THIRD-PARTY TERMS

5.1.

Third-Party Services. Community Owner may provide tools through the Community that enable integration with third-party platforms, add-ons, services, or products not provided by Community Owner ("Third-Party Services"). If you direct us to transmit data to, or receive data from, a Third-Party Service on your behalf (including by enabling the applicable integration in the settings of the Community), then you authorize us and Service Provider to collect, access, use, derive, disclose, generate, transfer, transmit, store, host, or otherwise process ("Process") any such data, including User Content (defined in 6.1 below), in connection with the applicable integration, in a manner consistent with the functionality of the Community requested by you and the permissions granted to Community Owner by the relevant integration (which Processing may include, without limitation, performing queries on the data held by the Third-Party Service).

5.2.

Third-Party Software. The Community may include or incorporate third-party software components that are generally available free of charge under licenses granting recipients broad rights to copy, modify, and distribute those components ("Third-Party Components"). Although the Community is provided to you subject to these Terms, nothing in these Terms prevents, restricts, or is intended to prevent or restrict you from obtaining Third-Party Components under the applicable third-party licenses or to limit your use of Third-Party Components under those third-party licenses.

USER CONDUCT

6.1.

User Content Generally. Certain features of the Community may permit users to submit, upload, publish, broadcast, or otherwise transmit ("Post") content to the Community, including messages, reviews, photos, video or audio (including sound or voice recordings and musical recordings embodied in the video or audio), images, folders, data, text, and any other works of authorship or other works ("User Content"). You retain any copyright and other proprietary rights that you may hold in the User Content that you Post to the Community, subject to the licenses granted in these Terms.

6.2.

Limited License Grant to Community Owner. By Posting User Content to or via the Community, you grant Community Owner and Service Provider a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid right and license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to host, store, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform (including by means of a digital audio transmission), communicate to the public, reproduce, modify for the purpose of formatting for display, create derivative works as authorized in these Terms, and distribute your User Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels, in each instance whether now known or hereafter developed. All of the rights you grant in these Terms are provided on a through-to-the-audience basis, meaning the owners or operators of external services will not have any separate liability to you or any other third party for User Content Posted or otherwise used on external services via the Community. You agree to pay all monies owing to any person or entity resulting from Posting your User Content and from Community Owner's or Service Provider's exercise of the license set forth in this Section.

6.3.

You Must Have Rights to the Content You Post; User Content Representations and Warranties. You must not Post User Content if you are not the owner of or are not fully authorized to grant rights in all of the elements of that User Content including in all ambient music and underlying musical works embodied in any sound recording. Community Owner disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Content. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of providing User Content via the Community. By providing User Content via the Community, you affirm, represent, and warrant to us that:

(a)

you are the Community Owner and owner of the User Content, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize Community Owner and users of the Community to use and distribute your User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by you in this Section, in the manner contemplated by Community Owner, Service Provider, the Community, and these Terms;

(b)

your User Content, and the Posting or other use of your User Content as contemplated by these Terms, does not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, misappropriate, or otherwise breach any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property, contract, or proprietary right; (ii) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or other property rights of any other person; or (iii) cause Community Owner or Service Provider to violate any law or regulation or require Community Owner or Service Provider to obtain any further licenses from or pay any royalties, fees, compensation or other amounts or provide any attribution to any third parties; and

(c)

your User Content could not be deemed by a reasonable person to be objectionable, profane, indecent, pornographic, harassing, threatening, embarrassing, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate.

6.4.

User Content Disclaimer. Community Owner and Service Provider are under no obligation to edit or control User Content that you or other users Post and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Content. Community Owner or Service Provider may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms, is alleged to violate the rights of third parties, or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that, when using the Community, you will be exposed to User Content from a variety of sources and acknowledge that User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against Community Owner or Service Provider with respect to User Content. If notified by a user or content owner that User Content allegedly does not conform to these Terms, Community Owner may (or may permit Service Provider to) investigate the allegation and determine whether to remove the User Content, which Community Owner and Service Provider reserve the right to do at any time, without notice, and for any reason. For clarity, Community Owner does not permit infringing activities on the Community.

6.5.

Monitoring Content. Community Owner and Service Provider do not control and do not have any obligation to monitor: (a) User Content; (b) any content made available by third parties; or (c) the use of the Community by its users. You acknowledge and agree that Community Owner and Service Provider reserve the right to, and may from time to time, monitor any and all information transmitted or received through the Community for operational and other purposes. If at any time Community Owner or Service Provider choose to monitor the content, then Community Owner and Service Provider still assume no responsibility or liability for content or any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of content. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used in accordance with Community Owner's Privacy Policy. Community Owner and Service Provider may block, filter, mute, remove or disable access to any User Content uploaded to or transmitted through the Community without any liability to the user who Posted such User Content to the Community or to any other users of the Community.

