The Blissen Service provides an online platform to enable you to view information online and through other connected devices about classes, courses, workshops, and other education programs and events offered by Blissen (collectively, “Blissen”). These Courses are at the intersection of technology, design, and entrepreneurship and may be made available for free or for a fee, in Blissen’s sole discretion. Together with our members, thought leaders, and seasoned practitioners (collectively “Instructors”), Blissen offers a robust curriculum focused on entrepreneurship and practices by which design and technology can be leveraged to create industry-changing products and successful companies. The Blissen Service will also permit the community of users of the Blissen Service to engage in discussions and communications with one another and with the Instructors.

Pre-Authorization. When you provide a credit card number to us to activate and/or pay for any fees related to Blissen, we, through our third-party payment processor, may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to a purchase to verify the credit card is valid and/or has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. These pre-authorizations will reduce your available balance by the authorization amount until it is released or reconciled with the actual charge. Please contact your card issuer if you have additional questions regarding when an authorization amount will be removed from your statement.
