Effective date: February 24, 2026
Last updated: February 24, 2026

Welcome to Global Spiritual Studies. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at globalspiritualstudies.com and all related services, including online courses, community features, and communications (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Please read these Terms carefully. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use our Services. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, you may only use the Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. By using our Services, you represent that you meet these requirements.

2. Accounts

To purchase courses or access certain features, you must create an account. When you create an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information.
• Keep your login credentials secure and confidential.
• Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or remain inactive for an extended period.

3. Courses and Digital Content

Access: When you purchase a course, you receive a personal, non-transferable license to access that course content through our platform. Course access begins immediately upon successful payment.

Format: Courses consist of pre-recorded video lessons, written materials, and supplementary resources delivered through our learning platform. Course content, structure, and delivery methods may be updated from time to time.

Availability: We make reasonable efforts to keep course content available for as long as possible. In the rare event that a course must be removed (for example, at an instructor’s request), we will provide enrolled students with reasonable notice and, where possible, continued access or an appropriate alternative.

4. Pricing and Payment

Prices: All prices are listed in US dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to change prices at any time, but price changes will not affect orders already completed.

Payment: Payments are processed securely through our third-party payment providers (currently PayPal and Stripe). By making a purchase, you agree to the terms of the applicable payment provider.

Subscriptions and payment plans: Some courses or memberships may be offered on a subscription or installment basis. Subscription terms, billing frequency, and cancellation policies will be clearly stated at the time of purchase. You may cancel a subscription at any time, which will take effect at the end of the current billing period.

Coupons and promotions: Promotional offers and discount codes are subject to their stated terms and expiration dates. They cannot be combined unless explicitly stated, have no cash value, and may be withdrawn at any time.

5. Refund Policy

We want you to feel confident in your purchase. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all course purchases, subject to the following conditions:

• Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of the original purchase date.
• To request a refund, contact us at [email protected] with your order number and reason for the request.
• Refunds will be issued to the original payment method. Please allow up to 14 business days for processing.
• Upon refund, your access to the course will be revoked.

Subscriptions: For subscription-based purchases, you may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds for partial billing periods are not provided unless required by law.

Bundles: Refund requests for course bundles apply to the entire bundle. Individual courses within a bundle cannot be refunded separately.

6. Intellectual Property

Our content: All course materials, videos, written content, graphics, logos, and other materials on our website are the intellectual property of Global Spiritual Studies or our instructors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

Instructor content: Course content is created and owned by the respective instructors. Global Spiritual Studies holds a license to deliver this content through our platform.

Your use: You may access course content for your personal, non-commercial educational use only. You may not:

• Copy, reproduce, distribute, or share course materials with others.
• Record, download, or capture video or audio content (unless a downloadable version is explicitly provided).
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit any course content.
• Remove or alter any copyright notices or attributions.
• Use course content to create competing products or services.

Violation of these terms may result in immediate termination of your access without refund.

Our platform may include community features such as forums, discussion groups, and student profiles. When participating in community features, you agree to:

• Treat all members with respect and courtesy.
• Keep discussions relevant, constructive, and on-topic.
• Respect the diverse spiritual paths and perspectives represented in our community.
• Refrain from posting content that is hateful, harassing, threatening, defamatory, or discriminatory.

We reserve the right to remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these guidelines, at our sole discretion.

8. User-Generated Content

When you post content in our forums or community spaces (comments, discussions, reviews), you retain ownership of your content but grant Global Spiritual Studies a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display, reproduce, and distribute that content within our platform for the purpose of operating and improving our Services.

You are solely responsible for the content you post and represent that you have the right to share it. We do not endorse or verify user-generated content.

9. Chatbot and AI Features

Our website may include an AI-powered chatbot to help you with course recommendations, support questions, and general inquiries. The chatbot is provided as a convenience and its responses are generated automatically. While we strive for accuracy, chatbot responses should not be relied upon as professional advice. Interactions with the chatbot are subject to our Privacy Policy.

10. Important Disclaimers

Our courses cover topics including Tarot, Kabbalah, Lenormand, shamanic practices, Druidry, meditation, dream interpretation, psychic development, and related subjects.

Not professional advice: Nothing on this website or in our courses constitutes or should be interpreted as:

• Medical or health advice
• Psychological or psychiatric counseling

• A substitute for professional therapy, medical treatment, or mental health services

Seek professional help when needed: If you are experiencing a medical, psychological, or emotional crisis, please contact a qualified healthcare professional or emergency services immediately. Our courses and instructors do not provide diagnoses, treatment plans, or clinical interventions.

Personal responsibility: Your use of the knowledge, techniques, and practices taught in our courses is entirely at your own discretion and risk. Individual results and experiences will vary. We make no guarantees about specific outcomes from studying our course materials.

You may also close your account at any time by contacting us.

16. Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises from your use of our Services, we encourage you to contact us first at [email protected] so we can attempt to resolve it informally. We are committed to resolving disputes fairly and in good faith. If we are unable to reach a resolution, both parties agree to pursue resolution through mediation before initiating any formal legal proceedings.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
