Terms of Use

Acceptance of terms

Body & Balance Studio is the name of a personal educational project created and operated by Alpana, an individual. It is not a company, clinic, medical practice, or healthcare provider. In these Terms, “the site”, “the project”, “I”, and “me” refer to the website and its operator, as applicable. By accessing or using the site — including the posture scan and the exercise, muscle, and condition libraries — you agree to these Terms of Use and my Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Not medical advice

The content and the posture scan are educational wellness information, not medical advice, and do not create a clinician–patient relationship. They are not a diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for professional care. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any exercise program, and stop any activity that causes pain. You use the exercises and any plan at your own risk.

The posture scan

The posture scan runs entirely in your browser and estimates alignment patterns from the photos you provide. It is a screening aid, not a precise clinical measurement — accuracy depends on lighting, clothing, camera angle, and pose. See the FAQ for what it can and cannot detect. I do not receive or store your photos (see the Privacy Policy).

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the site in any unlawful way or to harm, harass, or mislead others.
• Attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
• Scrape, copy, or redistribute the content for commercial purposes without permission.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the site's original text, design, code, and other original materials are owned by Alpana or used under an applicable licence. Anatomy figures are derived from open datasets (BodyParts3D and Z-Anatomy) under CC BY-SA and carry their own attribution. Reference books are cited for educational purposes and remain the property of their authors and publishers. You may view and share links to the content for personal, non-commercial use.

Disclaimer & limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Body & Balance Studio is not liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your use of the site, the posture scan, or the exercises.

Changes to these terms

I may update these Terms as the product evolves. The “Last updated” date above will change when I do, and continued use of the site means you accept the revised Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