6.6.

Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation. Community Owner and Service Provider prohibit any sexual content or suggestive content, and predatory or inappropriate behavior involving minors (i.e. users under 18 years old) or someone who appears to be a minor. This includes sharing, offering, or asking for child exploitation content, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). If you are unsure about a piece of content involving a minor, do not share it. To report sexual, suggestive, or inappropriate behavior minors, you can use the in-line report feature on the website or app. When child sexual exploitation content is identified, the violative content is removed as soon as possible and the related account is banned. If Community Owner and Service Provider confirm the presence of CSAM, we take the steps required by law to preserve and refer the relevant content to appropriate authorities. In the United States, federal law requires that U.S.-based electronic service providers report instances of apparent CSAM to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). NCMEC coordinates reports with global law enforcement agencies in over 120 countries through its partner organization, the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

13.

DISCLAIMERS; NO WARRANTIES BY COMMUNITY OWNER

13.1.

THE COMMUNITY AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND ON AN "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. COMMUNITY OWNER AND SERVICE PROVIDER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE COMMUNITY AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING: (a) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (b) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. COMMUNITY OWNER AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDER DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE COMMUNITY OR ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE COMMUNITY, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND COMMUNITY OWNER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED.

13.2.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE COMMUNITY, SPECIFIED ENTITIES, OR SERVICE PROVIDER, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE SPECIFIED ENTITIES OR THE COMMUNITY THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE COMMUNITY AND YOUR DEALING WITH ANY OTHER COMMUNITY USER. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNITY) OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, INCLUDING USER CONTENT.

13.3.

THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 13 (DISCLAIMERS; NO WARRANTIES BY COMMUNITY OWNER) APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Community Owner does not disclaim any warranty or other right that Community Owner is prohibited from disclaiming under applicable law.

14.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

14.1.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE SPECIFIED ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE COMMUNITY OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE COMMUNITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY SPECIFIED ENTITY OR SERVICE PROVIDER HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.

14.2.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 15.5 (COMMENCING ARBITRATION) AND 15.7 (ARBITRATION RELIEF) AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE SPECIFIED ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO COMMUNITY OWNER FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) US$100.

14.3.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU AND COMMUNITY OWNER AGREE THAT SERVICE PROVIDER IS NOT A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SERVICE PROVIDER WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU BRING A CLAIM AGAINST SERVICE PROVIDER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN SECTION 15, AND SERVICE PROVIDER WILL BE DEEMED SUBSTITUTED FOR COMMUNITY OWNER THEREUNDER SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH CLAIM.

14.4.

EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

15.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

15.1.

Generally. Except as described in Section 15.2 (Exceptions) and 15.3 (Opt-Out), you and Community Owner agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Community, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND COMMUNITY OWNER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

15.2.

Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

15.3.

Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 15 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Breakthrough, Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 40 chalk Road, Gravesend, Kent, UK, DA12 4UY that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Community, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration ("Opt-Out Notice"). Once Community Owner receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 15 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 16.3 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

15.4.

Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the JAMS under the rules applicable to consumer disputes (collectively, "JAMS Rules") as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.com, by calling the JAMS at +1-800-352-5267 or by contacting Community Owner.

15.5.

Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice of Arbitration"). Community Owner's address for Notice is: Breakthrough, 40 chalk Road, Gravesend, Kent, UK, DA12 4UY. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Community Owner may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Community Owner will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if Community Owner has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the JAMS Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to JAMS.

15.6.

Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your residence unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules in the county (or parish) of your residence. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Community Owner must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.

15.7.

Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 15.8 (No Class Actions), the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Community Owner before an arbitrator was selected, Community Owner will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

15.8.

No Class Actions. YOU AND COMMUNITY OWNER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Community Owner agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

15.9.

Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Community Owner makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Community Owner's address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Community Owner will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

15.10.

Enforceability. If Section 15.8 (No Class Actions) or the entirety of this Section 15 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable, or if Community Owner receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 15 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 16.3 (Governing Law) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

16.

MISCELLANEOUS

16.1.

Third-Party Beneficiary. The Community is powered by a technology platform provided by CircleCo, Inc. ("Service Provider"). You and we acknowledge and agree that (a) Service Provider is an intended third-party beneficiary to these Terms, (b) is entitled to rights and benefits hereunder, and (c) may enforce these Terms against you as if it were an original party hereto.

16.2.

General Terms. These Terms, including the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Community Owner regarding your use of the Community. These Terms or any rights under these Terms, may not be assigned either by us or by you in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our Service Provider's prior written consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.

