Subscriber Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: 26th Oct, 2026

These terms govern BreathFinder verification for both individual breathwork professionals and breathwork training providers: a verification fee charged only after you are approved, a verified profile and a credential recording what was checked, and annual re-verification at no charge.

1. Who these terms apply to:

  • These terms form the agreement between you and BreathFinder Ltd, a private limited company incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands, with company registration number 135013 (“BreathFinder”, “we”, “us”). We run an online directory of verified breathwork professionals and training providers at breathfinder.io, or at any other website we give you notice of. These terms and conditions govern the relationship between you — the subscriber — and us.

    These terms apply to you if you apply for, or hold, BreathFinder verification as either:

    • a breathwork professional — an individual who works with clients; or
    • a breathwork training provider — an organisation that trains others.

    Where these terms say “verification”, “verified status” or “your profile”, they mean whichever of the two applies to you. Where something applies to only one, it says so.

    If you apply as a training provider, you apply on behalf of the organisation, and the person who submits the application must be authorised to accept these terms for it. We verify a named responsible person for the organisation. That confirms who they are; it is not a check that they personally hold a breathwork qualification.

    These terms sit alongside our Terms & Conditions, which apply to everyone who uses breathfinder.io. Where the two differ on anything about verification, your verified profile, or the verification fee, these terms apply.

    By submitting an application you confirm that you accept these terms, our Code of Ethics and our Verification Policy.

    If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you must not apply for verification, and you must stop using our services.

2. Other documents that apply:

These terms refer to the following documents, which also apply to you:

Where anything in those documents conflicts with these terms on verification, your verified profile or the verification fee, these terms apply.

3. What BreathFinder does, and what it does not do:

BreathFinder is an independent verification body and a public directory. We check specific, stated things about you against evidence you provide, and we publish what we verified.

We are not a training provider. We do not teach, certify, accredit or endorse any method of breathwork, and we do not award qualifications.

4. How the contract is formed:

Your application is an offer to buy verification from us on these terms. The contract between you and us comes into force when we notify you in writing that your application has been approved.

These terms, together with the documents listed above, are the entire agreement between you and us. You must not rely on any statement, promise, assurance, guarantee or implied term that is not set out in them — including anything on our website, in marketing material, in email or in conversation — and nothing of that kind binds us.

Any illustrations, descriptions or advertising issued by us, and any descriptions or illustrations contained in our publicity material or on our site, are provided only to give guidance on our services. They do not form part of the contract or give us any legal obligation.

These terms and conditions apply over any other terms that you try to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or otherwise.

Any quotation we give you is not an offer from us, and unless we say otherwise it is valid for 10 business days (Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays) from the date we issue it.

 

5. Applying for verification:

You apply through your BreathFinder account. What we check depends on which verification you are applying for, and both are set out in the Verification Policy. For a breathwork professional we check your qualification, your identity, your insurance position, the scope of what you offer, and your agreement to our Code of Ethics. For a training provider we check the organisation and its training, its registration and insurance, its code of ethics, consent and safety, its safeguarding and student care, and the claims it makes.

Identity is checked through an independent identity-verification provider. Every application is reviewed by a person, not an automated decision.

You must give complete and accurate information, and the evidence you provide must be genuine and your own. An application containing information you know to be false or misleading will be refused, and we may decline future applications from you.

We may ask for further evidence before reaching a decision. We may refuse an application where we cannot verify the information you have given, where the evidence does not support the claims made, or where the application does not meet our published requirements. We are not obliged to verify anyone.

The verification we provide will correspond in all material respects to what is described in these terms and in our Verification Policy.

We will take reasonable steps to meet any timescales we publish for review or re-verification, but those are estimates and are not binding on us.

We may change how we carry out verification where the change is needed to meet a legal or safety requirement, or where it does not materially affect the nature or quality of what we provide. We will give you notice of any such change.

 

6. The verification fee:

There is a single, one-off verification fee. It is not a subscription and it does not renew. This applies to both breathwork professionals and training providers, and the amount depends on which verification you apply for, and the current fee is shown before you apply.

You are invoiced only after your application has been approved. If we cannot verify you, there is nothing to pay. The fee that applies to you is the one published at the time you submit your application.

Invoices are sent to you by email, and can also be viewed in your BreathFinder account at any time.

Payment is due as stated on the invoice. Your verified profile is published after payment is received, once it has passed the publication check described below.

If you do not pay an invoice by the date it is due, you will be in breach of the contract between us, and we may end it and recover any sum you owe. Neither of us may withhold a payment because of any other matter outstanding between us.

Approval is valid for 30 days. If payment and any remaining steps are not completed within 30 days of approval, the approval lapses and a new application is needed. We will contact you before that point.

