Lumina Visual Arts Academy
Terms of Use & Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 11, 2026
This document contains both the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for Lumina Visual Arts Academy. Please read both parts carefully.
Part I — Terms of Use
By accessing or using the Lumina Visual Arts Academy website, courses, memberships, or related services (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy included in this document. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.
These Terms apply to visitors and customers who use Lumina’s Services. The educational materials made available through the Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws.
1. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, the courses, videos, lessons, demonstrations, graphics, text, logos, and other educational materials provided by Lumina Visual Arts Academy (“Lumina”) are owned by Lumina or licensed to Lumina and are protected by intellectual property laws.
Your access to Lumina’s educational materials is for your personal, non-commercial learning. Except where a course or resource expressly permits otherwise, you may not copy, reproduce, redistribute, resell, publicly display, publish, modify, or commercially exploit Lumina’s materials without prior written permission from the relevant rights holder.
Nothing in this section transfers ownership of your own artwork or other original content to Lumina. Your artwork remains yours, subject to any rights you separately grant when using a service or third-party platform.
2. Permitted Use of Course Materials
You may access and use course materials for your own personal educational purposes while you are entitled to access the relevant course, product, or membership. You may download resources that Lumina makes available for download, subject to the terms presented with those resources.
You may not:
Resell, share, redistribute, or publicly post Lumina’s course materials without authorization.
Use course materials to create or sell a competing product or training program without written permission.
Remove copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.
Attempt to reverse engineer software provided through the Services, where prohibited by law.
Circumvent access controls or share account credentials to provide unauthorized access to paid content.
Access to materials may end when the applicable course access period or membership ends, as described at the time of purchase. These restrictions do not limit any rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.
3. Your Artwork and Other Submissions
You retain ownership of artwork and other original content you create. If you submit artwork directly to Lumina for educational feedback or another requested service, you authorize Lumina to host, store, display, and process that submission only as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service, maintain its security, and meet legal obligations.
Lumina Visual Arts Academy will not use your artwork to train, fine-tune, or improve generative AI models.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights to submit any material you provide. Please do not submit content that infringes another person’s rights or contains information you are not authorized to share.
If you choose to post artwork or other content on an external community platform, such as Discord, that platform’s own terms and privacy practices also apply. Other members may be able to view, copy, or share content you post there. Review the platform’s settings and terms before sharing.
4. User Conduct
You agree to use the Services lawfully and respectfully. You may not:
Interfere with, damage, disable, or impair the Services or another person’s use of them.
Harass, threaten, abuse, or unlawfully discriminate against other users or Lumina staff.
Upload or transmit malware or other harmful code.
Use the Services to infringe intellectual property, violate privacy, or engage in unlawful activity.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or paid content.
Lumina may remove content, restrict access, or suspend or terminate an account where reasonably necessary to address a violation of these Terms, protect users or the Services, or comply with law.
5. Accounts and Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activities conducted through your account. Notify Lumina promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.
You must provide accurate account information and keep it reasonably up to date. Lumina may suspend access when necessary to protect account security or address suspected misuse.
6. Privacy and Data Protection
The Privacy Policy in Part II of this document explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
Lumina does not sell your personal information. Lumina will not use artwork submitted directly to Lumina to train, fine-tune, or improve generative AI models. Third-party services you use in connection with Lumina may handle information under their own applicable terms and privacy policies.
7. Payments, Subscriptions, Cancellations, and Refunds
Prices are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Payment is due at the time of purchase, or according to the payment schedule disclosed at checkout. Applicable taxes may be added where required.
Subscriptions
A subscription renews automatically at the interval disclosed at checkout until canceled. You may cancel a subscription using the available account controls or by contacting the relevant service provider. Unless the offer states otherwise, cancellation prevents future renewals and access continues through the end of the paid billing period. Cancellation does not ordinarily result in a refund for a partially used billing period, except where required by law or stated in the applicable offer.
Installment payment plans
An installment plan for a course or product is different from a recurring subscription. If you select an installment plan, you agree to pay the installments disclosed at checkout. Canceling a separate membership or subscription does not cancel an installment-payment obligation for a purchase, unless the applicable offer or law says otherwise.
Refunds
Unless a product page or separate written policy states otherwise, purchases are non-refundable except where a refund, cancellation, or withdrawal right is required by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Product-specific access, cancellation, and refund terms shown at checkout form part of the offer for that product. Please review them before purchasing.
8. Third-Party Services and Links
Lumina may use or link to third-party services, including platforms for course delivery, payment processing, email communications, and community participation. These services are operated by their respective providers and may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies. Lumina is not responsible for the independent terms or practices of third-party services, except as required by applicable law.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lumina will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, business, or data arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Services.
