TERMS OF SERVICE

Terms of Service

 

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and SchulmanArt LLC, doing business as The Inspiration Place (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your use of schulmanart.com, theinspirationplace.net, and the coaching, educational programs, digital products, events, books, and related services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).

Please read the section for the offer you purchased or are considering, followed by “Terms That Apply to Every Offer.” By clicking a purchase or registration button, creating an account, signing an order form or agreement, or accessing a Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not purchase, register for, or use the Service.

These Terms are written primarily for The Inspiration Place's art-business education and coaching Services. They also contain limited terms for legacy art classes and books. They do not govern purchases of Miriam Schulman's original artwork, prints, commissions, or merchandise through a separate art storefront unless that storefront or checkout expressly adopts these Terms.

Artist Incubator

Artist Incubator Program (Tier 1)

What is included

An Artist Incubator Tier 1 purchase includes:

  • Access to the recorded training library for as long as the applicable Program Area exists; and
  • One year of live coaching, coaching replays, accountability pods, and the private community.

The one-year period begins as stated in the applicable order confirmation or offer terms. Specialized workshops, the Publicity Pack, Template Vault, diagnostics, and other bonuses are included only when described in the offer in effect at purchase.

Refund policy

Tier 1 has a 14-day money-back guarantee beginning on the purchase date. To request it, email [email protected] from the email address used for purchase. The request must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the fourteenth day. Timeliness is based on when we receive the request, not when we read or answer it.

If live coaching or another live service has already been delivered, we may deduct its reasonable value from the refund. The deduction will not exceed the amount paid. An approved refund ends all Tier 1 access, benefits, bonuses, and content licenses immediately.

Direct installment plans

If Tier 1 was purchased using installments charged directly by SchulmanArt LLC:

  • A cancellation request received within 14 days of purchase cancels future installments and refunds the first payment, subject to the live-service deduction above.
  • A request received more than 14 days after purchase cancels future installments, but payments already made are non-refundable.

In either case, all Tier 1 access and benefits end immediately. Paying part of the schedule does not create partial or prorated access after cancellation. Financing through Klarna, Afterpay, PayPal, or another third party is controlled by your separate agreement with that provider.

Medical pause

An eligible Tier 1 member may request one medical pause of up to three months during the one-year live-benefit period. Email the request to [email protected] and include a valid doctor's or healthcare provider's note identifying the medical condition or diagnosis and requested pause length. During an approved pause, program access, live calls, interactive benefits, and direct monthly payments are suspended. They resume when the pause ends.

Bonuses

We may hold refund-eligible coaching-program bonuses until the 14-day refund period ends. A different written delivery date shown for the specific purchase controls.

Accelerator Consulting (Tier 2)

What is included

Accelerator Consulting, also called Artist Incubator Accelerator, includes the following for as long as the applicable Artist Incubator Program and Program Area exist:

  • The recorded training library;
  • Live coaching;
  • Coaching replays;
  • Accountability pods; and
  • The private community.

It also includes the Accelerator consulting engagement and any audits, roadmap, templates, checkpoints, or other deliverables identified on the controlling sales page, checkout, order form, or confirmation. The standard consulting engagement lasts 90 days unless the written terms for your purchase state otherwise.

You must supply requested information and cooperate reasonably so we can perform the consulting work. We do not guarantee admission to opportunities, acceptance of pitches, press coverage, representation, sales, or any other business result.

“Accelerator” in these Terms refers only to the current Tier 2 Artist Incubator offer.

Refund policy

Both direct Tier 2 enrollment and a Tier 1 member's Accelerator upgrade have a 14-day money-back guarantee beginning on the Tier 2 purchase or upgrade date. Email [email protected] by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the fourteenth day.

If live coaching or another live service has already been delivered, we may deduct its reasonable value from the refund, up to the amount paid. A refunded upgrade ends the benefits added by the upgrade but does not erase valid Tier 1 access purchased separately.

Direct installment plans

For installments charged directly by SchulmanArt LLC, a request received within 14 days cancels future installments and refunds the first payment, subject to any live-service deduction. After 14 days, prior payments are non-refundable but future direct installments will be canceled. The access and benefits associated with the canceled Tier 2 purchase or upgrade end immediately.

Third-party financing is governed by your agreement with the financing provider and may not be cancelable by SchulmanArt LLC.

Medical pause and bonuses

An eligible Tier 2 member may request one medical pause of up to three months. The emailed request must include a valid doctor's or healthcare provider's note identifying the medical condition or diagnosis and requested pause length. During an approved pause, applicable access, live and interactive benefits, and direct monthly payments are suspended and then resume when the pause ends.

Refund-eligible bonuses may be held until the 14-day refund period ends unless the specific offer states another delivery date.

