Last updated: November 12, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the GoDeeper application, including the GoDeeper AI Coach (“App”), IMBR Academy at academy.imbr.org (“Academy”), and any services offered through the App or the Academy. By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms, which establish a contractual relationship between you and IMBR. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the App. Where these Terms say “the App”, they also apply to the Academy.
1. Eligibility
To use the App, you must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction if that age happens to be greater than 18. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these age requirements and that you have the right, authority, and capacity to agree to and abide by these Terms.
2. User Accounts
When creating an account with GoDeeper, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information as requested during the registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to immediately notify IMBR of any unauthorized use of your account or other security breaches.
Accounts are personal. Do not share your account or let others use your IMBR Academy course access.
3. User Conduct
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not use the App to:
- Engage in any activity that would disrupt, damage, or interfere with the App or its performance.
- Upload, post, transmit, or otherwise disseminate information that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, deceptive, fraudulent, or otherwise objectionable.
- Violate the privacy or infringe the rights of others, including intellectual property rights.
- Copy, resell or publish IMBR Academy course content, assessment questions or answers.
4. Participation & Subscription
Participants may use the App for up to six months free of charge, provided they contribute at least ten qualifying sessions per month. A qualifying session must be at least 20 minutes long with at least four tap events indicating changes in meditation depth. After the initial six months, continued use of the App requires a subscription.
IMBR Academy Courses and Purchases
IMBR Academy offers self-paced modules. Module 0 is free with an account. Other modules are paid, unless you receive access as an IMBR study participant or through a valid coupon or access code. Prices are shown on each module page in US dollars; Stripe may also show the amount in your local currency, and any taxes required by law are added at checkout. Payments are processed by Stripe, and by paying you also accept Stripe’s terms. Access starts once the payment succeeds, is personal, and lasts as long as we offer the module.
Coupons and Access Codes
Coupons and access codes are personal, can be used once per account, have no cash value, and may expire or be limited in number. Enter them on the module page or on the Course Syllabus, not on Stripe’s checkout page. We may cancel a code that was shared publicly or obtained by mistake.
Refunds
You can ask for a full refund within 30 days of purchase if you have not started the module assessment. Email info@imbr.org with your account email. Refunds go back to the original payment method, and access to the refunded module ends. This does not limit any rights you have under consumer protection law where you live.
Assessments and Certificates
Each module ends with an assessment. You pass with a score of 85% or higher. You have three attempts; after three failed attempts you can try again after one month. Passing earns a certificate of completion for that module. The certificate is not a professional license or a medical qualification.
Educational Content, Not Medical Advice
IMBR Academy lessons and GoDeeper AI Coach reports are for education and personal practice. They are not medical, psychological or therapeutic advice, diagnosis or treatment. AI Coach reports are generated automatically and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Meditation can bring up difficult experiences; if you have a health condition, or a practice feels distressing, stop and talk to a qualified professional.
5. Intellectual Property
All rights, title, and interest in and to the App, including all related intellectual property rights, are and will remain the exclusive property of IMBR and its licensors. The terms GoDeeper, IMBR, and our logos, and other related graphics, logos, service marks, and trade names used on or in connection with the App are the trademarks of IMBR and may not be used without permission in connection with any third-party products or services.
IMBR Academy content, including lessons, images, assessments and certificates, belongs to IMBR and its licensors. You may use it for your own learning only.
6. Data Use and Privacy
IMBR collects and uses your EEG (Brain data) and PPG (Heart beat data), along with other information you provide, in accordance with our Privacy Policy. All personal data is anonymized before use in research to protect your privacy. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for detailed information on how we handle your data.
7. App Updates
To keep the App functioning optimally, periodic updates may be required. Because GoDeeper is a web app, most updates are downloaded automatically like a webpage. You will be notified to reinstall if there is any need for a change in the code on your phone.
8. Termination
IMBR may terminate these Terms and your access to the App at any time without notice, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the App and delete all copies from your devices.
If we close a paid IMBR Academy module for reasons other than a breach of these Terms, we will offer a refund or access to equivalent content.
9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms or the App will be resolved through mediation, and if unresolved through mediation, then by binding arbitration.
10. Disclaimers
The App and all associated services are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. IMBR disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, non-infringement, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, IMBR shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the App.
Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
12. Changes to Terms
IMBR reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of these changes by updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this document and by posting the revised Terms on the App. Your continued use of the App after such changes have been notified will constitute your consent to such changes.
