Welcome to the K-Power® website. PKP International Ltd, trading as K-Power® Global Health and Fitness (Hereinafter called K-Power®) provides its service to you, subject to the following Terms of Service (“TOS”), which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. You can review the most current version of the TOS at any time by clicking the link in the footer of the K-Power® website. In addition, when using particular K-Power® services, you shall be subject to any posted guidelines applicable to such services. All such guidelines are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS.
By using this website and/or completing the registration process (and/or logging in as a K-Power® Instructor) and checking the ‘I accept’ button, you agree to be bound by these TOS, so please read them carefully.

Description of service

K-Power® currently provides users with access to a collection of on-line resources, which may include online forums, eCommerce services, personalized content and K-Power® promotional and workshop material through its online properties (the “Service”). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new K-Power® workshops or properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided ‘as-is’ and that K-Power® assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.
In order to use the Service, you must have appropriate access to the World Wide Web, using one of K-Power®’s supported Web Browser tools.

Your registration obligations

In consideration of use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form (your ‘Personal Info’) and (b) keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or K-Power® has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, K-Power® has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service. K-Power® is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. For this reason, only a K-Power® Instructor may download K-Power® Instructor resources. Please be aware that K-Power® workshops contain anatomical diagrams and photos that in some cultures may be regarded as adult or mature content. You must be at least 18 years of age to access and view such workshops. K-Power® respects the intellectual property of others, and we request our users to do the same.

K-Power® privacy policy

Pursuant to K-Power®’s privacy policy, we may disclose to third parties certain aggregate information contained in your Registration Data (‘Personal Info’) or related data, provided that, such information will not include personally identifying information, except as specifically authorized by you or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, legal process, or to enforce the TOS.

You agree to:
  1. immediately notify K-Power® of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and
