Terms of Service
Last Updated: 5/6/2026
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using the Portland Fashion Institute (PFI) Workshop Hub, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any part of the terms, you may not access our services or physical facilities.
2. Workshop Passes & Physical Access
Digital QR passes generated by this system are strictly for the individual account holder. Passes may not be transferred, shared, or sold. PFI reserves the right to revoke physical building access or cancel digital passes due to policy violations, misconduct, or at the discretion of staff, without a refund.
Identity Verification & Anti-Fraud (Three-Strike System): To protect our community and prevent unauthorized pass sharing, students are required to upload a physical identification photo to their account. Our check-in system utilizes a strict Three-Strike Penalty mechanism during QR code scans. If a student's physical appearance does not correctly match their registered identification photo upon scanning, a strike is recorded. Accumulating three mismatch strikes will automatically and instantly suspend all digital passes associated with the account. Suspensions can only be overridden internally by an Administrator.
3. User Conduct
You agree to use our platform and physical facilities only for lawful purposes. Harassment, unauthorized access, bringing unapproved guests, or disrupting workshops will result in immediate termination of your account and passes.
4. Payment & Refund Policy
All workshop pass purchases are subject to PFI's formal refund policy. Billing is securely processed via Stripe. PFI does not store raw credit card data on this server. By purchasing a pass, you authorize our third-party processors to handle your transactions securely.
The 48-Hour Guarantee Rule
Users may systematically cancel their active pass registration seamlessly utilizing the dashboard interface at any time up to exactly 48 hours before the scheduled class start time natively earning a complete 100% refund structurally back to their core payload vector.
Any cancellations executing strictly within 48 hours of the class start time automatically forfeit mathematical refund eligibility seamlessly to respect instructor compensation constraints organically.
5. Account Termination
Admins have the capability to manually audit check-in history and reserve the right to securely terminate or delete accounts directly from the front desk Roster interface if these terms are breached. You also have the right to request permanent deletion of your account and personal data from your Dashboard.
