  1. Introduction

1.1 These Terms & Conditions (“Terms“) govern your access to and participation in the online spiritual meeting (the “Meeting“) and all related livestreams, websites, mobile applications, and social media channels (collectively, the “Services“).

1.2 The Services are provided by HighKir (the “facilitator“, “we“, “us“, “our“) with its principal home at highkir.com (“our website“).

1.3 By accessing or using any part of the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, and by our Cookie Policy (which explains our use of cookies and similar technologies). If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services.

1.4 Public forum (no participant recording): The Meeting — including its livestream, text chat, and any related discussions in social media channels — is fully public and livestreamed to social media channels and on our website. We do not record, store, archive or otherwise retain any participant audio, video, screenshare, or chat. Social media platforms may create their own automatic replays or transcripts that are outside our control. If you do not want your image, voice or chat to appear live, do not activate your mic/camera or do not join.

  1. Eligibility, Age‑Verification & Sanctions Compliance

2.1 The Services are intended solely for natural persons aged 18 years or over. By joining the Meeting, accessing or watching livestream, or submitting any User Content you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old.

2.2 Since participation is limited to adults (18+), where required by law we may ask you to complete an automated age-check from a third-party service. If verification fails, or you decline to complete it, access will be refused.

2.3 If we reasonably discover that anyone under 18 has accessed or appears in the Meeting we will use reasonable endeavours to remove such participant from the meeting where technically feasible.

2.4 You are solely responsible for ensuring that participation is lawful in the jurisdiction from which you access the Services and that no applicable export‑control or sanctions laws are infringed.

  1. Access to the Meeting & Technical Support

3.1 The Meeting is currently hosted on Zoom; a free join link is provided on our website. We may migrate to an alternative platform at any time.

3.2 You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all devices, internet connections, and software necessary to join; we do not provide technical support and any connectivity issues do not affect the validity of the broadcast consent in § 5.

3.3 We do not guarantee that the Meeting or livestream will operate continuously and be uninterrupted, secure, or error‑free.

3.4 We reserve the right to cancel the Meeting in unforeseen circumstances. We may change the overall schedule (including start and end times), format, tools, or access credentials, postpone or cancel any session, at any time without notice and liability.

3.5 Compensation and Reimbursement Disclaimer: The Services are provided free of charge. Consequently, we do not offer financial compensation, refunds, or reimbursements of any kind in the event of cancellations, disruptions, downtime, technical errors, or any interruptions to the Meeting or livestream. Any costs incurred by the user to access the free service, such as internet data usage, would also not be reimbursed in the event of a disruption. By participating, you acknowledge and agree that the only remedy for dissatisfaction with any aspect of the Service is to discontinue its use.

3.6 To protect the integrity of the Services we may employ automated or manual tools to detect misuse, including IP blocking and rate‑limiting.

3.7 Service communications: You agree that we may send you administrative, legal‑compliance, or service‑related notices (including schedule changes and DSA Art. 17 statements‑of‑reason) to the e‑mail address you supplied at registration.

  1. Code of Conduct

4.2 We may, in our sole discretion and without notice, mute, remove, suspend, or permanently ban any participant who breaches these Terms.

(i) temporarily mute a participant,
(ii) issue a warning,
(iii) remove the participant from the current Meeting, and/or
(iv) impose a temporary or permanent ban across all Services.
We reserve the right to bypass intermediate steps and act immediately in cases of serious misconduct. You can report breaches of the Code of Conduct by other participants to report-conduct@highkir.com

4.4 Public comments on social media broadcasts: Livestreams are publicly searchable and may feature open comment threads governed by each platform’s rules. We reserve the right to hide, delete, or report hateful or unlawful comments and rely on the platform’s moderation tools for enforcement.