Exhibit A: Additional Terms

EXHIBIT A – BREAKTHROUGH MEMBERSHIP TERMS

Last updated: 25 August 2026

These Breakthrough Membership Terms (“Breakthrough Terms”) supplement the platform terms presented to you when you create an account, purchase a membership or use the Breakthrough community.

These Breakthrough Terms govern the contractual relationship between you and Breakthrough Actors Ltd in relation to your Breakthrough membership, including masterclasses, community access, online workshops and in-person events.

Where a third-party platform has its own terms governing the technical use of that platform, those terms may also apply to your use of that platform. These Breakthrough Terms govern the membership, services and benefits supplied to you by Breakthrough.

Please read these Breakthrough Terms carefully before purchasing a membership.

By purchasing a Breakthrough membership and accepting the applicable Terms at checkout, you agree to these Breakthrough Terms.

1. About Breakthrough

Breakthrough is operated by:

Breakthrough Actors LtdCompany number: 16452003Registered office: 40 Chalk Road, Gravesend, Kent, England, DA12 4UYEmail: info@breakthroughactors.com

In these Terms, “Breakthrough”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Breakthrough Actors Ltd.

“You”, “your” and “member” mean the person purchasing or using a Breakthrough membership.

2. Who can join

You must be aged 18 or over to purchase or use a Breakthrough membership.

Membership is personal to you. You must not:

share your account or login details with another person;
allow another person to access member-only content using your account;
transfer your membership, workshop place or event booking unless we expressly agree otherwise; or
create additional accounts to obtain benefits beyond those included with your membership.

You are responsible for keeping your account information and login details secure and for keeping your contact information up to date.

3. The Breakthrough membership

Breakthrough is a career-development membership for actors.

Depending on your membership level, it may include:

online masterclasses and learning materials;
access to the Breakthrough member community;
online workshops, Q&As, presentations or other online sessions; and
in-person Breakthrough events.

The specific benefits included in each membership level are those clearly advertised on our website and at checkout when you subscribe.

3.1 Core

Core membership includes access to:

the Breakthrough masterclass offering advertised as included with Core, including the 32-part Getting Cast masterclass with casting director Tree Petts; and
the Breakthrough member community.

Additional masterclasses, resources or content may be added over time. Unless expressly advertised as a guaranteed part of your membership, additional content is not guaranteed to remain available indefinitely.

We may update, reorganise or reformat learning content where reasonably necessary.

If a benefit specifically guaranteed as part of your membership were to be materially and permanently removed, we would act reasonably and provide any remedy required by applicable consumer law.

3.2 Guided

Guided membership includes the benefits of Core plus access to Breakthrough’s monthly online workshop programme.

Breakthrough intends to provide one designated online workshop, Q&A, presentation or similar online learning session during each calendar month.

The precise format may vary.

Sessions may include:

practical workshops;
presentations;
demonstrations;
Q&As;
case studies;
member examples;
group discussion; or
other appropriate learning formats.

Some sessions may be highly interactive while others may be primarily led by the speaker or host.

We will act in good faith to make sessions useful, relevant and engaging, but membership does not guarantee that you will personally:

speak during a session;
appear on screen;
ask a question;
have your materials reviewed;
receive individual feedback; or
participate directly in an exercise.

3.3 Live Access

Live Access includes the benefits of Guided plus access to Breakthrough’s monthly in-person event programme.

Breakthrough intends to provide one designated in-person event during each calendar month. These events will normally take place in London unless otherwise clearly advertised.

Events may include, for example:

panels;
Q&As;
industry conversations;
demonstrations;
networking events;
screenings;
workshops; or
other professional-development formats.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Live Access includes one designated Breakthrough in-person event per calendar month, rather than unlimited admission to every physical event Breakthrough may organise.

4. Calendar-month benefits and billing periods

Breakthrough’s online workshop and Live Event programmes operate by calendar month.

They are not stored credits attached individually to each subscription payment.

Your personal billing date will depend on when you joined. Because members have different billing dates, your paid billing period may overlap parts of two calendar months.

This does not create:

stored workshop or event credits;
a right to carry unused benefits into a later month;
a cash value for a missed workshop or event; or
an entitlement to an additional workshop or event because you did not attend an earlier one.

You should review the published upcoming programme when deciding whether to join or remain subscribed.

Where unusual scheduling circumstances create a result that appears genuinely unfair, please contact info@breakthroughactors.com. We will consider the circumstances reasonably and in good faith.

Nothing in this clause affects your statutory consumer rights.

5. Prices, payment and what your membership fee covers

5.1 You will pay the membership price clearly shown to you at checkout.

5.2 We do not need to amend these Terms whenever our prices change. The price applicable to your membership is the price presented to you at checkout or, in the case of an existing member whose recurring price is changed, the price notified to you in accordance with clause 10.

