Terms of Use

Tai Chi Productions – Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a legal agreement between Tai Chi Productions ("we", "us", "our") and you, the individual who accesses or uses any of our digital learning websites, including but not limited to Online Tai Chi Lessons, Online Tai Chi Workshops, and any future websites or services operated by us (collectively, "our Services").

All Services operate through a shared or connected online learning platform. By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or buying any digital program through our Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy (https://course.onlinetaichilessons.com/pages/privacy).

In short: One agreement covers all Tai Chi Productions digital learning websites, subscriptions, and programs, now and in the future.

1. Acceptance of Terms
By using our Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
We may update these Terms by posting a new version on our website. The revision date above shows the latest update. Continued use means acceptance of the new version.

In short: Using our sites or purchasing a program means you accept these Terms.

2. Eligibility and Account Creation
You must be at least 18 years old, or have parental or guardian consent, to create an account or make purchases.
Your single account provides access to all Tai Chi Productions learning websites connected to our platform.
Keep your login details secure and accurate. Creating an account alone does not trigger billing. Charges apply only when you purchase a paid program.

In short: One login works across our sites. You are responsible for your account and only charged when you buy.

3. Subscriptions, Purchases and Billing
Our Services may offer different kinds of digital learning programs.

a) Recurring-subscription programs
These include Online Tai Chi Lessons and any other ongoing memberships or subscription-based Tai Chi programs we may introduce.

Subscriptions renew automatically (monthly, annual, or as otherwise stated) until cancelled.
By subscribing, you authorise recurring charges to your nominated payment method.
You are responsible for cancelling before your renewal date if you do not wish to continue.
Charges apply whether or not you actively use the Service until cancellation is completed.
All prices are in US Dollars (USD). Your bank or card provider may convert the amount to your local currency and charge international-transaction fees beyond our control.
Promotional or coupon pricing continues for that program until it is cancelled.

b) Fixed-term access programs
These include Online Tai Chi Workshops, Self-Paced Instructor Preparation Packages, and any other time-limited digital programs we may release.

You pay once for access during the stated period (for example, 15 days, 30 days, or 1 year).
Access ends automatically at the expiry date unless re-purchased.
These programs do not renew automatically and will not generate further charges.

In short: Recurring-subscription programs renew automatically until you cancel. Fixed-term programs end automatically when their access period finishes.

Definition: References to “recurring-subscription programs” and “fixed-term access programs” include all current and future digital learning offerings from Tai Chi Productions, regardless of which of our domains or platforms you use.

4. Cancellations and Refunds
Recurring-subscription programs

You may cancel anytime through your account or by emailing [email protected].
Cancelling stops future payments but keeps access until the end of your current paid term.
We cannot refund subscriptions that were not cancelled before renewal, even if unused, except as required by law.

Fixed-term access programs

These are single-payment, time-limited programs and cannot be cancelled or refunded once purchased, except as required by law.
Access ends automatically at the advertised expiry date.

In short: Cancel subscription programs before they renew. Fixed-term programs end automatically after their stated period.

5. Pricing, Currency and Taxes
All prices are listed in USD. Local banks or cards may convert amounts into your local currency and may charge foreign-transaction fees. We are not responsible for exchange-rate changes or bank fees. Taxes such as GST or VAT may be included or added where required by law.

In short: We charge in USD. Your bank handles conversion and any fees.

6. Licence to Use Digital Content
When you buy or subscribe, we grant you a personal, non-transferable, time-limited licence to stream the videos for private, non-commercial use only. You may not download, record, share, or publicly show any content. All intellectual property remains the property of Tai Chi Productions and Dr Paul Lam.

In short: Stream for personal use only. Do not copy or share.

7. Community Participation and Conduct
If you participate in the Tai Chi for Health Global Community or private Facebook group:

Interact respectfully and lawfully.
Do not post spam, advertising, medical advice, or offensive material.
We may remove content or suspend accounts that breach these guidelines.

In short: Be respectful and supportive. Keep the community positive.

8. Health and Safety Disclaimer
Our Tai Chi for Health programs and workshops are for general wellbeing and education, not medical advice or treatment.
Always consult your doctor or healthcare professional before starting any exercise, especially if you have a medical condition, mobility limitations, or other concerns.

