My Training Atlas — School Terms and Conditions

MTA maintains a directory of martial arts schools and facilitates introductions between travelling practitioners and schools. MTA is an introduction service only. MTA is not present at visits, is not a party to any agreement between a school and a traveller, and takes no responsibility for what occurs during or after a visit.

By claiming your listing you confirm that:

• You are authorised to represent the school named in the listing
• The information provided is accurate to the best of your knowledge
• You will keep your listing up to date — particularly location, class schedule, visitor requirements, and mat fee
• You will notify MTA if your school closes permanently or temporarily by updating your listing or contacting claims@mytrainingatlas.com

A listing that has not been claimed is shown publicly as unverified, and its visitor-policy details (such as whether the school is accepting visitors, mat fee, and visitor requirements) are not displayed until the school claims the listing and confirms them. Claiming your listing is what allows you to set and confirm these details.

MTA reserves the right to remove or suspend a listing that contains materially inaccurate information.

Information on the platform is shown in tiers, according to who is viewing and the stage of any introduction. This protects both your school's operational details and your travellers' planning needs.

Visible to everyone, including non-registered visitors (for a claimed listing):

• School name, general location (locality and country), and country
• Instructor name
• Arts taught, lineage, and branch
• Class schedule
• Whether the school is accepting visitors, minimum rank, and mat fee
• Etiquette notes
• Year established, if provided

Visible to signed-in travellers:

• Social media links and website, if provided
• Precise location and map links
• Facilities and getting-here information (changing facilities, transport, parking, and journey/safety notes), where you have provided them

Visible only to a traveller with an approved introduction, as their visit approaches:

• Day-of contact details you have provided (such as a WhatsApp or LINE number), released only when an introduction is approved and the visit is near
• Precise arrival and building-finding instructions

For an unclaimed listing, none of the visitor-policy details above are displayed, and the listing is marked as unverified until claimed.

Never disclosed to travellers or the public:

• Your contact email address
• Your workspace access link
• Any internal platform flags or administrative notes

When a traveller requests an introduction at your school:

• You will receive a notification at your registered contact email
• You may approve or decline the request — no reason is required for a decline
• You are expected to respond within 30 days (a longer window may apply in some regions, for example 45 days for schools in Japan). Requests not responded to within the applicable window expire automatically, and the traveller's introduction credit is returned to them
• Approving an introduction is a commitment to receive the traveller on the agreed date. If you need to cancel an approved introduction, do so through your workspace as early as possible. When a school cancels or declines, the traveller's introduction credit is returned to them automatically

MTA makes no guarantee of introduction volume, traveller frequency, or traveller quality.

MTA cannot independently verify the identity, rank, lineage, or skill level of any traveller. Profile information, badges, and credentials displayed on the platform are self-reported or platform-linked only.

You retain full responsibility for:

• Assessing the traveller's suitability before and during their visit
• Declining any introduction you are not comfortable with
• Any decisions made at the door regarding participation in training

An Associated or Verified badge on a traveller's profile indicates only that the traveller has linked their profile to a claimed school listing on MTA. It is not an independent verification of rank or martial arts credentials.

Mat fees are set by the school and collected directly from the traveller. MTA has no role in the collection, processing, or dispute resolution of mat fees. The mat fee shown on your listing must accurately reflect what you will charge the traveller at the door.

MTA charges schools nothing. Travellers pay MTA for introduction credits. Mat fees are entirely separate from and unrelated to MTA's credit model.

MTA may occasionally feature schools in advertising and promotional material (for example, on the MTA website, in social media posts, in newsletters, or in printed material). Whether your school is featured is entirely up to you. All advertising permissions are off by default and are opt-in only. You can grant or withdraw each permission at any time from the Advertising permissions section of your workspace.

There are five separate permissions:

• Mention — permission to reference your school by name, location, and lineage in MTA advertising
• Imagery — permission to use imagery you have uploaded to your Advertising imagery area (separate from your photo gallery) in MTA advertising
• Reuse gallery — permission for MTA to also use photos from your existing traveller-facing photo gallery as a source for advertising imagery. Independent of Imagery: you can enable one, both, or neither
• Grouped — permission to include your school alongside other schools in grouped advertising (for example, city-wide or lineage-wide features). Grouped depends on Mention: if Mention is withdrawn, Grouped is automatically withdrawn at the same time
• Modifications — permission for MTA to modify your advertising imagery — for example by cropping, adding overlays, colour adjustments, or adding text and branding — rather than using it unchanged. Modifications depends on at least one image source (Imagery or Reuse gallery) being granted. If both sources are withdrawn, Modifications is automatically withdrawn at the same time

Each permission is recorded with a timestamp and the version of these terms in effect at the moment consent was given. Withdrawing a permission is immediate and applies to future use; MTA will make reasonable efforts to remove your school from materials already published, but cannot recall materials already distributed offline.

MTA will never use your school in advertising in a way that misrepresents your school, its lineage, its instructors, or its relationship with MTA.

What we hold:

• School name, location, contact email, instructor name, arts and lineage, class schedule, visitor settings, facilities and getting-here information, and social links you have provided
• Introduction records — who requested an introduction, when, and the outcome
• Workspace access tokens
• A record of your acceptance of these terms

How we use it:

• To display your listing in the directory
• To facilitate introduction requests
• To send you platform notifications and workspace access links
• To communicate changes to the platform or these terms

What we do not do with your data:

• We do not sell your data to any third party
• We do not share your contact email with travellers or any party outside MTA

Third party processors: Your data is processed using Base44 (platform infrastructure and hosting), Google Workspace / Gmail (email delivery), Google (geocoding and maps), and Stripe (payment processing for traveller credit purchases). Each operates under its own privacy policy.

Cross-border processing: MTA is operated from Australia and serves schools internationally. Your data may be processed and stored outside your country of residence, including in Australia and in the jurisdictions where our processors operate.

Data retention: Your school record is retained after removal from the directory to maintain the integrity of introduction history and prevent duplicate listings. Retained records are not publicly visible.

Your rights: To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, contact terms@mytrainingatlas.com. Deletion requests will be assessed against platform integrity requirements.

You agree not to:

• Use traveller contact information obtained through MTA for any purpose other than arranging an approved introduction visit
• Contact travellers outside the platform except to arrange the specific approved visit
• Manipulate the introduction or approval system
• Provide materially false information in your listing

You may remove your listing at any time from the Your Listing section of your workspace. On removal:

• Your listing is immediately hidden from all search results
• Any open introduction requests are cancelled and affected travellers are notified
• Their introduction credits are returned automatically
• Your school record is retained in the system for platform integrity — it will not appear in search results or be visible to the public

To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law, MTA is not liable for:

• Any injury, loss, or damage arising from a visit facilitated through the platform
• Any misrepresentation of identity, rank, or credentials by a traveller
• Any failure by a traveller to attend an approved introduction
• Any dispute between a school and a traveller regarding mat fees or training conduct
• Any interruption to or unavailability of the platform

MTA may update these terms from time to time. When terms are updated materially, MTA will notify you by email and may ask you to accept the updated terms. Your continued use of the workspace after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not accept the updated terms, you may remove your listing from your workspace.

These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia, Australia. Any dispute arising from these terms will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Western Australia.