5.3 The price shown at checkout will be the total consumer price payable for that billing period, including any taxes that we are legally required to include.

5.4 Membership fees are charged in advance.

5.5 Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers used by Breakthrough or our membership platform.

5.1 What your payment purchases

5.6 Each membership payment purchases the right to access and use the benefits made available to your membership level during the applicable paid membership period, subject to these Terms.

5.7 Your membership fee is charged for the availability of the relevant membership benefits during your paid membership period. It is not calculated according to the amount of the membership that you personally use.

5.8 In particular, the amount you pay does not depend on:

how many masterclasses, videos or learning materials you watch or access;
how frequently you use the Breakthrough community;
whether you post, ask questions or otherwise participate in the community;
whether you attend an available online workshop or session;
whether you RSVP for or attend an available in-person event; or
how much individual value you obtain from the membership.

5.9 Choosing not to use, or making limited use of, membership benefits that remained available to you does not by itself entitle you to a refund, credit, extension or reduction in the membership fee.

5.10 Nothing in this clause affects any statutory rights or remedies you may have where Breakthrough fails to provide a paid-for benefit, a service or digital content does not conform to applicable legal requirements, or applicable law otherwise requires a refund, price reduction or other remedy.

6. Automatic monthly renewal

6.1 Breakthrough memberships are monthly recurring subscriptions unless a different arrangement is expressly stated to you at checkout before purchase.

6.2 Your membership will automatically renew at the beginning of each new billing period and payment will be taken on or around your recurring billing date until you cancel.

6.3 Each successful renewal payment purchases access to your applicable membership benefits for the new paid billing period.

6.4 There is no minimum subscription term unless a different minimum term is expressly stated to you before purchase.

6.5 You are responsible for cancelling your membership before the next recurring payment becomes due if you do not wish your membership to renew for another billing period.

6.6 Nothing in this clause affects any reminder, cancellation or renewal rights which applicable law requires us to provide.

7. Cancelling your membership and future renewal

7.1 You may cancel your recurring membership at any time using the cancellation functionality made available through the membership platform.

7.2 Ordinary cancellation of your membership operates prospectively. It stops future automatic renewal but does not retrospectively cancel a billing period which has already begun.

7.3 Unless applicable law requires otherwise:

cancellation prevents the next recurring membership payment, provided cancellation is completed before that payment becomes due;
you retain access to the membership until the end of the billing period for which you have already paid;
your membership then expires;
there is no cancellation fee; and
cancelling during an already-paid billing period does not by itself create an entitlement to a full or proportionate refund of that billing period.

7.4 For example, if you cancel part-way through a monthly billing period, you will normally continue to have access until the end of that paid billing period. You will not normally receive a refund for the unused portion simply because you chose to cancel before the paid period ended.

7.5 If you stop using your membership after cancelling, this does not change the position described above. Breakthrough has still made the relevant membership access available to you for the remainder of your paid period.

7.6 If you experience a technical problem which prevents you from cancelling through the membership platform, contact info@breakthroughactors.com as soon as reasonably possible.

7.7 Where there is reasonable evidence that you attempted to cancel before a recurring payment became due but were prevented from doing so by a technical problem for which Breakthrough or its membership platform was responsible, we will investigate the circumstances reasonably and provide any correction, refund or other remedy which is appropriate or required by law.

7.8 This clause deals with ordinary cancellation of future recurring membership payments. It does not restrict any separate statutory cancellation right or other legal remedy which may apply.

8. Statutory 14-day cancellation rights and immediate access

8.1 Your statutory rights

8.1 Nothing in these Terms removes or restricts any statutory cancellation, refund or consumer right which applicable law does not permit us to exclude or restrict.

8.2 If you purchase a Breakthrough membership as a consumer through our website or another distance-selling process, you may have a statutory right to cancel the contract during an initial 14-day cancellation period.

8.3 Breakthrough memberships contain a combination of:

digital content, including streamed or otherwise electronically supplied masterclasses, videos and learning materials; and
ongoing membership services, which may include community access, online workshops, presentations, Q&As, events and administration of your membership.

8.4 Different statutory cancellation rules may apply to the digital-content and service elements of your membership.

8.2 Immediate commencement of membership

8.5 Breakthrough memberships are designed to begin immediately after purchase. We do not normally delay the commencement of your membership until the end of any statutory cancellation period.

8.6 By purchasing a Breakthrough membership and confirming your agreement to these Terms at checkout, you request that Breakthrough begins providing your membership and membership services immediately rather than waiting until the end of any applicable statutory cancellation period.

8.7 Where applicable law requires an express request before services may begin during a statutory cancellation period, clause 8.6 records the request which you make when purchasing the membership and agreeing to these Terms, to the extent that applicable law permits that request to be made in this way.

