Terms of Service Effective Date: [13 July 2025]
Welcome to Dutch Mastery Academy’s Terms of Service! These Terms of Service constitute an agreement between us, Dutch Mastery Academy, and you (the “Member”), using our website and our Dutch teaching services, including self-paced courses, private classes, and group classes (our “Programs”). You must read and agree to these Terms of Service before requesting to become a Member. If you do not agree with these Terms of Service, you should not interact with our website or participate in our Programs.
BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PROGRAMS, YOU AGREE TO IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO OUR COURSES AND RELATED CONTENT. YOU EXPLICITLY CONSENT TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF OUR PROGRAMS AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU LOSE YOUR RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL ONCE THE PROGRAM HAS STARTED.
0. Definitions
Dutch Mastery Academy: The sole proprietorship operated by Yasmine Vorsters, under NEVO Consulting, registered in Belgium.
Member: Any natural person or legal entity who subscribes to or uses the services of Dutch Mastery Academy.
Programs: All services and products offered, including self-paced courses, private classes, group classes, downloads, workshops, and digital resources.
Agreement: The contract between Dutch Mastery Academy and the Member created by subscribing or purchasing services.
Content: All text, video, images, documents, and materials provided within the Programs.
Website: www.learndutchwithyas.com or other platforms used for Dutch Mastery Academy services.
1. Eligible Individuals
You can only participate in our Programs if you are at least 13 years of age and are able to be bound by agreements such as these Terms of Service. If you are under 13 years of age, you may only join our Programs with the help or supervision of a parent or guardian. Your use of our Programs must also not violate any applicable laws or regulations.
2. Membership, Subscription, and Cancellation
To become a Member, you must pay the applicable subscription fees, as provided on the payment page, after which access to an account will be provided to you. Membership fees are billed upfront, and subsequent charges are automatically billed monthly unless you cancel your subscription before the next billing cycle. Fee changes will only apply in the next billing cycle and will be communicated to you in advance.
You may cancel your monthly membership at any time. However, upon cancellation, you will lose access to all course materials, and your progress will be erased. If you choose to re-subscribe later, you will need to start the courses from the beginning.
We may offer certain Programs with a three-term payment plan option. By selecting this payment plan, you explicitly agree to fulfill all three scheduled payments in full, regardless of whether you continue to access the Program. This option allows you to spread the cost, but does not constitute a monthly subscription you can cancel partway. Failure to complete the payment schedule may result in suspension of access and collection measures.
3. Account and Access
3.1 Account:
After subscribing, you will receive access to an account. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and not sharing them with others. Unauthorized use must be reported immediately to yasmine@learndutchwithyas.com.
3.2 Account Termination:
You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us. No refunds will be issued for pre-paid fees. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account, at our sole discretion, for any reason, including violation of these Terms or applicable law.
Dutch Mastery Academy also reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the Programs, in whole or in part, without prior formal notice, if you fail to comply with any payment or other material obligations under these Terms. Any resulting costs or damages shall be borne by you.
3.3 Use of Team Members and Third Parties:
Dutch Mastery Academy reserves the right to engage persons other than Yasmine Vorsters or to collaborate with third-party service providers if necessary or beneficial. You acknowledge and agree that such use does not require separate notification.
4. Payments and Refunds
Payments are processed via Thrivecart using Stripe and PayPal. By subscribing, you authorize monthly recurring charges via your chosen payment method.
There are no refunds once access to the course has been granted. Exceptions may be made case-by-case.
If payment is not completed on time, we reserve the right to suspend access to Programs until payment is received. For three-term plans, non-payment of an installment will result in access suspension and may incur late fees.
A second payment reminder may include an administrative fee of €10. Persistent non-payment may result in collection procedures, including additional costs and interest as permitted by law.
5. Classes and Content
5.1 Self-Paced Courses:
Available 24/7 through our platform.
Includes videos, exercises, and documents for personal use only.
Progress is tracked in your account and will be lost upon cancellation.
5.2 Group Classes:
Conducted via Zoom or Google Meet on a schedule that may change.
Canceled group sessions will be rescheduled; you'll be notified.
Participation is expected to be respectful and engaged.
5.3 Private Classes:

Appointments must be canceled/rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance to avoid fees.

You receive a personal, non-transferable, non-commercial license to use the content.

8. Testimonials
If you provide a testimonial, you give us permission to use, edit, and display it (with your name and content) on our website, social media, and marketing. You can withdraw consent by emailing us, but previously distributed materials may still contain it.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

Dutch Mastery Academy is only liable for damages arising from gross negligence or intent. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, such as loss of income, third-party claims, or data loss.
Our total liability is strictly limited to the actual amount you paid for the specific Program or €100, whichever is greater. This does not affect rights granted by applicable law.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Dutch Mastery Academy and its team harmless from any claims or damages arising from your violation of these Terms or use of the Programs.
14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by Belgian law. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of Belgium.
15. Links to Other Websites
Our platform may link to third-party services. These Terms apply only to our Programs. We are not responsible for third-party websites or services.
16. Changes to Terms of Service
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on our website and notified to you by email or app. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
17. General Terms
These Terms are the full agreement between you and Dutch Mastery Academy.
You may not transfer your rights without written consent. We may delegate tasks to third parties.
Failure to enforce any right does not waive our right to enforce it later.
If any part of these Terms is invalid, the remainder stays in effect.
