Welcome to World Music Method! We’re more than just a music platform; we’re a vibrant, global community dedicated to exploring and celebrating the world through music. This is a no-algorithm, no-bullshit platform dedicated to championing the rights of musicians and redefining their value in modern society. By accessing our services, you’re joining a movement to elevate the voices of musicians worldwide. Let’s unite on our shared interests and learn from each other, rather than be torn apart by our differences. Together, let’s dive into the rhythms of the world and create something truly extraordinary!

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By engaging with our website and services, you are agreeing to these terms. If they don’t resonate with you, please refrain from using our platform. We update these terms occasionally to reflect new features or changes, and we’ll notify you about these updates via email.

2. Your Account

Join our community by signing up for an account. If you’re 16 or older, you can embark on your musical journey with us. To get started, we’ll need a few details: your name, email, the type of profile you’d like to create, and where you’re joining us from. You can choose whether to display your location visibly on your profile or keep it private. If you ever decide it’s time to leave, you can email us to delete your account, and we’ll promptly erase your data from our system.

3. Content Sharing And Discovery

Our platform thrives on the rich tapestry of non-western, non-commercial music. We encourage you to share music you love and discover new sounds that others bring into our community. This is your space to explore and introduce others to the diverse world of music that might not have a voice elsewhere. Let’s focus on the art of music and the joy of discovery.

4. Content Guidelines

One of our core focuses is redefining the value placed on musicians and the art of learning an instrument. Accordingly, this isn’t a place for electronic music composed solely of MIDI and samples without live instrument elements. We aim to foster a human connection—no videos with robot AI voices are allowed. Additionally, don’t stress about perfecting your content with advanced editing. At World Music Method, art and creativity are what matter, not the resolution quality or video dimensions.

Furthermore, our platform is dedicated strictly to music and its culture. If you feel the urge to share pictures of your latest meal or other off-topic content, World Music Method may not be the right place for you. Let’s keep our focus sharp and aligned with our shared passion for unique, cultural music.

5. Respecting Intellectual Property

We love and respect creativity. You can share content from our site by linking directly to it or citing it appropriately. Our course materials and videos are for viewing on our platform only and should not be copied or distributed elsewhere. Need specific materials for another use? Get in touch with us.

6. Privacy and Payment Security

Your privacy is a top priority for us. We don’t sell your data or track your activities outside our site. We use your information only to enhance your experience with us and nothing more. For payments, if you choose to save your payment details or sign up for a subscription, these are managed securely through the leading e-commerce platform WooCommerce. WooCommerce adheres to robust security protocols to keep your financial information safe.

7. Community Engagement

Our platform thrives on positive interactions. Users who disrupt our community may be restricted from using social features but will still have access to their purchases. Let’s keep our community uplifting and supportive!

8. Legal Matters

Disputes should be rare, but if they occur, we’ll handle them under UK law in the most amicable way possible. We’re all about harmony and resolution.

9. Changes to Terms

We’re committed to transparency and will keep you informed about any changes to our terms and conditions. Should there be updates, we’ll notify you via email, allowing you to review the modifications. We encourage you to stay updated with these changes, as continuing to use our platform after these notifications will signify your agreement to the new terms.

10. Economical Content Management

Data storage and web hosting have their costs, and by creating a new social media platform we are stepping into new territory where this cost per user on our platform is unpredictable during the early stages. Inspired by the art of Buddhist sand mandalas, we may remove non-essential media older than 2 months to manage these costs effectively. This practice encourages a fresh and dynamic exchange of music and ideas. We reserve the right to modify this timeframe as needed for operational efficiency. Don’t get too attached to past content, instead be connected to the present experience.

11. Return Policy

All our courses come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. For other products, please refer to the specific product page for terms related to returns and refunds where applicable. It’s important to note that monthly and annual subscriptions are non-refundable.

Thank you for choosing to explore the world of music with us. Together, we can make a significant impact through the universal language of music!
