Terms of Use

The purpose of this web site is to provide you with information about the business of Energy Arts, Inc., its products and training programs, the campaigns that it supports, and the activities it undertakes.

Negotiating the Terms of Use and Heavy Disclaimer

By using the Energy Arts Website and Instructor Directory you agree to a disclaimer, which is expressed in legalistic terminology, and is presented this way because of the nature of our society.

This disclaimer is for two reasons:

1. We live in a legalistic world that is dissimilar in many ways to the world in which Bruce learned his material. In that world, if a student had tripped, fallen and twisted his ankle upon leaving his master's house the responsibility for the accident would have lain with the student. In our world, however, people may try to displace responsibility onto the teacher, or the teacher's teacher! Regretfully, this means that we are legally obligated to ask you to read and accept the disclaimer below.
2. We certify our teachers and we re-certify them every two years but we don’t operate a franchise business like McDonalds. We don’t take a cut from instructors' incomes, neither do we tell them how to structure their programs nor insist they all wear the same uniform when they are teaching. In addition to Energy Arts programs, some teachers may also offer other services that are not part of the Bruce Frantzis Energy Arts® system. The network is what we like to call 'an unintentional community' of small pieces loosely joined who share a common set of values and aspirations. You should do your due dilligence on any teacher that you speak and train with.

Need for Independent Investigation

The instructors in the Energy Arts directory have successfully completed at least one instructor training in the Taoist arts given by Energy Arts, Inc. and received a certification. They are all independent instructors who operate their own businesses and are neither affiliated with nor endorsed by Energy Arts, Inc.

It is your responsibility before initiating training with any of the Certified Instructors in the directory to investigate the nature of the instruction you will receive and the background and experience of the instructors. Energy Arts, Inc. is not a party to and is in no way responsible for any agreement or relationship between you and any Certified Instructor.

Instructor Directory Disclaimer

Physical contact, deep contemplation and the risk of physical injury and emotional stress are inherent in the practice of Taoist arts. By using the directory of Certified Instructors, you acknowledge and assume the foregoing risks and hereby release, waive, and discharge Bruce Frantzis, Energy Arts, Inc. and all of its officers, employees, representatives, and agents, of and from, and covenant not to sue the foregoing with respect to, all liability of any kind for any and all injury, loss or damage which may be suffered because of any matter, thing or condition, negligence or default whatsoever in connection with any instruction, program, or any other involvement of any kind with any of the persons whose names appear in such directory.
