MUST-KNOW FACTS ABOUT YOUR SEW LIKE A PRO™ MEMBERSHIP

 

Where the membership sites are housed.

As of 2020, Simplero houses all Sew Like A Pro™ membership sites and the sewing school.  All financial transactions also go through Simplero.  Simplero issues your member ID and password.

 

Acceptable use of the member site and its material.

To comply with the US CAN-SPAM law, all e-mail messages will automatically have an opt-out link. You may choose to opt-out at any time. We do not recommend doing this since it also means your member participation will end since we can no longer send you emails about the course(s).

In an attempt to conform with the ever-changing GDPR laws, we will try to only send you the information you requested. As a member of the sewing school, it is advisable you choose to receive all emails regarding the school as well as the weekly newsletters.

 

Access the member site as often as you want or need to. All videos, photos and downloads are here for your training every minute of every day, 365 days a year. If something every happens to where the site will be down for an extended period of time, we will email you as soon as possible.

As long as you are a Sew Like A Pro™ member in good standing, you may use any tutorial photos or downloadable PDF worksheets presented in the SLP™ school in your own personal dressmaking business.

When using any SLP™ documents in your dressmaking business, you may add your own logo, website, phone, and other contact information. That is why we left the logo space blank on forms like the measuring sheets and sketch women. (Once again, you are not permitted to re-sell any items, no matter which contact information is on the document.)

You may translate any PDF downloads into your preferred language. (Once again, you are not to resell these items, no matter which language they are in.)

Use of your photos, comments or testimonials.

To help promote Seams Sensational, LLC or Sew Like A Pro™ online sewing school, Teresa Sigmon, or any of her representatives may use any photos, video images or footage, comments or testimonials you share while participating in the program.

  • via email,
  • surveys,
  • private forum groups,

Emails you will receive

  1. You will receive the usual Seams Sensational / Sew Like A Pro™ newsletter and blogs which is usually 4-10 emails per month.
    • You may opt-out of receiving this, but it is not recommended since the videos are good supplemental training.

  3. You will receive regular emails regarding the live Q&A calls.
  4. You will receive occasional emails regarding any updates or member site changes.

You acknowledge that we have the right but not the obligation to use and display any postings or contributions of any kind (such as for a testimonial to help promote SLP™) and that we may elect to cease the use and display of any such materials (or any portion thereof), at any time for any reason whatsoever.

BILLING & REFUNDS

 

Refund policy

If you enrolled in either the COMPLETE LATIN-SKATE or the COMPLETE BALLGOWN PROGRAM:  You are eligible for the 30-day (or four modules which ever comes first) “I can SEW do this!” money back guarantee* when you meet the following qualifications:

In order to submit a request for a refund, you must submit your completed "homework": including all completed documents and forms that contribute to your progress as well as photos of any your design, pattern and leotard-in-progress or whatever materials pertain to your particular program. "Homework" items are indicated for each program.

No exceptions.

WHY? I put a tremendous amount of work into creating this program. I know it is effective -- if you follow the system and do the work.

I TRULY WANT YOU TO SUCCEED. You must only enroll in the SLP™ school if you are willing to do the work -- even if it takes longer than the eleven weeks of the course.

*Your refund may have a service fee of 6%-10% deduction based on the total amount paid.

 

Billing policy

It is your responsibility to make sure the credit card and contact information for your account is always up-to-date.

All recurring charges are automatically invoiced and charged to the card on file.  When this happens, you will get an email invoice from Simplero, Stripe, PayPal or another bank who may have handled the transaction.

If, after several tries (and 36 hours), your card cannot be charged the outstanding amount, your account will be suspended and you given a final attempt at email contact.  After that, your Sew Like A Pro™ membership will be suspended until everything is righted and payments are caught up.

We reserve the right to adjust prices for any of the Sew Like A Pro™ programs as needed. You will be notified and given the right to continue or terminate.
