Terms of service

§ 1. General

1. These terms set out the rules of using the website at manyways.studio, operated as Many Ways to Move (the Service).
2. The Service is operated by: Artur Chruszcz Porusza, Dulina 1/9, 80-180 Gdansk, Poland, tax identification number (NIP): PL5833100159 (the Operator).
3. Contact with the Operator: e-mail [email protected].
4. These terms are available free of charge, in a form that allows them to be retrieved, stored and reproduced. The English text is the binding version on this platform.

§ 2. Definitions

§ 3. Scope of services

1. The Operator provides the following services electronically:
   1. a free Account with the lesson search,
   2. Free lessons, playable without an Account,
   3. paid Lesson purchases,
   4. paid Course purchases,
   5. a paid monthly or yearly Subscription.
2. Free lessons are chosen by the Operator and change from time to time. A Lesson being free today is not a promise that it stays free.
3. Lessons are streamed in the browser. The Service does not offer files for download.
4. Within the Courses a User has access to, the Service offers a search and an assistant that answers questions from the transcripts of those Lessons, citing the passages it relies on. Its answers are generated automatically. They are not advice of any kind and may contain errors - the recordings themselves are the reference.
5. Live sessions take place on a third-party video-conferencing service chosen by the Teacher. The link to join appears in the Course after purchase. That service's own terms apply to its use.

§ 4. Technical requirements

Using the Service requires a device with internet access, a current web browser with JavaScript and cookies enabled, and an active e-mail address. Listening to a Lesson requires speakers or headphones. A camera and a microphone are needed for a Live session only if you want to be seen or heard.

§ 5. Account

1. Registration requires a name, an e-mail address and a password, and acceptance of these terms.
2. Playing Lessons that are not free requires confirming the e-mail address with the link sent after registration.
3. The User undertakes to provide true information and not to share the Account with third parties.
4. The User may request the deletion of the Account at any time by writing to [email protected]. Deletion does not affect settlements made before it.
5. The Operator may block an Account used in breach of these terms or of the law - in particular for the bulk downloading of content or for sharing access with third parties - after first asking the User to stop, where that is possible.

§ 6. Prices and payment

1. Prices are shown in euro (EUR). A Course may additionally be offered in other currencies; the price in the currency chosen at checkout is the price paid. Prices are final prices - where VAT applies, it is included.
2. Payments are handled by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. The Operator does not store payment card data.
3. The Subscription renews automatically for the next billing period and is charged in advance. The User may cancel the Subscription at any time in the billing panel - access then lasts until the end of the paid period and no further charge is made.
4. The Operator announces a change of the Subscription price by e-mail at least 30 days before it takes effect. The change applies from the next billing period; the User may cancel the Subscription before it takes effect.
5. A purchased Lesson or Course stays available on the Account for an indefinite time. Should the Service be discontinued, the Operator will give at least 60 days' notice.
6. A Course with Live sessions may have a limited number of seats. When they are taken, checkout closes. A seat freed by a refund reopens it, and Users who joined the Course's waiting list are notified by e-mail.
7. A Course marked as included in the Subscription is available to subscribers for as long as their Subscription lasts. Buying such a Course keeps it on the Account regardless of the Subscription.

§ 7. Right of withdrawal

1. A Consumer has the right to withdraw from a contract concluded at a distance within 14 days without giving a reason. The withdrawal may be sent by e-mail to [email protected].
2. Lesson purchase and Course purchase (digital content): starting playback before the withdrawal period ends requires the Consumer's express consent, together with the acknowledgement that, once access begins, the right of withdrawal is lost (Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU, as implemented in national law). The consent is given at checkout. Until access begins, the right of withdrawal applies in full.
3. Subscription (digital service): a Consumer who asked for the service to begin before the withdrawal period ends may still withdraw within 14 days; they then pay for the part of the service provided until withdrawal, in proportion to the period used. The rest of the fee is refunded within 14 days by the same payment method.
4. Live sessions (a service): if, at the Consumer's request, a Live session took place within the withdrawal period, the Consumer pays for that part of the service.
5. Beyond the statutory right, every Course comes with a 14-day money-back promise: write to [email protected] within 14 days of the purchase and it is refunded in full - unless you have already attended a Live session of that Course, in which case a refund is at the Operator's discretion. A refund ends access to the Course.

§ 8. Licence and intellectual property

1. Lessons, transcripts, descriptions and the other content of the Service are protected by copyright. The rights to the recordings belong to the Teachers who made them or to their licensors; the Operator publishes them under licence.
2. On gaining access to a Lesson, the User receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to play it solely for personal use.
3. The following in particular are prohibited: copying, recording, downloading, distributing and publicly playing Lessons; sharing Account access with third parties; and using the content of the Service to run one's own classes without the separate consent of the rights holder.

§ 9. Teachers and content

1. Lessons are recorded by Teachers invited by name. Every recording is reviewed by the Operator before publication.
2. Teachers are responsible for the content of their recordings. The Operator may take a Lesson or a Course off the Service for legal or editorial reasons; access already purchased remains.
3. If you believe that content in the Service infringes your rights or the law, write to [email protected].

§ 10. Health notice

1. Lessons are educational classes in movement awareness. They are not medical advice, diagnosis or therapy, and they do not replace a consultation with a doctor or a physiotherapist.
2. In case of doubt about the effect of movement practice on your health - in particular with acute pain, after an injury or surgery, or during pregnancy - consult a doctor before you begin.
3. Practise within your own comfort, without forcing movement and without going into pain. You practise at your own responsibility.

§ 11. Complaints

1. Complaints about the Service and its services may be sent by e-mail to [email protected]. A complaint should describe the problem and give the e-mail address of the Account.
2. The Operator answers a complaint within 14 days of receiving it.
3. The Operator is liable for the conformity of digital content and digital services with the contract under the consumer law that applies to the Consumer (Directive (EU) 2019/770, as implemented in national law).

§ 12. Out-of-court dispute resolution

A Consumer may use out-of-court complaint and redress procedures, including the alternative dispute resolution bodies in their country of residence. For cross-border disputes within the European Union, the European Consumer Centres Network (ECC-Net) offers free assistance. Consumers in Poland may also turn to the consumer arbitration courts at the Trade Inspection and to municipal consumer ombudsmen; details at uokik.gov.pl.

§ 13. Changes to these terms

1. The Operator may change these terms for important reasons, in particular a change in the law, in the scope of services or in the methods of payment.
2. Users are informed of a change by e-mail at least 14 days before it takes effect. A User who does not accept the change may delete the Account or cancel the Subscription before then.
3. Contracts concluded before a change are governed by the terms in force at the time they were concluded.

§ 14. Final provisions

1. These terms are governed by Polish law. This choice does not deprive a Consumer of the protection granted by provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement under the law of the country of the Consumer's habitual residence.
2. The processing of personal data is described in the Privacy policy.
3. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits the rights a Consumer has under mandatory law.
4. Should any provision of these terms prove invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force.