Inner Circle (Tier 3)

Lower-tier benefits

Every Inner Circle purchase includes the following five lower-tier benefits for as long as the applicable Artist Incubator Program and Program Area exist:

  • The recorded training library;
  • Live coaching;
  • Coaching replays;
  • Accountability pods; and
  • The private community.

Time-limited Inner Circle exclusives

Inner Circle-exclusive benefits—including unlimited email support, elite group masterminds, and private coaching—last only for the package period stated in your signed agreement. They end when that package period ends.

Because Inner Circle packages vary, your signed agreement controls the package duration, number of calls, email support, mastermind access, bonuses, price, payment schedule, refund terms, cancellation terms, and other package-specific details. If it conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls.

Private calls

Unless the signed agreement says otherwise, an Inner Circle private call requires at least 12 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. A missed call or late cancellation may be treated as used and forfeited without refund. Late arrival does not extend the scheduled ending time. If the Company or assigned coach cancels, the call will be rescheduled without charge.

Calls must be used within three months after purchase unless the signed agreement or order terms state a different period.

Refunds, installments, and medical pauses

Your signed Inner Circle agreement controls refunds, cancellations, installments, termination, and package-specific medical-pause terms. Unless it provides a different medical-pause rule, you may request one medical pause of up to three months using the documentation and suspension process stated in the common Terms below, if eligible.

At least 12 hours' notice is required to cancel or reschedule. A missed call or late cancellation may be treated as used and forfeited without refund. Late arrival does not extend the ending time. If the Company or assigned coach cancels, the call will be rescheduled without charge.

Calls expire three months after purchase unless the offer, order form, or signed agreement states another period.

Reviews, Audits, and Diagnostics

This offer type includes:

  • Professional Portfolio Review;
  • Instagram Profile Diagnostic + Quick-Win Blueprint;
  • All-In Artpreneur Audit; and
  • Other website, social-media, portfolio, or business reviews, audits, and diagnostics identified in an offer, checkout, order form, or signed agreement.

Artpreneur Bootcamp

Artpreneur Bootcamp includes free live events and separately available paid offers. The sales page and order confirmation identify the terms and materials included with the specific registration or purchase.

Live Artpreneur Bootcamp (Free)

Registration for a free live Bootcamp does not create a paid purchase or refund right. The event dates, free replay period, and delivery details stated for that event apply. Optional marketing or SMS consent applies only when separately and clearly disclosed at registration.

Artpreneur Bootcamp VIP Upgrade

The Artpreneur Bootcamp VIP Upgrade may include VIP-only group coaching sessions, a chance to be selected for a portfolio-review hot seat, digital materials, and 90-day portal access, as stated in the offer. A hot seat or individual portfolio review is not guaranteed.

The Artpreneur Bootcamp VIP Upgrade is final sale. Missing a live session, not being selected for a hot seat, or failing to use the portal during the 90-day period does not create a refund or extension.

Artpreneur Bootcamp VIP Experience: On-Demand

The Artpreneur Bootcamp VIP Experience: On-Demand includes the recorded sessions and digital materials described in its offer. Access continues for as long as the applicable Program Area exists. It does not include live VIP sessions or a portfolio-review hot seat unless the offer expressly says so.

The Artpreneur Bootcamp VIP Experience: On-Demand is final sale.

Bootcamp materials

Workbooks, kits, prompt packs, scripts, transcripts, and other Bootcamp materials are licensed for your personal educational and art-business use. You may not share, resell, distribute, or use them to create a competing product.

Refund policy

These products are final sale because access to digital materials may begin immediately, with one named exception: the Inspired Art Pricing Toolkit / Pricing Drama Workshop has a 7-day money-back guarantee beginning on the purchase date.

For that exception, email [email protected] by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the seventh day. An approved refund ends access and the license to use the materials.

License and access

Your purchase provides a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the materials for education and, where intended, to customize templates for your own art business. You may not share, publish, sublicense, sell, distribute, or use the materials to create a competing product.

Access to the Pricing Toolkit continues for as long as its Program Area exists. Other products follow the access period disclosed in their offer. Unless an offer expressly promises future updates, the purchase includes only the version and bonuses offered at purchase.

Back to menu

Live In-Person Events

Unless the event-specific terms say otherwise, we must receive an event-ticket refund request at least 30 days before the event begins. Tickets are final sale after that deadline. Failure to attend does not create a refund or credit.

Back to menu

Paperback Books

Paperback books, including Artpreneur and the Artpreneur Workbook, may be sold or fulfilled by Amazon or another third-party retailer. That retailer controls ordering, shipping, delivery, replacements, and returns. We are not responsible for a third-party carrier's or retailer's delays or errors, but we will reasonably assist with questions about bonuses we promised.

