(Shoden · Full Course and Shoden Koza · Class‑by‑Class)

and Dōjō Bunko Library Service (道場文庫)

Website: shibari-dojo.online
Version: 1.0
Effective date: [date of publication]
Operator: Web3Hispano LLC, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the State of New Mexico, United States of America (hereinafter "SHIBARI-DOJO").

IMPORTANT NOTICE
These Specific Conditions supplement the General Contracting Conditions (hereinafter "GCC") and the Website Terms and Conditions of Use, including Section 0 thereof. By purchasing any product or service, you fully and unreservedly accept all contractual documents. In the event of any conflict, these Specific Conditions shall prevail over the GCC with respect to the Shoden course and the Dōjō Bunko Library.

1. Definitions and Contractable Services

For the purposes of these conditions:

  • Shoden Course (初伝) – Full Course: Complete Sekibaku erotic shibari training programme, consisting of six (6) live 1:1 sessions and five (5) online content modules.
  • Shoden Koza Course (初伝講座) – Class‑by‑Class: Enrolment option via independent units. The student enrols in one class (module) at a time, potentially completing the same programme as the full course.
  • Dojo Library (Dōjō Bunko, 道場文庫): Supplementary online documentary collection, without live sessions, offered either independently or linked to the above modalities.

2. Course Structure and Content Access

2.1 Programme composition
The Shoden course is organised into five (5) training modules, plus an initial orientation session. Each module comprises:

  • A live one‑to‑one (1:1) session between the student (and their practice partner) and the instructor, lasting between ninety (90) and one hundred and twenty (120) minutes.
  • Digital teaching materials (video tutorials and written documentation) accessible through the platform.

2.2 Sequential access and progression
Access to the modules is strictly sequential:

  • Upon activation of enrolment, the student gains access to Module 1 and its corresponding session.
  • Modules 2, 3, 4 and 5 are unlocked progressively once the student has completed the live session of the immediately preceding module.

This rule applies even in the single‑payment (Shoden – Full Course) modality: paying for the entire programme does not mean that all modules become available simultaneously. Sequential unlocking is an essential pedagogical element of the method and does not constitute a breach of contract or an arbitrary restriction.

2.3 Excluded content
Each modality grants access only to the modules and features described in its corresponding product sheet. The student acquires no right to access content, modules or services reserved for other modalities, even if they are hosted on the same platform.

3. Enrolment Modalities and Duration of the Service

3.1 Shoden – Full Course (初伝)

  • Payment: Single payment for the entire programme.
  • Included sessions: 6 live sessions (1 orientation session + 1 session for each of the 5 modules).
  • Scheduling window: Eighteen (18) months from the activation date of enrolment.
  • Online content access: Lifetime. Once a module is unlocked, the student retains access to its materials even after the session scheduling window has expired.
  • Dojo Library: Lifetime access from day one.

3.2 Shoden Koza – Class‑by‑Class (初伝講座)

  • Payment: Individual payment for each class (module). The student may contract the five classes successively.
  • Included sessions per class: 1 live session corresponding to the purchased module.
  • Scheduling window per class: Four (4) months from the activation of that specific class.
  • Online content access: Lifetime for each unlocked module.
  • Dojo Library: Temporarily included with each contracted class, with the following durations:
    • Classes 1 to 3: 4 months of access.
    • Class 4: 1 year of access.
    • Class 5: lifetime access.
  • Price lock: The price of each class for a given student shall not vary during the eighteen (18) months following the activation of their first class, even if SHIBARI-DOJO changes its general rates.

3.3 Dōjō Bunko Library (standalone)

When offered autonomously, the access conditions (duration, price and renewal) will be detailed on its own enrolment page. Standalone library access does not include live sessions, course content or participation in the student Telegram group.

4. Enrolment and Activation Process

4.1 Application and conclusion of the contract
The contract is concluded when the student submits the duly completed enrolment form and SHIBARI-DOJO receives that request. The contract language shall be Spanish for users of the Spanish version of the Website, and English for the international version.

