1. Access and Use

Purchase of access to Stepping Forward: Explore the Performing Arts is available to users based in the United Kingdom and is not intended for international use.

Purchase grants a non-transferable, non-exclusive licence for personal use or approved educational group use only. Content must not be copied, shared, redistributed or used for commercial purposes without prior written permission from The Share Foundation.

2. Appropriate Use and Safeguarding

Users must engage with the Service respectfully, responsibly and safely. Any misuse of the platform, inappropriate behaviour, or breach of safeguarding expectations may result in suspension or termination of access.

You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date purchase and account information and to update this information as required to allow us to process transactions and contact you if necessary.
