Website terms + conditions

Effective from: 14 August 2026
Version: 1.1

About these terms

These terms govern your use of stevelinney.com and the general content, free resources and digital products made available through it.

By using the website, you agree to follow these terms. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the website.

Paid services are also governed by the specific agreements and information shown when you enquire, book or purchase.

Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer.

Who operates the website

This website is operated by:

Steve Linney trading as Steve Linney Coaching
10 Applesham Way
Brighton
BN41 2LP
United Kingdom

Steve Linney Coaching is operated by Steve Linney as a self-employed sole trader. It isn’t a limited company.

Email: coaching@stevelinney.com
Website: https://www.stevelinney.com/

In these terms, I, me and my refer to Steve Linney. You refers to the person using the website.

What the website covers

The website may include content and services concerning:

  • Coaching
  • Identity, direction + life transitions
  • Transpersonal coaching
  • Psychedelic preparation + integration
  • Meditation and reflective practice
  • Binaural beats
  • Sound + music
  • DJ mixes and music production
  • Marketing, websites + SEO
  • Articles
  • Audio, video and downloadable resources

Not every part of the website is a commercial service.

Some content is offered freely for information, reflection, listening or general interest.

Separate agreements for paid services

These website terms don’t replace the specific agreement governing paid work.

Paid services may be subject to separate terms:

  • Coaching is governed by the coaching agreement accepted during onboarding
  • Marketing work is governed by the relevant proposal, scope or project agreement
  • DJ bookings are governed by a separate booking agreement
  • Speaking, collaboration and event work may be governed by separately agreed terms
  • Digital products are also subject to the description and purchase information shown at checkout

If these website terms conflict with a specific written agreement for a paid service, the specific agreement will normally take priority for that service.

Paid coaching

Paid coaching is booked through CoachAccountable and payments are processed through Stripe.

The current coaching routes are described on the coaching and booking pages.

The coaching agreement explains:

  • What the coaching relationship involves
  • The scope and boundaries of coaching
  • The relevant fees
  • Recurring payments where applicable
  • Rescheduling and missed sessions
  • Pausing or ending coaching
  • Package cancellations and refunds
  • Confidentiality
  • Data handling
  • Statutory cancellation rights

You must read and accept the coaching agreement before paid coaching begins.

A coaching relationship begins only after the required agreement, onboarding, booking and payment process has been completed.

Free coaching conversation

The optional free 30-minute Let’s talk it through conversation is booked through Calendly.

It provides an opportunity to ask questions and get a clearer sense of how coaching works.

It isn’t a coaching session and doesn’t create an ongoing coaching relationship.

Neither of us is obliged to begin a paid coaching relationship following the conversation.

Age restrictions

The general website may be viewed by people under 18.

Paid coaching and psychedelic preparation + integration services are available only to adults aged 18 or over.

Digital products and other resources may carry their own age or suitability guidance where appropriate.

General information, not personal advice

Website content is provided for general information, education and reflection.

Reading an article, watching a video, listening to audio or completing a reflective exercise doesn’t create a coaching relationship.

Unless a separate professional agreement says otherwise, website content isn’t:

  • Personal coaching
  • Counselling or psychotherapy
  • Psychiatric or medical care
  • Diagnosis or treatment
  • Legal advice
  • Financial advice
  • Crisis support
  • A substitute for support from an appropriately qualified professional

You’re responsible for deciding whether any content or practice is appropriate for your circumstances.

If you’re experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, contact the emergency services or an appropriate crisis service where you are.

Coaching content

Content about coaching describes the nature of the work and may help you decide whether to explore it.

It doesn’t promise a particular result.

Coaching outcomes depend on many factors, including the client’s circumstances, participation, decisions and wider support.

General coaching content shouldn’t be treated as a personal assessment or recommendation.

Psychedelic content

Content concerning psychedelics, plant medicine, ceremony or non-ordinary experience is provided for reflection, harm awareness and integration-related education.

It doesn’t:

  • Encourage you to use any substance
  • Confirm that psychedelic use is suitable for you
  • Provide medical or psychiatric screening
  • Recommend a substance
  • Provide dosage advice
  • Provide sourcing
  • Provide facilitation or ceremony holding
  • Provide trip sitting
  • Give legal advice
  • Replace support from an appropriately qualified medical or mental health professional

Laws concerning psychedelics vary between countries and may change. You’re responsible for understanding the law that applies where you are.

Psychedelic preparation + integration coaching is limited to the scope described in the coaching agreement.

The psychedelic experience itself isn’t part of the service.

Binaural beats, meditation + sound

Binaural beats, meditation, guided audio and sound-based resources are offered as supportive listening and reflective practices.

