Copyright & usage rights

A) General terms of use for content (entire website)

1. Scope

These terms of use apply to all content made available on this website (collectively “content”), in particular texts, photos/images/graphics (including thumbnails, excerpts and reduced-quality versions), PDF documents, worksheets, audio and video files as well as other media – regardless of whether content is additionally offered in a download area.

“Private, non-public” means: use exclusively for your own personal purposes at home or within your close personal circle. Not covered are uses in classes, coaching sessions, workshops, retreats, events or other groups (offline or online) outside the private circle – even if these are free of charge.

“Editing/modification” includes in particular (including in part): cropping, retouching, filters, recolouring, montage/compositing, remixes, cross-fades, embedding in designs/templates, vectorisation, creating derivative versions as well as the use of elements/parts.

2. Permitted use (strictly private, non-public)

Permitted is exclusively the use by natural persons for private, non-public purposes, in particular viewing/reading/listening/playback via this website as well as the technically necessary caching in the course of browser/device use.

Any further use is only permissible if it is expressly permitted on this page or in a written approval.

3. Prohibited uses (in particular)

Without prior written approval by Vinayaki-Yoga und Coaching, the following is not permitted:

Any commercial/business use (including advertising, company/association presences, print products, offers/sale).
Reproduction/copying beyond strictly private use (e.g. systematic saving, mirroring, collecting, archiving, redistribution).
Publication or making publicly available (e.g. upload/posting on websites, social media, platforms, messenger channels, cloud shares, file-sharing services).
Passing on to third parties (including free of charge), sale, rental, licensing or any other transfer.
Editing/modification even in the private sphere (see definition above), as well as use of parts/elements (including in part).
Use as a (partial) logo, trademark, product design, template or background graphic for public media.
Use in AI training sets/datasets or comparable systems (e.g. dataset uploads, “fine-tuning”, training libraries), as well as automated scraping/harvesting for such purposes.

Addendum for audio/video content: without written approval, the following is additionally not permitted:

Recording (e.g. screen recording), filming off a screen, circumventing copy protection or “ripping”.

Creating subtitles, transcripts, sheet-music transcriptions or other derivative versions.
Public performance/presentation/playback (e.g. in yoga classes, coaching sessions, workshops, retreats, events or online meetings outside the private circle).

4. Additional clause for online course participants (practising at home)

Where Vinayaki-Yoga und Coaching provides content within an online course, a membership or a closed participant area (“course content”), registered participants may use this course content exclusively for private practice at home (non-public), as long as (a) access lawfully exists and (b) no deviating course conditions have been agreed in writing.

Also for participants, the following in particular remains prohibited: any passing on to third parties, any publication/upload, any editing/modification, any use in classes/events/teaching situations outside the private circle as well as any commercial use.

Access credentials/links are personal and may not be shared. When access ends or is withdrawn (e.g. end of course, termination, suspension), the permission to use course content ends; stored course content must then be deleted, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

5. Approvals / licence enquiries

Deviating uses (in particular editing, publication, passing on, public performance or commercial use) are only permitted after prior written approval.

Please send enquiries by email to kontakt@vinayaki-yoga-und-coaching.com (ideally stating the intended use, medium, reach and period).

6. Attribution (only if approved in writing)

If and to the extent that a use has exceptionally been approved in writing, the source to be credited is: “Vinayaki-Yoga und Coaching” (optionally with a link to our website vinayaki-yoga-und-coaching.com), unless the approval provides otherwise.

7. Notes on AI-assisted content

Individual motifs/content were created (in part) using artificial intelligence. Vinayaki-Yoga und Coaching grants usage rights only to the extent that corresponding rights actually exist; no warranty is given for protectability or complete freedom from third-party claims.

8. Third-party rights / depictions of persons

Where content shows persons, trademarks, protected designs, places or other protectable elements, third-party rights may additionally be affected. Users may not use content in a way that infringes third-party rights.
