3. Educational and Wellness Disclaimer

EBDT Institute provides education, training, and information intended to support understanding, personal development, and practitioner learning.

Content may explore relationships among physical, emotional, mental, energetic, spiritual, and behavioral experiences.

Our educational content and services are not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, mental health care, or other licensed healthcare services.

EBDT™ and related frameworks should not be interpreted as guaranteed methods for diagnosing, treating, curing, or preventing medical or psychological conditions.

Individual experiences and outcomes vary.

Participants should consult appropriately qualified healthcare professionals regarding medical conditions, medications, treatment decisions, and other health-related concerns.

Participation in Institute activities does not establish a physician-patient, therapist-client, or other licensed healthcare relationship with EBDT Institute.

Nothing in these Terms authorizes a participant to practice a regulated profession without the licenses or qualifications required by applicable law.

4. Eligibility and Account Registration

Our public educational services and memberships are primarily intended for adults age 18 or older.

Certain activities or features may have additional eligibility requirements.

When creating an account, you agree to provide accurate information and maintain the security of your login credentials.

You are responsible for activities conducted through your account, except where responsibility is otherwise allocated by applicable law.

You agree to notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

Accounts are intended for individual use unless we expressly authorize another arrangement.

You may not share account credentials or allow unauthorized individuals to access restricted educational content.

5. Memberships and Access Levels

EBDT Institute may offer different membership and educational access levels, including Free Community, Healers Circle, Training, Certification, and Alumni participation.

Each level provides access to designated features, resources, events, and community spaces.

Access may depend on enrollment status, payment status, eligibility, program completion, or other applicable requirements.

Participation in one membership level does not automatically provide access to every Institute program or service.

Specific membership benefits, pricing, renewal terms, cancellation rights, and access conditions will be described in the applicable enrollment or purchase materials.

We may modify membership features prospectively, subject to applicable agreements and legal requirements.

6. Training and Certification Programs

EBDT Institute offers educational pathways designed to develop understanding and practical application of EBDT™ principles and techniques.

Enrollment in practitioner training does not automatically confer certification.

Practitioner certification may require additional coursework, assessments, practice experiences, case requirements, demonstrated competencies, or other criteria established by the Institute.

Specific requirements will be described in the applicable program materials and agreements.

Certification, where awarded, represents completion of EBDT Institute's requirements. It does not constitute a government-issued professional license or authorization to perform activities regulated by law.

Certified practitioners remain responsible for complying with applicable professional, licensing, advertising, privacy, and scope-of-practice requirements.

The Institute may establish and enforce reasonable standards concerning the use of its certification designations and professional materials.

Additional terms may apply to certification status, renewal, ongoing access, and use of Institute credentials.

7. Purchases, Payments, and Subscriptions

Some Institute services are free, while others require payment.

Paid services may include memberships, training, certification, events, subscriptions, and other educational offerings.

Applicable prices, payment schedules, recurring billing terms, and material purchase conditions will be disclosed during enrollment or checkout.

When you authorize recurring payments, you agree to the specific payment terms presented and accepted at the time of purchase.

Material changes to payment obligations will be handled according to applicable law and the governing agreement, including obtaining additional authorization where required.

Refunds, cancellations, payment-plan changes, failed-payment procedures, and program transitions are governed by the applicable purchase terms or program agreements.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, purchasing one service does not guarantee lifetime access to all Institute services or future offerings.

We may use third-party payment processors to process transactions securely.

8. Community Participation and Conduct

EBDT Institute provides community environments intended to encourage respectful learning, thoughtful conversation, professional development, and meaningful connection.

Participants agree to:

• Communicate respectfully with other members.
• Respect the privacy and personal experiences of others.
• Avoid harassment, threats, discrimination, intimidation, or abusive behavior.
• Refrain from sharing another person's confidential information without appropriate authorization.
• Avoid unsolicited advertising, spam, or unauthorized solicitation.
• Respect the intellectual property and educational materials of the Institute and other participants.
• Use community spaces for their intended educational and relational purposes.

Community members may express personal beliefs, interpretations, or experiences that differ from those of others.

Participants are expected to engage constructively and respect those differences.

We may moderate content, remove inappropriate material, restrict participation, or suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect the community, enforce these Terms, or comply with applicable law.

9. Personal Experiences and Sensitive Discussions

Educational activities and community conversations may involve personal history, emotional experiences, wellness concerns, or sensitive topics.

Participation in personal sharing is voluntary unless a particular educational activity expressly states otherwise.

Participants are encouraged to use discretion when deciding what to share.

Although we expect members to respect confidentiality, EBDT Institute cannot guarantee that other participants will maintain the confidentiality of information voluntarily disclosed in group environments.

Participants should avoid sharing identifying information about clients, family members, or other individuals without appropriate consent.

10. Practitioner Responsibilities and Scope of Practice

Practitioners and students participating in EBDT Institute programs are responsible for exercising appropriate professional judgment and complying with applicable laws and professional standards.

Participation in Institute education does not expand a participant's legally authorized scope of practice.

Practitioners are responsible for:

• Obtaining appropriate informed consent.
• Maintaining suitable client records and confidentiality.
• Following applicable privacy and professional requirements.
• Recognizing situations requiring referral to licensed healthcare professionals.
• Communicating accurately about their training, credentials, and services.
• Avoiding unsupported guarantees or misleading claims about outcomes.

Institute educational materials do not substitute for the participant's independent legal, clinical, or professional responsibilities.

Authorized students and practitioners may use designated materials within the permissions provided by their applicable program agreements.

Any permission to use Institute names, marks, professional designations, or practitioner resources is subject to applicable authorization and usage standards.

References to trademarks do not represent a claim that every identified mark is federally registered.

We will obtain additional consent where required for uses beyond ordinary educational delivery.

Participants may not independently record, distribute, or publish private Institute sessions without appropriate authorization.

We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary due to serious violations of these Terms, misuse of the platform, security concerns, unlawful activity, or other legitimate grounds.

Where appropriate, we may provide notice and an opportunity to address an issue before termination.

Suspension or termination does not automatically eliminate payment obligations validly incurred under a separate agreement.

Any applicable refund, cancellation, or access rights remain subject to governing agreements and law.

Users may request account closure by contacting support@ebdtinstitute.com, subject to outstanding obligations and lawful retention requirements.

18. No Guarantees of Results

EBDT Institute is committed to providing thoughtful educational experiences and practitioner development opportunities.

However, we do not guarantee particular health, personal, professional, financial, business, or certification outcomes.

Individual results depend on numerous factors, including participation, circumstances, prior experience, and applicable program requirements.

Testimonials and examples reflect individual experiences and should not be interpreted as promises of similar outcomes.
