Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website pathforge.buzz (the “Site”) and any related content, lessons, templates, emails, and educational materials (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are operated by IMBRACE Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”).

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated by reference.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 16 years old. If you are under 16, you may not use the Services. If you are between 16 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Services only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services is legal in your location. We do not represent that the Services are available or appropriate in every country.

The Services provide educational content about sewing compression sportswear, functional garment construction, materials selection, pattern development, fit testing, and brand-launch operations. The content is general information and training guidance, not a promise of specific commercial results.

The Services are not medical advice and do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. “Joint support” in our curriculum refers to design and construction concepts such as compression mapping, panel geometry, seam direction, and stabilizing zones; it is not a medical claim.

If you intend to sell compression apparel, you are responsible for product safety, labeling, regulatory compliance, and appropriate claims in your market. Requirements can vary by country and by sales channel. You should consult qualified professionals (for example, product safety, legal, or regulatory advisors) as needed.

Results from applying the training vary based on fabric properties, machine setup, thread/needle selection, testing consistency, and real-world use conditions. We do not guarantee that a particular construction method will perform the same way across all materials or environments.

The Services may include course modules, written lessons, checklists, templates, pattern guidance, technical explanations (for example, negative ease calculations, stitch elasticity considerations, differential feed impacts), and operational guidance for launching a sports apparel brand (for example, spec packs, bill of materials, sampling timelines, and supplier briefs).

We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We try to do this in a way that is practical for learners, but we are not required to maintain any specific feature, module, lesson sequence, or format indefinitely.

If the Services include registration, you agree to provide accurate information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. In particular, you agree that you will not:

• Use the Services in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, servers, or related systems, or attempt to bypass security measures.
• Use automated tools (including bots, scrapers, crawlers, or scripts) to access, copy, or monitor the Services without our written permission.
• Upload, transmit, or introduce malware, viruses, or other harmful code.
• Impersonate any person or entity, misrepresent your affiliation, or provide false information in registration or messages.
• Interfere with the operation of the Services, including by attempting to overload, disrupt, or degrade performance.
• Use the Services to send spam, unsolicited marketing, or deceptive communications.
• Access the Services from a region where access is prohibited by applicable sanctions or export-control laws.

We may monitor the Services to protect security and integrity. We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe a user is violating these Terms or creating risk for the Services or others.

The Services and all content included on or made available through the Services (including text, graphics, lesson structure, templates, checklists, downloadable materials, and the Site’s code and design) are owned by IMBRACE Ltd or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal learning and internal business planning. This license does not allow you to:

• Copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or publicly perform the content except as necessary for your personal learning use.
• Resell, sublicense, or share course materials, templates, or lessons with non-registered users, or publish them on other websites or platforms.
• Create derivative training products that substantially replicate our materials, sequence, or checklists.
• Remove proprietary notices or trademarks.

You may, of course, apply techniques you learn to your own garments and your own brand. The restriction above is about redistribution of training materials, not about your ability to make products.

If you submit information to us (for example, questions, feedback, messages, or project details), you represent that you have the right to provide it. Do not submit confidential information you do not want shared with us, and do not submit third-party personal data unless you have a lawful basis to do so.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use your submissions for the purpose of operating and improving the Services, including responding to your request and maintaining support records. We do not claim ownership of your designs or your brand assets, but we may retain communications as described in the Privacy Policy.

The Services may reference third-party tools, suppliers, or platforms (for example, manufacturing concepts, labeling resources, or external reading). Any third-party website or service is operated by its own provider and is governed by its own terms and policies.

We are not responsible for third-party content, availability, or practices. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and the relevant third party.

The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any content is complete, accurate, or current. Sewing outcomes depend on many variables, including materials and user technique, and may not be reproducible across all contexts.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, IMBRACE Ltd and its directors, employees, contractors, and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Services.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Services will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid to us for the Services in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) £100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the limitations above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless IMBRACE Ltd and its directors, employees, contractors, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Services, (b) your submissions, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your infringement of any rights of another party.

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, war, terrorism, labor disputes, supply-chain disruptions, internet outages, hosting failures, or cyberattacks.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created risk for the Services, or engaged in misuse. You may stop using the Services at any time.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and governing law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of laws rules. Subject to mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence, the courts of London, England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services.

If you are a consumer in the UK or the European Economic Area, you may have additional rights under mandatory local consumer laws. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit those rights where they apply.

Before filing any formal claim, you agree to contact us and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your desired resolution. We will try to resolve disputes informally within 30 days of receiving your notice.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief where appropriate to protect rights or prevent harm.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect 14 days after we post the updated Terms on the Site, unless a change is required by law or is necessary for security or operational reasons, in which case it may take effect sooner.

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services.

We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, asset sale, financing, or similar transaction. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations without our prior written consent.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

By using the Services and providing your email address, you consent to receive communications from us electronically. We may communicate with you by email or by posting notices on the Site. Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

If you have questions about these Terms or the Services, contact us by email at [email protected].
