Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions govern use of ivanvannorman.com and purchases made through this website. The website is operated by Create Crowd Sorcery, referred to below as “we,” “us,” or “our.”
The website presents Ivan van Norman’s professional work, projects, educational content, consulting services, and workshops. Please read these Terms before creating an account or making a purchase.
You may use this website for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms.
To create an account or make a purchase, you must be at least 18 years old, have reached the age of majority where you live, and have legal authority to enter into an agreement. A parent or legal guardian must make purchases on behalf of a minor. Workshop attendance by minors is permitted only when expressly allowed by the event’s stated attendance policy.
You must provide accurate registration and billing information and use only payment methods you are authorized to use.
Workshop dates, times, locations, prices, attendance requirements, and included materials are described on the applicable event page. Review that information before purchasing.
Workshop registrations are handled through Wix Events and its connected checkout services. We accept the payment methods displayed at checkout for your transaction. Availability may vary by location, device, and payment provider. Payment processing is subject to the applicable provider’s terms.
Prices are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. Advertised prices include mandatory charges as required by law. Any applicable government-imposed taxes that may lawfully be charged separately will be disclosed before payment.
Unless an event expressly offers another arrangement, payment is due in full at checkout. Registration is confirmed when payment is successfully processed and confirmation is issued.
A single-day pass covers only the selected day. A full-weekend pass covers the dates identified in its listing. Admission does not include travel, accommodation, meals, or other expenses unless expressly stated.
We may change prices for future purchases. A price change will not increase the amount due on an already-confirmed purchase without your agreement.
The applicable cancellation policy will be provided before purchase. Later policy changes will not retroactively reduce rights associated with an existing purchase.
We may make reasonable adjustments to workshop content or scheduling. If we cancel an event, we will offer a refund of the ticket price, mandatory fees, and applicable taxes paid to us. If we materially change the dates, location, or advertised instructor lineup, we will notify registered attendees and offer the choice of accepting the change or receiving a refund.
We do not undertake to reimburse independently arranged travel, accommodation, or other expenses, except where required by law.
Participants must follow reasonable safety, venue, and conduct requirements. Harassment, threats, discrimination, and materially disruptive behavior are not permitted.
You retain ownership of your original game designs, prototypes, writing, artwork, and other materials. Participating in a workshop or requesting feedback does not transfer ownership of your work to us, an instructor, or another participant.
Do not assume that material shared in a group workshop is confidential. Any confidentiality or nondisclosure arrangement must be agreed separately in writing.
Recording sessions or publicly distributing instructional materials requires permission from the relevant rights holder, except where applicable law permits otherwise.
Website content, including original text, photographs, artwork, videos, logos, and instructional materials is owned by us or the respective creators, publishers, licensors, and other rights holders.
Projects displayed in the portfolio may involve work performed as an employee, contractor, collaborator, producer, publisher, or other contributor. Their inclusion does not mean that Ivan van Norman personally owns every associated copyright, trademark, character, game, or other intellectual property right.
Third-party names, trademarks, logos, and project materials remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance identifies the relevant work or relationship and does not imply an endorsement beyond any relationship expressly stated.
You may view this website and share links to its public pages. Except as allowed by law or an express license, you may not reproduce, sell, redistribute, or commercially exploit protected content without permission from the relevant rights holder.
Nothing in these Terms limits fair use or other applicable legal exceptions.
Website articles, videos, workshops, and general guidance are provided for educational and informational purposes. They are not legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice and do not replace advice from a qualified professional familiar with your circumstances.
Participation does not guarantee publication, funding, sales, profitability, employment, a licensing agreement, or acceptance by a publisher. Examples and past results are not promises of future outcomes.
A separate written agreement governs any individually contracted consulting or professional services.
To the extent permitted by law, the website and its general informational content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee that the website will operate without interruption or error, or that all informational content will always be complete or current.
To the extent legally permitted, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement concerning the website and its general informational content.
These disclaimers do not cancel express commitments in a paid service description or separate agreement, or warranties and consumer protections that cannot legally be excluded.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the website, such as lost profits or business opportunities.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, violations of law, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
We may restrict access, suspend an account, or terminate an account when reasonably necessary to address a violation of these Terms, suspected fraud, unauthorized access, security threats, unlawful activity, or conduct that endangers or materially disrupts others.
Where reasonably practicable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue. Immediate action may be taken when necessary to protect people, systems, or legal obligations.
Account suspension or termination does not automatically forfeit a paid registration or eliminate any refund or other rights required by law. Restrictions affecting paid services will be addressed under the applicable purchase terms and legal requirements.
You may contact us to request account closure. Information retention and deletion are addressed in our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
This website may link to or embed third-party services, including video platforms, crowdfunding sites, and payment services. Those providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control their content, availability, or practices.
Please review our Privacy Policy for information about how we handle personal information. Purchasing a ticket does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive unrelated promotional emails.
We reserve the right to update these Terms and change, add, suspend, or discontinue website features and future offerings at any time, subject to applicable law and existing contractual obligations.
We will update the effective date when these Terms change. For material changes affecting registered users, we will provide appropriate notice and obtain renewed agreement where required.
Changes apply prospectively. They do not retroactively increase the price of an existing purchase, remove an accrued refund right, or override a separate written agreement without the agreement or legal authority required to do so.
These Terms are governed by California law and applicable United States federal law, without limiting mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live.
If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
