Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of my.halfnester.com and the Half Nester™ offerings (the Email Course, Full Course, Sessions, and any related materials). By using the site or buying anything from us, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Who we are

Half Nester™ is operated by Dr. Valerie Woo. Contact: val@drvaleriewoo.com.

What you’re buying

When you purchase one of our offerings, you’re buying personal, non-transferable access to that content for as long as the offering remains available, plus any one-time deliverables (e.g., the workbook). Pricing, included content, and access duration are described on the relevant offer page at the time you buy.

We may improve, update, or restructure courses over time. Where reasonable, we keep equivalent or better content available to existing buyers.

Refunds

If a purchase isn’t what you expected, email us within 14 days and we’ll work with you on a refund or credit. Refunds for live cohort/session offerings are limited once a cohort has begun. Specific refund terms may be stated on each offer’s checkout page; those take precedence.

Acceptable use

• Don’t share your account, login, or course materials with people who haven’t paid.
• Don’t copy, redistribute, sell, or republish our videos, workbook, or written materials.
• Don’t use the site or content to harass others, make medical claims, or pretend to be us.
• Don’t scrape, reverse-engineer, or interfere with the site’s normal operation.

We may pause or revoke access if these terms are violated.

Course content is educational, not medical

Half Nester™ offers reflection tools, frameworks, and community for navigating midlife transitions. It is notmedical advice, mental-health counseling, or therapy. Nothing on this site or in any of our courses substitutes for care from a licensed clinician. If you’re in crisis or your symptoms are serious, please reach out to a qualified professional.

Intellectual property

Half Nester™, the tagline “Forget Balance. Find Your Rhythm.™,” and the LEADS framework are trademarks of Dr. Valerie Woo. All course videos, written content, the workbook, and the website’s design and code are owned by us or our licensors. Your purchase grants you a personal license to use them; it does not transfer ownership.

Third-party services

We use third-party providers for hosting, payments, video, and email delivery. Their terms apply to those parts of the service. See our Privacy Policy for the list and what each provider does for us.

Disclaimers and liability

The site and content are provided on an “as is” basis. We make no warranties about uninterrupted availability or specific outcomes from following any course material. To the fullest extent allowed by law, our liability for any claim related to the site or our content is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when our offerings or processes change. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect any revisions. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Loudoun County, Virginia.
