Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions

Please read this section fully and carefully.

By purchasing and participating in this class, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

  • Your online purchase is for you, and you alone. Additional viewers need to pay for the content.

  • You may not share log-in information, videos, images snapped from the videos or other content with anyone. You may not hold viewing parties unless all participants are paying as well.

  • You may not teach this course privately or in a group as your own in whole or in part.

  • You may not share the source of the tools or supplies that I share with you, especially when noted. If you have a question about sharing a certain tool, please ask. This information is as much of a proprietary intellectual property of the technique, as the process itself.

When your purchase is completed, you will receive access to the Online Learning Platform and to the Facebook Private Group.

Because learning starts the minute you are in the group and accessing information, no refunds are possible, under any circumstances, once the payment is received.

I am an ambassador for several companies. 8 companies offer my students discounts. I don’t get free tools and only 5 companies give me an affiliate commission or credit when someone buys a tool. This amount is very small 1-2% and I pay taxes on that amount. The companies are Amazon, Otto Frei, Halstead, Micro-Tools and Gesswein. The other companies offer discounts to you directly and my recommendations are because I want you to have the absolute best (Pepe Tools, Rio Grande, Lion Punch Forge).

You can also obtain a student wholesale account at Stuller simply by showing them a receipt for one of my classes. I have made these arrangements with them. You just call them and let them know you’d like to set up a student account.

Lastly, I very much appreciate it if you can please use those code to both save you money, but to also help me continue to share my knowledge about tools and supplies. The small amounts I receive helps me pay for tools I can experiment with and pay for the duds.

As with all of my Facebook Groups (the Jewelry Makers Guild, Rock Your IG Account, JMG Jewelry Tools for Sale, and Tucson Gem Show Happenings), this is a safe place. What is shared in the group or class, stays there. It is a sacred place. We don’t talk or allude to politics, race, religion, social justice agendas, politics or anything outside the space of learning about making amazing art! I don’t condone nor tolerate anybody degrading or shaming anyone’s art, process or ideas. There is no such thing as a bad idea, where creation is the focus. I reserve the right to remove anyone from class who at my sole discretion violates this policy, and no refunds will be given.

Please remember that making art can be dangerous, but heck, so can getting in the car to go get groceries. I will cover some safety topics that are pertinent to the process or technique. If you have a safety concern, please do not hesitate to chime in to the conversation or add to it. It is likely that you will at some point, have an instance where you burn yourself or cut yourself or maybe even hammer your finger. These come with the territory of creating with sharp tools, hammers and fire. You ultimately are responsible for your own safety. That means taking all precautions to understand your tools and your space. Also it’s a given that you should check these before every session in your studio.

The execution of the legal release in the next section is required for your participation in this class. Please sign it, scan it and send it via email to tonya@tonyadavidson.com before the first class session.
