Understand before agreeing
Important conditions, prices and limitations should be visible before you book, buy or make a commitment.
Clear conditions for using the website
These Terms explain what you may expect from the website, what is expected when you use it, and where a more specific agreement takes priority.
They sit alongside the Privacy Notice, event and service booking policies, Shop conditions and the separate Practitioner Directory Terms.
The starting point
The website is a doorway into education, events, private work, products and independent practitioner information. Different choices create different commitments.
A general website document cannot replace the practical terms of every retreat, consultation, course, product or practitioner relationship. The documents work together, with the more specific term governing the detail it addresses.
Core commitments
These commitments guide the relationship between general website use and the more specific agreements attached to bookings, purchases and independent practitioner services.
Important conditions, prices and limitations should be visible before you book, buy or make a commitment.
An event, service, product or directory may have additional terms that address the practical details of that particular offer.
Website information supports learning and reflection. It is not individual medical, mental-health, legal or emergency advice.
A booking or registration is not blanket consent to an activity, touch, disclosure, recording or use of personal information.
Original writing, frameworks, images, teaching maps, charts and course materials remain protected intellectual property.
Nothing in these Terms removes a right or remedy that applicable consumer law says cannot be excluded.
Complete details
Open each section for the full wording. The shorter summary is there to help you find the part that matters without reading every clause first.
By using this website, you agree to use it lawfully and with respect for other people, the website’s security and Andrew’s intellectual property. If you do not agree, do not use a transactional feature or submit information through the site.
Andrew may update the website and these Terms as services develop. Material changes apply from the published effective date and do not retrospectively remove rights already acquired under a completed transaction.
Content about sexuality, relationships, anatomy, embodiment, trauma, pleasure and personal development is general educational information. It does not create a practitioner-participant relationship and is not a substitute for individual medical, psychological, psychotherapeutic, legal or other regulated professional advice.
Andrew’s retreats, education and Tantric Body De-armouring work may be trauma-informed, but they are not trauma therapy or crisis care. Seek an appropriately qualified professional or local emergency service when that level of support is needed.
You must be at least 18 years old to book retreats, practitioner training, private sexuality-related services or any other offer marked for adults. Additional suitability requirements may apply and will be stated before registration.
You are responsible for providing information that is accurate enough to administer a booking and assess stated suitability requirements. Acceptance of a booking does not guarantee a particular result, and participation in each activity remains subject to ongoing choice, boundaries and informed consent.
Prices, currency, inclusions, prerequisites, payment schedule, cancellation arrangements and organiser details are shown on the relevant offer or registration page. Those specific terms take priority if they address a practical detail more precisely than these general Website Terms.
The Coaching Booking, Cancellation & Refund Policy applies to Andrew’s coaching, consultation and mentoring services. Retreat, event and practitioner-training terms are presented with the relevant registration form and must be accepted before payment.
Product descriptions, format, variants, price, currency, stock, delivery destinations, shipping charges and estimated timing are shown in the Shop or secure checkout. Availability is not guaranteed until the order is accepted.
Returns, refunds, faulty goods, digital products and personalised items are handled under the terms shown at checkout and the mandatory consumer law that applies to the transaction. Nothing in these Terms limits a non-excludable right concerning defective, misdescribed or undelivered goods or services.
A directory listing confirms only the training or listing information described on the directory pages. It is not a guarantee of suitability for every person or an assumption of responsibility for a practitioner’s independent conduct.
The Practitioner Directory Terms & Independent Practitioner Disclaimer explain how enquiries are relayed and where responsibility sits for assessment, fees, bookings, cancellations, privacy and session delivery.
Unless otherwise stated, Andrew Barnes owns or lawfully uses the website’s text, photographs, illustrations, anatomy charts, maps, graphics, course materials, recordings, trade names and original teaching frameworks. Copyright and other intellectual-property rights remain reserved.
You may view and print a reasonable extract for personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, adapt, translate, distribute, sell, remove attribution from, scrape substantial parts of, or use the content to train a commercial artificial-intelligence system without written permission or another lawful basis.
You must not attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, bypass security or payment controls, overload the service, impersonate another person, submit unlawful or abusive material, harvest personal information, or use automated tools in a way that materially disrupts the website.
Access may be limited or blocked where reasonably necessary to protect people, systems, legal obligations or the integrity of a booking, directory, account or transaction. Suspected security problems should be reported privately rather than exploited or published in a way that increases harm.
Links and connected services may take you to a third-party environment with its own terms, privacy practices and accessibility features. Andrew selects providers for practical purposes but does not control every external page or guarantee that third-party information remains available, accurate or unchanged.
A provider’s terms apply to the part of the service it operates. The Privacy Notice explains the main categories of providers that may receive personal information and why.
Reasonable care is taken with website content and operation, but uninterrupted access, error-free software, permanent availability and a particular personal outcome cannot be promised. Content may be corrected, updated, withdrawn or moved.
To the extent the law permits, Andrew is not responsible for loss caused solely by ordinary reliance on general educational content, third-party systems outside his reasonable control or a user’s unlawful misuse of the site. Nothing excludes liability or a duty that cannot lawfully be excluded, including Andrew’s responsibility for his own acts and operation of the website.
The law applying to a purchase, booking or service may depend on the contracting provider, organiser, place of delivery and mandatory rules protecting the person using the service. Any specific governing-law term will be identified in the relevant agreement and cannot remove protections that the law makes mandatory.
You are welcome to contact Andrew first so a practical issue can be understood and, where possible, resolved. You are not required to give up any available consumer, professional, regulatory, safeguarding, complaint or court pathway by doing so.
How this fits together
These Website Terms are the broad frame. A more specific policy becomes part of the agreement when you book, register, purchase or contact an independent practitioner.
The Privacy Notice governs how personal information is handled. The coaching booking policy governs Andrew’s coaching and mentoring services. Event and training terms sit within their registration forms.
The Practitioner Directory Terms govern the enquiry relay and independent-practitioner boundary. Shop and secure-checkout conditions govern the particular product, delivery, return or digital-access detail shown before payment.
Contact and support
For a question about these Terms, a website problem, permission to reuse material or uncertainty about which specific policy applies, use the contact page or email Andrew. Include the page, product, event or service involved so the question can be answered accurately.
