About Taibeet Hapkido Self-Defence Academy
Taibeet Hapkido Self-Defence Academy (“Taibeet Hapkido” or "THASA") is the division of Taibeet that provides and delivers Hapkido-based martial arts and self-defence training and other related services to individuals and businesses (hereby defined as the “Self-Defence Services”, or “Hapkido Services”, or “Services”).
Taibeet Hapkido delivers its Services through its team and network of local and/or international coaches, trainers and/or instructors (“Instructors”).
The Services are delivered through training, testing, grading and other sessions (the “Sessions”) at locations determined by Taibeet Hapkido (the "Locations"). The duration of a Session (the “Duration”) is determined by Taibeet Hapkido at its sole discretion.
Taibeet Hapkido is a member of the Australian Hapkido Association (“AHA”, or “Association”), whose website is at https://hapkidoaustralia.com
All individuals and businesses who sign up and/or register for and/or purchase Taibeet Hapkido’s Services and/or become members, students and/or trainees of Taibeet Hapkido are hereby defined as clients of Taibeet (the “Clients”, “you” or “your”) and agree to be bound by the Taibeet Hapkido terms and conditions (the “Taibeet Hapkido Terms”, or “Terms”) at all times.
By proceeding with the Services (including but not limited to signing/approving the Taibeet Hapkido Student/Trainee Onboarding Form and attending Sessions), you confirm that you have accessed and read these Terms and that you agree/consent to them.
If you are a business who is a client of Taibeet Hapkido, you confirm and agree that your staff, personnel and/or contractors who attend the Sessions (“Your Staff”) have read these Terms and agree to be bound by them at all times. Your Staff is included in the “Clients”, “you” and “your” definitions above-mentioned.
1) Personal Information
You have voluntarily provided your personal information, and consent for us to collect, store and use it to communicate with you on all matters relating to the Services.
2) Sessions Delivery Mode
a) We deliver Sessions in two ways:
(i) Face-to-Face Physical (“F2F-Physical”) Sessions, at location(s) determined by us – this is our default session delivery mode;
or
(ii) Face-to-Face Video (“F2F-Video”) Sessions, via a secure 3rd party online video platform (such as Zoom). This is a delivery mode we may use from time to time (for example during pandemic times when F2F-Physical Sessions are not possible or not allowed by local authorities). The mode of delivery of the Sessions is to be determined by us.
b) When the Services are delivered via the F2F-Video mode, the online video platform used for the Services will be secure, with, to the best of our knowledge, content encrypted using 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) – this is basically the same level of encryption used by banks. A unique and private URL/link (and password) will be provided to you to join each F2F-Video Session for added privacy and security.
3) For F2F-Video Sessions
For an optimal experience of the Services delivered via an online video platform, we recommend that you do the following:
a) Use a good and stable internet connection with LAN connection if possible. Otherwise ensure a good WiFi or 4G/5G signal strength.
b) Ensure the camera and microphone of the device (e.g. desktop, laptop or tablet) you are using, and your earphones/headphones are working well.
c) For confidentiality and privacy, use a private, enclosed and safe space or room to avoid distractions and people nearby listening in.
d) In the event that you experience a disruption/disconnection, remain calm and patient, and try to re-establish connection by clicking on the provided URL/link to rejoin the session. If repeated attempts are unsuccessful for 10 minutes or more, we will contact you via phone, WhatsApp and/or email.
4) Media Disclaimer
You understand that sometimes photographs and videos are taken during training and gradings in order to promote Taibeet Hapkido and/or the AHA, and that as a client of Taibeet Hapkido (AHA) you (and/or your trainees, if you are a business) may potentially be in these photos or videos. These photos or videos may appear on our Taibeet Website, on our marketing materials (such as brochures and flyers), on our social media platforms (such as Facebook and Instagram) and/or on the AHA’s website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, brochures and flyers and any other media.
If at any time you do not want any images of you published or displayed or if you want any photos which include your image removed from any media, you agree to notify Taibeet Hapkido in writing and Taibeet Hapkido will arrange for the removal of such images as soon as it can.
5) You agree to the following:
a) You will abide by the rules of Taibeet Hapkido and of the AHA.
b) You will abide by the membership oath of the AHA.
c) We may withhold/stop your training, your Session and/or we may stop you from attending future Sessions if you violate the spirit of Hapkido, of Taibeet Hapkido and/or of the AHA, as solely judged by us.
d) You will abide by the teachings and instructions of Taibeet Hapkido and/or our Instructors, and will maintain safe training practice for yourself and your fellow Hapkido participants/trainees at all times.
e) You understand you are partaking in a Martial Art and Self-Defence System which may involve hard physical activity and demands, and may involve you training with other participants/trainees whilst not under close supervision at all times. By taking parts in Hapkido and/or the Sessions you do so at your own risk and you accept sole personal responsibility for any injury.
f) You agree that you will not make any claim against the AHA, its instructors, its students, trainees, officers or employees in respect of any loss or injury which you may (directly or indirectly) suffer during the course of your training with Taibeet Hapkido, and/or during the Sessions.
g) You agree that you will not make any claim against Taibeet Hapkido, our Instructors, students, trainees, Clients and/or Consultants in respect of any loss or injury which you may (directly or indirectly) suffer during the course of your training with Taibeet Hapkido, and/or during the Sessions.
h) You understand Taibeet and Taibeet Hapkido do not cover you with insurance. You understand you are responsible for getting your own medical insurance, health insurance and/or income protection insurance, and your own personal accident insurance.
6) Payments for Sessions
a) For payment of Sessions, please note that we do not accept cash. This is for health and safety reasons, particularly since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

c) When making payment to us, please quote the invoice or client number that we will provide. This is to ensure we correctly allocate the payment to your account.

For this we shall reserve the right to engage the services of debt collection agencies (the “Agencies”) to collect on our behalf any amount of monies owed by you to us.
