IMIH reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time, without advance notice and in its sole discretion, and any such changes will be applicable to all subsequent access to, or use of, the Services.

In addition to this Agreement, IMIH may also maintain additional operating rules, procedures, and policies (including, without limitation, IMIH's Privacy Policy) which may be published from time to time on IMIH's websites and the App and shall also govern your use of the Services.


    If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then you may reject the Agreement by immediately terminating all access and use of the Services, in which case any continued access or use of the Services is unauthorized.

    We are not a health care or medical device provider, nor should our products or Services be considered medical care, advice or treatment. Only your physician or other health care provider can furnish such care and treatment. While there is third party evidence from research that meditation can assist in the prevention and recovery process for a wide array of conditions as well as in improving some performance and relationship issues, IMIH makes no claims, representations, warranties or guarantees (whether express or implied) that the products or Services provide a physical or therapeutic benefit.


    Any health information and links on the Services, whether provided by IMIH or by contract from outside providers, is provided simply for your convenience.


    Any information or other materials in the Services are intended for general information and educational purposes only. Such materials are not intended to be relied upon and are not a substitute for professional medical advice based on your individual condition and circumstances. The information and other materials we make available are intended to support the relationship between you and your healthcare providers and not replace it.

In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representation or warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or suitability for any purpose of the information and materials published as part of the Services.

People with existing mental health conditions should speak with their health care providers before starting meditation practice.
