AL Dante Terms and Conditions
Website, Course, AL Dante Club and Private Mentorship
Effective date: September 9, 2026
1. Who we are
These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and Innervision Capital LLC, doing business as AL Dante Channel (“AL Dante,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They apply to aldante.art and the products and services offered through it, including the AL Dante Food Videography Course, AL Dante Club, private mentorship, and related digital materials (together, the “Services”).
Contact: max@aldante.art
2. Acceptance and eligibility
By visiting the website, creating an account, placing an order, or using a Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy and Security Policy. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use the Services.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract. If you purchase for a business or other organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organization.
The English version of these Terms controls. A Russian translation may be provided for convenience.
3. Service descriptions and order terms
The sales page and checkout shown at the time of purchase describe the product, current price, payment schedule, access period, included materials, and any special cancellation or refund terms. Your order confirmation forms part of this agreement.
If a product-specific written term conflicts with a general term here, the product-specific term controls for that purchase, unless applicable law requires otherwise. Marketing examples, informal comments, social posts, and optional bonuses do not change the purchased Service unless they are clearly included at checkout.
4. Accounts
- Each purchase and membership is for one person unless the checkout expressly says otherwise.
- You must provide accurate information, protect your login credentials, and promptly update your email and payment details.
- You may not share, sell, transfer, or allow another person to use your account, Discord role, meeting link, or restricted recording.
- Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity through your account until you notify us, except where the law provides otherwise.
5. Prices, payments, and taxes
Prices are shown in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise. You authorize the payment provider to charge the payment method you select for the amount and schedule disclosed immediately before you confirm the order.
Card payments may be processed by Stripe and PayPal payments by PayPal. Those providers process payment information under their own terms and privacy notices. We do not receive or store your complete card number.
Cryptocurrency may be offered for a one-time product or a manually confirmed access period. Blockchain transfers may be irreversible. Cryptocurrency is not an automatic monthly payment method for AL Dante Club unless a future checkout clearly describes a separate lawful recurring arrangement.
We will calculate, collect, and remit sales, use, VAT, or similar taxes when we are required to do so. You remain responsible only for taxes or duties that applicable law places directly on you and that were not collected at checkout.
6. AL Dante Food Videography Course
The Course is a self-paced recorded educational product. The sales page, checkout, and order confirmation accepted for a purchase describe its lessons, included materials, language options, support, and community access, if any.
“Lifetime access” means access for the commercial life of that Course while we continue to operate and maintain it. It does not mean the lifetime of the purchaser or creator, and it does not require us to preserve every lesson, platform, feature, or community forever.
We may update, replace, reorganize, or retire individual lessons while making reasonable efforts to preserve the Course’s overall educational purpose. Community access included with the Course lasts only while that community remains active and available.
If an account has no login or Course activity for 24 continuous months, we may treat it as inactive and deactivate or delete nonessential account data. Where practical, we will send advance notice to the account email. We may retain transaction and legal records as required by law.
Unless the sales page, checkout, or order confirmation accepted for your purchase expressly states otherwise, Course access does not include private mentorship, ongoing creative consultation, personal critique, or guaranteed answers from Max. Technical and account support remains available for access, billing, and delivery issues.
Any free, public, alumni, Course, or legacy Discord space is a community space and a discretionary benefit, not a monitored support desk or paid consulting service. Max is not required to monitor every channel, answer every question, review work, or maintain any particular level or frequency of participation.
A voluntary reply, critique, or suggestion on one occasion does not create an ongoing obligation to provide similar assistance. We may reorganize, archive, restrict, moderate, or close a free or legacy community space when reasonably necessary.
These limitations do not reduce a specific support or community right expressly included in the written sales page, checkout, or order confirmation accepted at the time of purchase, and they do not limit rights that cannot be waived by law.
7. What AL Dante Club is
AL Dante Club is an ongoing monthly group membership focused on current food videography, food cinematography, and food filmmaking work. It provides Max’s participation through announced group sessions and community activity as described for the applicable Program Cycle. It is not an accredited school, a fixed course library, private mentorship, or a promise of individual coaching.
