Biofield Awareness™ Online Course 

 Participation & Release of Liability Agreement

Thank you for participating in a Biofield Awareness Online Course, whichever one is applicable (the “Course”) presented by the Biofield Awareness Institute (the “Institute”) and facilitated by Dan Spinner (the “Facilitator”) with the support of the Institute’s representatives and volunteers. This Participation & Release of Liability Agreement (“Agreement”) contains important information the Institute needs to share with you and for you to understand. By participating in the Course, you agree to the following terms and conditions:  

1. The purpose of the Course is to provide participants with the opportunity to explore an innovative approach to self-awareness and personal growth developed by the Facilitator called Biofield Awareness. Biofield Awareness synthesizes the newly emerging field of Biofield Science with Light Body Meditation and ancient practices and traditions such as Aikido. The Course is designed to teach participants about the practice of Biofield Awareness, including Biofield Movement. It is intended to help participants restore a deeper connection with themselves and in their relationships while continuing down their own personal growth and spiritual path. The premise of Biofield Awareness is that by consciously reconnecting with our body’s wisdom and intuition, it can teach us about who we really are and how it is possible to live in harmony with all Beings. The Course generally consists of presentation of the topics, guided journeys, readings, practices, gentle movement exercises (Biofield Movement), and other activities lead by the Facilitator, along with group sharing of experiences by participants. 

2. The information presented during the Course, including ideas, suggestions, techniques, gentle movement exercises, activities, processes, instructions, and other materials (collectively the “Materials”) is educational in nature and is provided only as general information and is not medical or psychological advice. 

3.  You understand that the Course is a hands-on, experiential program and is not, in any way, to be considered treatment for any physical, emotional, or psychological disorder nor is the Course a substitute for seeking licensed health care services and advise. You agree to consult with your licensed health care provider for any specific medical or psychological issues or concerns and to continue any medical or psychological treatment that you are currently receiving. 

4.  You understand that the Course is solely for your own personal development and you are prohibited from recording the Course. While participating in the Course, you are advised to be in a quiet private space to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the other participants in the Course and the intellectual property rights of the Institute. If you cannot be in a completely private space, you agree to use head phones during the Course to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of the other participants in the Course. 

5. While the practices, and any other activities, presented in the Course are considered gentle and grounding, please be advised that by participating in the Course, it is possible to experience some physical discomfort or emotional distress that can be perceived as negative. If you inadvertently experience any emotional distress or physical discomfort participating in the Course, you agree to notify the Facilitator and to seek, if appropriate, the services of an appropriate health care professional. 

6. Because of the experimental nature of the Course, you agree and understand that neither the Institute nor the Facilitator can provide any warranties, guarantees or predictions regarding the outcome or the results you may experience from participating in the Course. Due to the fact that the Course includes group processes such as participants attending online live broadcasts presented by the Facilitator, in which you may voluntarily reveal personal information, you understand that you waive your rights of privacy and confidentiality with respect to other individuals participating in the Course with you. 

7. The Materials presented in the Course are owned by the Institute and are confidential, proprietary, and protected by intellectual property and copyright laws. You may not duplicate, screen grab, modify, publish, post on Facebook or other social media sites, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, create derivative works from, distribute, display, reproduce or perform, or in any way exploit in any format whatsoever any of the Materials presented in the Course. Any unauthorized use or distribution of the Institute’s Materials and confidential, proprietary, and intellectual property rights by you is prohibited and the Institute will pursue legal action and full damages if these terms are violated.
8. You acknowledge and agree that anything and everything discussed with the Facilitator, either during or separate from the Course, is merely a perspective for you to consider. Your participation in the Course is not intended to create nor does it establish a coach-client or other professional relationship between you and the Facilitator and should not be relied upon as professional advice of any kind or nature whatsoever. 

9. You agree to keep private and confidential any personal information shared by other individuals participating in the Course with you. Because the Course is conducted over the internet via Video Zoom, or another electronic platform, you understand that it is not possible for the Institute to guarantee the confidentiality of any of the information shared during the Course online. 

10. You agree and understand that the Course will be audio recorded or recorded via streaming video for the purpose of making such audio recording or streaming video of the Course available to participants not able to attend a live online Course session (the “Course Recordings”). The Course Recordings will only be available to participants as streaming and will not be available to download in order to protect the confidentiality of the information presented in the Course Recordings. Further, you agree and understand that the Institute shall have all rights in and to the Course Recordings, including the copyrights therein. 

11. Although Biofield Awareness appears to having promising benefits, it is considered experimental, and the extent of its effectiveness, as well as its risks and benefits are not fully known. Therefore, you agree to assume and accept full responsibility for any and all risks associated with participating the Course, including without limitation, using any exercises, practices or any other activities offered in the Course, and for applying what you may learn from participating in the Course. Further, you agree and understand that this Agreement is intended to be a complete unconditional release of liability and assumption of risk to the greatest extent permitted by law. 

12. Any and all matters in dispute between the parties to this Agreement, whether arising from or relating to this Agreement itself, or arising from alleged extra-contractual facts prior to, during, or subsequent to the Agreement, including, without limitation, fraud, misrepresentation, negligence or any other alleged tort or violation of this Agreement, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, without regard to conflicts of law doctrines and regardless of the legal theory upon which such matter is asserted. If a court finds any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance, then the remainder of this Agreement will be interpreted to best carry out the intent of the parties. 

13. You understand that your participation in the Course is strictly voluntary, at your own risk, and that you freely choose to participate. You represent that you are competent and able to understand the nature and consequences of participating in the Course. You represent that you are an adult under the laws of the state or province of the country of your residence and you have the right to enter into this Agreement.

By registering and participating in the Course you acknowledge that you have carefully and completely read and fully understand all aspects of this Agreement, and you agree to all of the terms and conditions stated herein. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, you agree to forever, fully release, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Facilitator, the Institute its owners, staff members, employees, consultants, agents, representatives, independent contractors, volunteers, and others associated with the Institute from any and all claims or liability, of whatsoever kind or nature, and for any damage or injury, including but not limited to, financial, legal, personal, emotional, psychological, medical, or otherwise, which you may incur arising at any time as a result of your voluntary decision to participate in the Course.