By participating, you acknowledge that:

You join voluntarily and at your own risk.
Tai Chi involves movement and physical exertion.
You are responsible for your own safety and any injury or loss that may occur.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tai Chi Productions, Dr Paul Lam, and their associates are not liable for injuries, losses, or damages resulting from participation, improper technique, or failure to follow guidance.

In short: Consult your doctor first. Practise safely and at your own risk.

9. Service Availability and Technical Limitations
Our websites operate using a third-party learning-management system, currently Thinkific.
We take reasonable steps to maintain continuous service and protect your data, but we are not responsible for interruptions, data loss, or technical issues caused by Thinkific or other providers beyond our control. Access periods for programs run from the purchase date and include any temporary maintenance time.

In short: We use Thinkific to deliver lessons. We will do our best to keep service stable, but external outages are beyond our control.

10. Technical Requirements and Internet Access
Accessing our online programs requires a stable internet connection and a compatible device. You are responsible for any data, connection, or equipment costs needed to access the Services.

In short: You need your own reliable internet and device to stream lessons.

11. Third-Party Links and External Resources
Our Services may include links to third-party websites or resources for your convenience. We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for their content, privacy practices, or accuracy. Use of those sites is at your own discretion.

In short: External links are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for them.

12. Intellectual Property Rights
All videos, materials, trademarks, and logos, including “Tai Chi for Health” and “Dr Paul Lam”, are protected by copyright and trademark laws. You may not reproduce or distribute any content without written consent.

In short: All materials belong to Tai Chi Productions. Please do not copy or reuse them.

13. Feedback and Testimonials
By posting or submitting feedback, comments, testimonials, or other content through our websites, communities, or social media pages (including Facebook groups), you grant Tai Chi Productions a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, publish, and share that material for marketing, educational, or promotional purposes in any form.

In short: Any feedback or testimonials you share may be used by us for marketing or educational purposes.

14. Communications and Email Consent
By creating an account, you consent to receive emails about your account, subscriptions, and Tai Chi for Health updates. You can unsubscribe from marketing messages anytime using the link in our emails or account settings. Unsubscribing will not affect essential service emails such as billing or password resets. See our Privacy Policy for details.

In short: We may email you about lessons or updates. You can opt out of marketing anytime.

15. Termination or Suspension of Access
You may end your participation anytime by cancelling your subscription. We may suspend or terminate access for breach, misuse, or non-payment. Outstanding payments remain due until the end of the current billing period.

In short: You can cancel anytime. We may suspend accounts that break the rules.

16. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tai Chi Productions and its officers, employees, and partners are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from use of the Services. Nothing limits non-excludable rights under applicable consumer law.

In short: We are not responsible for indirect or unforeseeable losses. Your legal rights remain.

17. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tai Chi Productions from claims or expenses resulting from your breach of these Terms or misuse of the Services.

In short: If your actions cause a problem, you will cover our reasonable costs.

18. Severability
If any clause is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest of these Terms remain in effect.

In short: If one part does not hold up, the rest still applies.

19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. If you live outside Australia, your local consumer rights still apply.

In short: NSW law governs, and your local rights are preserved.

20. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time by posting a new version on our website. Continued use after an update means you accept the new Terms.

In short: We will post updates here. Continuing to use the site means you accept them.

22. Changes to Programs, Content and Benefits
We continually improve our Tai Chi for Health programs and may add, remove, or update content, features, or member benefits at any time to reflect new developments or learning opportunities. This may include adding new programs, updating lesson materials, replacing older videos, or adjusting special-access features such as exclusive content, community activities, or member libraries. If a material change significantly reduces the value of your current access or subscription, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you in advance. These changes do not affect the price of any active subscription you already hold, unless stated otherwise or permitted by law.

In short: We may update, enhance, or adjust programs and benefits to keep our content fresh and relevant. Your active price will not change.

23. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, represent the entire agreement between you and Tai Chi Productions regarding your use of our Services, and replace any previous communications or agreements.

In short: These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the full agreement. No outside promises apply.
