Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the CEL Corporate Wellness platform (the “Platform”) provided by the Center for Evolutionary Learning organization (“CEL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

Your use of the Platform is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information.

1. Who can use the Platform

Access to the Platform is provided through an organization that has partnered with CEL. You must be an adult, be authorized by your organization to participate, and use a valid work email address that belongs to that organization’s approved domain. HR administrators are responsible for managing their organization’s participants in accordance with these Terms.

Your organization may manage your access to the Platform, including creating, modifying, suspending, or removing your access. If your employment or authorization ends, your access may also end.

2. The service

CEL is a non-profit organization. The Platform offers secular, expert-led live meditation and wellness sessions, scheduling and RSVP tools, reminders, and a content library. The Platform is provided free of charge. We may add, change, or discontinue features at any time. We do not guarantee that the Platform or any particular feature will remain available or continue indefinitely.

3. Your account

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Accounts are personal and may not be shared with others.
• You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.
• You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations while using the Platform.
• You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account unless caused by our own negligence or misconduct.
• You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform for any unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purpose;
• Disrupt or interfere with the Platform’s operation or security, or attempt to gain unauthorized access;
• Harass, abuse, or harm other participants, instructors, or staff;
• Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code;
• Record, reproduce, or redistribute sessions or library content without permission; or
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

5. Session conduct

To help maintain a respectful and productive environment, participants must comply with reasonable directions from instructors and moderators during live sessions. Participants are responsible for their associated display name and, where applicable, profile image displayed during live sessions. If the video conferencing service allows you to modify this information, you should choose information that reflects the level of privacy you wish to maintain. CEL may remove participants from a session, temporarily or permanently suspend participation, or take other appropriate action if conduct is disruptive, abusive, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms or the intended purpose of the Platform.

6. Content

Session materials, recordings, and the content library are owned by CEL or its licensors, are protected by applicable intellectual property laws, and are provided for your personal wellness use only.

You may not copy, distribute, or create derivative works from them except as expressly permitted. Any feedback you provide may be used by CEL to improve the Platform without obligation to you. CEL names, logos, trademarks, and branding may not be used without prior written permission. Except for the limited right to use the Platform in accordance with these Terms, no rights or licenses are granted by implication or otherwise.

7. User-generated content

The Platform may allow you to submit content, including chat messages, comments, discussion posts, questions, or other materials (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content, but by submitting it through the Platform, you grant CEL a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, display, reproduce, and use your User Content as reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, improve, provide, promote, and market the Platform and CEL’s services, including by reproducing and displaying anonymized excerpts of User Content in promotional and marketing materials. CEL may remove names and other direct identifying information before using User Content for promotional purposes and intends to use anonymized excerpts whenever reasonably practicable.

You are solely responsible for the User Content you submit. You represent and warrant that your User Content is accurate to the best of your knowledge, does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party, and that you have all rights necessary to submit it and grant the license described in these Terms.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, remove, or restrict User Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, infringes the rights of others, or is otherwise inappropriate.

8. Third-party services

The Platform relies on third-party services (for example, for authentication, hosting, email, and video conferencing). Your use of those services may also be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. Third-party services are provided independently of CEL, and we do not control and are not responsible for their availability, security, functionality, or policies, including any interruption or discontinuation of those services.

9. Compliance with export and sanctions laws

You may not use the Platform if doing so would violate applicable export control, sanctions, or trade laws. You represent that you are not prohibited from receiving the Platform under applicable laws.

10. Wellness disclaimer — not medical advice

CEL sessions and content are provided for general wellness and educational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or mental-health advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of a qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical or mental-health condition. Participation is voluntary; if you have a health condition, consult a professional before taking part.

If you believe you are experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.

11. Electronic communications

By using the Platform, you agree to receive communications electronically, including notices relating to your account and these Terms.

12. No professional relationship

Participation in sessions does not create a physician-patient, therapist-patient, counselor-client, fiduciary, or similar professional relationship.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any defects will be corrected.

14. Force majeure

CEL is not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including internet outages, failures of third-party providers, natural disasters, labor disputes, governmental actions, public health emergencies, or similar events.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CEL and its officers, directors, employees, instructors, volunteers, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business interruption, data, or other intangible losses arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Platform, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Because the Platform is provided free of charge, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CEL’s total liability arising out of or relating to the Platform or these Terms shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

16. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless CEL and its officers, directors, employees, instructors, volunteers, licensors, and service providers from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Platform, or your infringement of the rights of any third party.

17. Termination

You may stop using the Platform at any time. We may investigate suspected violations of these Terms and may suspend, restrict, or terminate access immediately where reasonably necessary to protect participants, instructors, the Platform, or comply with applicable law. Termination of your access does not affect any provisions of these Terms that are intended to survive termination, including those relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and governing law.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

19. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, excluding conflict-of-laws rules. Any legal action relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

20. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. CEL may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of substantially all of its assets or operations.

21. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

22. No waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

23. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and CEL regarding your use of the Platform and supersede any prior understandings relating to the Platform.
