Terms of Service
These Terms explain how DriftNest Fragrance Academy provides digital learning content and services, what you can expect from us, and what we expect from you. Use the “Plain-English” toggle if you prefer a simpler summary alongside each section.
Effective date & acceptance
By using our site or enrolling in a course, you’re agreeing to these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the service.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of DriftNest Fragrance Academy (“DriftNest,” “we,” “us,” “our”), including our website, course content, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.
Enrollment, accounts & eligibility
You must provide accurate info, keep your login secure, and be old enough to legally agree to these Terms.
- Eligibility: You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create an account or enroll. If you are under the age of majority, you may use the Service only with a parent/guardian’s consent.
- Account security: You are responsible for all activity under your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials.
- Accurate information: You agree to provide accurate, current information and to keep it updated.
- Non-transferable access: Course access is licensed to you and may not be transferred, resold, shared, or sublicensed unless expressly stated.
Payments, refunds & access timing
Paid courses are usually non-refundable once accessed, unless a course page or local law says otherwise. If you buy, you’ll get access after payment clears.
- Pricing: Prices are shown at checkout and may change over time; the price you pay is the price shown at the time of purchase.
- Access: Digital content is typically delivered immediately (or within a reasonable time) after payment confirmation.
- Refunds: Unless stated on the course checkout page or required by applicable law, all sales are final once access is provided, including partial access.
- Chargebacks: Initiating a chargeback without contacting us first may result in loss of access pending dispute resolution.
- Taxes: You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or bank fees not collected at checkout.
Intellectual property & license
We own the course materials. You’re allowed to use them for your personal learning, but not to copy, share, or sell them.
All content on the Service, including lessons, videos, text, graphics, branding, and downloadable materials (“Content”), is owned by DriftNest or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.
- License to you: We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Content for your personal, non-commercial educational purposes.
- Restrictions: You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, scrape, or otherwise exploit the Content without our express written permission.
- Feedback: If you provide suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide right to use it without compensation.
Acceptable use & conduct
Be respectful. Don’t cheat, hack, or share course access. If you do, we may suspend your account.
- No unlawful, harmful, harassing, or discriminatory behavior.
- No attempts to bypass security, rate limits, paywalls, or access controls.
- No sharing of login credentials or course files beyond what the Service explicitly allows.
- No automated scraping of the Service.
- Respect instructors, learners, and community spaces (if any).
We may investigate and take action, including suspension or termination, if we believe you violate these Terms.
Changes to the Service or Terms
We can update these Terms. If changes are important, we’ll try to make them noticeable. Continued use means you accept the update.
We may update the Service and these Terms from time to time, including to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
By continuing to use the Service after updates become effective, you agree to the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.
Disclaimers & limitation of liability
We provide educational content “as-is.” We aren’t responsible for indirect losses, and our liability is limited where allowed by law.
The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, DriftNest will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Privacy, cookies & local storage

We use cookies and similar technologies (including localStorage) for essential functionality and to improve user experience. This page uses localStorage to remember:

Termination
You can stop using the Service anytime. We can suspend/terminate access if you break these Terms or misuse the Service.
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately if we reasonably believe:
- you violated these Terms,
- your use poses a security risk, or
- we must do so to comply with law.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends, but sections that should survive (such as Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, and Limitation of Liability) will remain in effect.