The Services and educational materials are provided for learning purposes. We do not guarantee any particular artistic, educational, professional, or financial result.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or affects rights that applicable law makes non-waivable.
10. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by applicable law, subject to any mandatory consumer protection laws that apply to you. Any dispute will be handled by a court or other body with jurisdiction under applicable law. Nothing in this section limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived.
11. Force Majeure
Lumina is not responsible for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, such as natural disasters, widespread service interruptions, government action, or other unforeseen events. This section does not limit rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.
12. Age Requirements
The Services are not intended for children under 13, and children under 13 may not use or access them. If applicable law requires a higher minimum age or additional consent, those requirements apply.
13. Accessibility
Lumina is committed to improving the accessibility and usability of its Services for a broad range of users and to meeting accessibility requirements that apply to it.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms when our Services, practices, or legal obligations change. We will post the updated Terms with a revised effective date and provide additional notice of material changes where appropriate. Continued use of the Services after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.

Part II — Privacy Policy
Your Art Is Yours. Your Privacy Matters.
At Lumina Visual Arts Academy (“Lumina,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), our mission is to help artists learn, create, and grow.
We respect your creative ownership and take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how you can manage your information when using Lumina’s website, courses, memberships, newsletter, and community.
Our Commitment
Lumina exists to help artists develop their skills, strengthen their creative judgment, and grow through education.
We respect your creative ownership, value your trust, and are committed to handling your information responsibly.
Your art is yours. Your growth matters. Your creative journey is at the heart of everything we do.
1. Your Art Belongs to You
You retain ownership of your artwork. Sharing artwork directly with Lumina for educational purposes does not transfer ownership or copyright to us.
When you submit artwork directly to Lumina for educational feedback or another requested service, we use it for the purpose for which it was provided.
Lumina will not use artwork submitted directly to Lumina to train, fine-tune, or improve generative AI models.
We do not sell your artwork or personal information.
If you choose to share artwork in an external community, such as Discord, other members may be able to view it. Your artwork remains yours, but the external platform’s terms and privacy practices also apply to content you post there.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information needed to provide our educational services, manage accounts, and support your learning. Depending on how you interact with Lumina, this may include:
Account information: Your name, email address, and account details.
Course and subscription information: Your enrollments, purchases, subscription status, and course participation.
Communications: Information you provide when subscribing to our newsletter or contacting us.
Community content: Your username, messages, comments, and artwork you choose to share in a community.
Technical information: Information collected through our website and service providers to support functionality, security, and performance, which may include device or browser information, access logs, or cookie data.
We use this information to deliver our services, manage accounts and purchases, communicate with students, support learning, and maintain our platform.
3. How We Use and Protect Your Information
We use information to administer courses and memberships, process purchases, deliver educational content, communicate relevant updates, provide customer support, protect accounts, and maintain our services.
We do not sell your personal information.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
Access to information is limited to what is reasonably necessary to operate and support our services. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to handling information responsibly.
4. Third-Party Services
Lumina uses third-party services to operate its educational platform. These may include:
Kajabi: Website, course, and membership services.
Stripe or another payment provider: Payment processing, where applicable.
Discord: Community discussions and member interactions.
Email and website service providers: Newsletter delivery, communications, and technical operations, as applicable.
These providers may process information necessary to provide their services and may also handle information under their own applicable terms and privacy policies. When you use an external service directly, its own policies apply to its processing of your information.
For more information, please review the relevant provider’s official policies:
5. Your Information and Your Choices
You may contact Lumina to request access to your personal information, correct inaccurate information, or request deletion of information or an account, subject to applicable law and the limits of the systems involved.
Some information may need to be retained to meet legal obligations, maintain financial records, address security concerns, or resolve disputes. Information held in routine backups may take additional time to be removed.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in the message.
When sharing artwork or personal information in community spaces, please consider who may be able to view your content.
6. Cookies and Website Data
Our website and service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, and understand service performance. The technologies used depend on the tools configured on our website.
Where required by law, we will provide appropriate notice and obtain consent for technologies that require consent. You may also be able to manage cookies through your browser settings, although disabling some cookies may affect website functionality.
7. International Data Processing
Lumina may use service providers that store or process information in countries other than your country of residence. Where international transfers occur, we will take steps required by applicable law to protect personal information.
8. Children's Privacy
The Services are not intended for children under 13, and children under 13 may not use or access them. If applicable law requires a higher minimum age or additional consent, those requirements apply. If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our services, practices, or legal obligations change. We will post the updated policy with a revised effective date and communicate material changes as appropriate.