Books purchased directly from the Company are final sale except where required by law. Bonuses are included only when stated in the applicable offer and may require timely proof of purchase or registration.

Back to menu

Terms That Apply to Every Offer

The following provisions apply to every Service unless an offer section, transaction-specific checkout, order form, or signed agreement states a different rule.

Which terms control

If documents applicable to the same purchase conflict, they control in this order:

  1. A client agreement signed by you and the Company;
  2. A transaction-specific order form or checkout term;
  3. Written offer-specific terms on the sales page in effect when purchased; and
  4. These master Terms.

A more specific document controls only the subject it addresses. A written promise providing a more generous refund, access period, or benefit will be honored for that purchase.

Save the order confirmation and terms presented at purchase. Updates to these Terms apply prospectively from their stated effective date and do not retroactively reduce a material access or refund right included in an existing purchase. We may give notice of material changes by email or a prominent website notice.

Eligibility, accounts, and electronic agreement

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering a contract. If a minor is permitted to use a Service, a parent or legal guardian must make the purchase, accept these Terms, and supervise its use.

Provide accurate information and keep your account credentials secure. Access is personal unless the offer expressly permits team access. You may not share, sell, or transfer an account or access rights. Notify [email protected] promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

By purchasing, registering, signing electronically, or accessing a Service, you consent to transact electronically. Electronic acceptances, signatures, notices, and records have the same effect as paper versions to the extent permitted by law.

Educational and coaching relationship; no guaranteed results

The Services provide education, information, coaching, feedback, community, and tools. They are not legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, medical, mental-health, or other licensed professional advice. Nothing creates an attorney-client, fiduciary, employment, partnership, joint-venture, or agency relationship.

You remain responsible for your business, creative work, decisions, compliance, expenses, implementation, and results. Coaching is not therapy or emergency care.

We do not promise sales, earnings, press coverage, audience growth, gallery representation, business growth, or any other result. Examples and testimonials do not guarantee the same outcome. Results depend on factors outside our control, including experience, market, offer, effort, implementation, timing, and circumstances. Our Earnings Disclaimer is incorporated into these Terms.

Prices, payment, installments, and financing

The price, inclusions, taxes, and payment schedule disclosed at checkout or in a signed agreement apply. By providing a payment method, you represent that you are authorized to use it and authorize the disclosed charges.

An installment plan is a method of paying for one purchase; it is not automatically a renewing subscription. A Service renews only if the checkout clearly discloses the renewal price, frequency, and cancellation method.

For any installments charged directly by SchulmanArt LLC, a cancellation request received within 14 days of the original purchase cancels future installments and refunds the first payment, subject to a reasonable deduction for live services already delivered. A request received after 14 days cancels future installments, but prior payments are non-refundable. In either case, all access and benefits associated with the canceled purchase end immediately.

This direct-installment rule does not override a signed Inner Circle agreement. Third-party financing through Klarna, Afterpay, PayPal, or another provider is governed by your separate agreement with that provider and may not be cancelable by SchulmanArt LLC.

Refund mechanics

Where an offer has a 7- or 14-day refund window, we must receive your request at [email protected] by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the final eligible day. Timeliness is based on when we receive the request, not when we read or answer it. The period begins on the purchase date unless the controlling offer expressly states otherwise.

For a refund-eligible offer that includes live coaching or another live service, we may deduct the reasonable value of live services already delivered, up to the amount paid.

An approved refund ends the access, benefits, bonuses, and content license associated with the refunded purchase. A refunded upgrade removes only the upgraded rights; valid access from a separate underlying purchase remains.

Refunds are issued through the original payment processor. Banks, card issuers, and financing providers control when funds appear, and we cannot guarantee their processing time.

“Final sale” means no refund or credit is offered for change of mind, failure to attend or use the Service, scheduling conflicts, or dissatisfaction, except where required by law or expressly agreed in writing.

Bonus delivery

For a refund-eligible coaching program, we may hold bonuses until the 14-day refund period ends. Ordinary program access may begin immediately. A different written delivery date stated for the specific offer controls.

Medical pauses for eligible coaching programs

Unless a signed agreement controls, an eligible coaching-program member may request one medical pause of up to three months during the applicable program term. Your emailed request must include a valid doctor's or healthcare provider's note identifying the medical condition or diagnosis and requested pause length.

During an approved pause, the applicable portal access, live calls, interactive benefits, and direct monthly payments are suspended. Benefits and direct payments resume when the pause ends. Medical documentation is handled according to our Privacy Policy and used only to administer the request, comply with law, and protect legal rights.