4.2 Manual verification and activation
Account activation and access to content are not instantaneous. They require prior payment verification by an administrator. Once payment is confirmed, SHIBARI-DOJO will activate the corresponding subscription and assign the relevant accesses. This process may take up to 48 hours on business days for electronic payments, and up to two weeks for international transfers. Activations are carried out during the business hours indicated in the GCC.

The account activation date shall be deemed, for all purposes, the start of all applicable time periods.

5. Sessions, Scheduling and Deadlines

5.1 Scheduling
Sessions are scheduled by mutual agreement between the student and the instructor. SHIBARI-DOJO will provide a means of contact to coordinate dates. The assignment of a specific date is subject to the instructor’s availability and the student’s pedagogical progress.

5.2 Expiry of unscheduled sessions

  • In the Shoden Full Course modality, if the student has not scheduled any of the six sessions within the 18‑month period, SHIBARI-DOJO is released from the obligation to deliver the pending sessions. Lifetime access to already unlocked content and to the library is not affected.
  • In the Shoden Koza modality, each class has its own independent 4‑month window. If the session of a class is not scheduled within that period, the session expires; however, the student retains lifetime access to the materials of that module and the previous ones.

5.3 Extension due to instructor unavailability
If, for reasons attributable to SHIBARI-DOJO, instructors are unable to provide services for a continuous period exceeding one month, that period shall be added to the current scheduling window. The extension will be communicated to the student by email.

6. Participation in Classes and Accompanying Person

6.1 Nature of the sessions
All live sessions are designed to be carried out with a partner. The enrolled student must have an accompanying person to perform the practical exercises.

6.2 Status of the accompanying person
The accompanying person:

  • May access the course materials and actively participate in the sessions.
  • May receive a certificate of participation or achievement if their attendance is verifiable.
  • Does not acquire the status of student nor establish any contractual relationship with SHIBARI-DOJO. All rights, claims and responsibilities lie exclusively with the enrolled student, who shall be liable to SHIBARI-DOJO also for the acts of their accompanying person.

7. Dojo Library (Dōjō Bunko)

7.1 Nature
The Dojo Library is a repository of supplementary articles and materials, without live sessions or access to the Telegram group. Its content may be expanded, modified or reorganised without prior notice.

7.2 Access duration
The duration of library access depends on the contracted modality:

  • Shoden Full Course: lifetime from activation.
  • Shoden Koza: 4 months (classes 1–3), 1 year (class 4) or lifetime (class 5), linked to the respective class.
  • Standalone Library: according to the purchased plan (4 months, 1 year or lifetime).

Upon expiry of the access period, the student will no longer be able to view the library contents, without this affecting the course modules to which they are already entitled.

8. Certification

8.1 Obtaining the certificate
Upon completing all programme modules and the corresponding sessions, the student – and, where applicable, the accompanying person – may apply for a Shoden level certificate of achievement. Certification is included in the price, at no additional cost.

8.2 Condition
The issuance of the certificate is subject to a positive assessment by the instructor. SHIBARI-DOJO does not guarantee the award of the certificate merely by reason of having attended the sessions.

9. No‑Refund Policy

The no‑refund policy set out in the GCC applies in full. In particular, no refund shall be due in the following cases:

  • Failure to use the live sessions within the established time limits.
  • Voluntary cancellation of the account.
  • Subjective dissatisfaction with the content or the teaching style.
  • Lack of awareness of the sequential nature of access, provided this has been clearly communicated on the Website and in these conditions.

10. Communications and Support

The same provisions as in the GCC apply. Notifications from SHIBARI-DOJO will be sent to the email address provided by the student. The student is responsible for keeping it up to date.

11. Governing Law

These conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Mexico and applicable federal laws of the United States of America, under the terms set out in the GCC.

By contracting any of the described services, the student fully accepts these Specific Conditions, the General Contracting Conditions, the Website Terms and Conditions of Use, and the Privacy Policy.
