Our responsibility

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time you accepted these terms, both we and you knew it might happen.

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

If defective digital content that we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage that you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage that was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.

The App is for domestic and private use. If you use the App for any commercial, business or resale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

The App and the Services are provided for general information purposes only. They do not offer advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of information obtained from the App or the Service. Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information provided by the App and the Service, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that such information is accurate, complete or up to date.

We recommend that you back up any content and data used in connection with the App, to protect yourself in case of problems with the App or the Service.

The App and the Services have not been developed to meet your individual requirements. Please check that the facilities and functions of the App and the Services (as described on the AppStore site) meet your requirements.

Disclaimer

The content and information provided on the App is for general purposes only and should not be a substitute for professional advice from a medical or other professional.

Whilst we make all reasonable efforts to ensure that our content is accurate and comprehensive, we cannot guarantee that the information is up-to-date, correct or complete. 

We are not able to advise on whether you are fit to safely participate in any of the activities set out on the App or that the content is appropriate for you. You should obtain professional or specialist advice from your doctor before participating or following the advice set out on the App. If you choose to exercise to the videos shown in the App, you do so at your own risk and acknowledge that the exercises carry an inherent risk of physical injury – particularly if you have a history of health problems or any previous injuries.  

You should contact a doctor if you suspect you have any medical conditions or issues. Please do not ignore professional advice or wait or refuse to obtain it because of something you have read or seen on the App.

If you have any of the following contra-indications, any activity undertaken through the use of the App should be reduced or modified:

  • Asthma
  • Sprains or strains in the hamstrings, knees and ankles
  • Shoulder injuries, including instability or impingement
  • Wrist injuries, especially carpel tunnel syndrome
  • Back conditions, including scoliosis, kyphosis, herniated or bulging discs, fused vertebrae
  • Sacroiliac joint (SI), including any pain or disfunction
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Pregnancy

Please contact our yoga instructor if you have any concerns.

In very rare cases, there have been studies that have shown that some people experience negative effects such as dissociation, anxiety, depression and hallucinations when practising mindful meditation extensively.  The people most susceptible to these side effects are people who are mentally vulnerable for example, schizophrenic patients, people who have long term mental health issues and in some cases, people who have experienced PTSD.  It is important to be taught meditation by an experienced teacher and in a safe environment.

Please do not take part in any of the activities on the App if you have been advised not to or whilst under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If you have a history of mental illness or are concerned that you are mentally vulnerable, then please consult with your health professional before taking part in any of the meditation or related activities on the App. This is not to say that it will be harmful to you, but we would recommend caution.

In the absence of any negligence or other breach of duty by us, you follow the advice provided on the App entirely at your risk.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes our liability where this is nor permissible by law.

Miscellaneous

Our provision of the Services or support for the App or the Services is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event  but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end your contract with us and receive a refund for any Services you have paid for but not received.

We may end your rights to use the App and Services at any time by contacting you if you have broken these terms in a serious way. If what you have done can be put right we will give you a reasonable opportunity to do so.

If we end your rights to use the App and Services:

  • You must stop all activities authorised by these terms, including your use of the App and any Services.
  • You must delete or remove the App from all devices in your possession and immediately destroy all copies of the App which you have and confirm to us that you have done this.
  • We may remotely access your devices and remove the App from them and cease providing you with access to the Services.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract. 

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree in writing.

This agreement does not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this agreement.

Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

If you are a UK resident then these terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
