Free Access

Foundations is a free, interactive learning program that teaches design fundamentals through structured courses and hands-on challenges. An account is required to track progress and participate in challenges. Foundations content is provided at no cost and may be updated, modified, or discontinued at our discretion.

You may submit design work (images, links to design files) as part of Foundations challenges. By submitting, you agree that:

• Your submissions may be viewed and reviewed by other logged-in users
• Your first name will be displayed alongside your submissions
• You will not submit content that is offensive, infringing, or otherwise inappropriate

Community Peer Reviews

Foundations includes a peer review system where users can rate and provide written feedback on each other's submissions. When participating in peer reviews, you agree to:

• Provide constructive and respectful feedback
• Not use the review system to harass, spam, or abuse other users
• Not post inappropriate, offensive, or promotional content in reviews or comments

We reserve the right to remove any reviews, comments, or submissions that violate these guidelines. Users may report inappropriate content, and repeated violations may result in account suspension.

Progress Reset

You may reset your Foundations progress at any time. This permanently deletes all of your submissions, ratings received, and progress data. This action cannot be undone.

Lifetime Access

When you purchase a course, you receive lifetime access to that specific course content. This includes all current modules, lessons, and any future updates to that course.

Course Updates

We may update, modify, or improve course content at any time. These updates are included in your original purchase at no additional cost.

New Courses

New courses released after your purchase are separate products and require additional purchase, unless you have an active All Access Pass subscription.

What's Included

The All Access Pass (AAP) grants you access to all courses released during your subscription period. This includes:

• Immediate access to all currently available courses
• Access to new courses released during your subscription
• All course updates and improvements

Subscription Terms

The All Access Pass is a time-limited subscription. Once your subscription period ends, you retain permanent access to courses that were released during your active subscription period.

Service Description

Sprint Training is a 30-day personalized mentorship program where you receive video-based feedback on your design work from Gary Simon. The program includes:

• Multiple submission and feedback rounds over 30 days
• Personalized video feedback (typically 5-20+ minutes per response)
• Guaranteed 48-hour response time for each submission

Program Duration

Your 30-day sprint begins when you submit your first deliverable, not when you purchase. This allows you time to prepare your project before starting the clock.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions are handled one at a time. You must wait for feedback on your current submission before submitting new work. This ensures thorough, focused feedback on each iteration.

Our Content

All course content, including videos, text, graphics, code examples, design files, and other materials, is owned by ProfessionalsNow LLC and is protected by copyright law. Your purchase grants you a personal, non-transferable license to access and use the content for your own learning.

Your Work

You retain ownership of any original work you create while taking our courses or participating in Foundations challenges. By submitting work for Sprint Training feedback, you grant us permission to reference your work in the feedback videos (which are visible only to you). By submitting work to Foundations challenges, you grant us permission to display your submissions within the platform for peer review and community learning purposes.

• Violate these Terms of Service
• Share your account credentials with others
• Redistribute or resell our content