We may change the published fee, or the basis on which a particular verification is charged, at any time. Any change applies only to applications made after it is published. It does not affect an application already submitted, and it never results in a further charge for a verification you have already paid for.

You are responsible for any tax, sales tax, VAT, GST or similar duty that applies to you in connection with verification, other than tax on our own income, and for accounting for it to the relevant authority.

Our fees are exclusive of tax. We do not charge VAT, and no VAT or equivalent amount is added to your invoice. Whether any tax applies to you where you are based, and the reporting and payment of it, are your responsibility.

If you do not meet a tax obligation that is yours, you will not hold us liable for any claim or penalty that results from it.

7. Refunds, cancellation and ending this agreement:

The fee is payable once your application has been approved, and the verification work is complete at that point. It is not refundable. Paying is not conditional on your profile going live, and changing your mind after payment does not entitle you to a refund.

If we remove your profile because you have broken these terms or the Code of Ethics, the fee is not refunded.

If we find that a payment has been taken in error, we will refund it promptly to the payment method you used.

Other than as set out in these terms and conditions, any refund is at our discretion.

Where anything in our Payments, Refunds & Cancellations Terms Policy differs from this clause, this clause applies.

You may end this agreement and ask us to remove your profile at any time. How to do that, and what happens to your verified status and your credential afterwards, are set out in our Payments, Refunds & Cancellations Terms Policy. The position on refunds is as set out in this clause.

Nothing here affects any statutory right you may have that cannot be excluded by agreement.

8. Your verified profile and your credential:

Two things come out of a successful verification, and they behave differently.

Your credential records a check that was completed. For an individual this is the BreathFinder Verified Breathwork Professional Credential. It is dated, it does not expire, and it stays true as a record of what was verified on that date.

Your profile shows your current status. It displays what we verified, when it was last verified, and when re-verification is next due.

Your profile does not go live until it has passed our publication check. Where something does not line up with the verification record, we come back to you before anything is published. How that check works is set out in our Verification Policy.

9. Annual re-verification:

Verified status is kept current through annual re-verification. There is no charge for it.

Re-verification confirms that what we published is still accurate: that your qualification still stands, that your insurance position is unchanged or updated, and that the scope and claims on your profile still match your evidence. For a training provider it covers the organisation’s registration and insurance, its safeguarding and student care, and the claims it makes about its training.

Identity is not rechecked. Identity does not change, so it is established once, at first verification.

We will contact you before re-verification is due, using the details on your account. Keeping those details current is your responsibility.

Re-verification maintains your verified status. It does not renew or re-issue the credential you already earned.

10. If your verification lapses:

If re-verification is not completed by the due date, your verified status becomes lapsed. Your profile stops representing you as currently verified, and the verification mark is removed or changed.

Because the credential records a completed check and does not expire, there is an important distinction in what you may say afterwards.

You may state, truthfully, that you completed BreathFinder verification on the date shown, and you may keep and present your dated Certificate of Verification as a record of it.

You may not describe yourself as currently “BreathFinder Verified”, or display the verification mark, while your status is lapsed.

How you return to verified status depends on how long your status has been lapsed.

If less than 12 months have passed since your re-verification due date, you can be reinstated. We re-check the items that change over time — your insurance, the scope of what you offer, the claims on your profile, and your agreement to the current Code of Ethics. A reinstatement fee applies. It is payable before your status is restored, and the amount that applies is the one published at the time.

If more than 12 months have passed, reinstatement is no longer available and you apply again as a new applicant, at the verification fee published at that time. As with any application, you are invoiced only if your application is approved. Your identity is not rechecked, because identity is established once and does not need repeating.

This clause applies where verified status has lapsed. Where we have removed your profile under the clause on suspension and removal, that clause applies instead.

11. Changes you must tell us about:

Tell us promptly if anything changes that would make something on your profile inaccurate. That includes:

  • a new qualification, or one that has been withdrawn
  • a change to your insurance, including a policy that lapses or that no longer covers the modality you offer
  • a change to the scope of what you offer, or the methods you work with
  • for a training provider, a change to the training you deliver, your registration, your safeguarding arrangements, or the named responsible person for the organisation
  • if you stop practising, or stop delivering training, whether for a time or for good
  • anything else that makes a published claim no longer accurate

Where you tell us of a material change, we re-check the affected items before your profile continues to show them.

You must also tell us, as soon as you reasonably can, about any complaint made about your professional services, and about anything that has affected or could affect your professional standing — for example a professional sanction, an allegation, or an investigation by a professional body or regulator. These may affect whether you can remain verified, and we will tell you what, if anything, we need from you.

We would rather hear it from you. Telling us promptly is not itself a breach, and we will look at what you tell us before deciding anything. A profile that has quietly gone out of date is a worse position for you than a corrected one.

