2. What we sell

We sell downloadable digital yoga education products: illustrated PDF guides and structured home-practice programmes written for absolute beginners by a qualified yoga teacher. Our current range is:

• Foundations: Beginner's Pose Library, an illustrated reference to roughly 50 beginner-friendly poses.
• The 30-Day Beginner Journey, a structured 30-day beginner programme.
• Yoga for Stress & Sleep, a focused mini-course on yoga for stress relief and sleep.
• Complete Bundle, all three guides at a reduced price.

Every product is a once-off purchase of a digital file. There is no subscription, no membership, and no recurring billing of any kind. We never store your card details and we will never bill you again without a new purchase initiated by you.

3. Prices and payment

All prices are shown on the products page in South African Rand (ZAR) and include VAT where applicable. The price displayed at the moment you check out is the price you pay. We may change prices at any time, but a change will never affect an order you have already paid for.

Payment is processed by Payfast by Network (Pty) Ltd. You will be redirected to Payfast's secure environment to complete your payment. We do not see, handle or store your card or banking details at any point. Payfast handles that entirely, and only tells us whether the payment succeeded.

4. Delivery

Delivery is electronic and automatic. As soon as Payfast confirms your payment, we email a secure, personalised download link to the email address you gave at checkout. This normally arrives within a few minutes.

Your download link is valid for 7 days from purchase, so please save the file somewhere safe once you have downloaded it. If the link expires before you have used it, or the email never arrives, email us at domcatto@gmail.com and we will issue a fresh link at no charge.

It is your responsibility to give us a working email address at checkout. If you mistype it, contact us and we will resend to the corrected address once we can confirm the purchase.

5. Refunds and cancellation

Refunds are dealt with fully in our Refund Policy, which forms part of these terms.

6. Licence to use our guides

When you buy a guide, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it for your own private practice. You may download it, keep it, and print a copy for yourself.

You may not:

• resell, sub-licence, rent or otherwise distribute the guide, in whole or in part;
• share your download link, or copies of the files, with anyone else;
• upload the content to any website, file-sharing service, app or social platform;
• reproduce the content in your own teaching materials, courses or classes without our written permission; or
• remove or alter any copyright or attribution notices.

All copyright, trade marks and other intellectual property in the guides, the written content, the illustrations and this website remain ours. Buying a guide buys you the right to use it, not ownership of it.

7. Health and safety disclaimer

Our guides are educational material, not medical advice. We are yoga teachers, not doctors, physiotherapists or other healthcare professionals, and nothing we publish is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.

Yoga is physical activity and carries a risk of injury. Before you begin any programme in our guides, please consult a doctor or a suitably qualified healthcare professional, particularly if you are pregnant, recently postpartum, recovering from injury or surgery, or living with any medical condition.

Practise within your own limits. Stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness or discomfort, and seek medical attention where appropriate. Because you practise unsupervised and at your own pace, you take responsibility for your own safety, and you use the guides at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by South African law, we are not liable for any injury, loss or damage arising from your use of the guides.

8. Availability of the website

We work to keep yogaforbeginners.co.za available and accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site, or any product, at any time. If we withdraw a product you have already bought, your download link and your licence to use it are not affected.

9. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Subject to that, our total liability to you for any claim arising from a purchase is limited to the amount you paid us for the product concerned. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

10. Privacy

We handle your personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 ("POPIA"). See our Privacy Policy for exactly what we collect and why.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the moment you buy is the version that applies to your purchase. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa, and you and we submit to the jurisdiction of the South African courts.

13. Contact us

For anything at all: a question before you buy, a problem with a download, or a complaint, email domcatto@gmail.com or call +27 82 856 4594. We aim to respond within 2 business days. Full details are on our contact page.