Program Area access

Where an offer promises lifetime, unlimited, or lifetime-of-the-site access, you will have access to the applicable Program Area for as long as it exists. If we intend to close the Program Area, we will provide at least 14 days' notice and the ability to download the resources contained there.

Intellectual property and permitted use

The Services and their videos, audio, transcripts, lessons, methods, frameworks, text, graphics, workbooks, templates, scripts, prompts, calculators, branding, and other materials are owned by or licensed to SchulmanArt LLC and protected by intellectual-property laws.

A purchase provides a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the materials for your own education and art business during the applicable access period. The license may be terminated as stated in these Terms. No ownership transfers to you.

Without our written permission, you may not reproduce, republish, publicly display, upload, distribute, sell, sublicense, or share the materials. You also may not reproduce or use our protected curriculum or materials to teach a course, create derivative commercial training, or build a competing product. You may download and retain only materials made available with a download function or expressly identified as downloadable.

SchulmanArt, The Inspiration Place, Artist Incubator, Signal Excavation™, and associated names, logos, program names, and branding may be trademarks or service marks. No trademark license is granted.

Community conduct and termination

You may not harass, threaten, discriminate against, defame, impersonate, or abuse another person; disrupt a call, community, event, or platform; spam or improperly solicit participants; attempt unauthorized access; upload malicious code; post unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or privacy-violating content; or copy or misuse our protected materials to build or sell a competing product.

We may remove content, restrict participation, suspend access, or terminate your access for serious or repeated misconduct, unsafe or unlawful behavior, nonpayment, security risks, or a material breach.

Termination for your violation does not create a refund right. Amounts due before termination remain payable. Your ability to cancel future direct installments remains governed by the installment rule above, and a signed agreement may contain controlling termination provisions.

Participant confidentiality

You may receive non-public information shared by other participants during coaching calls, masterminds, accountability pods, communities, events, or other interactive Services. You agree not to record, copy, publish, exploit, or disclose another participant's non-public personal or business information without permission.

This restriction does not apply to information that is already lawfully public, independently developed without confidential information, or lawfully received from another source without a duty of confidentiality. You are responsible for deciding what you share. Group communications are not protected by attorney-client, medical, therapist-patient, or another legal privilege, and we cannot guarantee that every participant will comply.

Materials you supply and honest reviews

You retain ownership of original material you supply to us, including artwork, portfolio images, copy, questions, plans, and business information. You represent that you have the right to provide it.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, copy, process, display, transmit, and use submitted material only as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, give requested feedback, maintain records, operate the platform, comply with law, and protect legal rights. This is not a public advertising or testimonial license.

Nothing in these Terms restricts an honest review, a report of suspected unlawful conduct, communication with a government agency, or another statement protected by law. You may not knowingly make false factual statements or unlawfully disclose another person's confidential information.

Privacy, third-party services, and technology

Our Privacy Policy governs personal information. The Services may use third-party platforms for websites, course hosting, communities, video calls, recordings, transcripts, scheduling, email, text messages, analytics, advertising, payments, financing, file storage, or artificial-intelligence-assisted tools. A provider's own terms and privacy policy may also apply.

Any use of AI-assisted transcription, summarization, or analysis is subject to the disclosures and consents provided with the applicable booking flow, agreement, or call notice. Do not submit another person's confidential information unless you are authorized to do so.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that every Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that every technique will be suitable for you, or that defects and third-party outages will be corrected immediately. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, COACHES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, DATA, OR GOODWILL; OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM BUSINESS DECISIONS OR RELIANCE ON EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION.

These limitations do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited or excluded.

Indemnification and events beyond our control

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, coaches, and agents from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful conduct, your infringement or misuse of another person's rights, material you submit, or your material breach of these Terms.

We are not responsible for failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disaster, fire, epidemic or public-health emergency, war, civil unrest, government action, labor disruption, utility failure, telecommunications or platform outage, cyberattack, illness or incapacity of essential personnel, or transportation disruption. We will use reasonable efforts to communicate material changes and resume, reschedule, or provide an appropriate alternative when reasonably possible.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by New York law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Unless a signed agreement validly requires a different process, a lawsuit arising from these Terms or the Services must be brought in an appropriate state or federal court located in New York City, New York, and each party consents to that court's personal jurisdiction and venue.

These master Terms do not require arbitration. A separately signed client agreement may contain an arbitration provision that controls disputes under that agreement.

These Terms, together with the controlling documents identified above, are the entire agreement concerning the applicable Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous discussions and representations about that subject.

If a court finds part of these Terms invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective, and the affected provision will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent.

A failure or delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver. A waiver must be in writing and applies only to the specific situation for which it is given.

Headings are for convenience, “including” means “including without limitation,” and the singular includes the plural where context requires.
