Social Media

We believe it is important for Members to have a place where they can communicate in a safe, moderated space. The official T45 Jiujitsu Facebook / instagram and discord are administrated and moderated by T45 Jiujitsu staff members.
The Academy and/or our Members have set up various group chats as a place for Members to communicate. These will be sign-posted to Members when they sign up. These group chats are community led and self-managed with all contributions from all parties being as members of the community, not as representatives of the Academy. Administrators are not officially appointed by the Academy and do not act in an official capacity. Members should be aware that the group chats are not monitored, moderated or policed in any way by T45 Jiujitsu Academy and that T45 Jiujitsu Academy cannot take responsibility for anything posted therein.
Members of Staff should not be contacted personally over social media regarding any matters at T45 Jiujitsu Academy. Any response from Members of Staff that does not come directly from info@t45jiujitsu.ie may not reflect the actual stance of T45 Jiujitsu Academy.
Our coaches will from time to time take photographs or videos of our classes. Files are kept on encrypted cloud storage, where only our staff have access. If, however, you do not wish you or your child to be photographed then you can make this known at any point of your Membership. If you wish to withdraw consent at any point then just let any Member of Staff know, or inform our safeguarding officer, Laura Power.
By default, as a Member/ Drop in / Parent of a Member of the gym you consent to you or your child/ward being occasionally photographed or videoed during a training session or social/competitive outings by one of our DBS certified staff. Furthermore, you consent to photographs/videos/materials/likenesses being used by the gym in promotional materials and social media posts
If you do not wish to have yourself or your child photographed during a training session or social/competitive outing then it is up to you to make this known, and we will strive to avoid catching you/them on photo or video.
We will not use children’s names in publicly displayed photograph captions without express consent. This will also apply to other potentially identifying data such as school uniforms.
If you do not wish to have you or your child’s likeness used for social media, promotional, or other purposes by the Academy then it is up to you to make this known, and we will avoid posting said likeness to social media, using it for advertisement or any other use you may object to

T45 Jiujitsu Academy does not take responsibility for any lost, stolen or damaged property or vehicles.

Membership Cancellation/Alteration

Memberships can be cancelled or altered by either email (info@t45jiujitsu.ie), Facebook message to the Academy page, or by requesting from one of the Members of Staff in person.
