These terms apply to the Studio Directory at shibaristudy.com/studios ("Directory") and take precedence over the general "Users Meet-ups" section of our main Terms & Conditions for any listing, event, or organizer found through the Directory.
- Informational purpose only. The Directory helps you discover in-person events, studios, and instructors. It is not a booking platform or marketplace.
- Community Listings and Studio Partners. The Directory contains two types of listings. Community Listings are created and maintained by the studio, instructor, or organizer and are subject to a basic review only. Shibari Study does not verify, vet, or endorse Community Listings. Listings marked “Studio Partner” belong to studios that participate in the Shibari Study Studio Partnership Program. Studio Partners are vetted through ongoing conversations about consent, safety practices, and accountability, as described at shibaristudy.com/studios/partner-studios. Shibari Study cannot observe every class or verify interactions at a Studio Partner. Inclusion in the Directory, including as a Studio Partner, is not a certification or guarantee of quality or safety.
- Listers are independent. Studios, instructors, and organizers ("Listers") are independent third parties, not employees, agents, or partners of Shibari Study.
- Not a party to bookings or attendance. Shibari Study is not a party to any booking, payment, or attendance arrangement between you and a Lister.
- Attend at your own risk. You attend any listed event at your own discretion and risk. Read our guide on how to vet a listing first. Our liability is governed by Section 28 (Limitation of Liability) of our Terms & Conditions.
- Reporting. To flag a Code of Conduct or legal concern, email mail@shibaristudy.com or write to us at Shibari Study GmbH, Grunewaldstraße 85, 10823 Berlin, Germany. We review reports and act on them, which may mean editing, suspending, or removing a listing. You can also report studios directly by opening the Directory and using the Report link on the listing page.
- Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of Germany.
