Listed below are the terms and conditions relating to student use of the Writers’ Workroom at One Place. The term ‘Writers’ Workroom’ will be used to refer to any space used by One Lit Place to host any of our courses, workshops or seminars. Use of the Writers Lounge signifies the acknowledgement of a separate Terms of Service, which can be found here.
One Lit Place reserves the right to amend this policy at any time. When an amendment is made, we will notify all students via discussion forum on the Writers Workroom site. If at any time you decide that you no longer agree to these terms of service, you may freely cancel your participation in all courses, workshops, and seminars.
All students registered to a course, workshop, or seminar will receive a confirmation email from One Lit Place. Registration signifies the acceptance of all of the following terms and conditions. If you have any questions or concerns, you can email us at contact@onelitplace.com.
Payment. The first instalment of payment (out of 4 equal monthly payments) is required for official registration. Payments may be made via PayPal or Stripe with funds from a Paypal account or with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express card. Canadian customers may pay the enrolment fees via Interac e-transfer; U.S. customers may pay the enrolment fee (no tax) through Zelle bank transfer using email address: jennakalinsky@gmail.com
We want our students to have a positive experience embarking on your workshop; recognizing that sometimes things come up that may prevent course participation after the enrolment fee has been paid, we have the following refund policy:

The Mentor’s responsibility is limited to notifying you of any suspected or unresolved issues within the edited work. You are responsible for accepting (or rejecting) the Mentor’s suggestions and resolving any issues identified by the Mentor (e.g., suspected plagiarism).
Rejecting or disliking the Mentor’s suggestions is not a basis for refusing to pay any additional agreed-upon fees outlined in this Agreement.
Late arrival of manuscripts or any written materials to the Mentor will result in late delivery of feedback or conversation about the work.
Indemnity and Liability. The Mentor will comply with all applicable laws in the course of performing the services. You agree to indemnify the Mentor and the Company from any and all claims or demands, including legal fees, that arise out of any alleged libel, copyright infringement, or other legal or contractual issues created by you in writing, revising, publishing, or otherwise using the work.

Should the Company be unable to fulfil the duties as set out by you and the original Mentor, the Company will refund any amount paid by you for services not delivered (including any time paid for up front). You will not have any further liability with respect to the Agreement.
The Company will not be liable for any amount in excess of the fees due under the Agreement. This limitation on liability also applies if information or materials are damaged or lost without fault on the part of the Mentor.

The Editor may endeavour to flag elements of a work that may require copyright permissions and, depending upon the terms specified in this Agreement, may assist you in obtaining the necessary permissions. However, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, you accept responsibility for complying with copyright laws and obtaining the necessary permission to use any elements of provided text, graphics, photos, music and song lyrics, designs, trademarks, or other created work to be included in the final product.
Warranties & Contingencies. Editing is a process of offering advice and suggestions to you. While the Editor will make every effort to identify and bring questionable material to your attention, it is not possible to guarantee error-free content.
The Editor’s responsibility is limited to notifying you of any suspected or unresolved issues within the edited work. You are responsible for accepting (or rejecting) the Editor’s suggestions and resolving any issues identified by the Editor (e.g., suspected plagiarism).
Rejecting or disliking the Editor’s suggestions is not a basis for refusing to pay fees outlined in this Agreement.
Late arrival of website design specifics, content, or any materials to the Editor will result in late delivery of the website design.
Indemnity and Liability. The Editor will comply with all applicable laws in the course of performing the services. You agree to indemnify the Editor and the Company from any and all claims or demands, including legal fees, that arise out of any alleged libel, copyright infringement, or other legal or contractual issues created by you in writing, revising, publishing, or otherwise using the work.
Failure to Perform: If the Editor cannot perform the duties outlined in this Agreement for reasons beyond your or Editor’s control, the Company will make every effort to match you with another Editor to complete the project work. Should the Company be unable to fulfil the duties as set out by you and the original Editor, the Company will refund any amount paid by you for services not delivered (including any time paid for upfront). You will not have any further liability with respect to the Agreement.
The Company will not be liable for any amount in excess of the fees due under the Agreement. This limitation on liability also applies if information or materials are damaged or lost without fault on the part of the Editor.
Termination. The working relationship with the Editor and the Company can be revoked by either party at any time.
Questions and complaints. Any questions or concerns about the Website Design service may be directed to the Editor or to the Company at contact@onelitplace.com. We will respond to you as quickly as possible and all such discussions are confidential.
By registering for any Website design service and using the Website and associated third-party websites, you agree to be bound by this TOS agreement.
Agreement Acknowledgement. The Participant and the Company each confirm that they have full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and acknowledge that the acceptance of these Terms and Conditions and Terms of Service is sufficient proof of accepting the terms of this Agreement.
