Use of Followly Services

Followly is an online Arts platform that connects hosts (workshop centers or individual craftspeople/artists) with skillful knowledge and experience of a particular workshop activity to learners seeking to receive these services.

The hosts lead arts experiences in their creative spaces. Followly is solely an online platform.

Main host will be handling the account with various teachers and workshops under them.

Through Followly services, the main host may create and manage their own individual profiles that provide consistent information about their knowledge and experiences or that of other teachers, including details of their workshops. They will have the ability to connect with potential learners with a keen interest in a particular Arts experience.

Workshops, teachers and host profiles can be added manually by the Followly team

Followly’s sole purpose is to facilitate the availability of workshops and to offer easy access to a platform that connects craftsmen with learners. Followly has no control over the conduct of the teachers and learners of the services or any experience offered through the workshop.

Accordingly, it is important to note that the planning or partaking of any workshop experiences and activities are at the teachers’ and learners’ own risk.

It is also important to note that we accept bookings internationally from learners (for example: a virtual experience). However, hosts are only limited to registering locally (In kuwait). The regulations of our current transactional system does not allow money transfer to occur from Followly to a host outside of Kuwait.
