Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) carefully before registering for, purchasing, or participating in any online Yoga Nidra and/or Sound Bath session (“Session”) offered by us (“the Provider,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

2. Nature of the Sessions

2.1 Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation and relaxation practice designed to bring the body and mind into a deeply restful, hypnagogic state between waking and sleep. Sessions are provided for general wellness and relaxation purposes only and do not constitute medical, psychological, or therapeutic treatment.

2.2 Sound Bath

Sound Bath sessions use resonant instruments — such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other acoustic tools — to create an immersive auditory environment intended to promote relaxation. Sessions are provided for general wellness purposes only.

3. Health & Safety Disclaimer

5. Registration & Booking

This Session is offered free of charge. Registration in advance may be required through our designated booking platform or sign-up form. A place is confirmed only upon receipt of a booking confirmation from the Provider. The Provider reserves the right to limit capacity and to decline or cancel registrations at its discretion.

6. Cancellation Policy

6.1 Cancellation by Participant

As this Session is provided at no cost, no financial refund is applicable. However, if you are unable to attend, we ask that you cancel your registration as soon as possible so that your place may be offered to others. You can cancel by contacting us at the details provided in Section 14.

6.2 Cancellation or Rescheduling by the Provider

The Provider reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or reschedule any Session at any time. Registered participants will be notified as soon as practicable. As no payment has been made, the Provider’s liability in such circumstances is limited to providing reasonable notice.

7. Code of Conduct

To maintain a safe and respectful environment for all participants, you agree to:

• Keep your microphone muted unless invited to speak;

• Not disturb the flow of the Session with disruptive behavior.

The Provider reserves the right to remove any participant from a Session if these conduct standards are not met.

8. Intellectual Property

All Session content, including but not limited to guided scripts, soundscapes, recordings, materials, and branding, are the intellectual property of the Provider and are protected by copyright law. You may not record, reproduce, distribute, adapt, or commercially exploit any Session content without prior written permission from the Provider.

Where recordings of Sessions are made available for replay (e.g., for registered participants), access is granted for personal, non-commercial use only. Sharing access credentials or replay links with third parties is strictly prohibited.

9. Privacy & Data Protection

Your personal data is collected and processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and is available on our website. By booking a Session, you consent to the collection and use of your data as described therein.

We will not share your personal information with third parties except as necessary to deliver the Services (e.g., platform providers) or as required by law.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

• The Provider makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the outcomes or results of participation in any Session;
• The Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your participation;
• The Provider’s total liability to you in respect of any claim, to the extent permitted by law, is limited to re-provision of the relevant Session or such remedy as the Provider deems reasonable in the circumstances.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Provider and its facilitators, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your violation of any law or third-party right; or (c) any misrepresentation made by you in connection with a Session.

12. Modifications to Terms

The Provider reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be published on our website and, where practical, communicated to registered participants. Continued participation in Sessions following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

13.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

13.2 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or any Session ("Dispute") through good-faith negotiation. Either party must notify the other in writing of the Dispute, and the parties shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to attempt to resolve the matter informally.

13.3 Arbitration

If the Dispute is not resolved through informal negotiation within the period described above, it shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) in accordance with its then-current applicable rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single (1) arbitrator, mutually agreed upon by the parties or, failing agreement, appointed by JAMS. The seat of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

13.4 Exceptions

Notwithstanding Section 13.3, either party may seek emergency or interim injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in New York to prevent irreparable harm pending the outcome of arbitration. Nothing in this Section shall limit either party’s right to bring a claim in small claims court where the claim qualifies under applicable rules.

13.5 Waiver of Class Action

All Disputes shall be resolved on an individual basis only. You agree that you may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate claims or preside over any class or representative proceeding.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
