Terms of Service.

Agreement to these terms

“Yogi Athletics”, “we” and “us” mean the online coaching practice operated by Shashank Sharma. By accessing the site, booking an assessment or using our coaching, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these terms, together with our Disclaimer, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Refund & Cancellation Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

Who may use the service

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to enter into these terms. Minors may only participate with the involvement and written consent of a parent or guardian who accepts these terms on their behalf.

What we provide

Yogi Athletics provides remote coaching, movement assessments, individualised training plans, and access to a client portal, exercise library and tools. Our services are educational and are delivered online — over video and written programming. They are personalised guidance, not a medical or physiotherapy service.

Your responsibilities

• obtain medical clearance before training and follow your doctor’s advice;
• disclose your health history, injuries and limitations honestly, and keep us updated;
• train in a safe space with suitable, well-maintained equipment;
• use appropriate form and load, and stop when something is wrong; and
• keep your account credentials secure and not share them.

Assumption of risk and release

You understand that exercise carries an inherent risk of injury and voluntarily assume that risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Yogi Athletics and Shashank Sharma from any claim arising out of injury, loss or damage connected to your participation, except where caused by our gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Booking, sessions and scheduling

Coaching begins with a movement assessment. We confirm session times by email and expect reasonable notice for rescheduling. Missed sessions and late cancellations are covered by our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Fees and payment

Fees are shown at the point of booking. The assessment is charged upfront and may be applied to your first month if you continue, as described where you book. Ongoing coaching is billed on the cycle agreed when you sign up. Payments are processed by a third-party payment provider; by paying, you also agree to that provider’s terms. Fees are exclusive of any taxes that may apply.

Cancellations and refunds

You may cancel ongoing coaching as set out in our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these terms.

Client accounts

Some features require an account. You are responsible for the activity under your account and for keeping your login confidential. Tell us promptly of any unauthorised use. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms or is used unlawfully.

Intellectual property

The site and all coaching materials — training plans, the exercise library, videos, text, design and branding — are owned by Yogi Athletics or its licensors and are protected by law. When you become a client, we grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the materials we provide for your own training. You may not copy, resell, publish, distribute or share them, or use them to build a competing service, without our written permission.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site: no attempts to disrupt or gain unauthorised access, no scraping or automated harvesting, no unlawful, infringing or harmful activity, and no use of the content beyond the licence above.

Third-party services

We rely on third parties for hosting, authentication, payments, scheduling, email and analytics, and may link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for their content, availability or practices; your use of them is governed by their own terms.

Disclaimers

The service and site are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free or achieve any particular result.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Yogi Athletics and Shashank Sharma will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for any injury, loss or damage arising from your use of the service or participation in any activity we describe. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us for the service in the three months before the claim arose. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under applicable consumer-protection law that cannot lawfully be waived.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Yogi Athletics and Shashank Sharma from claims, damages and costs arising out of your breach of these terms or your misuse of the service.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have jurisdiction over any dispute, without affecting any mandatory rights you have under the law of your own country of residence.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The “effective” date above shows the latest version. Continued use of the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
