1. TERMS OF USE AND PURCHASE
These Terms of Use and Purchase (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Blue Blossom LLC, doing business as Blue Blossom Academy (“Blue Blossom Academy,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
These Terms govern your purchase of, enrollment in, access to, and use of Blue Blossom Academy courses, programs, digital products, sourcing resources, guides, downloads, student portals, websites, and related educational materials and services (collectively, the “Services”).
By purchasing, enrolling in, accessing, or using any of our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not purchase, access, or use the Services.
2. EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE AND NATURE OF OUR SERVICES
Blue Blossom Academy provides educational information, instruction, resources, strategies, techniques, examples, and tools relating to artificial floral design, floral rentals, sourcing, entrepreneurship, marketing, business operations, and related subjects.
Our courses and materials are educational in nature. Purchasing a course or other Service does not create a partnership, joint venture, franchise, agency, employment relationship, fiduciary relationship, or other business relationship between you and Blue Blossom Academy.
You remain solely responsible for your own business decisions, actions, implementation, pricing, marketing, expenses, contracts, clients, suppliers, compliance obligations, and results.
3. NO GUARANTEE OF BUSINESS OR FINANCIAL RESULTS
Blue Blossom Academy does not promise, represent, warrant, or guarantee that purchasing, completing, or implementing any course, program, strategy, method, resource, or recommendation will produce any particular business or financial result.
We do not guarantee that you will start or successfully operate a business, obtain clients or bookings, generate revenue or profit, recover the cost of your purchase, achieve any particular level of income, replace existing income, or achieve any other specific business, financial, career, or lifestyle outcome.
Business results vary substantially from person to person and depend on numerous circumstances outside Blue Blossom Academy's control, including individual effort, implementation, experience, skill, location, market conditions, competition, demand, pricing, expenses, marketing, economic conditions, and business decisions.
Examples, illustrations, business experiences, financial figures, booking information, or other results discussed in our educational or marketing materials are provided for informational or illustrative purposes and are not promises, projections, representations, or guarantees of what you will achieve.
You understand that starting and operating a business involves risk and that you are solely responsible for evaluating those risks and making your own business and financial decisions.
I would make this its own section, rather than burying it inside a generic disclaimer.
4. TESTIMONIALS AND STUDENT EXPERIENCES
Testimonials, reviews, case studies, student stories, photographs, examples, and other statements concerning student experiences reflect the experiences and opinions of the individuals who provided them.
Individual experiences and results vary. The experiences of one student should not be interpreted as a promise, representation, or guarantee that you or any other student will achieve the same or similar results.
Any testimonial describing bookings, clients, revenue, business growth, media exposure, business opportunities, time savings, cost savings, or other outcomes reflects that student's individual experience and does not guarantee or establish what another purchaser will experience.
Blue Blossom Academy does not guarantee that testimonials or examples represent the results that every student, or any particular student, can expect.
I would include this, but remember that the disclaimer doesn't give you permission to use an otherwise misleading testimonial. The FTC says endorsements used in advertising cannot convey claims that would be deceptive if the advertiser made them directly, and a simple “results may vary” disclaimer may not be sufficient for atypical results.
5. PURCHASES AND PAYMENT PLANS
By purchasing a Blue Blossom Academy Service, you agree to pay the purchase price, applicable taxes, and any other charges disclosed to you at checkout.
If you select a payment plan, you are agreeing to pay the entire purchase price according to the payment schedule presented at checkout. A payment plan is a method of paying the purchase price over time and is not a month to month subscription that may be canceled by discontinuing use of the course.
You authorize the applicable payment processor to charge the payment method provided according to the agreed payment schedule.
If a payment is declined, reversed, disputed, charged back, or otherwise remains unpaid, Blue Blossom Academy reserves the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to suspend or terminate access to the applicable Services and pursue collection of amounts lawfully owed.
6. REFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY
Because Blue Blossom Academy provides immediate access to digital educational content, proprietary course materials, sourcing information, downloads, and other intellectual property, all purchases are final and nonrefundable, except where a different written refund policy is expressly provided for a particular offer or where otherwise required by applicable law.
Choosing not to access, use, or complete a purchased course or Service does not entitle you to a refund and does not relieve you of payment obligations under an agreed payment plan.
