(herein referred to as “AIR”, “we”, “us”, and “our”). These Terms constitute a fully binding agreement between AIR and you, the user of the Site (referred to herein as “you” and “your”), so please read them carefully. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by, and comply with, the terms and conditions contained herein, and our Privacy Policy found at [https://air-institutes.com/privacy-policy/]

AIR reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to revise and update these Terms from time to time. The date on which these Terms were last updated will appear at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after any such modifications constitutes your acceptance of, and your agreement to be bound by the new Terms. You should periodically review these Terms so that you are aware of any revision to which you are bound. If you do not agree to the Terms or the Privacy Policy at any point, you may not access or use the Site.

AIR may immediately terminate these Terms and/or cease offering or deny access to the Site or any portion thereof, at any time, for any or no reason.

Description

The Site is designed to provide you solely with general information with respect to mental fitness and resilience. AIR is not a healthcare provider and it cannot give you medical advice or diagnose or treat medical conditions. The Site is not a form of medical, psychological, or psychiatric treatment for a disease, condition, or illness, and use of the Site is not a substitute for any treatment methods that licensed medical or mental healthcare practitioners might recommend. If you require medical or mental health treatment, call your local emergency number or contact your healthcare provider.

 Accounts

 To access and use the Site, you will need to register an account (“Account”). The only information you need to submit in order to open an Account is an active email address. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password associated with your Account and accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your Account. AIR endeavours to use reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to your Account but AIR cannot guarantee absolute security of your Account or your Content and cannot promise that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally accessing your Account. If you become aware that there has been, or have reason to suspect that there may be, unauthorized use of your Account, or any other breach of security, you agree to immediately notify AIR at [[email protected]] and to immediately take all necessary steps to prevent such unauthorized access, including changing your password.

 AIR reserves the right at any time and from time to time, to disable or terminate your Account, any user name, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including any violation of any provision of these Terms.
