6. ONLINE COURSES, PROJECTS, COMMUNITY ACCESS & SUPPORT SERVICES
6.1 Definition of Courses and Platforms
Waters & Acland operates multiple digital platforms and course offerings. The legacy Discord-based online course and community (“Legacy Platform”) and the Waters & Acland New Online School (“New Platform”) are separate products, delivered through different systems, pricing models, and access structures.
While some tutorials, projects, or materials may be similar or shared between platforms, access rights, pricing, ownership, discounts, and support entitlements are not transferable between platforms unless explicitly stated in writing. Purchasing access to one platform does not automatically grant access to the other.
6.1.1 Online Projects & Course Content Scope
The Online Projects & Online Courses include access to the specific tutorials, lessons, and materials made available as part of the project or course at the time of purchase. Purchase of any online project or course, including the complete online course does not include or guarantee access to any future tutorials, projects, lessons, features, or content that may be released after the date of purchase.
Any additional content, projects, or materials released in the future may be offered separately, included as part of other products or services, or made available at our discretion.
6.1.2 Online Course & Online Project Suitability & Requirements
The Online projects, tutorials and Online Courses are intended for users with access to a basic home workshop and an appropriate set of woodworking tools. While many projects can be completed using hand tools only, successful completion assumes the availability of suitable tools, workholding, and clamps, or the willingness to acquire these over time.
Some projects assume access to timber suppliers, machining or thicknessing services, or the ability to work from pre-prepared timber. Waters & Acland does not supply timber or materials.
Project dimensions shown within tutorials are provided as guidance only and may be adapted to suit available timber, tooling and workshop constraints.
Tool lists provided for individual projects are recommendations rather than minimum requirements; however, a basic level of tooling and workshop setup is required to complete projects safely and accurately.
If you are unsure whether your tooling, workshop setup, or experience level is suitable, you are advised to review the Tool Requirements Guidance and free project tutorials prior to purchasing the Complete Online Course.
6.1.3 Discounts, Offers & Promotions
Any discounts, promotional pricing, or special offers made available in connection with Waters & Acland products or services are subject to availability and may be amended or withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Discounts provided as part of the complete online course purchase are intended as a benefit for active students for 12 months from the date of purchase, unless otherwise stated. Proof of purchase of the relevant course may be required to redeem or access any discounts or offers.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, special offers cannot be used in conjunction with any other discounts, promotional codes, or offers.
Where discounts or offers rely on third-party platforms, payment processors, or suppliers, their availability and operation are outside our control.
Discounts are not guaranteed, are non-transferable, and cannot be applied retrospectively to completed purchases unless explicitly stated.
Promotional offers may vary in content and structure, and may include or exclude optional add-on services, which will be clearly identified at the point of purchase.
6.2 Legacy Subscriptions (Discord-Based Access)
Legacy Discord memberships operate on a subscription model that may include course access, community access, tutor support, and discounts while the subscription remains active.
Legacy subscriptions:
Cancelling a legacy subscription will end all associated access and benefits tied to that subscription.
6.3 New Online School – One-Time Purchase Model
The New Online School operates on a “buy-and-keep” model. Online Courses, projects, or bundles are purchased as one-time payments and added to your W&A online school account.
“Lifetime Access”, “Buy and Keep Forever”, or “One-Time Purchase” means ongoing access to the purchased content for as long as it is made available on the New Platform. If the platform or specific content is discontinued, we will make reasonable efforts to provide alternative access, such as downloadable files or video links.
Tutor support is not included by default with course purchases unless explicitly stated at checkout.
6.3.1 Complimentary, Promotional & Goodwill Access
From time to time, Waters & Acland may grant complimentary, promotional, goodwill, beta, influencer, or other discretionary access to courses, projects, tutor support, or related services.
Such access does not constitute a purchase, does not create any ownership rights, and does not fall within the definition of “Lifetime Access”, “Buy and Keep”, or “One-Time Purchase”.
We reserve the right to modify, restrict, suspend, or revoke complimentary or promotional access at any time, with or without notice, particularly where such access was granted at our discretion or as part of a temporary arrangement.
Unless explicitly confirmed in writing, complimentary access does not convert into permanent paid access.
6.4 Early Access Programme for Discord Members
We may provide a limited low-price early-access pass to allow existing Discord members to explore the New Online School platform before purchasing, and while their Discord subscription remains active.
Early access is provided on a discretionary basis for evaluation purposes only and may be modified, revoked, or expire without notice.
Early access:
Tutor support provided during any early-access period, where offered, is discretionary, limited, and provided on a best-efforts basis only. Early access does not guarantee ongoing tutor support, response times, or future availability of support services.
Access to member discounts, where applicable, remains managed within Discord. Any discount codes or benefits tied to a Discord membership are available only within Discord. Not all members may be eligible for discounts.
6.5 Tutor Support – Scope, Availability & Fair Use
Tutor support is provided as occasional guidance for Waters & Acland projects only and is intended to support learning and skill development. It does not constitute personal mentoring, consultancy, or one-to-one coaching.
