These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of The Hobby Guy Workshop (the “Workshop”), operated by The Louisiana Hobby Guy, LLC (“LHG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Workshop, creating an account, participating in a beta program, or uploading content, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Workshop.
You must be legally capable of agreeing to these Terms. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you may use the Workshop only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
You are responsible for providing accurate account information, protecting your password and login credentials, and for activity conducted through your account. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
The Workshop is provided for lawful laser-making, project documentation, education, collaboration, testing, and related maker activities. You may not use the Workshop to:
We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts when reasonably necessary to protect users, the Workshop, LHG, or third parties.
You retain ownership of original content that you upload or create, including project descriptions, photographs, artwork, designs, machine files, project files, comments, and other materials (collectively, “User Content”). Uploading User Content does not transfer your copyright or other ownership rights to LHG.
You grant LHG a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, resize, convert, transmit, display, and otherwise use your User Content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, back up, and provide the Workshop and to honor the privacy or visibility settings you select. This license ends when the content is deleted from active systems, except for temporary backup copies, legal retention, security records, or material we are otherwise permitted or required to retain.
The Workshop may allow you to designate supported content as Public or Private. Public content may be displayed to other users and visitors and may be discussed, linked to, or downloaded when the applicable Workshop feature permits downloading. Private content is intended to remain restricted to you and authorized administrators, except when access is reasonably necessary to provide support, investigate abuse or security issues, enforce these Terms, or comply with law.
Before making any content Public, make sure that your license or permission allows public display and, where applicable, digital sharing or redistribution.
You may upload only files, photographs, artwork, designs, machine files, project files, logos, text, or other material that you created yourself or that you have sufficient permission or a valid license to upload and use in the manner selected.
Buying or downloading a digital file does not automatically give you the right to redistribute or publicly share the source file. A license may allow you to make physical products while prohibiting you from uploading, sharing, reselling, sublicensing, or distributing the digital design itself. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with the license that applies to any purchased or third-party content.
You represent and warrant that your User Content and your use of it through the Workshop do not infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights of any person or entity. We may remove or disable access to material that we reasonably believe may infringe another party’s rights.
Copyright complaints concerning material available through the Workshop should be sent to [email protected].
To help us evaluate a complaint promptly, please include:
We may remove or disable access to disputed material while a complaint is reviewed and may notify the member who uploaded it.
If your content is removed because of a copyright complaint and you believe the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to [email protected]. A counter-notification should identify the removed material and its former location, include your physical or electronic signature and contact information, and contain the statements required by applicable law for a valid counter-notification.
Where appropriate, LHG may suspend or terminate accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights or other intellectual-property rights. We may also restrict uploading privileges or remove content when a pattern of infringement or repeated rights violations is reasonably established.
Except for User Content and third-party materials, the Workshop software, site design, branding, logos, original documentation, custom workflows, databases, graphics, text, and other proprietary materials are owned by or licensed to LHG and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not grant you ownership of the Workshop or any LHG intellectual property.
You may not copy, reverse engineer, reproduce, sell, license, or create derivative works from proprietary Workshop software or materials except as expressly permitted by law or with written permission from LHG.
Laser equipment can create fire, electrical, optical, respiratory, chemical, mechanical, and other hazards. You are solely responsible for safe equipment operation, material suitability, ventilation, fire prevention, protective equipment, supervision, maintenance, and compliance with manufacturer instructions and applicable laws.
Settings, techniques, files, suggestions, comments, project examples, and other information available through the Workshop may not be safe or suitable for your specific machine, material, environment, or experience level. Verify settings and procedures independently and begin with safe test conditions.
The Workshop may include community suggestions, software-generated recommendations, AI-assisted information, LaserIQ responses, settings, troubleshooting guidance, or other educational content. Such information is provided for general informational purposes and may contain errors or may not apply to your equipment or circumstances. It is not a substitute for manufacturer documentation, professional advice, or your own safety judgment.
The Workshop may link to or interact with third-party services, websites, video platforms, email providers, hosting providers, AI services, image-processing services, or other external systems. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices, or terms. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.
Some Workshop features may be experimental, beta, incomplete, or subject to change. We may add, modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue features at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, permanent storage of content, or compatibility with every browser, device, plugin, machine, or file format.
You should maintain your own copies of important project files, photographs, settings, and records.
You may stop using the Workshop at any time. We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary because of a violation of these Terms, repeated copyright infringement, unlawful or abusive conduct, security risk, nonpayment of applicable fees, misuse of the service, or conduct that threatens the Workshop or other users.