Each announced Club Program Cycle is intended to include four core live sessions of at least two hours each: one focused deep dive, one real AL Dante project breakdown, one live Q&A, and one member critique session. The Club also includes at least one live editing work session during each Program Cycle. Community posts, polls, personal notes, extra streams, guests, and additional materials are optional unless expressly promised for a specific cycle.
The main language is English. Optional sessions or posts in Russian or another language may be offered, but are not guaranteed.
Club community spaces are not continuous, on-demand, or private support services. Max may participate between sessions as time allows, but does not guarantee that every post or direct message will be read or answered. Individual support is available only when expressly included in a separate written offer.
8. Program Cycles, Billing Periods, and access
A “Program Cycle” is the Club’s announced content period. A “Billing Period” is your personal paid month. They are separate.
Your first Billing Period begins on your activation date and normally ends on the same calendar date in the following month. If that date does not exist in the following month, the payment provider may use the last day of that month. The checkout or account page will show your actual renewal date.
When you join, you receive:
- the common Start Here materials available to active members;
- recordings and materials already released in the current Club Program Cycle;
- the upcoming schedule; and
- new Club material released before your paid access ends.
Earlier Program Cycles do not open automatically. A person who joins after one or more live events may receive their available recordings but cannot retroactively participate in those events. The four core sessions are tied to the Club Program Cycle, not guaranteed inside every member’s individual Billing Period.
If you cancel, Club materials, restricted recordings, and the Club Discord role remain available until the end of the paid Billing Period and then end. If you later rejoin, previously entitled Program Cycles may reopen while the new membership is active; skipped cycles remain locked unless separately offered.
9. Questions and critique submissions
For each Q&A and critique event, one active member may submit one eligible entry during the submission window shown in the account. The window remains open during the relevant Program Cycle and closes three hours before the event.
A Q&A entry contains one question. A critique entry contains one video together with the member’s account link and any short context requested by the form.
If submissions exceed the event limit, the system randomly selects up to the announced number, initially up to 20. A member selected in the previous event of the same type sits out one draw and may enter again after that. There is no permanent queue, and unselected entries do not carry forward.
Selection, review, and a personal answer are not guaranteed. We may exclude an entry that is inaccessible, unlawful, unsafe, unrelated, or submitted without the necessary rights. If time remains after the prepared Q&A list, Max may answer additional questions from the live chat.
10. Live sessions and recordings
Core Club sessions are expected to be recorded and made available to eligible members. Live editing streams may be divided into parts or made available for a limited time. We cannot guarantee that every session or every minute will be recorded when a technical failure, platform failure, confidentiality issue, or other reasonable limitation prevents it.
You may attend without turning on your camera. If you speak, appear on camera, share your screen, post in the session chat, or submit a question or work, your name, voice, image, chat message, account, or work may appear in the internal Club recording.
Internal Club recordings are for authorized members only. We will obtain separate permission before using an identifiable member contribution, testimonial, voice, image, or submitted work in public advertising, unless applicable law clearly permits that use without separate permission.
11. Club enrollment, activation, and earlier reservations
When the Club is open, the checkout will disclose the activation date, first Billing Period, recurring price and frequency, first expected renewal date, and cancellation method before payment. Your membership becomes active according to those checkout disclosures.
If checkout accepts payment before the activation date, the page must state when access and the first Billing Period begin and whether that payment authorizes recurring renewal. No recurring charge will occur before activation.
Any refundable prelaunch reservation accepted before the Club’s opening remains governed by the reservation terms displayed and accepted at that checkout and by the order confirmation. If its start date is extended, the reservation holder may keep the reservation for the revised date or request a full refund. If we decide not to launch, we will initiate a full refund to the original payment method. Processing time after we issue a refund depends on the payment provider and bank.
Recurring billing is authorized only when the checkout clearly states the recurring price, frequency, activation rule, first renewal timing, and cancellation method immediately before payment, and you give affirmative consent. We will retain evidence of that consent as required by law. If recurring consent is not obtained, the payment covers only the first activated Billing Period and no later charge is authorized.
