Terms of Use

Holistic Ayurveda Institute & Wellness Centre provides Ayurveda education, wellness education, courses, workshops, programs, learning resources, and related services.

Our offerings may include online and in-person learning, live sessions, recorded content, downloadable materials, interactive learning tools, communities, assessments, workshops, and other educational resources.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, information provided through our websites, programs, courses, workshops, videos, documents, communities, and educational resources is provided for educational and informational purposes.

Ayurveda is a traditional system of knowledge and wellness. Educational discussions may include concepts relating to food, lifestyle, digestion, sleep, herbs, daily routines, yoga, meditation, wellness, and other traditional Ayurvedic principles.

Educational information should not be treated as individualized medical advice.

Content provided through our educational programs and websites is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition and should not replace appropriate medical care.

Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking medical care because of information obtained through our website, courses, programs, instructors, communities, or educational materials.

If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, take medications, are undergoing treatment, or have concerns about your health, consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes involving diet, herbs, supplements, exercise, or other health practices.

If you believe you may be experiencing a medical emergency, seek appropriate emergency medical care.

People may respond differently to food, lifestyle practices, herbs, routines, exercise, wellness practices, and other approaches discussed in Ayurveda.

Examples, case discussions, testimonials, participant experiences, and educational scenarios are provided for learning purposes and do not guarantee that another person will experience the same outcome.

No particular health, educational, professional, financial, or other outcome is guaranteed through participation in our programs.

Completion of a Holistic Ayurveda educational program does not automatically grant a government licence, regulated healthcare designation, medical qualification, or legal authority to diagnose or treat disease.

Students and graduates are responsible for understanding the laws, regulations, professional requirements, insurance requirements, and permitted scope of practice applicable where they live or work.

Any certificate or designation issued by Holistic Ayurveda represents completion of the requirements established by Holistic Ayurveda for that particular program unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Some programs require an application before enrollment. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance.

Admission may be subject to additional enrollment terms, payment requirements, policies, or agreements.

Where program-specific terms conflict with these general Terms of Use, the program-specific agreement will govern the matter addressed by that agreement.

Program prices, payment schedules, deposits, installment arrangements, taxes, and other charges will be communicated before purchase or enrollment.

You are responsible for providing accurate billing and payment information.

Payment processing may be handled by third-party payment providers and may also be subject to their terms and policies.

Cancellation, withdrawal, transfer, deferral, and refund policies may vary depending on the program, workshop, event, product, or service.

The applicable policy will be communicated during registration or enrollment.

For programs that require a separate enrollment agreement, the cancellation and refund provisions in that agreement will apply.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, these Terms of Use do not create an independent right to a refund.

Access to online programs and materials may be provided for a specified period or according to the terms communicated during enrollment.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

You may not share your account or course access with another person unless we expressly permit it.

We may suspend or terminate access where there is unauthorized sharing, misuse of materials, disruptive behaviour, non-payment, violation of these Terms, or another material breach of program requirements.

Unless otherwise stated, the content available through Holistic Ayurveda websites and programs belongs to Holistic Ayurveda Institute & Wellness Centre or is used with permission.

This includes course materials, written lessons, workbooks, guides, assessments, journals, videos, audio recordings, graphics, illustrations, interactive learning materials, presentations, website content, logos, branding, and educational resources.

These materials are provided for your personal educational use unless another use is expressly authorized.

Without written permission, you may not reproduce, distribute, sell, sublicense, commercially redistribute, republish, or upload substantial portions of our materials.

You may not share paid course access with people who are not enrolled or independently record live sessions unless expressly permitted.

Some classes, workshops, Q&A sessions, and other educational activities may be recorded.

Participants will be informed where reasonably appropriate when recording is taking place.

Recordings may be provided to enrolled students or used for educational purposes connected with the program.

Participants must not independently record, copy, distribute, publish, or share sessions without permission.

If you participate in a Holistic Ayurveda community, group, forum, class, or discussion area, you agree to communicate respectfully.

You must not harass or threaten another participant, publish another person's private information without permission, send spam, impersonate another person, disrupt classes, or share another participant's personal story, question, image, or health information outside the group without permission.

We may moderate or remove content and may restrict access when reasonably necessary to maintain a respectful learning environment.

Students are responsible for how they interpret and apply educational information.

Participation in an educational program does not create a doctor-patient relationship merely because health or wellness topics are discussed.

Where individualized clinical or wellness services are separately provided, additional consent forms, policies, or terms may apply.

Testimonials or participant stories appearing on our websites describe individual experiences.

They should not be interpreted as promises or guarantees of particular results.

Where we wish to publicly use identifiable participant feedback, photographs, recordings, or testimonials for promotional purposes, we may seek appropriate permission.

Our websites or programs may use or link to third-party services such as video conferencing platforms, payment processors, scheduling systems, learning platforms, social media services, or other websites.

We do not control every third-party service and are not responsible for its independent content, availability, security, privacy practices, or terms.

We aim to keep our websites and online learning services available and functioning properly. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

Services may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical problems, internet outages, platform changes, security issues, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may make reasonable changes to course schedules, instructors, educational materials, delivery methods, platforms, or program structure when necessary.

Where a significant change affects enrolled participants, we will make reasonable efforts to communicate the change.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Holistic Ayurveda Institute & Wellness Centre and its directors, instructors, employees, contractors, and representatives will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from the use of our websites, educational materials, or services.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

Our collection and handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes to our programs, services, operations, or legal requirements.

The current version will be posted on our website with its most recent update date.

These Terms are governed by the applicable laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without limiting any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under laws applicable to you.
