Terms of use
In effect from [the date these policies take effect]
These terms are the agreement between you and [the company’s legal name], which runs Embodha. By creating an account you agree to them, so please read them. The privacy policy and the refund policy are part of them.
Your account
You need to be 18 or over. One account is for one person: please don't share it. You sign in with codes sent to your email, so anyone who can read your email can get into your account. Keep your email secure, and tell us straight away if you think someone else has used your account.
Your health comes first
Check with your doctor before you start if you're pregnant or recently gave birth, have a heart or blood pressure condition, an injury, recent surgery, or any condition that makes exercise or breath-holding risky. Each course says who should sit it out; please read it. Stop if something hurts, makes you dizzy or feels wrong. You practise at your own risk, within what's sensible for your body.
Courses you buy
You pay once and the course stays in your library for as long as Embodha runs, on every device you sign in to. Teachers sometimes improve a course after you've bought it. They can add chapters or replace a video, but they can't take away a chapter you bought it for. Our team reviews each change before it goes live.
One course is free to everyone, and many courses have a free first chapter. We may change which course is free.
Following a teacher
A subscription to a teacher opens every course they make, including new ones, for as long as it runs. It renews every month on the date you started, at the price you agreed to, until you stop it. You can stop it at any time:
- bought on the website: Library, then Stop renewing;
- bought on an iPhone or iPad: in the App Store's subscription settings;
- bought on Android: in Google Play's subscription settings.
You keep access until the end of the month you've paid for. If a teacher stops offering subscriptions, we stop everyone's from renewing, and everyone keeps the time they've paid for. In the App Store that happens at the next renewal date, once Apple has taken the subscription off sale. If we ever need to change a subscription's price, we'll tell you beforehand, and you can stop it before the new price applies.
Prices and tax
On the website, prices are shown in Indian rupees, including 18% GST, if you're in India, and in US dollars elsewhere. In the iOS and Android apps, Apple and Google set the price in your currency and handle the payment, and their terms apply to it too. We email an invoice for purchases made on the website.
Refunds
See the refund policy. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under consumer law.
What you may do with the courses
Courses are licensed to you for your own personal practice. Please don't copy, download outside the app, record, share, broadcast, sell or teach from them, or let others use your account. Teachers own their courses and let us offer them to you; the Embodha app, name and design belong to us.
Reviews and notes
Your notes on chapters are private. Reviews are public, so keep them honest and about the course: no abuse, no personal details about anyone, no advertising. We may hide a review that breaks these rules, and we may reply to reviews as Embodha.
If you teach on Embodha
The agreement we make with you when you join as a teacher also applies, and it covers your share of sales and how you're paid. Where it differs from these terms, it wins. You confirm you have the rights to everything you upload, including any music, and that your courses are safe to follow as described.
When we can suspend an account
If an account is used to break these terms, for example to share courses, abuse other people, or commit fraud or false chargebacks, we may suspend it. Where we can, we'll tell you why first. You can delete your account at any time (see how).
Keeping Embodha running
We work to keep Embodha available and the courses playing, but we can't promise it will never be interrupted, for example during maintenance or problems at the companies we rely on. If we ever decide to close Embodha, we'll tell you well in advance.
If things go wrong
As far as the law allows, we aren't responsible for losses we couldn't reasonably foresee, or for injury from practice that goes against the guidance above. As far as the law allows, our total responsibility to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem. Nothing here limits responsibility that the law doesn't allow to be limited.
The law that applies
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes go to the courts in [the city whose courts hear disputes], although you can still go to a consumer commission where the law allows. Please write to us first; most problems are quicker to fix than to argue about.
Changes
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app or by email before the change takes effect. If you don't agree, you can stop using Embodha and delete your account.
