate in or purchase a program or service. The Fade Collective Foundation reserves the right to accept or decline any enrollment or order for any reason at its discretion. Your enrollment is not accepted until the Foundation confirms acceptance. Please review your enrollment or order carefully before submitting, as the Foundation may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after acceptance. In the event that we do not accept, modify, or cancel an enrollment or order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time of submission. Your purchases are subject to return or exchange solely in accordance with our Refund Policy.

You represent and warrant that your purchases and enrollments are for your own personal, educational, or household use and not for commercial resale or export.


SECTION 4 — PRICES, BILLING, AND TAX INFORMATION

Prices, fees, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price or fee charged for a program, product, or service will be the price in effect at the time the enrollment or order is placed and will be set out in your confirmation email. Unless otherwise expressly stated, posted prices do not include applicable taxes, shipping, or handling charges.

The Fade Collective Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Financial contributions made as donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Tax receipts for qualifying donations will be issued to the email address provided at the time of the contribution.

Please note that fees paid for enrollment in educational programs, workshops, or other purchased services are not classified as charitable donations and are therefore not tax-deductible. If you have questions about the tax treatment of a specific payment, please contact us at info@thefadecollective.org.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and payment information for all transactions. You represent and warrant that: (i) the payment information you provide is true, correct, and complete; (ii) you are duly authorized to use such payment method; (iii) charges incurred will be honored by your financial institution; and (iv) you will pay all charges at the posted prices, including applicable fees and taxes.


SECTION 5 — SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

We are not liable for shipping and delivery delays. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs processing, or events outside our control. Once we transfer physical products to a carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you.


SECTION 6 — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our Services, including but not limited to all trademarks, brands, text, displays, images, graphics, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof, are owned by The Fade Collective Foundation, its affiliates, or licensors, and are protected by U.S. and foreign patent, copyright, and other intellectual property laws.

These Terms permit you to use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use only. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the material on the Services without our prior written consent. Unauthorized use of the Services may be a violation of federal and state intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by The Fade Collective Foundation.

All curriculum, training materials, lesson content, and educational videos produced by The Fade Collective Foundation are proprietary and protected by copyright. These materials are licensed for personal, non-commercial use only and may not be redistributed, resold, or shared outside of the enrolled participant’s personal use without express written consent from the Foundation.

The Fade Collective Foundation’s names, logos, program names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of The Fade Collective Foundation or its affiliates or licensors. You must not use such trademarks without the prior written permission of The Fade Collective Foundation.


SECTION 7 — OPTIONAL TOOLS

You may be provided with access to tools offered by third parties as part of the Services, which we neither monitor nor have any control over or input into.

You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available” without any warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of optional third-party tools.

Any use by you of optional tools offered through the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider(s). We may, in the future, offer new features through the Services, including new tools and resources. Such new features shall also be subject to these Terms of Service.


SECTION 8 — THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Services may contain materials and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third parties. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any third-party materials or websites you choose to access. If you decide to leave the Services to access third-party sites, you do so at your own risk.

We are not liable for any harm or damages related to your access of any third-party websites, or your purchase or use of any products, services, resources, or content on any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third-party’s policies and practices before engaging in any transaction. Complaints, claims, or questions regarding third-party products and services should be directed to the third-party.


SECTION 9 — RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

However, any sales and purchases you make are made directly with The Fade Collective Foundation. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of any transactions between you and The Fade Collective Foundation, including any injury, damage, or loss resulting from purchased programs or services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your transactions with The Fade Collective Foundation.


SECTION 10 — PRIVACY POLICY

All personal information we collect through the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy. Certain personal information may also be subject to Shopify’s Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies.

Because the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve them. Information you submit may be transmitted to and shared with Shopify as well as third parties that may be located in other countries. Review our Privacy Policy for more details on how we, Shopify, and our partners use your personal information.


SECTION 11 — FEEDBACK

If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit any ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or other content (collectively, “Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display such Feedback in any medium for any purpose, including for operational, educational, and promotional use.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to all Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with your submission; and (iii) your Feedback will comply with these Terms. We are under no obligation to maintain your Feedback in confidence, pay compensation for your Feedback, or respond to your Feedback.

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit, or remove Feedback that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Service.

You agree that your Feedback will not violate any right of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you submit and its accuracy.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE, REPRESENT, OR WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, provided that a failure to promptly notify will not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced. We may control the defense and settlement of such claim at your expense but will not settle any claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent.


SECTION 19 — SEVERABILITY

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms of Service. Such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.
