Inner Forest School is a website specialised in providing contents on the topics of meditation, mindfulness, wellbeing, and nature-based spirituality which may include, but are not limited to, trainings, courses, audio or video files, templates and scripts, or other curriculum assets and resources.

2. Course Access, Refund, and Renewal Clause 

Upon registration and payment for any certification course (whether paid in full or beginning with a first installment payment), users are granted access to course materials and content for as long as the course remains active and available. Inner Forest School makes no guarantee as to the duration of any course's availability, and courses may be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of Inner Forest School and its owners.

For all certification courses, students have 365 days to submit all homework requirements for certification review, at no additional fee. For self-paced (non-cohort) courses, this 365-day period begins on the date of enrollment, defined as the date of first payment or full payment, whichever comes first. For cohort-based courses, this 365-day period begins on the official start date of the cohort in which the student is enrolled. Submissions received after this 365-day window are not guaranteed to be accepted.

ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR ALL CERTIFICATION COURSES

These Additional Terms apply to each and all of the certification programs offered by Gillian Florence Sanger and the Inner Forest School, including but not limited to the Guided Imagery Teacher Certification, the Nature Meditation Teacher Certification, and the Inner Nature Writing™ Certification (each, individually and collectively, the “Program”). By enrolling in, participating in, purchasing, or accessing any Program, you (“the Participant”) acknowledge and agree to the following terms. These Additional Terms are in addition to, and form part of, the Inner Forest School Terms of Use above. Where these Additional Terms conflict with the general Terms of Use with respect to a Program, these Additional Terms control; in all other respects the general Terms of Use continue to apply.

1. Educational Purposes Only: Each Program is offered solely for educational and personal-development purposes. No Program constitutes, and nothing in any Program should be construed as, medical, psychological, therapeutic, or clinical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The content is not intended to replace professional healthcare or mental-health support, nor does it train, qualify, or authorize the Participant to offer anything that replaces professional healthcare or mental-health support. Participation does not create any practitioner—client, therapeutic, clinical, or fiduciary relationship between you and Gillian Florence Sanger or the Inner Forest School.

2. Voluntary Participation, Assumption of Risk, and Personal Responsibility: Your participation in any Program is entirely voluntary. You knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks — whether physical, emotional, psychological, financial, reputational, or otherwise — associated with your participation and with your use or application of the practices, tools, techniques, or materials shared. You are solely responsible for how you choose to apply the teachings in your personal or professional life, and you assume full responsibility for any outcomes that may result from your use, adaptation, or dissemination of them.

3. No Guarantee of Results: While each Program is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation in its subject matter, we make no representations, warranties, or guarantees of any kind regarding specific results, income, revenue, business success, professional advancement, client outcomes, or any other outcome following participation or certification. Any examples of results are illustrative only and are not a promise of your results.

4. Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that Gillian Florence Sanger and the Inner Forest School, together with their respective owners, affiliates, instructors, guest speakers, contractors, assistants, and agents (the “Program Parties”), shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits or lost opportunities, arising out of or relating to your enrollment or participation in any Program or your use of the materials in any personal or professional setting, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, warranty, or any other theory, and even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of the Program Parties for any and all claims arising out of or relating to any Program will not exceed the amount you actually paid to the Inner Forest School for that Program. Nothing in these Additional Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

5. Indemnification: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Program Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to your actions, omissions, business practices, or your facilitation, teaching, or delivery of any sessions, practices, or techniques drawn from or related to any Program.

6. Use of Certification: Upon successful completion of a Program and satisfaction of all requirements (including payment in full), you may refer to yourself as certified in the corresponding discipline through the Inner Forest School — for example, as a Certified Guided Imagery Teacher, a Certified Nature Meditation Teacher, or a Certified Inner Nature Writing™ practitioner, as applicable to the Program(s) you completed. Certification reflects completion of the applicable Program only. It does not license, qualify, or authorize you to practice psychotherapy, counseling, medicine, or any other form of regulated healthcare, and you may not represent otherwise unless you independently hold the required license or credential. You may not use any Inner Forest School name, mark, or certification title in any manner that is false, misleading, or likely to imply endorsement, affiliation, or qualifications beyond the certification you have actually earned.

7. Intellectual Property: All materials provided in any Program — including recordings, curricula, scripts, worksheets, templates, and other assets — are and remain the intellectual property of Gillian Florence Sanger and/or the Inner Forest School. You may use these materials for your own personal and professional growth, but you may not reproduce, distribute, publish, resell, sublicense, or teach them as your own, or use them to create or support a competing training, course, or certification, without our express prior written permission.

Exception: You may lead or deliver the written meditation scripts and guided practices provided in a Program to your own clients or participants as part of your own facilitation, as if they were your own. You may not, however, sell, license, publish, or distribute those scripts or practices in written or recorded form, whether in their original or a modified state.

8. Scope of Practice: You agree to offer sessions, facilitation, and teaching only within the scope of your own competence, training, and any qualifications or licenses you hold; to comply with all laws, regulations, and licensing or registration requirements applicable to you in your own jurisdiction; and to refer clients or participants to appropriately qualified licensed professionals whenever their needs exceed your competence or scope.

9. Certification May Be Withheld or Revoked: We reserve the right, in our sole and reasonable discretion, to withhold, suspend, or revoke certification, or to decline to review submissions, where a Participant has not met all Program requirements, has not completed payment in full, has breached these Additional Terms or the general Terms of Use, or has engaged in conduct that we reasonably determine to be unsafe, unlawful, or damaging to the reputation or integrity of the Inner Forest School or its certifications.

10. Survival: The provisions of these Additional Terms that by their nature should survive the completion of a Program or the termination of your access — including those concerning assumption of risk, no guarantee of results, limitation of liability, indemnification, intellectual property, and scope of practice — will survive.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: These Additional Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Sweden, and any disputes will be resolved through the appropriate legal channels in that jurisdiction, consistent with the Dispute Resolution and Governing Law provisions of the general Terms of Use above. Some jurisdictions, including those in the European Union, have consumer-protection laws that provide certain mandatory protections in favor of the user; nothing in these Additional Terms overrides any such protections that apply to you.