8.3 Immediate supply of digital content

8.8 Your membership may provide immediate access to digital content, including Breakthrough masterclasses, videos and learning materials.

8.9 By purchasing your membership and confirming your agreement to these Terms at checkout, you expressly request and consent to Breakthrough making that digital content available to you immediately rather than waiting until the end of any applicable statutory cancellation period.

8.10 You acknowledge and understand that, where the requirements of applicable law are satisfied, beginning the supply of digital content during the statutory cancellation period following your express consent may result in your statutory right to cancel in relation to that digital content being lost once supply begins.

8.11 You therefore acknowledge that accessing, opening, streaming, playing or otherwise using digital masterclass content after purchase may have consequences for any statutory cancellation right applying to that digital content.

8.12 Nothing in clauses 8.8 to 8.11 will be interpreted as removing a statutory cancellation right where the requirements imposed by applicable law for the loss of that right have not been satisfied.

8.4 Services supplied during the cancellation period

8.13 Where you have requested that membership services begin immediately during a statutory cancellation period and you subsequently exercise a valid statutory cancellation right which remains available to you, Breakthrough may be entitled to retain or charge an amount reflecting services already supplied before you informed us of your cancellation, where and to the extent permitted by applicable law.

8.14 Any amount retained or charged under clause 8.13 will not exceed the amount which applicable law permits Breakthrough to retain or charge.

8.15 Use of membership services may include, where relevant, access to or participation in the Breakthrough community, online workshops, Q&As, presentations, events or other service benefits supplied before cancellation.

8.5 Exercising a statutory cancellation right

8.16 If a statutory cancellation right remains available to you and you wish to exercise it, you must clearly inform us of your decision to cancel within the applicable cancellation period.

8.17 You may do this by emailing:

info@breakthroughactors.com

8.18 You may also use the model cancellation form at the end of these Terms, although you do not have to use that form.

8.19 Where you validly exercise a statutory cancellation right, Breakthrough will provide any refund required by applicable law within the legally required period, subject to any deduction, proportionate payment or other amount which Breakthrough is legally entitled to retain or charge.

8.20 If the legally required request, consent, acknowledgement, information or confirmation has not been obtained or provided, your statutory rights remain unaffected.

9. Refund policy

9.1 General rule

9.1 Except where:

you validly exercise a statutory cancellation right which remains available to you;
Breakthrough is required by law to provide a refund, price reduction or other monetary remedy;
these Terms expressly provide otherwise; or
Breakthrough chooses to provide a goodwill remedy under clause 9.6,

membership payments are non-refundable once the applicable paid billing period has begun.

9.2 Cancelling your membership ordinarily prevents future recurring payments. It does not ordinarily reverse or refund a membership period which you have already purchased and which remains available to you.

9.2 Non-use does not create a refund entitlement

9.3 Subject to your statutory rights, a refund, credit, extension or replacement membership period is not automatically due merely because you:

change your mind after any applicable statutory cancellation right has expired or ceased to apply;
cancel future renewal part-way through an already-paid billing period;
stop using the membership before the end of your paid billing period;
do not watch some or all available masterclasses;
watch only part of a masterclass or learning programme;
make limited or no use of the masterclass library;
make limited or no use of the Breakthrough community;
do not post, participate or ask questions in the community;
miss an online workshop, Q&A, presentation or other session;
fail to RSVP for an event;
cancel an event RSVP;
do not attend an event;
arrive too late to be admitted to an event; or
otherwise make less use of the membership than you expected.

9.4 This is because your membership fee purchases access to the relevant membership benefits during your paid membership period rather than payment being calculated according to your individual level of consumption or participation.

9.3 Problems with the membership

9.5 Nothing in this refund policy affects your statutory rights where:

a service is not provided with the standard required by applicable law;
digital content does not meet requirements imposed by applicable law;
a material advertised membership benefit is not provided;
Breakthrough materially breaches its contract with you; or
applicable consumer law otherwise entitles you to a refund, price reduction, repeat performance or other remedy.

9.4 Goodwill refunds

9.6 Breakthrough wants to operate fairly and may, at its discretion, provide a full refund, partial refund, account credit, extension or other goodwill remedy where this goes beyond the member's statutory or contractual rights.

9.7 For example, we may choose to provide a goodwill refund where someone contacts us shortly after making an accidental purchase and has made little or no use of the membership.

9.8 Any goodwill decision:

will be considered individually;
does not create an automatic entitlement for another member;
does not establish a precedent requiring us to make the same decision in another case; and
does not limit or replace any statutory rights which a member may have.

10. Price changes

We may change the price charged to new members at any time.