12. Your obligations:

You must co-operate with us in matters relating to verification, give us the information and materials we reasonably need, and make sure that what you give us is accurate.

You must keep your contact details up to date, and allow us and our employees, agents, consultants and subcontractors to contact you at reasonable times. You must maintain whatever we need in order to reach you, such as a working email account.

You must hold all licences, registrations and permissions you need in order to practise, and in order for us to verify and publish what we publish about you.

You must keep your account secure. Your username, password and login details are yours to protect, along with the documents, notices and correspondence associated with your verification; you must not share them or allow anyone else to use your account. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been used without your permission.

If we cannot carry out verification, or are delayed in doing so, because of something you have done or failed to do, we may pause your application or suspend your verified status, as applicable, until the matter is put right, and we are not responsible for obligations we could not meet as a result.

If we ask you in writing, you must reimburse costs or losses we reasonably incur as a direct or indirect result of something you did or failed to do, including any claim brought against us because of material you provided.

13. Using the verification mark and your credential:

While your verification is current you may display the verification mark and describe yourself as BreathFinder Verified — on your own website, in your materials, and on your social profiles.

You may not:

  • display the mark, or claim current verified status, while your status is lapsed, suspended or removed
  • alter the mark, or use it in a way that suggests BreathFinder endorses, certifies or guarantees your work
  • suggest that BreathFinder accredited your training, awarded your qualification, or approved any method you use
  • use the mark for a person, organisation or service other than the one verified
  • claim verification for anything we did not check

When your verified status ends, for any reason, you must stop using the verification mark and remove it from your website, your materials and your social profiles within 30 days.

If your verified status lapses, or you end this agreement, you may keep your Certificate of Verification and present it as a record of the verification you completed on the date it shows. You may not present it in a way that suggests you are currently verified — so not alongside the verification mark, and not with any claim of current verified status. While you are suspended, or if we have removed you under the clause on suspension and removal, you must not present the certificate at all.

If the verification mark or your credential is misused, we will ask you to put it right. If it is not put right within a reasonable period, or the misuse continues, we may suspend or remove your verified status. Where your status has already ended, the mark remains ours and your permission to use it has ended with your status, so continued use is dealt with under the clause on intellectual property.

14. Information and content you provide:

You are responsible for what you give us and for what appears on your profile. You confirm that it is accurate, that it is yours to provide, and that publishing it does not infringe anyone else’s rights. That applies to everything you supply, including any text, photographs, images or graphics you did not write, create or take yourself — for those, you must hold the permissions you need.

You grant BreathFinder a licence to publish and display that material on breathfinder.io and in connection with the directory, for as long as your profile is live. You keep ownership of it. After your profile is removed we may keep copies as part of your verification record, and for as long as we need them to deal with any question or claim about it or to meet a legal obligation.

Your profile must be honest and fair. It must describe only the issues, approaches or services you are qualified to offer; must not make claims that cannot be supported; must not make dishonest or unreasonable comparisons with other practitioners or organisations; must sit in the appropriate category; and must not impersonate any other person or organisation.

Your profile, and any material you provide, must not:

  • use obscene or vulgar language, or contain content intended to promote or incite violence
  • contain content that is unlawful, offensive or upsetting, including anything that breaches a rule, regulation or law applying to your practice
  • contain content that is abusive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, ageist, sexist or racist
  • infringe anyone else’s intellectual property rights
  • contain viruses or any other code intended to damage or disrupt software, hardware or networks

We may edit a profile for length, clarity, formatting or accuracy. We may decline to publish material that the verification record does not support, that makes a claim we did not check, or that we consider unlawful, misleading or unsafe.

Where we consider it necessary to remove material that could expose either of us to legal action, we may alter your profile without asking first, and we will tell you what we have changed. For any other change to your profile, we will ask your permission.

We are not liable if material you provide breaks, limits or undermines the rights of anyone else.

Claims about trauma, mental health, medical outcomes or safety are held to the evidence you provide. Where such a claim is not supported, it is not published. That alone does not affect your verified status.

As well as your profile, you may publish other material through the directory where we make that available — for example articles, details of events, seminars, workshops or courses, video content, and promotions or special offers.

Everything in this clause applies to that material as it applies to your profile. We may refuse to publish it, edit it, or remove it from our site.

You agree that information you publish will be accurate when you post it, and that if any of it changes you will tell us within seven days.

15. Modifications Of Terms:

BreathFinder Ltd does not warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of material on this website. All information may be changed, supplemented, deleted or updated without notice at the sole discretion of BreathFinder Ltd.  Please check these terms of use from time to time to take notice of any changes we made, as these are binding on you.
