No attempt should be made to copy or distribute either images or other content in any way, even in another language.
All online courses require users to have an active email account for course communication purposes.
Users need to advise TME of any changes to their personal contact details whilst completing their course.
Students enrolled with TME – Tibetan Medicine Education center are issued with an internet login and secure password in order to access the live teaching session. Students must not disclose this password to any third party.
TME – Tibetan Medicine Education center reserves the right to modify the content of the website on a regular basis in order to ensure that it is current and as relevant as possible.
It is strongly recommended that students protect their own computer system with appropriate anti virus software. TME – Tibetan Medicine Education center cannot be held responsible for any virus transferred via email or otherwise, hacking and other types of computer misuse.

Ability to participate
Participants take part in TME activities fully responsible of their behavior and must notify TME-Tibetan Medicine Education center of any relevant physical and/or psychological impairments before the seminar/course/workshop/retreat. If necessary, participants must consult a physician or psychotherapist. TME-Tibetan Medicine Education center reserves the right to exclude participants who do not fulfill the physical and/or psychological requirements from participating in a seminar/course/workshop/retreat.

In order to maintain an appropriate learning environment, students having an inappropriate, disruptive, or offensive behavior may be excluded from courses or workshops. Tibetan medicine study and practice is not compatible with the use of recreational drugs. People who are used to consuming such substances are not accepted in workshops. Besides, any course participants found intoxicated or under the influence of recreational drugs or alcool will be asked to leave immediately.
In case of exclusion, any additional costs will be borne by the participants and the amount already paid will not be refunded.

Payment
Payment is made at the enrolment.
For individual online courses (Advanced pathologies, Tibetan medical psychology and psychiatry): A message of confirmation will be sent to the student after receipt of payment. The student will then have access to the course material for the duration given in the course description.

Withdrawals
Online courses:
Before a course opening: withdrawals from a course or a seminar are accepted until 30 days before the course is made available, without any charge aside from an administrative fee of CHF 60.-. Withdrawals must be communicated in writing. There will be no reimbursement for later cancellation.
Once the student has access to the material: Should the course participant withdraw from the course, or not take part in online sessions or exams, he or she shall not be entitled to claim any reimbursement.
In the unlikely event that TME cannot provide a pre-announced course, the full pre-payment for the cancelled course/part of the course will be refunded. There will be no claim for other compensation.

Minimum number of participants
For the individual online Kachupa degree courses (Advanced pathologies, Tibetan medical psychology and psychiatry): There isn’t any limited number of participants since the courses are given on an individual basis. Once the course goes online, students have access to the material through the login and password received at the time of the registration.

For online courses in groups : A minimum of 10 students is required.

Certification
At the end of each course, students who wish it so can take an exam in order to receive a certificate, provided they have passed it. In order to have the full Kachupa degree, students must follow all the courses and take/pass all the examinations.

Tibetan Medicine, like many other complementary medicines, is still not officially recognized in many countries. Students must then be aware that even if this certification attests their high knowledge on Tibetan Medicine subjects, it is not an authorization to practice per se, as legal recognition and licenses depend on the laws of each country.
Thus, the participants who are already medical doctors or who already have an official authorization to practice as naturopath practitioners in their country can receive the TME certificate as an attestation for their additional knowledge on Tibetan medicine and related techniques.
The participants who have not yet graduated in any medical complementary discipline will also receive the same certificate from TME, but in order to have a legal recognition in their country as a health practitioner, they may have to obtain extra certificates depending on their country laws.

Applicable law, jurisdiction
Swiss law exclusively shall be applicable to the present contract. Neuchâtel, Switzerland is stipulated as the place of jurisdiction.