12. Monthly renewal, cancellation, and reactivation
After valid enrollment, Club renews monthly at the price shown at enrollment until you cancel. The account will show the current Billing Period, renewal price, and next charge date.
You may cancel online through your account without giving a reason. Cancellation stops future renewal and does not immediately end the already paid period. We will send or display a cancellation confirmation.
If you cancel and then reactivate before the paid period ends, reactivation only restores the scheduled renewal and does not charge you immediately. If paid access has already expired, reactivation starts a new Billing Period and renewal date with a new payment.
13. Failed payments
If a renewal payment fails, we may notify you and provide a three-calendar-day grace period to update the payment method. During that period, access may remain available. If payment is still unsuccessful after the grace period, we may suspend Club materials and remove the Club Discord role.
After a successful payment, we restore access and the appropriate role. Payment providers may retry charges according to the disclosures and settings shown in your account.
14. Refunds
Course and other immediately delivered digital products
Except where the checkout states a different policy or applicable law requires otherwise, sales of immediately delivered digital content are final after access is provided. We will correct duplicate or unauthorized charges and provide a remedy if the purchased product is not delivered.
Club
Refunds for any prelaunch reservation are governed by Section 11. After activation, cancelling stops future charges but does not normally create a prorated refund for a partially used Billing Period. A refund may still be provided where these Terms expressly promise one, where we fail to deliver a paid period as described below, or where applicable law requires it.
Mentorship
Private mentorship scope, location, scheduling, travel costs, rescheduling, and refund terms are stated in the written proposal or invoice accepted for that engagement. Those specific terms control.
Mandatory consumer rights
Nothing in these Terms removes a right that cannot legally be waived. If applicable law gives you a cooling-off or withdrawal right for digital content or services, any request to begin performance immediately and any acknowledgment that a withdrawal right is lost must be obtained separately where required.
15. Schedule changes and an undelivered Program Cycle
We may change a topic, project, date, format, software, or equipment when reasonably necessary. If one core session cannot take place, we may reschedule it to the nearest practical date, including placing two sessions in one week. A reasonable reschedule does not create an automatic cash refund.
If an entire Program Cycle is cancelled and its four core sessions cannot reasonably be rescheduled, affected active members will receive one of the following: a replacement Program Cycle without the next recurring charge while access continues; or, if the member does not wish to continue, a refund of the applicable paid Club charge for the cancelled cycle. The available remedy may be adjusted where required by law or where a member’s Billing Period only partially overlaps the affected cycle.
16. Price and material-term changes
We may change the Club price for future Billing Periods. We will not change a completed charge retroactively. Before a new price applies, we will send a clear notice stating the new amount, effective renewal date, and how to cancel. Notice will be provided within the timeframe required by applicable law; our operational target for the monthly plan is 30 days before the first renewal at the new price.
We may also update these Terms or materially change the membership. Material changes will be communicated in a form you can retain when required. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by law.
17. Community rules
- Critique the work, not the person. Harassment, threats, hate speech, targeted humiliation, and abusive conduct are not allowed.
- Do not copy, download, repost, or discuss another member’s nonpublic work outside the Club without that member’s permission.
- Do not submit client work, music, footage, personal information, or other material unless you have the right to show it inside the Club.
- Do not record, restream, publish, or distribute a Club session, meeting link, restricted recording, or member list.
- Do not spam, repeatedly promote services, scrape member information, or use the community for unsolicited direct messages.
- Follow reasonable moderator instructions and the terms and rules of Discord and other third-party platforms used by the Club.
18. Our intellectual property
The website, Course, Club recordings, lessons, text, graphics, project files, downloads, trademarks, and other materials supplied by AL Dante are owned by us or used with permission and are protected by intellectual-property law.
We grant you a limited, personal, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use purchased materials for your own learning during the authorized access period. You may not copy, sell, sublicense, publish, distribute, upload, restream, share credentials, remove notices, build a competing library, train a commercial model on restricted materials, or exploit them beyond that license without written permission.
You may use skills and general ideas you learn to create your own original work. These Terms do not prevent normal independent creative work.
