CODE FOR CREATIVES - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Last updated March 2024.
These are the terms and conditions of Code For Creatives Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 14915737 whose registered office is at 63/66 Hatton Garden, Fifth Floor Suite 23, London, EC1N 8LE (“we” or “us”).
This page tells you the terms on which you may use our website, available at codeforcreatives.co.uk(“website”) or purchase our coaching services and access to our course (“services''). By using the website or purchasing our services, you accept these terms. If you don't accept them, please don't use the website or purchase our services. We may update these terms from time to time, so please check back regularly as any updates will apply to your use of the website.
Any content on our website or provided as part of the services is for informational and/or guidance purposes only. It is not intended to be relied upon or to constitute specific financial advice for your circumstances.
COURSE
Our mission is to make learning coding easy and simple but also fun, with an appreciation for the difficulties and challenges faced in achieving financial freedom.
Our course lasts for 4 months (unless you qualify for a bonus month, in which case it would be 5 months), after which time these terms, and your access to the course, will automatically come to an end unless we agree to an extension with you (in exceptional circumstances). As part of the course, you will receive:
- Access to Notion, where our course will be hosted
- Access to live training sessions on Google Meet (weekly + monthly)
- Access to replays of the live sessions
- Access to pre-recorded training sessions
- Access to a private Slack community
- Access to a 1-1 accountability coach
- Workbooks and electronic course materials.
Your access to Notion & Slack is personal to you and so you shouldn’t share access with anyone else. If we think you have failed to keep confidentiality, we may disable any security information (including your passwords and codes). Please note we have no control over Notion so we can’t guarantee that it will be available 100% of the time.
Payments
When you sign up for our course, you will be asked to enter your personal and payment details, taken by Stripe. We recommend that you read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of Stripe before making payment.
The price of the course at the time will be clearly stated on the landing page where your payment is taken. The price will depend on whether you have opted for paying in full or a payment plan, and whether you have qualified for any discounts or bonuses depending on the time of year that you sign up.
We may offer limited-time offers from time to time. We can withdraw these at any time and we cannot guarantee the offer will be available when you’re looking to make a purchase.
All instalments will be taken from the original payment card 30 days after the initial payment is made and will continue to be taken on the same date each month until the full balance has been paid.
Payment plans are not provision of services on a monthly basis. This means that when you agree to these terms, you commit to paying the full price of the course, and the payment plan is provided simply to allow this to be more affordable.
In the event of late payment, we reserve the right to suspend our services and charge interest at a rate of 5% above the Bank of England base rate from time to time, whether before or after judgment, until payment is made and to refer any arrears to a debt collection agency or take legal action and pass on our costs to you. We’re not liable to you for the effects of any suspension of our services.
As you will receive access to our intellectual property, namely the digital products available on Notion, as soon as you purchase our course, all sales are final and you’re not entitled to a refund.
Recording sessions
It’s important we make you aware at the outset that all live Google Meet sessions will be recorded and made available to all participants of the course (whether they were able to attend live or not). If you’re not keen on sharing your camera or your real name, that’s absolutely fine. We will comply with our data protection obligations and only retain recordings as long as is reasonable. Please see our privacy policy for more information here.
Behaviour
It’s so important that the group sessions, slack community, and Facebook group are safe places and we ask that your behaviour towards others is always polite, kind, supportive and respectful.
The purpose of the sessions and Facebook group is to focus on your coding development, so please don’t use these places to promote your services or solicit clients. You should always follow Facebook’s community guidelines when communicating with each other. We ask that all attendees of the sessions respect the rights of others in respect of their behaviour, privacy and confidentiality. When attending the live sessions, you must not record them in any way, and this includes taking a photo of your screen.
If your behaviour is deemed offensive, inappropriate or against the guidelines we set, we reserve the right to remove you from the session and Facebook group with immediate effect and you won’t be entitled to a refund.
We will also monitor communications in Slack and the Facebook group and if there is any unnecessary negativity or negative behaviour, we reserve the right to remove these posts. We’re not responsible for the behaviour and actions of, or views or opinions shared by, other attendees. We also won’t be responsible for the actions of any attendees including for any disclosures made by any attendees based on information which has been shared within the group session.
Privacy and confidentiality
Your privacy and protection of your personal data is important to us, please refer to our privacy policy for more information on this here.
During the course, you may have access to confidential information, in particular the personal affairs of other participants. In accepting these terms, you agree that you will not use or disclose to any person, organisation or company, and will use your best endeavours to prevent the publication of any confidential information relating to any other participant. You accept that any unauthorised disclosure of personal or confidential information belonging to another may amount to immediate dismissal from the course. Should you decide to leave the course, you remain bound by the confidentiality and privacy obligations.

Disclaimers
We are a coding educator and coach, providing educational products and tools only. At no point will we be able to give you specific career advice as we’re not a career advisor, and we don’t hold ourselves out as such. If you require assistance with your career or any other topic discussed during our services, you should speak to an appropriate professional. We may provide you with recommendations of advisors you may choose to work with, but we’re not making any warranties or guarantees on behalf of that advisor.
We make no guarantees or claims as to the success of any course participant. Each individual is unique, as is the commitment they make to themselves to apply the lessons to their life and their finances. The aim is that by working through the training and resources and taking advantage of all of the elements which the course has to offer, you will have new information, awareness and tools to create change in your life. We’re not responsible for any outcomes you do or do not achieve through your participation in the course, or any action or inaction which you take as a result of the information provided during the course
We don’t make any guarantees of future earnings, profits or results. You’re entirely responsible for your own results. All information provided will be general information and guidance and will not be bespoke advice.

For those who initiate a side hustle/start a business as a result of the Female Coders’ Academy programme: As a business owner, you are responsible for setting up your Ltd. company or registering as a sole trader (and obtaining the right advice with regards to this from a qualified and independent professional).

It is also your (the client’s) responsibility to ensure that any income from the business is received into an appropriate (business) account and that you have an accountant on hand to help with managing business finances and paying your taxes.
