The Online Teacher Training website (the "Online Teacher Training Website") is owned by Power Yoga. These Terms & Conditions of Use (this “Agreement”) apply to all of the products, services and websites offered by Power Yoga, the mobile or tablet versions thereof, any Power Yoga software, and any applications created by Power Yoga whether available through a social networking site or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies related to the Content (collectively, the "Service").

PLEASE READ THIS TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE ONLINE TEACHER TRAINING WEBSITE.

This Agreement sets forth legally binding terms for your use of the Service. By using the Service, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, whether you are a "Visitor" (which means that you simply browse the Service) or you are a "Member" (which means that you have subscribed to the Service as a user). If you do not accept the terms of this Agreement, you should leave the Online Teacher Training Website or other products or services provided by Power Yoga and discontinue use of the Service immediately. We may modify this Agreement from time to time, and such modification shall be effective upon its posting on the Online Teacher Training Website. You agree to be bound by any modification to this Agreement when you use the Online Teacher Training Website after any such modification is posted; it is therefore important that you review this Agreement regularly.

2. General Registration Requirements

If you wish to become a Member, communicate with other Members and otherwise make use of the Service, you must read this Agreement and indicate your acceptance during the registration process.

Use of the Service and membership on the Online Teacher Training Website is void where prohibited.

Content through the Service is provided to you “AS IS” for your information and personal use only and may not be downloaded, copied, reproduced, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any other purposes whatsoever without the prior written consent of Power Yoga. Power Yoga reserves all rights not expressly granted in and to the Service and the Content.

You may access Website and Content as available:

for your information and personal use;
as intended through the normal functionality of the Power Yoga Service; and
for Streaming, "Streaming" or "Stream" means a contemporaneous digital transmission of an audiovisual work via the Internet from the Power Yoga Service to a user's device in such a manner that the data is intended for real-time viewing and not intended to be copied, stored, permanently downloaded, or redistributed by the user. Except as provided herein, accessing the Service for any purpose or in any manner other than Streaming is expressly prohibited. When you stream the Content, the resolution and quality of the Content you receive will depend on a number of factors, including the type of device you are using and your bandwidth, which may fluctuate during the course of your viewing. While we strive to provide a quality viewing experience, we make no guarantee as to the resolution or quality of the Streaming Content you will receive.

In order to be able to Stream or download Course Materials (as defined below) from the Service and to view the Content on the Service, you will need to use a personal computer, portable media player, or other device that meets the system and compatibility requirements that we establish from time to time and is otherwise capable of interacting with the Service (each such device, a "Compatible Device"). We may change the requirements for Compatible Devices from time to time and, in some cases, whether a device is (or remains) a Compatible Device may depend on software or systems provided or maintained by the device manufacturer or other third parties. As a result, devices that are Compatible Devices at one time may cease to be Compatible Devices in the future.

4. Health Disclaimer

Physical exercise, in all of its forms and with or without the use of equipment such as blocks, straps or any other equipment that may be suggested by a Power Yoga instructor, is a strenuous physical activity. Accordingly, you are urged and advised to seek the advice of a physician before beginning any physical exercise regimen, routine, program or using any suggested equipment, shown in any of the video clips through the Service. Power Yoga is not a medical organization and its instructors or staff cannot give you medical advice or diagnosis. All suggestions and comments relating to the use of equipment, poses, moves and instruction are not required to be performed by you and are carried out at your election while viewing Power Yoga videos. Nothing contained on the Online Teacher Training Website or other products or services offered by Power Yoga should be construed as any form of such medical advice or diagnosis.

By using the Service you represent that you understand that physical exercise involves strenuous physical movement, and that such activity carries the risk of injury whether physical or mental. You understand that it is your responsibility to judge your physical and mental capabilities for such activities. It is your responsibility to ensure that by participating in classes and activities from Power Yoga, you will not exceed your limits while performing such activity, and you will select the appropriate level of classes for your skills and abilities, as well as for any mental or physical conditions and/or limitations you have. You understand that, from time to time instructors may suggest physical adjustments or the use of equipment and it is your sole responsibility to determine if any such suggested adjustment or equipment is appropriate for your level of ability and physical and mental condition. You expressly waive and release any claim that you may have at any time for injury of any kind against Power Yoga, or any person or entity involved with Power Yoga, including without limitation its directors, principals, instructors, independent contractors, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates and representatives.

5. Certification and Disclaimer of Affiliation with Accreditation Body

Upon final completion & approval by Power Yoga Teacher Training Team, individuals will receive a certification of completion from Power Yoga. Upon specific request in writing BEFORE the completion date of the Teacher Training, optional Yoga Alliance CEUs may be available for the course. Please see specific course details as to whether CEU’s may apply for a particular teacher training. The courses offered by Power Yoga are for information purposes only and do not make you eligible for certification by any governing or accreditation body to teach yoga. Power Yoga is not a member of any yoga-related governing or accreditation body and therefore cannot guarantee that the curriculum meets the standards developed by such organizations.

You agree not to hold yourself out as a certified yoga instructor based on completing the course materials provided on the Teacher Training Website or use Power Yoga’s name as a certification or accreditation body for purposes of teaching yoga. Further, you expressly waive and release Power Yoga and its directors, principals, instructors, independent contractors, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates and representatives of any claim arising from or in connection with teaching yoga or a violation of the terms as provided herein.

6. Online Course and Course Materials

Online Courses offered are subject to the Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liabilities.

Subject to your payment of any applicable fees (including applicable taxes) to rent or otherwise obtain access to the Online Courses, and your compliance with all of the other terms Power Yoga specifies for the Service, Power Yoga grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right and license, so long as the Online Courses are available on the Teacher Training Website, to access, view, use, and display the Online Courses for non-commercial, private use.

As part of the Online Courses, you will be able to interact with instructors during the Viewing Period. Once the View Period has ended, you will no longer have access to the instructors, but you will continue to have access to the Online Courses so long as such courses remain on the Teacher Training Website.