19. Your submissions
You retain ownership of the work you submit. You confirm that you own it or have all permissions needed to display and discuss it inside the Club, including permissions relating to clients, people, music, brands, and locations.
By submitting work for a question, critique, or community discussion, you grant us a limited, nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, technically adapt, and discuss that work only as reasonably needed to operate the Club, conduct the session, make the internal recording available, moderate the community, and maintain necessary records.
This internal license does not give us permission to use your work in public advertising. You should remove confidential client information before submission. You may request removal from future Club display, but material already incorporated into a session recording may remain where removal is technically unreasonable or would impair other members’ paid access, subject to applicable law.
20. Results and educational disclaimer
The Services provide education and examples based on our experience. We do not guarantee followers, views, audience growth, clients, brand contracts, income, employment, sponsorships, creative success, or any other result. Your results depend on your decisions, effort, market, resources, and circumstances.
Business, tax, legal, nutrition, fitness, health, and equipment-safety discussions are general information, not professional advice. Obtain qualified advice for your situation and use equipment, food, electricity, lights, stands, tools, and locations safely.
21. Third-party services
The Services may depend on third parties such as payment processors, Discord, Cloudflare, email providers, app stores, calendar services, and other tools. Their services, accounts, privacy practices, availability, and rules are outside our control. You may need a compatible device, internet connection, email account, or third-party account.
We are not responsible for an independent third party’s acts or permanent outage, but we will make reasonable efforts to restore access, change providers, reschedule, or provide another appropriate remedy where our paid obligation is materially affected.
22. Availability and security
We aim to keep the website and Services available, but they are provided on an “as available” basis. Maintenance, cyber incidents, internet failures, streaming failures, software bugs, force majeure, or third-party outages may cause interruption. No online system or recording method is perfectly secure or error-free.
You may not probe, attack, bypass, scrape, reverse engineer, overload, or attempt unauthorized access to the website, player, account system, payments, or restricted content.
23. Suspension and termination
We may warn, restrict, suspend, or terminate access when reasonably necessary to address nonpayment, account sharing, fraud, security risk, unlawful content, infringement, harassment, spam, serious disruption, or a material breach of these Terms. We will consider the seriousness of the issue and applicable law when deciding whether a refund is due.
We may discontinue a product or the Club for health, business, legal, safety, or operational reasons. We will stop future Club renewals and, where practical, give notice. For a prepaid period we cannot provide, we will provide the access, replacement, credit, or refund required by Section 15 and applicable law.
24. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT EVERY FEATURE, RECORDING, PLATFORM, OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE.
This section does not exclude warranties or consumer protections that cannot legally be excluded.
25. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AL DANTE AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR OPPORTUNITY ARISING FROM THE SERVICES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR A CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT THAT CAUSED THE CLAIM.
These limits do not apply where prohibited, including liability that cannot be limited for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury, or mandatory consumer rights.
26. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will reimburse us for third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs caused by your unlawful use of the Services, your material breach of these Terms, or a submission that infringes another person’s rights. This does not require you to indemnify us for our own negligence or misconduct.
27. Disputes and governing law
Before filing a formal claim, you and AL Dante agree to send a written description to the other party and allow 30 days for a good-faith attempt to resolve it. This does not prevent a valid small-claims filing, urgent injunctive relief, a charge dispute made in good faith, or a complaint to a regulator.
These Terms are governed by Florida law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that mandatory consumer law in your place of residence may still apply. Subject to those mandatory rights, disputes will be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in Florida, United States.
28. General terms
If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary, and the remainder will continue. Our failure to enforce a provision once is not a waiver. We may assign these Terms as part of a merger, sale, restructuring, or transfer of the Services; you may not assign your account or membership without written consent.
These Terms, the Privacy and Security Policy, the applicable sales page, checkout disclosures, and order confirmation form the entire agreement for the purchased Service. They replace earlier discussions about that purchase but do not remove a separate written agreement signed by both parties.

Questions, cancellations that cannot be completed in the account, legal notices, and complaints may be sent to max@aldante.art.