They aren’t medical treatments. No claim is made that they diagnose, prevent, treat or cure a health condition.

When using audio content:

  • Listen at a comfortable volume
  • Don’t listen while driving, cycling, operating machinery or doing anything requiring full external attention
  • Use the audio in a safe environment
  • Stop if you experience discomfort, distress, dizziness, disorientation or another unwanted effect
  • Seek appropriate professional advice if you have epilepsy, seizures, significant hearing concerns or another condition that may make audio or meditation unsuitable
  • Take additional care if meditation or altered-state practices have previously caused distress or destabilisation

You remain responsible for how and where you use the content.

Movement + physical practices

Any movement, breathing or embodied practice described on the website is general information rather than personal instruction.

Work within your own physical limits and stop if you experience pain, dizziness or distress.

Seek medical or appropriately qualified professional advice if you have an injury, health condition, pregnancy-related concern or uncertainty about whether a practice is suitable.

Accuracy + changing information

I take reasonable care when creating and maintaining the website.

However:

  • Content may become outdated
  • Research and professional understanding may change
  • External links may change or disappear
  • Articles may express personal interpretation or lived experience
  • Mistakes may occasionally occur

I may correct, update, remove or reorganise content when necessary.

If you notice a significant error, contact coaching@stevelinney.com.

Personal stories

Some content draws on personal experience, including meditation, fasting, cold water, psychedelics, career change, identity and health.

A personal account isn’t evidence that the same practice will be safe, useful or effective for someone else.

It shouldn’t be treated as an instruction or recommendation to follow the same path.

Testimonials + examples

Testimonials, feedback and examples describe individual experiences.

They don’t guarantee that another person will experience the same outcome.

Where an example has been anonymised, adapted or combined to protect confidentiality, it will be handled responsibly and won’t knowingly be presented in a misleading way.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, original website content belongs to Steve Linney or is used with appropriate permission.

This may include:

  • Written copy
  • Articles
  • Coaching frameworks
  • Exercises
  • Workbooks
  • Audio
  • Original music
  • Video
  • Photography
  • Illustrations
  • Graphics
  • Branding
  • Page layouts
  • Downloadable resources

Copyright protection arises automatically. These terms don’t transfer ownership to you.

Permitted use

You may:

  • Read and view public website content
  • Listen to publicly available audio and mixes
  • Download resources where a download is expressly provided
  • Share links to public pages
  • Quote a short and reasonable extract with clear attribution and a link to the original page
  • Use purchased or free resources privately for their intended personal purpose

Any quotation must be fair, proportionate and not presented in a misleading context.

Uses requiring permission

Unless permitted by law or agreed in writing, you may not:

  • Copy or reproduce substantial parts of the website
  • Republish complete articles or resources
  • Sell, license or commercially exploit the content
  • Share paid downloads with other people
  • Remove copyright notices, credits or branding
  • Modify and redistribute resources
  • Present the content as your own
  • Use content to create a competing product or service
  • Extract content at scale
  • Add content to a commercial dataset
  • Use content to train or develop an artificial intelligence or machine-learning system
  • Use automated tools to reproduce or harvest content beyond ordinary search-engine indexing

Requests for permission should be sent to coaching@stevelinney.com.

Nothing in this section prevents a use expressly permitted by applicable copyright law.

DJ mixes + third-party music

DJ mixes may contain recordings, compositions and performances owned or controlled by artists, labels, publishers and other rights holders.

I don’t claim ownership of third-party music simply because it appears within a mix.

A platform may host, limit, monetise, mute or remove a mix according to its licensing arrangements and terms.

You may listen through the authorised player or platform.

You may not extract, redistribute, sell or commercially use recordings from a mix.

References to artists, labels and tracks don’t imply endorsement or a commercial relationship unless this is stated.

External services + embedded content

The website may link to or use services including:

  • CoachAccountable
  • Stripe
  • Calendly
  • YouTube
  • Mixcloud
  • Social media platforms
  • Research and reference sources
  • Other independent websites

External services have their own terms, privacy practices and content standards.

A link doesn’t automatically mean that I endorse everything published by another website or accept responsibility for it.

I’m not responsible for the availability, security, content or accuracy of an independent third-party service.

Your use of CoachAccountable, Stripe and Calendly may also be subject to their applicable user-facing terms and privacy information.

Website forms

You agree to provide accurate information when using a website form.

You must not use a form to:

  • Send spam
  • Distribute malicious material
  • Impersonate another person
  • Harass or threaten
  • Make a fraudulent enquiry or booking
  • Submit information you have no right to share
  • Attempt to compromise the website or its services

Submitting a general enquiry doesn’t oblige either of us to enter a commercial or coaching relationship.

