1. Overview
This website and online store are operated by Osho Shin. Throughout these Terms of Service, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the legal operator of Osho Shin.
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of our website, store, content, products, digital materials, physical products, and related services collectively referred to as the “Services.”
Our store is hosted through Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform that enables us to offer products and Services to you.
By visiting our website, placing an order, purchasing a product, accessing digital content, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms of Service and our other policies, including our Privacy Policy, Return and Refund Policy, and Shipping Policy.
If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use the Services.
2. Eligibility
You represent that you are at least the age of majority in your country or place of residence, or that you are using the Services with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
You must not use our products or Services for unlawful or unauthorized purposes.

We may sell:

Digital ebooks and downloadable materials;

Online lectures, videos, and other digital content;

Printed books and other physical products; and

Other products or services described on the store.
Product descriptions, photographs, previews, dimensions, page counts, formats, availability, and other information are provided in good faith.
Colors and visual details may appear differently depending on the customer’s screen, device, lighting conditions, printing process, and paper characteristics.
We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any product or Service without prior notice, subject to our obligations regarding orders already accepted.
4. Educational and Informational Content
Content relating to Zen, Buddhism, mindfulness, meditation, emotional wellbeing, relationships, work, or personal development is provided for general educational and informational purposes.
Our content is not medical, psychiatric, psychological, legal, financial, or other professional advice. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or mental-health condition and should not be used as a substitute for professional care.
Individual experiences and results vary. We do not guarantee any particular emotional, spiritual, health, financial, professional, or personal outcome.
5. Orders and Acceptance
Submitting an order does not necessarily mean that we have accepted it.
We may refuse, limit, or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including in cases involving:
-
Suspected fraud or unauthorized payment;
-
Incorrect pricing or product information;
-
Product unavailability;
-
Shipping restrictions;
-
Technical errors;
-
Breach of these Terms; or
-
Orders that appear to be placed for unauthorized resale or redistribution.
If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will refund the applicable amount to the original payment method.
6. Prices, Taxes, and Payment
Prices are displayed in the currency shown on the store.
Shipping charges, taxes, customs duties, import fees, and other applicable charges may be added at checkout or charged separately by government authorities, carriers, banks, or payment providers.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information.
Payment is processed through Shopify and the payment providers displayed at checkout. Your use of a payment method may also be subject to the provider’s terms and privacy policy.
We may correct pricing or product-information errors before accepting or fulfilling an order.
7. Digital Products and License
Digital products are licensed, not sold, to you for your personal and non-commercial use unless the product page expressly states otherwise.

-
Copy or reproduce digital content except for reasonable personal use;

Share download links, files, passwords, or access credentials;

Upload the content to file-sharing services, social media, websites, or public databases;
-
Resell, sublicense, rent, distribute, publish, translate, modify, or commercially exploit the content;
-
Record or redistribute online lectures or video content; or
-
Remove copyright, trademark, author, or ownership notices.
Purchasing a digital product does not transfer copyright or any other intellectual-property right to you.
We may suspend access where we reasonably believe that a digital product, account, link, or credential has been shared or used in violation of these Terms.
8. Physical Products, Shipping, and Returns
Physical-product orders are subject to our Shipping Policy and Return and Refund Policy.
Delivery dates are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise. Customs inspections, carrier disruptions, weather, incorrect addresses, and other matters outside our reasonable control may affect delivery.
9. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the website, branding, product names, books, text, videos, lectures, illustrations, photographs, designs, graphics, downloads, and other content made available through the Services are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, publicly display, or commercially use such content without prior written permission.
“Osho Shin” and associated names, logos, and branding may not be used in a manner that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation without permission.

You have the right to submit it;
-
It does not infringe another person’s rights;

It is not unlawful, misleading, abusive, defamatory, or harmful; and

It does not contain malicious software or unauthorized commercial solicitation.
You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, and display content you voluntarily submit in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Services.
We are not obligated to publish or retain user-submitted content and may remove it where reasonably appropriate.

The Services may include links, integrations, applications, payment providers, fulfillment providers, shipping carriers, or other services operated by third parties.

Personal information submitted through the Services is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Services and content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, guarantees, or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from your use of the Services or products.
Where liability cannot legally be excluded, our liability will be limited only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot legally be limited.
16. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us against claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable expenses resulting from your unlawful use of the Services, infringement of another person’s rights, or material breach of these Terms.
17. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain effective.
18. Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Services where you materially breach these Terms or use the Services unlawfully.
Terms that by their nature should continue after termination, including intellectual-property, payment, liability, and dispute provisions, will survive termination.
19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in Kyoto, Japan.
This provision does not deprive a consumer of mandatory protections or rights available under the laws of the consumer’s country or place of residence.
20. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time for legal, operational, security, or business reasons.
The revised Terms will be posted on this website with an updated revision date. Changes will not retroactively reduce rights relating to orders already completed unless permitted by law.
