These Website Terms of Sale - Online Yoga or Pilates Instruction (B2C) are
designed for teaching of yoga or pilates through the medium of online video
streaming of lessons which are live (one way or two way) or recorded (one
way).
This template provides for use by provider and client of a cloud-based web
conferencing platform (such as Zoom) for video streaming. Most of the provisions specifically relating to teaching through the use of
a video streaming platform are in an attachment to the main body of the
template. If a platform other than Zoom is to be used, the document can
easily be adapted as necessary.
The yoga or pilates teacher may be a self-employed individual (sole
trader), in which case he/she will contract personally on these terms and
conditions with each client. However, where the provider is a company or
partnership which engages teachers/instructors, it will contract with each
client. (Whether the teacher is a sole trader or a company/partnership, it
might typically style itself as a “yoga and pilates studio”.)
The client in each case will be an individual aged 18 or over contracting
as a consumer, not as a business client.
This document provides for either a single session or a series/package of
yoga/pilates sessions to be purchased. It also provides for text/graphics
items relevant to what is being taught to be downloaded (at any time after
any session/s have been purchased) without further charge.
Each session may be in any one or more of the following video-streamed
formats:
(a) Pre-recorded instruction session capable of being accessed at any
time/s by one or more clients. Its nature is such that it is a “one way”
event with no communication between client and teacher. This allows a
client to access the session on demand whenever it is convenient to
him/her; or
(b) Live private class where only a single
client can access it, and it is “two way” so that the teacher and client
can see and hear each other. This session can be tailored to the needs of
the particular client; or
(c) Live “one way” instruction session (where no client can communicate
with the teacher or any other client). This can be accessed by one or more
clients at the same time. If the live session is also recorded by the
teacher, it can then also be made accessible for clients as a session as
outlined at “(a) above; or
(d) Live group class where a number of clients access it at the same time
and it is “two way” so that clients can, in real time, see, hear, and be
seen and heard by the teacher, and, if the teacher permits, each other.
(The yoga or pilates studio will probably need to limit the clients who can
have access on each occasion to a number which is manageable if during the
course of the session the teacher needs to observe each client and/or
provide them with feedback or where each client may need to speak to the
teacher.)
These Terms of Sale anticipate that everything that the provider sells on
these terms will be via its website, will be digital content, and will be provided online.
No tangible items such as textbooks, CDs or DVDs, mats, clothing or other
yoga/pilates equipment or accessories will be supplied on these terms. This document is
only suitable for online teaching. For teaching at a teacher’s studio, not
online, please see the Professional Fitness, Dance and Gym Services Terms
and Conditions.
Under these Terms of Sale, the client has to set up an Account before
purchasing any sessions. He/she can do so without charge and without
committing to purchase any digital content. They can then purchase a
Subscription comprising any online sessions/s offered on your website. So,
for example, a Subscription might comprise a particular single live or
pre-recorded item or a package/series of live and/or pre-recorded items.
The Terms of Sale provide that each Subscription provides access to a
relevant session on a specific date (if live) or during a stated period (if
pre-recorded). The sessions, dates and periods in each case should be
defined on your website in an appropriate place and confirmed in the
client’s order details.
These Terms of Sale guide clients through the order process, explaining the
formation of the contract between you and them for the Subscription, also
setting out details about the digital content and its availability and
provision, pricing, payment and licensing.
Particular attention should be given to content descriptions when selling
digital content. This should be reflected in the definition of “Paid
Content” and elsewhere in these terms and also in the information available
on the website or given to clients before they sign up for a Subscription.
Cancellation rights are addressed in detail in the terms, including the
14-day cooling off period granted to consumers under the 2013 Consumer
Contracts Regulations.
Further key provisions deal with liability, customer complaints (with
reference to complaints handling policies and procedures, templates for
which are also available from Simply-Docs), contact information, and data
protection.
This template applies only to the sale of digital content, leaving the
terms governing the use of the website itself to a separate document.
Optional phrases / clauses are enclosed in square brackets. These should be
read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused
options should be removed from the document.