If we increase the recurring price payable by an existing member, we will normally provide at least 30 days’ notice before the increased price is charged.

A price increase will never retrospectively change the price of a billing period you have already paid for.

If you do not wish to continue at the new price, you may cancel before the first renewal to which the increased price applies.

11. Upgrading and downgrading

You may be able to change membership level using the functionality available through Breakthrough or our membership platform.

Some membership levels may have limited capacity.

An upgrade to Guided or Live Access is therefore subject to availability and we do not guarantee that a higher membership level will always be open to new members or upgrades.

Any price and billing consequences of changing plan should be shown to you before you confirm the change.

12. Online workshops

Where an online workshop or session is included with your membership:

you must have the appropriate active membership at the time of the session;
you may be asked to RSVP in advance;
session dates and times are those published by Breakthrough;
the speaker, subject emphasis, format and duration may reasonably change;
missing a session does not create a refund, credit or rollover entitlement; and
access is personal and must not be shared with non-members.

Breakthrough may change the date, speaker, format or focus of a session where reasonably necessary.

A change of speaker, reasonable scheduling change, change in session format or change in emphasis does not by itself create an automatic refund entitlement.

If we cannot provide a material advertised membership benefit at all, we will act reasonably to reschedule it, provide an appropriate replacement or provide any remedy required by applicable consumer law.

We may record online sessions.

Unless we expressly promise otherwise for a particular session, a replay is not guaranteed and recordings may be made available for a limited period, indefinitely or not at all.

13. In-person Live Events

Live Events are available only to members with the appropriate membership level.

13.1 RSVP requirement

You must RSVP where an event requires advance booking.

Your membership alone does not automatically reserve a physical place.

A confirmed RSVP may be required for entry.

We may use the confirmed RSVP list as the final guest list and may ask you to provide your name or reasonable evidence of identity or membership on arrival.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

bookings are personal;
bookings cannot be transferred;
guests are not included; and
you must not reserve a place for another person.

13.2 Active membership on the event date

A future RSVP does not extend your membership.

You must normally have an active Live Access membership on the date of the event in order to attend.

If your membership expires before an event you have booked, we may cancel your RSVP and release your place.

If you have cancelled future renewal but your already-paid membership remains active on the event date, you remain eligible to attend.

13.3 Missed events

If you:

choose not to attend;
fail to RSVP;
cancel your RSVP;
arrive too late to be admitted; or
fail to attend for any other reason outside Breakthrough’s responsibility,

the unused event does not:

roll over;
create an event credit;
entitle you to another month’s event; or
create an automatic refund.

13.4 Event changes

Dates, timings, venues, speakers and formats may sometimes need to change.

Breakthrough may make reasonable changes for operational, availability, safety, venue, speaker or other legitimate reasons.

We will act in good faith to preserve the substance and value of an event wherever reasonably possible.

A change of speaker, venue within the same general area, reasonable change of date or time, or reasonable adjustment to format does not by itself create an automatic refund entitlement.

Where a change is materially significant, your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

13.5 Event cancellation

If Breakthrough cancels a material Live Access event, our first preference will normally be to:

reschedule it; or
provide an appropriate replacement.

If we cannot reasonably provide the advertised benefit, we will provide any remedy required by applicable consumer law.

Where Breakthrough voluntarily offers compensation beyond legal requirements, we may calculate that goodwill refund or credit by reference to the incremental price paid for the affected higher-tier benefit rather than refunding the whole membership fee.

This does not limit any greater remedy required by law.

13.6 Venue rules and behaviour

You must comply with:

reasonable instructions from Breakthrough staff;
venue rules;
health and safety requirements; and
applicable law.

Venues may separately refuse entry or service where reasonably permitted, including for safety, intoxication or serious behavioural concerns.

Where accessibility adjustments may be needed, please contact us as early as reasonably possible and we will make reasonable efforts to assist.

14. Fair use and abuse of membership

Breakthrough is designed for genuine individual membership use.

You must not deliberately:

exploit technical errors;
create duplicate accounts;
share restricted links or content;
manipulate access controls;
impersonate another member;
circumvent membership restrictions; or
obtain benefits which you know you are not entitled to receive.

We may take reasonable and proportionate action where there is clear evidence of deliberate abuse.

Ordinary use of your lawful cancellation rights, or an incidental difference between a billing date and an event date, is not by itself misconduct.

15. Community rules

Breakthrough is intended to provide a professional and constructive environment.

You must not use the community, workshops or events to:

harass, threaten, bully or intimidate another person;
discriminate unlawfully;
engage in hate speech;
sexually harass another member or contributor;
deliberately disrupt sessions or community spaces;
impersonate another person;
spam members;
conduct unsolicited mass promotion or solicitation;
publish unlawful content;
knowingly publish malicious or seriously misleading material;
scrape or harvest member information;
misuse another person’s private information; or
behave in a way that materially damages other members’ ability to use Breakthrough safely and constructively.