Any specific refund or cancellation terms expressly presented at checkout for a particular offering will control with respect to that offering.
7. ACCOUNT ACCESS AND SECURITY
Course enrollment and access are licensed to the individual purchaser only unless Blue Blossom Academy expressly authorizes otherwise in writing.
You may not share, transfer, sell, lend, or otherwise provide your login credentials or course access to another person or entity, including employees, contractors, business partners, friends, or family members.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity occurring through your account.
Blue Blossom Academy reserves the right to suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe an account has been shared, transferred, compromised, or otherwise used in violation of these Terms.
8. COPYRIGHT, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROHIBITED USE
I would keep the strong expanded version we just created here rather than the old Section 2 Use License.
In particular, retain the language covering your:
course videos, photographs, graphics, written content, PDFs, downloads, worksheets, guides, floral recipes, flower lists, sourcing guides and sourcing information, supplier information, product recommendations, SKUs, design tutorials, floral mechanics, instructional methods, presentations, templates, business resources, marketing materials, course organization and curriculum.
And retain the explicit prohibitions against sharing accounts, screen recording, redistributing PDFs, sharing sourcing information, reselling materials, and using your materials to create competing courses or educational products.
I would delete the existing generic “Use License” section entirely because this provision replaces it.
9. SOURCING, SUPPLIERS AND THIRD PARTIES
Blue Blossom Academy may provide information regarding third party suppliers, wholesalers, manufacturers, factories, products, software providers, service providers, websites, and other resources.
Supplier and product information is based on information and experience available to us at the time it is provided. Third party products, pricing, minimum orders, availability, shipping, quality, policies, contacts, personnel, and business practices may change without notice.
Blue Blossom Academy does not control third party suppliers or service providers and cannot guarantee their continued availability, pricing, performance, shipping times, product quality, inventory, conduct, or fulfillment.
Any purchase, contract, communication, or transaction you enter into with a third party is between you and that third party. You are responsible for evaluating third party products and services and determining whether they are appropriate for your business.
This is particularly important for your Academy because your sourcing resources are a substantial part of what you're selling.
10. BUSINESS DECISIONS AND PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Information provided through Blue Blossom Academy is educational and should not be construed as individualized legal, tax, accounting, financial, insurance, or other licensed professional advice.
Examples of contracts, policies, pricing structures, business practices, marketing strategies, or other resources are provided for educational purposes and may not be appropriate for every business, location, or circumstance.
You are responsible for obtaining advice from qualified professionals regarding your individual legal, tax, accounting, insurance, licensing, regulatory, or financial circumstances when appropriate.
11. ACCURACY AND UPDATES
We make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate educational materials. However, industries, markets, technology, social media platforms, suppliers, pricing, products, laws, and business practices change over time.
Blue Blossom Academy does not warrant that every piece of information or third party resource will remain current, complete, available, or error free indefinitely.
We may update, modify, replace, reorganize, or discontinue portions of our Services or materials from time to time.
This replaces your current generic “Revisions and Errata.”
12. TERMINATION OF ACCESS
Blue Blossom Academy reserves the right, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to suspend, restrict, or terminate access to Services if we reasonably determine that a purchaser has violated these Terms, shared unauthorized account access, failed to make required payments, infringed or misused our intellectual property, engaged in fraudulent activity, or otherwise materially misused the Services.
Termination resulting from a violation of these Terms does not create a right to a refund except where required by applicable law.
Provisions concerning intellectual property, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution survive termination to the extent applicable.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Blue Blossom LLC, Blue Blossom Academy, and their owners, officers, employees, contractors, representatives, and affiliates shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or relating to your purchase, participation in, access to, inability to access, or use of the Services.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to a particular Service or these Terms shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you to Blue Blossom Academy for the specific Service giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
14. INDEMNIFICATION
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Blue Blossom LLC, Blue Blossom Academy, and their owners, officers, employees, contractors, representatives, and affiliates from claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees where recoverable, arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms, misuse of the Services, infringement or misuse of intellectual property, or unlawful conduct in connection with your use of the Services.
