Terms of Service

• You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding agreement.
• Provide accurate information and keep it current.
• Keep your email account, passkeys, sessions, booking links, and join links secure.
• Your account is personal. A minor may attend through an adult-managed booking and with appropriate adult supervision.
• Tell us promptly if you believe your account or a private link was misused.

Orven provides tools for approved independent teachers to publish classes, accept reservations, communicate with attendees, and teach live online. Students can reserve a seat, join their class, take notes, and leave feedback.

Teachers provide the instruction. They are independent and are not employees, agents, partners, or representatives of Orven. We do not direct their teaching or guarantee their qualifications, statements, results, or conduct.

• Review the class description, schedule, and suitability before booking.
• A reservation is confirmed only when the confirmation screen or message appears.
• A seat is for the named attendee. Do not share or resell a booking or join link.
• You are responsible for a compatible device, internet connection, and joining on time.
• Follow reasonable teacher instructions and respect the privacy and participation of everyone in the class.

Classes are free during the founding beta. If paid classes become available, the price, fees, cancellation terms, and refund policy shown before you book will also form part of this agreement. Payment details will be handled by a payment service. A paid class cancelled by the teacher will be eligible for a full refund, subject to processing time outside our control.

If you are approved to teach, you are responsible for:

• Accurate class titles, descriptions, schedules, capacity, and prices.
• Delivering booked classes with reasonable care and giving notice of changes.
• The quality, safety, legality, and suitability of your instruction and content.
• Any licenses, qualifications, permissions, insurance, or taxes you need.
• Respecting attendee privacy and using their information only to run the class.
• Owning or having permission to use everything you publish or share.

Repeated cancellations, misleading listings, unsafe conduct, or misuse of attendee information may result in class removal or loss of creator access.

Live classes may involve movement, physical activity, meditation, personal discussion, or other activities with individual risks. Participate voluntarily, stay within your abilities, follow applicable safety guidance, and stop if you feel unwell or unsafe.

The service and classes are not emergency services and do not replace medical, mental health, legal, financial, or other licensed professional advice. Seek an appropriate professional when you need one.

Your name, audio, video, screen share, reactions, and class messages may be visible to other people in the room. Do not record, photograph, stream, or redistribute a class or another participant without clear permission.

You may not use the service to:

• Break the law, facilitate harm, or threaten anyone's safety.
• Share sexual, exploitative, abusive, hateful, harassing, or deceptive content.
• Impersonate someone, misrepresent qualifications, or commit fraud.
• Infringe privacy, publicity, copyright, trademark, or other rights.
• Provide medical or emergency services through the platform.
• Share private access, evade capacity controls, interfere with the service, or test its security without written permission.
• Upload malicious code, scrape the service, or use it to send spam.

You keep ownership of content you create. You give Orven a limited, worldwide license to host, process, display, and transmit that content only as needed to operate, protect, and improve the service. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for protected backups, legal requirements, or content already shared with others.

The service, brand, interface, and original materials provided by Orven are owned by us or our licensors. These terms do not give you ownership of them. You may not copy, resell, or misuse them except as the service expressly allows.

We may remove content, cancel access, restrict features, or suspend an account when we reasonably believe it is necessary for safety, legal compliance, service integrity, or a violation of these terms. We will provide notice when reasonably possible, but may act immediately when delay could cause harm.

You may stop using the service at any time and may request account deletion. Sections that must reasonably continue, including ownership, payment obligations, disclaimers, liability limits, and dispute terms, survive account closure.

The service is evolving and may change. We work to keep it reliable, but do not promise uninterrupted access, a particular video quality, or that every feature will always be available. We are not responsible for failures caused by your device, connection, or services outside our reasonable control.

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide reasonable notice before it takes effect. Using the service after that date means you accept the updated terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and without warranties that are not expressly stated here. Orven is not responsible for the acts, omissions, advice, content, or results of teachers or students.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Orven will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Our total liability for claims related to the service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to Orven in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim or $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limits. In those places, these terms apply only to the extent permitted, and mandatory consumer rights remain intact.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that is not subject to mandatory local consumer law will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Seattle, Washington.
