It is an offence to share the course content and materials with others in any way and an infringement of the copyright of the course and of this agreement.

4. Informed Consent for Participation  
It is very important to clarify the nature of the Bach Flower therapy system and the remedies. Detailed information is provided on the company web-site under the sections concerning the theory. Information on the content of the particular event you would like to participate in is provided in the section “Select for yourself”. If you still feel that you are lacking some needed information, please do not hesitate to appeal to us, using the contact information provided on the web-site. Please keep in mind that we might need 1 to 2 working day for reply. If you would need a consultation and advice by your personal healthcare professional, you shall obtain it. Only after you feel confident in your decision and satisfied with the level of information you have, you shall book participation.  
Below you can see a summary of the key-points of this concept:
a)    Bach Flower remedy system is focused on our emotions, feelings and mind-set and does not deal with physical symptoms. 
b)    Bach Flower remedies are completely safe. So safe that they are given to newborn babies, pregnant women and nursing mothers. 
c)    Bach Flower remedies are gentle and delicate – there are no rapid and drastic changes to be observed with their use. If you experience however a very clearly recognizeable, aggravated and very short-term emotion, this might be so promptly alleviated by the Bach Flower Remedies as it appeared. 
d)    With Bach Flower Remedies, and especially when dealing with more chronic conditions, we need time, patience and persistence to achieve stable results. 
In any case, you are the one to decide whether you would like to continue or to stop, based on your own judgement and feeling, as you are the one holding full responsibility for your health and well-being.
Providing agreement to these terms and conditions, and participating in the respective event you are providing your informed consent.
