Membership Terms & Conditions

Our core ethos for the Passive Income Growth Academy is to help you create instant download digital products to sell online. This document details from the outset the way in which we will deliver our services to you. If you are planning to join the Passive Income Growth Academy, (“the Membership”) then you must read these terms and conditions in full prior to purchasing.

 

1. Membership Terms & Conditions (‘Terms’): Key Details

These Terms cannot be varied and in proceeding to purchase the Membership you will be deemed to have accepted these Terms. The Terms set out below apply to the services offered by Clàudia Orengo from heartmade.es. Please read them carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under law and set out the Terms under which Clàudia Orengo from heartmade.es (“we”, “our” or “us”) provide services to you, as purchaser of the Membership. These Terms are subject to any rights you have under consumer law to which we are bound and which cannot be waived by contract. 

Please be aware that we may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Membership indicates your acceptance of the terms and agreement to any changes. 

 

2. Membership Outline

Passive Income Growth Academy is a membership platform for artists who want to create and sell instant download digital products online. The Membership is an ongoing commitment where you can get regular support and guidance. 

The Membership membership helps artists with selling digital products, by teaching and supporting them with step by step strategy tips. 

 

3. Eligibility 

This membership is suitable for those who are:

  • Creatives who are familiar with tech software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and/or similar.
  • Artists who want to monetise their talents.
  • People who are either beginning on their journey or already started, but aren’t earning yet the income they wish.
  • Those who are committed to dedicate time to this, and understand it’s not a quick-win solution but a long-term project.
  • In any case, it’s important that you don’t join this Membership expecting it to become your financial solution. You must understand we can offer guidance and support, but never predict or assure sales or income. That’s the goal, but not a promised result from joining the Membership.
  • It’s a perfect strategy for those who have financial stability and are looking for long-term ways to earn extra passive income.
 

4. Membership Specifics

There are five elements to the Membership: 

  1. Weekly Creative Meet-Ups
  2. Monthly Planning and Inspiration Sessions
  3. Monthly Marketplace Feature
  4. A Private Community
  5. Complementary Online Trainings
 

Monthly Planning Sessions

These sessions will be led by Clàudia Orengo from heartmade.es. From time to time they may also be joined by guest speakers on complementary topics.

The monthly inspiration sessions will either be live on Zoom or pre-recorded.

Each monthly planning session will give you access to topics and prompts to work on that particular month, based on previous years experience and the festivity calendar to predict potential future sales. It will include visual inspiration and some guidelines that can be applied to your digital product of choice.

 

Weekly Creative Meet-Ups

Each week we’ll have a scheduled call on Zoom. The purpose of this call is for members to get a chance to meet each other in a closer way, get inspired and end up motivated.

Calls can include a variety of things like fun exercises to brainstorm together, Q&As and reflections about topics of interest, between others.

These recordings will be public to the whole community, so that others can also learn from it.

 

Marketplace

Every month Clàudia will have a deadline, and you’ll have the chance to submit up to 5 new products designed in the last 30 days. 

Clàudia will then publish those products in the Marketplace, in order of receive, and on an email to her email list of subscribers. 

Your product will be featured on the Marketplace for as long as you stay a member. When you decide to cancel your subscription, your products will be deleted forever. You won’t get your old features back if you decide to return to the membership after cancelling, but you’ll be able to submit new products (not the old ones again).

 

Private Community Group

You will have access to a private community group to support you during the Membership. The intention of the group is to provide community support and a network of individuals at a similar stage of your digital product creation journey and who are facing similar challenges. 

From time to time, Clàudia Orengo may post and offer support in the community but there is no guarantee that posts will be responded to immediately or that any mailboxes will be monitored. 

Please be advised that whilst we hope that you will be able to utilise the community group, we make no guarantees as to the availability of the group and/or the content within the group at any time. Therefore, always ensure that you have back-up copies of any information shared within the group that may be of your interest.

 

Self-Study

In addition, there will be instructional videos provided for self-study. These will be uploaded when needed to the community.

The content of all resources and training will be provided in English, translations are not available.

You can watch and use the provided content as much as you wish during your Membership time, but if you decide to cancel you’ll lose access to it.

 

5. Behaviour

It is requested that at all times your behaviour towards others is polite and respectful. Should your behaviour be deemed offensive or inappropriate we reserve the right to remove you from the Membership with immediate effect. 

Each person is responsible for their own behaviour and we will not be held responsible for the behaviour or actions of any other Members.

 

6. Membership Fees and Payment Terms

The cost of the Membership is set at the time you subscribe and is exclusive of taxes. On subscription you will agree to monthly payments via Stripe or Paypal.

The Membership is an ongoing monthly subscription and payment will be taken on the same day each month.

We reserve the right to change the content and delivery of the services within the membership and the associated price point at any time. Should we do this we will provide advance notice so that you can decide whether to consider your subscription. We shall never increase your membership fees without providing at least 28 days’ notice and without providing you with advance notification.

 

7. Refunds and Cancellation 

It is our aim that you will be completely happy with the Membership and progress towards your passive income goals. However, we appreciate that there may come a time when you wish to leave the Membership. 

As you have instant access to the Membership resources you will not be entitled to a refund of your subscription fees should you join and then wish to leave. Please consider the detail of the Membership carefully before purchasing and get in touch to ask any questions about suitability. You will not be entitled to a refund if you change your mind. Your statutory refund rights are not affected. 

Should you wish to cancel your Membership you can do it at any time with a couple clicks. A video with instructions is available for you in case you have doubts on how to proceed. Once you cancel, no further payments will come through. 

We reserve all rights to cancel the programme for any reason without prior notice. In such circumstances a refund will be provided for the remainder of that month or year as applicable. 

Notwithstanding any right or remedy available to us, we may cancel your Membership with immediate effect:

  • If you fail to pay your Membership fees by the relevant due date;
  • If you commit a repudiatory breach of the Terms of this agreement; 
  • As decided at our sole discretion from time to time
 

8. Contact and Schedule

It is the intention that the Membership will run continuously and that any training material and live sessions will be provided as set out above. Should an unforeseen reason arise which cause a session(s) to be postponed they will be re-arranged as soon as possible. 

Throughout the Membership we will be available by email at claudia@heartmade.es or through direct message inside the community.

You may see us post on social media outside of our core hours. Not all of these posts are live and some will be pre-scheduled. We are passionate about supporting everyone in the Membership and where we can we may respond to you out of hours but we make no guarantees that this will always be possible.

 

9. Disclaimers

We make no guarantees or claims as to the success of any member. Each individual is unique and their abilities are unique to them. The aim is that you find inspiration, motivation and accountability to work on your digital products and earn passive income from them, although that’s out of our control.

All training provided will be general information and guidance and will not be bespoke advice. We are not responsible for any action or inaction which you take as a result of the information within the Membership.
