My Training Atlas — Traveller 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 traveller and a school, and takes no responsibility for what occurs during or after a visit.

By creating an account you confirm that:

• You are a genuine martial arts practitioner
• The arts, lineage, rank, and experience you provide are honest and accurate to the best of your knowledge
• You will keep your profile up to date
• You are 18 years of age or older

MTA reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account that contains materially false information.

Purchasing credits: Credits are purchased via Stripe and are subject to Stripe's payment terms. All prices are in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Using credits: One credit is consumed per introduction request. Credits are consumed at the time of the request — not at the time of the visit.

Credit returns: A credit is returned automatically if:

• Your introduction request is declined by the school
• Your introduction request receives no response within 14 days
• The school you requested an introduction at does not claim their listing within 14 days
• Your introduction is cancelled by the school through the platform

Credits are returned to your MTA balance only. No cash refunds are issued under any circumstances.

First introduction: Your first introduction is free. No payment details are required for your first introduction.

Subscriptions: Subscription credits reset at annual renewal. Unused subscription credits do not roll over. Purchased credits never expire.

Credits on termination: If your account is suspended or terminated for conduct reasons, all remaining credits — both purchased and subscription — are forfeited immediately. No refund is available.

When you visit a school through My Training Atlas, you are a guest. The school has opened its doors based on your profile and the platform's introduction. The following standards apply at all times:

Respect the dojo-chō's authority: The chief instructor's word is final. Follow all instructions given by the instructor or senior students. If asked to leave, do so immediately and without dispute.

Arrive prepared: Arrive on time. Bring appropriate training attire. Pay the agreed mat fee at the door without dispute.

Represent yourself honestly: Train at the level your profile indicates. Do not overstate your rank or experience. If you are unsure whether a class is appropriate for your level, ask before participating.

Communicate if your plans change: If you cannot attend an approved introduction, cancel through the platform as early as possible. Silent non-attendance is recorded by the platform and affects your account standing.

Respect the school's culture: Every school has its own traditions, etiquette, and expectations. Observe and follow them. What is acceptable at your home dojo may not be acceptable elsewhere.

No disruptive behaviour: Behaviour that disrupts training, disrespects the instructor, or makes other students uncomfortable will result in conduct reports being filed against your account.

MTA operates a conduct monitoring system to protect the schools that open their doors to visiting practitioners.

How conduct reports are triggered:

• A dojo-chō reports an issue following your visit via the platform's post-visit feedback system
• You fail to attend an approved introduction without cancelling through the platform, and the dojo-chō confirms your non-attendance

What happens when a report is filed:

First report: You will receive a private etiquette reminder from MTA. Your account remains active. The school is not identified in the reminder.

Second report: Your account is suspended for review. All pending introduction requests are cancelled and your credits are returned. MTA will review your account within 5 business days and contact you at your registered email address.

Account termination: MTA reserves the right to terminate any account at its sole discretion. On termination:

• All remaining credits are forfeited immediately
• No refund is available for any reason
• All pending introductions are cancelled
• Affected schools are notified without disclosure of the reason for cancellation

Reactivation: A suspended account may be reactivated at MTA's discretion following review. A terminated account may only be reactivated by contacting terms@mytrainingatlas.com. MTA is not obligated to reactivate any account.

Failing to attend an approved introduction without cancelling through the platform is recorded as a no-show. A no-show is counted as a conduct report for the purposes of Section 6.

A no-show is recorded when:

• The dojo-chō confirms you did not attend, AND
• You confirm you did not attend, OR you do not respond to the platform's attendance confirmation within 48 hours

If you cannot attend, cancel through the platform as early as possible. Cancellation through the platform does not count as a no-show.

Your profile — including your arts, lineage, rank, and home school — is visible to schools when they receive your introduction request. Schools make decisions about whether to accept your introduction based on this information.

You are responsible for ensuring your profile is accurate. MTA does not independently verify rank or credentials. Deliberately misrepresenting your credentials to gain access to a school is a breach of these terms and may result in immediate account termination.

An Associated or Verified badge on your profile indicates platform-level linking to a claimed school listing only. It is not an independent verification of rank or martial arts credentials.

What we hold:

• Your name, email address, home city, arts, lineage, rank, and profile photo if provided
• Introduction records — which schools you requested introductions at, when, and the outcome
• Conduct records — conduct warnings and no-show count
• Credit and subscription records
• Training history

How we use it:

• To display your profile to schools when you request an introduction
• To facilitate introduction requests
• To send you platform notifications
• To monitor platform conduct standards

What we do not do:

• We do not sell your data to any third party

Data retention: Your account record is retained after termination to maintain the integrity of introduction history and conduct records. 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.

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 a school's facilities, instruction quality, or class content
• Any failure by a school to honour an approved introduction
• Any dispute between a traveller and a school regarding mat fees or training conduct
• Any interruption to or unavailability of the platform
• Any loss of credits due to account suspension or termination for conduct reasons

MTA may update these terms at any time. When terms are updated, MTA will notify you by email. Your continued use of the platform after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not accept the updated terms, you may stop using the platform and contact terms@mytrainingatlas.com to request account closure.

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.