Professional disagreement and respectful criticism are permitted.

16. Moderation and restrictions

We may moderate community content and activity.

Where reasonably necessary, we may:

remove or edit content;
close discussions;
restrict posting privileges;
restrict community access;
restrict event participation;
issue warnings;
temporarily suspend an account; or
terminate membership.

We will normally take proportionate action having regard to the seriousness of the situation.

Serious misconduct, harassment, threats, deliberate abuse of the platform, safety issues or significant breaches of these Terms may justify immediate suspension or termination without a prior warning.

Community access may therefore be restricted even where the member continues to retain access to other membership benefits, where proportionate and appropriate.

17. Suspension or termination by Breakthrough

We may suspend or terminate your membership where you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms.

Where appropriate, we will explain the reason and give you an opportunity to respond.

For serious breaches we may act immediately.

If we terminate your membership for serious misconduct or deliberate breach, refunds are not automatically due, subject always to applicable consumer law.

If Breakthrough ends an otherwise compliant member’s paid membership for our own convenience, we will provide an appropriate refund for paid access that we do not provide.

18. Speakers, contributors and professional opinions

Breakthrough brings members into contact with actors, casting directors, agents, producers, directors and other industry professionals.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

contributors speak from their own knowledge, experience and perspective;
their opinions are their own;
their participation does not mean Breakthrough endorses every statement they make; and
different industry professionals may reasonably disagree.

Breakthrough facilitates professional education, discussion and access to industry perspectives. It is not a definitive authority on every aspect of the acting profession.

Information provided through Breakthrough may become outdated, may not apply to your circumstances and may contain opinions rather than objective facts.

You remain responsible for decisions you make about your career.

19. No guarantee of career outcomes

Breakthrough does not guarantee:

auditions;
callbacks;
casting;
representation;
meetings;
introductions;
employment;
earnings;
career progression;
entry into Spotlight or any other platform;
selection by an agent, casting director, producer or employer; or
any particular professional result.

Participation in a Breakthrough event or workshop does not give you preferential treatment from any speaker, casting director, agent or other industry professional.

Speakers and contributors are under no obligation to consider, represent, cast, contact or employ members.

20. Breakthrough is not your professional adviser or representative

Unless we expressly enter into a separate written agreement with you, Breakthrough does not act as your:

talent agent;
manager;
employment agent;
lawyer;
accountant;
tax adviser;
financial adviser; or
regulated professional adviser.

Any general discussion of contracts, money, tax, legal issues, career strategy or similar topics is educational only.

You should obtain appropriate specialist advice where your individual circumstances require it.

21. Intellectual property

The Breakthrough platform and its member-only materials may include intellectual property belonging to Breakthrough and/or individual contributors.

Your membership gives you a personal, limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access membership materials for your own private learning while your access remains valid.

You must not, without written permission:

copy or reproduce substantial course material;
redistribute materials;
republish videos;
screen-record sessions;
download content where downloading is not expressly enabled;
share member-only links;
sell or commercially exploit materials;
upload Breakthrough content to another platform;
use our content to create a competing course, service or resource; or
remove copyright or ownership notices.

All intellectual-property rights not expressly granted to you remain with their respective owners.

22. Member content

You retain ownership of original material you post to the Breakthrough community.

By posting content, you give Breakthrough a non-exclusive licence to host, display, reproduce as technically necessary and moderate that content for the purpose of operating the membership and community.

This licence ends when the content is removed from the service, except to the extent copies reasonably remain in backups, records or existing discussion context.

You must only upload content you have the right to share.

23. Confidentiality, screenshots and recording

Breakthrough sessions may involve candid professional discussion.

Members must not secretly record workshops, events, private community discussions or other members.

You must not republish private member-only discussions outside Breakthrough in a way that identifies a contributor without appropriate permission.

Where a speaker or host expressly identifies information as confidential or off the record, you must respect that instruction.

This does not prevent you from making ordinary personal notes for your own use.

24. Breakthrough recordings

We may record certain online workshops, talks or events.

If you voluntarily speak, appear on camera, ask a question or otherwise participate in a recorded session, your contribution may be captured as part of that recording.

Where appropriate, we will inform attendees that a session is being recorded.

Recordings may be used within Breakthrough for member learning and operational purposes.

We will seek separate appropriate permission before using an identifiable member as the focus of a commercial testimonial, advert or promotional interview where required.

25. Photography and filming at events

Breakthrough events may be photographed or filmed for purposes including:

documenting events;
communicating with members;
promoting Breakthrough;
social media;
website content; and
other legitimate business communications.

