Disclaimer & Health Disclaimer
This website, www.minca.es (the "Website"), is operated by Julia Stewart, a self-employed professional (trabajadora autónoma) registered in Spain, trading as MINCA ("MINCA," "we," "us," or "our").
By accessing and using this Website, including any content, videos, downloadable resources, programs, and services provided on or through it, you agree to this Disclaimer. Please read it thoroughly before using the Website. If you do not agree to this Disclaimer, you should not use the Website.
Educational and Informational Use Only
All material provided on this Website — including videos, routines, PDFs, programs, emails, and social media content — is intended for educational and informational purposes only. It is offered as general guidance for gentle movement and mobility practice and is not tailored to any individual's circumstances.
Health and Medical Disclaimer
MINCA offers movement-based content, including tai chi–inspired warmups, mobility routines, and related exercises. This content is not medical advice, physical therapy, rehabilitation, or a treatment for any condition, and Julia Stewart is not a physician, physiotherapist, or licensed healthcare provider.
Consult your doctor before you begin. Before starting any of our routines or programs, consult your physician or another qualified healthcare provider — especially if you have a chronic condition, heart condition, balance concerns, or osteoporosis, are recovering from surgery or injury, are pregnant, or have any other condition that may affect your ability to exercise safely. Never disregard professional medical advice, and never delay seeking it, because of something you have seen or read on this Website.
Listen to your body. Movement carries an inherent risk of injury. Work within your own comfortable range, use support (such as a chair or wall) whenever you need it, and stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or anything that does not feel right. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Assumption of risk. By choosing to follow any routine, video, or resource from MINCA, you do so voluntarily and at your own risk. You accept full responsibility for practising safely, within your own abilities, and in a safe environment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release MINCA and Julia Stewart from any liability for injury, loss, or damage arising from your participation in any movement or exercise featured on this Website or in our resources.
Not a Substitute for Professional Advice
The information on this Website and in our downloadable resources does not constitute professional advice of any kind — medical, therapeutic, legal, or financial — and should not be treated as such. We strive to make our content accurate and valuable, but nothing here replaces personalised guidance from a qualified professional who understands your specific situation. We explicitly encourage you to seek such advice. MINCA is not responsible for any harm resulting from your decision not to seek professional advice tailored to your circumstances.
No Practitioner–Client Relationship
Using this Website, watching our videos, purchasing our products, or applying suggestions from our resources does not create a practitioner–client, therapist–patient, or any other professional relationship between you and MINCA or Julia Stewart.
Personal Responsibility
You are personally responsible for your own choices, actions, and results. You agree to bear full responsibility for any outcome, positive or negative, that follows from using or not using the information on this Website or in our resources. Please exercise your own judgement before acting on anything you find here.
No Promises of Specific Results
We do not guarantee any particular result from following our routines or programs — including improvements in mobility, balance, strength, pain, or general wellbeing. Every body is different. Progress depends on your consistency, health, history, and many other factors beyond our control, and your experience may differ from that of others.
Testimonials
Testimonials shared on this Website and on our social media reflect the real experiences of individual members of our community. They are not promises that you will experience the same results. Each person's experience will vary.
Errors and Omissions
This Website is a general information resource. We take reasonable care to keep its content accurate and current, but we cannot guarantee it is free of errors or omissions. All content is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, and you agree to verify any information before relying on it.
References to Other Products and Services
From time to time we may mention products, services, teachers, or resources created by others. These mentions are not endorsements, and we are not responsible for third-party content. Please carry out your own research before relying on any third-party product or service.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MINCA and Julia Stewart shall not be liable for any damages — direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential — arising from your use of this Website, its content, or its resources. Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under Spanish or EU law, including liability arising from fraud or from consumer rights that apply to you by statute. If you are dissatisfied with any part of the Website or with this Disclaimer, your sole remedy is to stop using the Website.
