TBU Academy Terms and Conditions
Payments
I agree to leave TBU Academy and cease using any content or resources if I don’t pay my fee to join TBU Academy in full or at the payment plan agreed on joining.
I agree that the first £200 paid to TBU Academy is to be treated as a non refundable deposit.
I agree that once I have signed up to a payment plan I will continue to make the monthly payments I signed up for. Should I stop making payments without prior consent from TBU team, I understand that they may proceed with legal action.
Training
I agree not to share login details for TBU Academy training with anyone else.
I agree to inform TBU Academy as soon as possible if I wish to change to another training intake, this is not possible to do anytime after ONE MONTH prior to enrolment day. After this date, you have agreed to participate in this training intake and continue with your agreed payment plan (full training).
Resources
TBU Academy client resources are the intellectual property of The Birth Uprising, they are not a resources pack to be purchased and used freely. They are to be used in line with these terms and conditions only and only for use whilst part of the TBU Academy gang.
I agree not to share TBU Academy or The Birth Uprising content such as handbooks, resources, MP3s, TBU Digital Pack login details etc. with anyone outside of TBU Academy other than clients and those I am supporting to prepare for birth, this includes the sale of The Birth Uprising resources which is prohibited.
I agree not to use any The Birth Uprising resources to accompany any online course I create. This includes scripts, recordings, client extras and The Birth Uprising handbook or handouts (there are copyright free scripts available in the instructor area for this purpose).
I agree to keep the The Birth Uprising logo on any handbooks or content created by The Birth Uprising if I modify the handbook cover in any way. I may add my branding by changing the front cover but will not give the impression that I have created this on my own. The Birth Uprising logo MUST be present on the front cover of the handbook and this must not be substituted for placing the logo on another page.
Removing any logo from The Birth Uprising resources will result in immediate removal from the TBU Academy community, this includes all pages of the handbook remaining as created by The Birth Uprising. Pages may be removed from the book altogether and my own pages added alongside.
I agree that should I wish to change the wording etc of any The Birth Uprising resources, I shall instead create my own version from scratch without infringing copyright. Use of the workbook is not mandatory so I am free to create my own materials to use instead.
In summary, in order to make The Birth Uprising handbook cohesive with my own branding, I may drag a new front cover onto the existing The Birth Uprising handbook, including The Birth Uprising logo. No other changes can be made to the content or design of the handbook.
‘The Gang’
I agree that once I join the TBU Academy Gang I am unable to stay with another brand of Hypnobirthing training and must inform my old brand of my departure. This ensures that I am free of any terms and conditions that I agreed to when joining said brand.
I agree to live by the TBU Academy ethos of being for ALL births and ALL people, I will give information to birthers that is evidence based to the best of my knowledge and without judgement.
I agree to help birthers prepare for whatever sort of birth makes them feel positive. I will not give medical advice or advise birthers to take a course of action based on my views.
I agree to get or keep informed on inequalities within the birth world and others relating to race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability and more.
I agree not to share anything that is harmful to marginalised groups and accept my mistake graciously should I make a mistake in this area and strive to learn more and do better.
I agree that should I decide to take a break from teaching for whatever reason, I will contact TBU Academy to inform them. This is to ensure that The Birth Uprising Birth worker directory can be up to date at all times to prevent wasting the time of those looking for an instructor.
I agree that I am to be removed from the TBU Academy community and to cease using the The Birth Uprising resources if I am found to be in breech of these Terms and Conditions.
I agree that should I choose to complete training provided by another party that this is not the responsibility of TBU Academy, even if that party is a member of TBU Academy. You are free to arrange training with fellow members of the gang but TBU Academy can not be held responsible for its content or facilitation.
