Terms of Use

By creating an account or using the Ocean Yoga app (the “app”) or oceanyoga.com.tw (together, the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service. “Ocean Yoga”, “we” and “us” mean Ocean Yoga, based in Taiwan.

1. Your account

• You must be at least 13 to use the Service. If you’re under 18, you need the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these terms on your behalf.
• Give accurate details when you sign up and keep them up to date.
• Keep your password private. You’re responsible for what happens under your account, so tell us right away if you think someone else has used it.
• Accounts are for one person and can’t be shared or transferred.

2. Health and safety

Please read this section carefully.

• Yoga, breathwork and meditation are physical and mental practices that carry some risk of injury or discomfort. The classes, plans, meditations and workshops in the Service are general guidance for healthy adults. They are not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and they don’t replace a doctor, physiotherapist or other qualified professional.
• Check with your doctor before you start, and especially if you are pregnant or have recently given birth, have an injury, recently had surgery, or have a heart, blood pressure, respiratory, neurological or other medical condition.
• Practice within your limits and in a safe space. Stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath or discomfort, and seek medical help if you need it.
• Never meditate or follow breathing exercises while driving, swimming or doing anything that needs your full attention.
• Your plan is generated automatically from the answers you give during onboarding. It isn’t tailored to any medical condition.
• The app doesn’t promise any particular result, such as weight loss or flexibility.

To the extent the law allows, you take part in the practices voluntarily and at your own risk.

3. Membership and payment

• What’s free and what isn’t. Creating an account and building your plan is free. Classes, meditations and workshop booking require a paid membership.
• Billing. Memberships are monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store and charged to your Apple ID. The price, in your local currency, is shown in the app before you buy.
• Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your Apple ID is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
• Free trials. If you start a free trial, it becomes a paid subscription when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before then. Apple decides trial eligibility. Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.
• Cancelling. Go to Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iPhone, or Profile → Subscription in the app. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the period you’ve already paid for.
• Deleting your account doesn’t cancel your subscription. Cancel it with Apple first.
• Refunds. App Store purchases are processed by Apple, and Apple handles refund requests under its own policies at reportaproblem.apple.com. We can’t issue refunds for App Store purchases ourselves.
• Digital content. Membership content is digital content and an online service that starts as soon as you subscribe with your agreement. Under Taiwan’s rules on reasonable exceptions to the cancellation right for distance sales, the seven-day cancellation period may therefore not apply. This doesn’t affect any refund Apple grants or your rights under the law where you live.
• Price changes. If the price changes, Apple will tell you in advance and, where required, ask for your agreement before charging the new price.

4. Live workshops

• Booking a workshop requires a membership, and places are limited. If you can’t make it, please cancel your booking in the app so someone else can join.
• We may reschedule or cancel a workshop, for example if a teacher is unwell. We’ll let you know in the app or by email when we can.
• Workshops run on a third-party video meeting service, whose own terms apply when you join. Don’t record a workshop or share its link without our permission.
• Be respectful to teachers and other participants. A teacher may remove anyone who disrupts a session.
• The health and safety section above applies to workshops too.

5. Our content and your license

• All content in the Service, including videos, audio, meditations, plans, text, illustrations, logos and the app itself, belongs to Ocean Yoga or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other laws.
• We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app and stream its content for your own non-commercial practice, on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by these terms and Apple’s Usage Rules.
• You may not copy, download (except through features the app provides), record, redistribute, sell, rent or publicly show our content, including using it to teach a class; share your account; reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it; or scrape or interfere with the Service.

6. Your content

You keep ownership of what you add, such as your name and profile photo. You let us store and display it in the Service so we can run your account. Only add content you have the right to use, and nothing unlawful or offensive.

7. Acceptable use

Don’t use the Service to break the law, to harass or harm teachers or other members, to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other people’s accounts, or to disrupt the Service.

8. Changes to the Service

We’re always working on the Service. We may add, change or remove features and content, including classes and meditations. If we make a change that significantly reduces what your paid membership includes, we’ll tell you in advance.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete Account. We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, with notice where reasonable. Sections that by their nature should continue (such as content ownership, disclaimers and limitation of liability) survive.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent the law allows, we don’t guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or error free, or that it will produce any particular result for you.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Ocean Yoga isn’t liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for lost data or profits, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid for your membership in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, including liability for intent or gross negligence.

12. Terms that apply to the App Store version

These terms apply to your use of the app downloaded from Apple’s App Store:

• Agreement with us, not Apple. These terms are between you and Ocean Yoga only, not Apple. Ocean Yoga, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
• Scope of license. Your license to use the app is limited to Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing where available.
• Maintenance and support. Ocean Yoga is solely responsible for maintenance and support of the app. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support.
• Warranty. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app, if any, to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are Ocean Yoga’s responsibility, to the extent not disclaimed in these terms.
• Product claims. Ocean Yoga, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• Intellectual property. If a third party claims that the app or your possession and use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, Ocean Yoga, not Apple, is solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
• Legal compliance. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Third-party terms. You must comply with any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, such as your mobile data plan.
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
• Questions and complaints about the app go to Ocean Yoga, Taiwan, at hello@oceanyoga.com.tw or +886 958 080 066.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Taiwan (Republic of China). If you have a problem, please contact us first and we’ll try to resolve it informally. Any dispute that can’t be resolved this way will be heard by the competent courts of Taiwan. This doesn’t take away any protection you have under the mandatory consumer laws of the place where you live.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time and will revise the date at the top. If a change is significant, we’ll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. If you keep using the Service after the change takes effect, the new terms apply; if you don’t agree, you can cancel your membership and delete your account.

15. Language

These terms are published in English and Traditional Chinese. If the two versions differ, the Traditional Chinese version prevails.
