Terms of Use

1. Agreeing to these terms

By creating an account or using First Chi, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app. You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough where you live to agree to these terms yourself; otherwise a parent or guardian must agree for you.

2. Health and safety

First Chi teaches qigong movements and helps you keep a regular practice. It is not a medical service, and nothing in the app is medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The app does not promise any health result.

• If you have an injury, a health condition, recent surgery or are pregnant, check with your doctor before you start.
• Move only within a comfortable range. Stop if anything hurts or you feel dizzy, short of breath or unwell, and seek medical help if the feeling doesn’t pass.
• Practice in a clear space on a stable floor, away from anything you could knock into or trip over.

You practice at your own pace and are responsible for deciding what is right for your body.

3. Your account

You sign in with Apple or Google. Keep access to that account secure, because anyone who can use it can use your First Chi account. Tell us if you think someone else has used it.

You can delete your account at any time in Me → Settings → Delete account. What is deleted is explained in our Privacy Policy.

4. Free lessons, subscriptions and purchases

Available lessons and access options are shown in the app and may change as the catalog develops. You do not need to purchase an option to use content that is currently available for free. If a subscription or lifetime purchase is offered, its included content, price and any billing period are shown before you pay. Changes to access do not create a charge without your purchase confirmation.

• Billing. Purchases are made through the App Store or Google Play and charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm, or when a free trial ends. The store’s own terms also apply to the payment.
• Automatic renewal. Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically at the same length and the price shown in the store, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings; deleting the app or your account does not cancel it. After you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
• Free trial. Free trials are available only when the store confirms your eligibility. The store shows the trial duration and the price that applies afterwards before you confirm. If you accept a trial, you are charged when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. Any unused part of a trial ends when you buy a subscription.
• Lifetime purchase. A lifetime purchase is a single payment, not a subscription, and unlocks the paid content for as long as we offer First Chi.
• Price changes. If a subscription price changes, Apple or Google tells you beforehand and, where required, asks for your agreement.
• Refunds. Apple and Google handle refunds under their own policies. Our support page explains how to ask for one.

Your purchase is linked to your First Chi account. Sign in with the same account on a new phone and use Restore Purchases if lessons stay locked.

5. Our content

The lessons, videos, images, voice guidance and text in First Chi belong to us or to the people who license them to us. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use them in the app for your own practice, for as long as you have access.

Traditional movement names and descriptions are shared to help you learn; they are not claims about health effects.

6. Using First Chi fairly

Please don’t:

• copy, download, record, share, sell or publicly show lessons or other content outside the app;
• get around the locks on paid content, or share your account so that others can use paid content;
• use bots or scripts to access the app or our servers, or try to break, overload or reverse-engineer them, except where the law allows it;
• use First Chi to break the law or to harm anyone.

7. Changes to the app and ending access

We keep improving First Chi, so we may add, change or remove lessons and features. If we stop offering First Chi, we will tell you in the app beforehand.

We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms. Where we can, we will tell you why first and give you a chance to respond.

8. Disclaimers and limits on liability

We work to keep First Chi accurate and available, but we provide it “as is” and can’t promise it will always work without interruption or errors.

To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for indirect or unexpected losses, and our total responsibility to you is limited to the amount you paid for First Chi in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits responsibility that cannot be limited by law, or takes away rights you have as a consumer under the law where you live.

9. App Store and Google Play

If you downloaded First Chi from the App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. If it and these terms differ, Apple’s agreement takes priority for your use of the app. Apple and Google are not responsible for First Chi or its content, and support questions should come to us.

10. Changes and contact

If we change these terms, we will post the new version here and update the date above. If a change matters to how you use First Chi, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using First Chi after that, the new terms apply.
