Who We Are

The Seminary is a faith-based educational institution offering courses, workshops, and programs. These Terms apply to all visitors to our website and all participants in our programs.

Our Programs and Content

We offer educational courses and programs, along with related materials, delivered online and in person. We may add, change, or discontinue programs, and we may update the content of our website and materials, at our discretion.

Enrollment and Payment

When you enroll in a paid course, the fee is stated at the time of enrollment. Payment is processed through our course platform and payment processor. Enrollment is confirmed once payment is received. You are responsible for providing accurate registration information.

Refunds

If you wish to withdraw from a course, you may request a full refund up to seven (7) days before the course start date. We are unable to offer refunds once a course has begun. In cases of documented emergency or exceptional circumstance, refund requests will be considered at our discretion. To request a refund, contact us at contact@siratca.org.

Certificates

Some programs offer a certificate of completion recognizing participation and completed work. These certificates acknowledge engagement with the material. They are not academic degrees, professional licenses, or credentials, and they do not certify professional qualification.

Intellectual Property

All content provided through our website, courses, and materials, including text, images, curriculum, and the Seminary’s names and marks, is owned by the Seminary or its licensors and is protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable license to use course materials for your own learning. You may not copy, distribute, sell, publish, or create derivative works from our materials without our written permission.

Acceptable Use

You agree to use our website and programs lawfully and respectfully. You agree not to disrupt the site or its security, misuse others’ information, or use our programs or materials in any way that infringes the rights of others or violates these Terms.

Educational Purpose; Not Professional Advice

Our programs and materials are offered for educational and spiritual formation purposes. They are not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, mental health, legal, or financial advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Our spiritual care and counseling education prepares participants to serve alongside, not in place of, licensed professionals, and nothing we offer should be relied upon as licensed clinical care. If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, contact a qualified professional or emergency services.

Disclaimers

Our website and programs are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Seminary and its founders, directors, faculty, staff, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising from your use of our website or programs. Our total liability for any claim relating to a program will not exceed the amount you paid for that program.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Seminary and its founders, directors, faculty, staff, and affiliates from any claims, losses, or expenses arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of our website or programs.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms will be subject to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and post the updated Terms on this page. Your continued use of our website or programs after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