Account termination may result in loss of access to User Content. Data deletion and retention are also governed by the Workshop Privacy Notice and Data Deletion process.
Your use of the Workshop is also subject to the Privacy Notice, which describes how information is collected, used, retained, and protected. The Data Deletion process provides a method for requesting cancellation of a Workshop account and deletion of associated information, subject to legal and technical retention requirements.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Workshop and all information, features, files, suggestions, and services made available through it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. LHG disclaims warranties that are not expressly stated in these Terms, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, LHG and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, files, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from or related to use of the Workshop.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LHG and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your User Content, your violation of these Terms, your infringement of another party’s rights, or your unlawful or unsafe use of the Workshop.
We may update these Terms as the Workshop, its features, or applicable requirements change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes may also be communicated through the Workshop, email, release notes, or another reasonable method. Continued use of the Workshop after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Notice and any additional terms presented for a specific paid service or feature, constitute the agreement governing your use of the Workshop. A failure by LHG to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later.
Questions about these Terms or the Workshop may be sent to [email protected].
The Louisiana Hobby Guy, LLC
Effective date: August 6, 2026
The Louisiana Hobby Guy, LLC respects the privacy of people who visit or use The Hobby Guy Workshop. This Privacy Notice explains what information may be collected, why it is used, the choices available to members, and how to contact us.
Depending on how you use the Workshop, we may collect:
Information is used to provide and secure account access, operate Workshop features, display content according to its privacy setting, send essential service and beta-program messages, respond to support requests, investigate errors or misuse, improve the Workshop, maintain backups, and meet legal obligations.
Members control whether Projects and supported content are Public or Private using the controls provided by the Workshop. Public content may be viewed, discussed, or shared by other members. Private content remains limited to the account owner and authorized administrators, except when access is required to provide support, investigate a report, protect the service, or comply with law.
The Workshop uses cookies and browser storage that are necessary for sign-in, security, fraud prevention, session continuity, saved preferences, forms, and essential WordPress operation. These necessary technologies cannot be disabled through a consent banner because the Workshop may not function correctly without them.
The Workshop does not require optional advertising or behavioral-tracking cookies to provide its core features. If optional analytics, embedded media, advertising, or other nonessential tracking is added later, an appropriate consent and preference system will be provided before those technologies are activated where required.
Information may be processed by vendors that help operate the Workshop, including web hosting, database and backup services, email delivery, security, AI assistance, and optional image-processing services. The exact providers may change as the Workshop evolves. These providers receive only the information reasonably needed to perform their services and are subject to their own privacy and security terms.
External video links and other links may open websites operated by third parties such as YouTube, Vimeo, cloud-storage providers, or similar services. Their privacy practices apply after you leave the Workshop. The Workshop generally links to these services rather than embedding or hosting their videos.
The Louisiana Hobby Guy, LLC does not sell members' personal information to advertisers. Personal information is not shared for cross-context behavioral advertising through the core Workshop features.
Account and member-created information may be retained while an account is active and for a reasonable period afterward for security, legal, backup, dispute-resolution, and operational purposes. Some deleted information may remain temporarily in backups or logs until those systems are rotated. Information may be retained longer when required by law or necessary to protect legal rights.
Members can update profile information, change passwords, control Project visibility, remove eligible content, and submit a Data Deletion Request. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access, correction, a copy, restriction, objection, or deletion of personal information. Requests are reviewed and identity verification may be required before action is taken.
Submitting a Data Deletion Request asks us to cancel the Workshop membership and remove associated access, Projects, Project Sessions, Project Entries, photos, files, comments, and other account data, subject to legal and technical retention requirements.
The Workshop is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly request accounts from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided personal information should contact us.
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect Workshop information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Members should use unique passwords, keep credentials private, and sign out on shared devices.
The Workshop is operated from the United States. Users in California, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other regions may have additional privacy rights under local law. We will evaluate verified requests in light of the laws that apply to the Workshop and the requester.
This notice may be updated as the Workshop, its features, or legal requirements change. The effective date shown above identifies the current version.
Privacy questions or requests may be sent to [email protected]. The permanent Privacy Notice is available at https://lasershop.hguy.us/privacy/.
The Louisiana Hobby Guy, LLC
Submitting this request asks The Louisiana Hobby Guy, LLC to permanently cancel your Workshop membership. After the request is verified and processed, your account access will be removed and your Maker Profile, Projects, Project Sessions, Project Entries, uploaded photos and files, comments, feedback, challenge activity, and other associated Workshop data will be scheduled for permanent deletion. This action cannot be undone.
