Michigan Yoga Association Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: 5/15/2026

Last Updated: 5/15/2026

Welcome—we’re so glad you’re here.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are here to help set clear expectations for how our website, events, and offerings work. By using our site, registering for events, or making a donation or purchase, you agree to these Terms.

If you ever have questions, we’re always happy to help. Just reach out via the submission form on our Contact Us page.


1. General use

By using this website, you agree to:

  • Use it for lawful purposes only

  • Provide accurate information when registering or making a purchase

  • Respect our community, both online and in person

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the site means you accept those updates.

2. Donations

One-time donations

We are deeply grateful for your support. If you need to request a refund:

  • Please contact us within 30 of your donation.

  • Approved refunds will be processed through our payment system.

Refunds are issued at our discretion, but we aim to be fair and understanding. Please note that original transaction fees from credit card processing are non-refundable.

Recurring donations

Recurring gifts are managed through our platform, Givebutter. When you set up a recurring donation, you may be prompted to create or use a Givebutter account. You can log in at any time to update or cancel your donation.

If you need help accessing or adjusting your recurring gift, contact us and we’ll point you in the right direction.

3. Event tickets and registration

Refunds

MYA does not support refunds for event attendance, but tickets may be transferred to another person if you’re unable to attend.

If you transfer your ticket:

  • You are responsible for notifying us of the change.

  • You (or the new attendee) must update any relevant details, such as meal selections, shirt sizes, accessibility needs, or other preferences if selected at time of ticket purchase.

We’ll do our best to accommodate updates, but changes may not always be possible close to the event date.

4. Sponsorships

Sponsorships are a meaningful way to support our work while gaining visibility for your business or organization. Because sponsorships involve reserved placements, promotions, and planning, sponsorship purchases are generally non-refundable.

That said:

  • We are committed to delivering the benefits outlined in your selected sponsorship tier

  • If we are unable to fulfill a key deliverable (such as promotional posts or agreed visibility), we will work with you in good faith to provide a reasonable alternative or make it right in a way that aligns with the spirit of the agreement.

Our goal is always fairness, transparency, and strong community partnerships.

5. Payments

All payments are processed securely through the following third-party providers, and we do not store your full credit card information:

  • Givebutter for event management, donations, and email marketing

  • Stripe and/or PayPal for secure payment processing

6. Health and participation waivers

Some of our events involve physical activity, including Yoga and movement practices.

By participating, you acknowledge that:

  • You are voluntarily taking part in these activities

  • You are responsible for listening to your body and practicing within your limits

Participation may require signing a liability waiver in accordance with applicable guidelines (including those in Michigan). Such releases will be provided during your digital checkout registration process, in a followup email, or in person the day of the event. If you do not complete the required waiver, you may not be able to participate.

7. Media and photo release

We love sharing the energy of our community. At some events, we may take photos or videos for promotional use (website, social media, print, etc.). When applicable, we will request your permission through an optional media release. If you prefer not to be photographed or recorded, you can let us know, and we will always respect your wishes.


8. Event changes or cancellations

Sometimes plans change. We reserve the right to:

  • Modify event details (time, location, instructors, etc.)

  • Cancel events due to low attendance, weather, or unforeseen circumstances

If we cancel an event, you will be notified and offered a refund or alternative option where applicable. Our goal is always to minimize inconvenience and make our events as accessible and enjoyable as possible.


9. Intellectual property

All content on this website—including text, images, branding, and materials—is owned by or licensed to us. Please don’t copy, reproduce, or use our content without permission.


10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages related to your use of our website, events, or services.

We care deeply about your experience and safety, and we do our best to create a positive and supportive environment.


11. Privacy

Your use of this site is also governed by our Privacy Policy.