We will make reasonable efforts to make attendees aware where event photography or filming is taking place.

If you do not wish to be prominently identifiable in photography or filming, please tell us before the event and notify a member of the Breakthrough team when you arrive. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this.

Because Breakthrough events are group environments, we cannot guarantee that you will never appear incidentally in background or crowd footage.

How we process personal data, including photographs and video, is explained further in our Privacy Policy.

26. Third-party services

Breakthrough currently relies on third-party services to provide parts of the membership, which may include:

community and membership platforms;
payment processors;
video-streaming services;
email services;
event venues; and
other technology providers.

Those services may occasionally experience downtime, technical issues or changes outside our reasonable control.

Breakthrough will take reasonable steps to provide the membership service and resolve material problems within our control.

Nothing in this clause removes any obligation we have to provide services with reasonable care and skill or any other statutory consumer right.

27. Service availability

We do not guarantee uninterrupted 24-hour availability of every element of the membership.

Reasonable maintenance, technical failure, security incidents, platform outages and circumstances outside our reasonable control may temporarily affect availability.

Where a material paid benefit is disrupted, we will act reasonably to restore it, reschedule it or provide an appropriate alternative.

28. Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

This includes liability that cannot legally be excluded for matters such as:

death or personal injury caused by negligence;
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
your statutory consumer rights.

Breakthrough is responsible for losses that are a foreseeable consequence of our breach of contract or failure to exercise reasonable care and skill where the law makes us responsible.

We are not responsible for losses which:

were not reasonably foreseeable;
were caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control;
result solely from decisions you make based on the personal opinions or experiences of independent contributors;
result from your failure to follow reasonable instructions; or
arise from commercial or professional activities undertaken independently by you.

Nothing in these Terms prevents you from exercising rights available to you under consumer law.

29. Privacy

We process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Our Privacy Policy is separate from these Terms and explains, among other things, how we use account information, payment-related information, communications, community activity, photographs and other personal data.

Where our website uses cookies or similar tracking technologies, these are addressed through our Cookie Policy and/or cookie-consent system as required.

30. Communications

We may send important membership communications to the email address associated with your account.

These may include:

payment information;
event information;
workshop information;
service notices;
changes to your membership;
changes to these Terms;
price changes;
security notices; and
cancellation confirmations.

You are responsible for keeping your email address current and checking communications relating to your membership.

31. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms for legitimate reasons, including:

changes in law or regulation;
changes to Breakthrough’s services;
changes to technology or third-party platforms;
security requirements;
clarification of existing provisions; or
reasonable operational changes.

We will not use this right to make arbitrary changes that fundamentally remove consumer rights or materially change the bargain without appropriate notice or remedy.

Where a change materially disadvantages existing members, we will normally provide reasonable advance notice.

Where appropriate, you may cancel before the change takes effect.

Urgent changes required for legal, security or regulatory reasons may take effect sooner where reasonably necessary.

32. Complaints and good-faith resolution

Our aim is for Breakthrough members to receive exceptional value and to be treated fairly.

We also need to protect the community and business from deliberate misuse.

If you believe these Terms or the normal operation of the membership have produced an unfair result in your particular circumstances, please contact:

info@breakthroughactors.com

We will consider genuine concerns reasonably and in good faith.

We may provide an individual remedy where we consider that fair and appropriate.

This good-faith policy is additional to, and does not replace, any statutory consumer rights you have.

33. Events outside our reasonable control

We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by circumstances genuinely outside our reasonable control, such as:

serious venue failure;
severe weather;
transport disruption;
illness or sudden unavailability of a speaker;
widespread technology failure;
government restrictions;
emergencies; or
other comparable events.

Where this affects a material membership benefit, we will take reasonable steps to reschedule, replace or otherwise address the affected service.

Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

34. Legacy and historic memberships

These Terms primarily govern current Breakthrough recurring memberships.

Members who purchased earlier lifetime products, founding memberships, historic annual subscriptions or other legacy arrangements may have separate rights arising from the terms and representations applicable when they purchased.

Nothing in these Terms is intended retrospectively to remove rights already granted under an earlier agreement.

35. General legal terms

If any part of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

If we delay enforcing a right under these Terms, that does not mean we have permanently waived that right.

You may not transfer your membership contract to another person without our agreement.

We may transfer our rights and obligations to another organisation as part of a legitimate restructuring, sale or transfer of the Breakthrough business, provided doing so does not reduce your consumer rights. We will notify you where reasonably required.

These Terms, together with information we are legally required to treat as part of the contract and any specific terms clearly presented at checkout, form the agreement between you and Breakthrough in relation to your membership.

36. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you retain any mandatory consumer protections and rights to bring proceedings in the courts available to you under applicable law.
