The Academy may photograph or record educational activities for instructional, educational, documentary, archival, promotional, marketing, advertising, website, social media, public relations, and other lawful purposes. The student acknowledges and consents to SELF Academy photographing, filming, recording, and capturing the student's image, likeness, voice, and participation during Academy classes, studio activities, educational trips, events, showcases, and other Academy-related activities. Photographs, videos, recordings, and other media created by or on behalf of the Academy shall be owned by SELF Academy. The student acknowledges that no monetary compensation, royalties, or other payment will be provided. The Academy may reproduce, edit, publish, display, distribute, and retain authorized media for the purposes described in this section. This provision does not transfer ownership of a student's independently created work to the Academy merely because the student appears in the content.
For students under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must provide the required consent on the student's behalf. The Academy may photograph and record minor students only in accordance with the applicable consent and legal requirements.
The Academy may identify, tag, credit, mention, or link to the student or the student's personal or business social media accounts when publishing media. Students are encouraged to tag SELF Academy, @SewWithSELF and @BookedbySELF (on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads), in relevant social media content featuring their Academy experience, projects, or participation so the Academy may discover the content and consider resharing it on its official platforms. Tagging the Academy does not automatically grant the Academy permission of ownership of a student's original content.
Student Recording Restrictions: Students may not record or distribute classes, lectures, demonstrations, other students' images, or Academy activities. Students may not photograph, film, audio-record, screen-record, livestream, or otherwise capture Academy classes, lectures, demonstrations, instructional presentations, or other educational activities without the Academy's prior written authorization. This restriction exists to protect the Academy's intellectual property, proprietary Course Materials, instructional content, confidential information, and the rights and privacy of professors, staff, guest instructors, and fellow students. The Academy's protecting materials may not be reproduced to create unauthorized copies, distribute instructional content, or commercially exploit the Academy's educational resources.
Prohibition on Distribution and Unauthorized Use: Students may not copy, reproduce, upload, publish, livestream, sell, share, distribute, transmit, or otherwise make Academy classes, lectures, demonstrations, recordings, or protected instructional materials available to other individuals or through any website, social media platform, messaging service, file-sharing service, or other medium. Students may not share access credentials, restricted recordings, course links, or other protected resources with unauthorized persons. These restrictions apply whether the material is shared publicly, privately, for compensation, or without compensation. Unauthorized recording or distribution may result in disciplinary action, termination of enrollment, and other lawful remedies.
