Makers’ Community/TechAlchemy/ Artemisnorth Policies, Terms & Community Guidelines
Last updated: March 5, 2026
Contact: artemis@artemisnorth.com
These terms apply to services and experiences offered by Artemisnorth, including the website, consulting, workshops, digital products, and virtual spaces hosted on platforms such as Rippily.
1) Community Guidelines (Code of Conduct)
Welcome. If you’re kind, you’re in the right place.
This is a safe, inclusive space for makers and humans who can act like it. We’re here to create, learn, and connect, not to audition for “Most Exhausting Person in the Room.”
The non-negotiables
Be respectful. Full stop.
Disagree without being disrespectful.
If you mess up, own it, fix it, move on. No spirals. No tantrums.
No shaming. No judging. No snarky “help.” This includes skill level, pace, tools, materials, learning style, body, identity, background, or where someone is at in their life.
Zero tolerance means zero tolerance
You will be removed for:
Hate speech, harassment, bullying, threats
Bigotry of any kind, including “jokes,” dog whistles, and “I’m just being honest”
Sexual harassment or creepy behavior
Rudeness, intimidation, dogpiling, or trying to make the room unsafe for others
If you’re wondering where the line is, you’re already too close to it.
Don’t bring appropriative or disrespectful content
Room names, visuals, presentations, and shared content must not include:
Discriminatory language or stereotypes
Culturally appropriative imagery or “spiritual aesthetics” you don’t have a real connection to
Anything that turns someone’s identity into your décor
Express your truth. Not someone else’s culture.
Moderation
Moderation exists to protect the community, not to debate you.
We’ll make decisions based on what keeps the space safe and functional
We don’t owe warnings, explanations, or a back-and-forth
If you think a decision was a mistake, you can message me politely and I’ll review it
If you come in hot, the answer is no
Refunds for paid events
If this is a paid event/workshop/class, and you’re removed for violating these guidelines, there will be no refund. That’s the deal.
Recording policy
The host may record sessions when appropriate and legal, and we’ll tell you if that’s happening
Participants may not record anything without written permission
Screenshots for personal reference are okay unless stated otherwise
Do not share screenshots/quotes outside this community without permission
By staying, you agree
If you’re here, you’re agreeing to these guidelines. If you don’t like them, this isn’t your room. That’s fine. There are lots of rooms. Have a nice day. Bye.
If something feels off, tell me: artemis@artemisnorth.com
2) Terms & Conditions
2.1 Scope of Services
I help creative entrepreneurs identify bottlenecks (ex: email, social media, workflow, admin overwhelm), design a tech stack that supports them, and improve systems so they have more time to create. The scope for your work is based on what we agree to in writing (booking details, invoice notes, or a written plan).
2.2 Educational Use Only (Not Professional Advice)
Consulting, workshops, templates, and educational content are provided for informational and educational purposes. They are not legal, accounting, tax, financial, medical, or professional IT security advice. If you need that level of guidance, you’re responsible for working with a qualified professional.
2.3 No Guarantees
I’ll bring strategy, structure, and clear next steps. I do not guarantee specific results. Outcomes depend on your follow-through, decisions, existing systems, budget, timing, third-party tools, and factors outside my control.
2.4 Tools and Vendor Independence
Any tools, services, platforms, or workflows I recommend are suggestions based on your goals and constraints. Unless explicitly stated in writing, I’m not affiliated with, sponsored by, or compensated by those companies.
2.5 Third-Party Platforms and Changes
Your experience may rely on third-party platforms and services (including Rippily, Stripe, Gumroad, SendFox, TidyCal, website hosting, and other software tools). I can’t control and am not responsible for third-party uptime, outages, feature changes, pricing changes, policy changes, data handling practices, or discontinued products.
2.6 Client Responsibilities (Accounts, Access, Backups)
You’re responsible for maintaining your accounts, passwords, billing, and access settings for any tools you use. You’re also responsible for backups, exports, and retention of your own content and business materials. If you choose to grant me access to any accounts, you can revoke access at any time.
2.7 AI Tools and Output Review
If we use or discuss AI tools, you are responsible for reviewing and verifying outputs before publishing, sending, or acting on them. AI can be wrong, biased, or outdated. Human judgment is required.
2.8 Confidentiality
I treat client information as confidential and use it only to deliver the services you request. I do not sell client information. Some services (payments, scheduling, email, community access) are delivered through third-party providers, described in the Privacy section below.
2.9 Recording and Transcripts
Workshops: I do not record workshops. Attendees may not record, screenshot, or redistribute workshop content unless I provide explicit written permission.
Consultations: Consultations are not recorded by default. Recording and transcripts are available only with your explicit opt-in. If you opt in, I will confirm consent again at the start before recording begins. You can withdraw consent at any time and recording will stop.
2.10 Technical Issues
Online services depend on internet connections and third-party platforms. You’re responsible for your own device setup and connection. If a technical issue on my side prevents delivery of a scheduled session or event, I will offer a reasonable remedy (reschedule, credit, or refund depending on the situation). If the issue is on your side, remedies are not guaranteed and are handled case-by-case.
2.11 Intellectual Property
All materials I provide (slides, worksheets, templates, written plans, downloads, and any recordings/transcripts if provided) are for your personal or internal business use only unless we agree otherwise in writing. You may not copy, resell, redistribute, publish, or share them publicly without written permission.
2.12 Payments, Chargebacks, and Access
Payments are processed through third-party providers. If a payment is disputed, reversed, or charged back, I may suspend or revoke access to services, events, community spaces, or digital products until the issue is resolved.
2.13 Removal from Spaces
This is a private space. I may remove content, limit access, or remove participants at my discretion to protect the community. If you violate the Community Guidelines, you may be removed immediately.
2.14 Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada.
