Terms of membership

These terms are the agreement between you and ACTORS GYM LTD (trading as The Actors Gym) when you use the site or hold a membership.

Who can join

You must be 18 or over to create an account, and you confirm this when you sign up.

A parent or carer may create an account on behalf of an actor under 18. In that case the parent or carer is the account holder: the account is in their name, they accept these terms and they pay for the membership. They are responsible for supervising how the account is used, including the community (sharing tapes, comments and replies) and messaging with other members.

Your membership

• A membership gives you access to the member areas of the site while it is active: live classes, recordings, the Self-Tape Certificate course, challenges, the community and the other features listed on the pricing page.
• Plans renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. Prices and any free trial are shown on the pricing page before you pay.
• You can cancel at any time from Settings. Your access continues to the end of the period you have paid for.
• You can pause your membership within the limits shown in Settings.
• Payments are taken by Stripe. If a payment fails, Stripe may retry it; we will email you, and your access may end if payment is not made.

Classes and coaching

• Book classes from the schedule. If you cannot attend, cancel your booking at least two hours before the class starts so the place can go to someone else.
• Coaching sessions are paid for separately. The price and what is included are shown before you pay.
• Tutors are working actors and industry professionals. Occasionally a class has to move or be cancelled; we will tell you by email.

The community and what you share

• You keep ownership of the tapes, comments, messages and CV content you create. By sharing something with the community, you allow other members to see it on the site, and you allow us to show it there.
• Be respectful. Do not post anything unlawful, abusive, discriminatory or sexual, anything that infringes someone else's rights, or anyone else's personal information without permission.
• We may hide content and restrict posting or messaging for an account that breaks these rules.
• Sharing a tape with members does not let us use it in marketing. If you also tick the separate box for that tape, you allow The Reel Scene and The Actors Gym to share it on our website, on social media and in promotional materials, to promote The Actors Gym and its courses and to showcase your work as an actor, including tapes selected by our industry reviewers, where industry professionals who follow our platforms may see it. This lasts until you withdraw that permission, which you can do at any time on the tape's page or in Settings.

Our content

Recordings, lessons, scripts, guides and other material on the site are for your own training while you are a member. Do not copy, share or publish them.

Certificates and opportunities

The Self-Tape Certificate recognises that you completed the course to the standard set. Feedback, scores, certificates and any review or introduction we arrange are training tools; none of them guarantees work, an audition or representation.

Ending an account

You can ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, and will tell you why.

Liability

We work hard to keep the site running and the training accurate, but we cannot promise the site will always be available or free of errors. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your rights as a consumer.

Changes

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will tell members before it takes effect.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, without affecting any rights you have as a consumer where you live.