Tutor support is generally provided on a subscription basis, or as part of a free trial where applicable.
Where tutor support is described as “lifetime,” this refers to access to tutor support for the duration of the relevant online course or project purchased, subject to reasonable and fair use and the continued availability of tutor support as a service.
Tutor support is delivered solely on the online school platform through the Tutor Support Forum. Response times are not guaranteed; however, we aim to respond to project-related questions within 1–3 business days, subject to workload and availability.
Tutor support does not include:
We reserve the right to modify, limit, pause, or discontinue tutor support at any time, including changes to format, location, or delivery method. Tutor support may also be restricted where usage is deemed excessive, repetitive, or outside the scope of Waters & Acland course projects.
Any changes to tutor support will not affect access to purchased course materials.
Our goal is to teach sound techniques and safe practices, but woodworking is hands-on and individual outcomes will always vary.
Limitation of Liability
Tutor support is provided for educational purposes only and is intended to assist with learning and skill development on Waters & Acland projects. While tutors aim to provide accurate and helpful guidance, Waters & Acland does not guarantee the correctness, completeness, or applicability of any advice or information provided.
By using tutor support, you acknowledge that any actions taken based on guidance are your own responsibility. Waters & Acland and its tutors are not liable for any losses, damages, or outcomes resulting from the use of tutor support, including but not limited to mistakes, misinterpretations, or unsatisfactory results.
6.6 Individual Use & Account Sharing
All courses, subscriptions, and support services are intended for individual use only. Access is granted solely to the named account holder.
Shared accounts, account pooling, or access via institutional, educational, or organisational networks is not permitted. Accounts found to be shared, misused, or accessed by multiple users may be suspended or terminated without refund.
6.7 Service Availability, Platform Changes & Refunds
In rare or unforeseen circumstances — including but not limited to platform closure, technical failure, data loss, misuse of services, or breach of these Terms — we reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to any subscription, promotional offer, discount, or online service, with or without prior notice where necessary.
Where reasonably possible, and at our discretion, we may offer alternative means of accessing purchased course materials if a platform or service is discontinued. This may include downloadable files, emailed resources, or alternative video access. Ongoing community features or tutor support are not guaranteed where services are discontinued.
We do not provide individual technical support for new sign-ups beyond reasonable assistance required to access purchased content.
Video Content Access
All project videos on this site are embedded for streaming within the platform only. To protect our instructors’ work and intellectual property, video files are not available for download or offline use. Access to video content is limited to active members and must be viewed directly on this website.
Additional Use Restrictions
Access to video content is granted for personal, non-commercial viewing only and does not transfer ownership or usage rights. Videos may not be downloaded, screen-recorded, copied, shared, or redistributed in any form unless explicitly stated. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access if these conditions are not respected.
6.8 Platform & Subscription Management Changes
We reserve the right to change our course delivery systems, subscription management platforms, or community infrastructure at any time. This may include moving services to a new platform, changing access methods, or requiring users to re-register.
While we aim to provide reasonable notice where practical, uninterrupted access during platform transitions cannot be guaranteed. No refunds will be issued solely due to platform or system changes, provided that purchased content or equivalent access remains available following the transition.
6.9 Safety, Tools & Personal Responsibility
Our courses, tutorials, projects, and support materials are provided for educational and informational purposes only. While we demonstrate woodworking techniques using both hand tools and power tools (including, but not limited to, routers, joinery systems, and cutting tools), all demonstrations are general examples and not a substitute for professional, in-person instruction or individual assessment.
Our courses do not provide formal training or certification in the operation, setup, or safe use of specific woodworking machinery. They are designed to demonstrate furniture making techniques, processes, and workflows for students who have appropriate workshop experience or access to suitable training.
If you are unfamiliar with, inexperienced in, or uncertain about the safe use of any tool, machinery, or technique shown in our content, you should seek qualified professional instruction or in-person training before attempting it yourself. With hand tools, keep hands behind the cutting edge at all times, secure your workpiece, and cut away from yourself.
Woodworking involves inherent risks. By accessing and using our content, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for:
We make reasonable efforts to demonstrate safe working practices; however, we cannot control how tools are used in your workspace or the conditions in which you work. You agree that any reliance on our tutorials or guidance is entirely at your own risk.
You are solely responsible for wearing and maintaining appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including but not limited to eye, hearing, respiratory, and dust protection, whenever required.
Limitation of Liability
We are not responsible for any injury, damage, loss, or harm to persons, equipment, property, or materials arising from your use of the course content, projects, community support, tutor support, or tutorials. This includes, but is not limited to, direct, indirect, or consequential financial losses, such as the cost of replacement materials, third-party repair costs, or loss of time. You agree that our total liability to you for any claim arising out of these terms shall be limited to the amount you paid for the specific project, tutorial, course or service giving rise to the claim.
Experience & Outcomes
Our goal is to teach sound techniques and safe practices, but woodworking is a craft where individual outcomes are heavily influenced by the user’s personal experience, patience, and tool maintenance. We cannot guarantee specific results, as the quality of the finished product is ultimately determined by your own skill development and execution.
