If you use Nicole AI, we may provide access through included monthly credits on eligible Premium membership plans and purchased top-up credits (collectively, "Nicole AI Credits").
You may purchase specific Courses, Programs or other content without a membership plan. For such purchases:
We may remove or modify content available on the Site due to licensing agreements, legal obligations, technical considerations, or at our discretion. If the content you have purchased or accessed through membership or purchase is removed, we will provide reasonable notice and, where possible, an alternative means of access or equivalent value replacement.

Some of our Content may be offered in limited territories, and we may use geofiltering technology to restrict access outside of those territories.
Fees for purchased content, membership plans, subscriptions, and other services will be stated at the time of your purchase or sign-up, as applicable, and provided in our help pages. The fees for membership plans may change at any time. Fees may be subject to tax, collected by us or a third party through which you transact, and are non-refundable except in the specific circumstances described in these Terms.

If your membership plan or subscription involves a recurring payment of a fee unless you notify us before a charge that you want to cancel or do not want to automatically renew your membership or subscription, you understand it will automatically continue and you authorize us, or a third party through which you transact (without notice to you, unless required by applicable law) to collect the then-applicable fees and any taxes, using any credit card we have on record for you.
If all credit cards we have on file for you are declined for payment of your membership or subscription fees, we will cancel your membership or subscription, as applicable, unless you provide us with a new credit card.

If you cancel your membership or subscription, you will not receive a refund of any fees already paid.

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally-agreed upon standard for what a company should do when it detects a DNT signal. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. You can learn more about Do Not Track here.

The Platform chat community is a group of people with a shared interest in the principles and practices of Eros as they relate to our lives and relationships. The central practice of Eros is Orgasmic Meditation (OM). You can find out more about OM at the Institute of OM website. You do not need to be an OM practitioner to participate in this community, but because the philosophy of Eros is rooted in the practice of OM it is instructive. You can find out more about the Principles of Eros on our About page. These principles underpin this platform, from the classes, to content and to all posts, comments and discussion groups (the “chatboard” or “chatboards”), so take some time to familiarize yourself with them. OM is a co-created experience. Similarly, the movement or community around OM has always been co-created. This chatboard is intended to facilitate co-creation. And to provide a framework for contribution and creation. Similar chatboards and shared spaces for communication have been essential to the growth of the practice since its inception, and taking advantage of the internet, and many have learned so much from the experience of their peers. OM itself is a feedback loop, and this chatboard is a digital extension of the feedback loop that occurs in OM. The principles below are there to ensure that there is opt in to shared principles. If you find you are not on board with these, there are other spaces for discussion. We can’t wait to create with you.