15. HONEST REVIEWS AND FEEDBACK
Nothing in these Terms prohibits or restricts you from providing an honest review or expressing your genuine opinion regarding Blue Blossom Academy, its products, or its services.
Blue Blossom Academy may protect its legal rights with respect to statements or conduct that are unlawful or otherwise actionable under applicable law, but nothing in these Terms is intended to restrict rights protected by applicable consumer review laws.
I would actually add this. The Consumer Review Fairness Act prohibits standardized consumer contracts from restricting honest reviews or imposing penalties for them. Given the issues you've been dealing with, you want your Terms to be very protective without accidentally becoming a non disparagement clause.
16. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
These Terms and disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Subject to any applicable dispute resolution provision, any legal action that may properly be brought in court shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Hamilton County, Indiana, or the applicable federal court serving that jurisdiction, and the parties consent to such jurisdiction and venue.
17. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
Blue Blossom Academy may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, business practices, or applicable law.
Updated Terms will become effective upon posting or on the effective date stated in the updated Terms, subject to any additional notice or consent required by applicable law.
18. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law or severed where necessary. The remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms, together with any policies or purchase terms expressly incorporated by reference or presented at checkout, constitute the entire agreement between you and Blue Blossom Academy concerning the applicable Services and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings concerning those Services, except where otherwise expressly agreed in writing.

All content, materials, resources, and intellectual property made available by or through Blue Blossom Academy are owned by or licensed to Blue Blossom Academy and are protected by United States and applicable international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
Protected materials include, without limitation, course videos, photographs, graphics, written content, PDFs, downloads, worksheets, guides, floral recipes, flower lists, sourcing guides and sourcing information, supplier information, product recommendations, SKUs, design tutorials, floral mechanics, instructional methods, presentations, templates, business resources, marketing materials, course organization and curriculum, and all other proprietary educational content provided through our courses, website, student portals, emails, or other platforms.
Your purchase does not transfer ownership of any Blue Blossom Academy content or intellectual property to you. Your purchase grants you a limited, revocable, non exclusive, non transferable license to access and use the materials solely for your own personal education and, where applicable, to implement what you learn within your own floral design or rental business.
You may use the skills, techniques, concepts, and knowledge you learn through Blue Blossom Academy in operating your own business. However, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, disclose, publish, republish, upload, download for unauthorized distribution, transmit, sell, license, sublicense, share, provide access to, or otherwise distribute Blue Blossom Academy course materials or proprietary content, in whole or in part, to any other person or entity.
Without limiting the foregoing, you may not:
Share your account, login credentials, course access, videos, PDFs, downloads, sourcing guides, floral recipes, supplier information, or other course materials with another person or business.
Copy, screen record, photograph, reproduce, download except where expressly permitted, distribute, post, publish, or publicly display course materials.
Sell, resell, license, sublicense, give away, or otherwise provide Blue Blossom Academy materials to any third party.
Use Blue Blossom Academy materials to create, teach, market, sell, or distribute a course, coaching program, membership, workshop, guide, digital product, educational resource, or other substantially similar or competing educational offering.
Represent Blue Blossom Academy materials, photographs, designs, written content, resources, or other proprietary materials as your own.
Remove, alter, obscure, or circumvent any copyright notice, trademark, attribution, access restriction, technological protection, or other proprietary notice associated with the materials.
Permit an employee, contractor, business partner, friend, family member, client, or any other person to access course materials through your individual enrollment unless Blue Blossom Academy has expressly authorized such access in writing.
Unauthorized access, copying, sharing, reproduction, distribution, resale, publication, or other prohibited use constitutes a violation of these Terms and may also constitute infringement or misappropriation of Blue Blossom Academy's intellectual property rights.
Blue Blossom Academy reserves the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to immediately suspend or permanently terminate access to any course or materials, without refund, if we reasonably determine that these Terms have been violated.
Blue Blossom Academy further reserves all rights and remedies available under applicable law, including seeking injunctive relief, monetary damages, recovery of profits attributable to infringement, statutory damages where available, attorneys’ fees and costs where recoverable, and any other available legal or equitable relief.
Nothing in these Terms constitutes a waiver of any copyright, trademark, trade secret, contractual, or other proprietary rights held by Blue Blossom Academy. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