General website forms shouldn’t be used to send detailed medical, mental health, psychedelic or other highly sensitive information.

Information submitted through forms is handled according to the privacy policy.

Email sign-ups + free resources

Some free resources may require an email address for delivery.

Receiving a resource and consenting to marketing are separate choices.

You won’t be added to ongoing marketing unless you have given the relevant permission or another lawful basis applies.

You may unsubscribe from marketing at any time.

Free downloads remain subject to the personal-use and intellectual-property terms in this document.

Digital products

The website may offer paid digital products in the future, including:

  • PDFs
  • Workbooks
  • Audio
  • Guided meditations
  • Reflective exercises
  • Self-directed coaching resources
  • Bundled digital materials

The product page will provide the relevant description, price, format and delivery information before purchase.

Any technical requirements, age restrictions or material limitations should also be shown where relevant.

A digital resource is self-directed unless its description expressly includes personal coaching or another live service.

Forming a digital-product contract

A digital-product contract is formed when:

  • You submit an order
  • Payment is accepted
  • The order is accepted and confirmed

You should check the product description and compatibility information before buying.

An automated acknowledgement that an order has been received doesn’t necessarily mean it has been accepted if an obvious pricing, availability or product-description error has occurred.

If I cancel an order because of an obvious error, any payment taken will be refunded.

Delivery of digital products

Digital products may be delivered through:

  • An immediate download
  • A private download link
  • Email
  • Access to an online resource
  • Another method explained on the product page

You’re responsible for providing a working email address and maintaining a device, connection and software capable of using the stated format.

Contact coaching@stevelinney.com if you have completed a valid purchase but can’t access the product.

Cancellation rights for digital content

Consumers who purchase digital content online will normally have a 14-day cancellation period.

Digital content may be supplied during that period when you:

  • Expressly consent to supply beginning before the cancellation period ends
  • Acknowledge that your right to cancel will be lost when digital supply begins
  • Receive confirmation of that agreement

Where immediate access is offered, the checkout should request this consent and acknowledgement separately.

If you don’t provide the required consent, delivery may be delayed until the cancellation period has ended.

This doesn’t affect your rights where digital content is faulty, not as described or otherwise fails to meet applicable legal requirements.

Digital-product refunds

A change-of-mind refund won’t normally be available after digital supply has begun with the express consent and acknowledgement described above.

A refund, repair, replacement or other remedy may still be available where required by consumer law, including where the digital content:

  • Is faulty
  • Is materially different from its description
  • Can’t be accessed because of a problem with the product or delivery
  • Doesn’t meet an applicable statutory standard

Contact coaching@stevelinney.com with your order information and a description of the problem.

Nothing in these terms removes your statutory consumer rights.

Digital-product licence

Unless the product page states otherwise, purchasing or receiving a digital product gives you a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use it for your own non-commercial purposes.

You may make reasonable personal backup copies.

You may not:

  • Share the file or access link
  • Upload it to a shared drive or public platform
  • Resell it
  • Include it in your own service, course or membership
  • Reproduce substantial parts of it
  • Modify and redistribute it
  • Use it to train an artificial intelligence system
  • Claim authorship or ownership

If a practitioner, organisation or group wants to use a resource with clients, members or participants, written permission or a separate licence is required.

Prices + payment

Prices for digital products will be shown before purchase.

Any applicable taxes or additional charges will be displayed or explained before the order is completed.

Payment may be processed by Stripe or another payment provider identified at checkout.

I don’t receive or store complete payment-card details.

Coaching fees and recurring-payment arrangements are governed by the coaching agreement rather than this section.

Promotions + discount codes

Promotions may be subject to additional conditions shown with the offer.

Unless stated otherwise:

  • Discount codes can’t be exchanged for cash
  • Only one code may be used per purchase
  • Codes may have an expiry date
  • A promotion doesn’t apply retrospectively
  • A code obtained or used fraudulently may be refused

Any significant restriction will be made clear before purchase.

Affiliates, sponsorship + gifted products

The website doesn’t currently rely on affiliate links, sponsorships or gifted-product recommendations.

If a commercial relationship is introduced, it will be identified clearly and prominently where relevant.

Payment, commission or a free product won’t be concealed in a way that could mislead visitors about the nature of a recommendation.

Acceptable use

You must not:

  • Use the website unlawfully
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access
  • Interfere with its operation or security
  • Introduce malware or harmful code
  • Probe for vulnerabilities without written permission
  • Scrape content at scale
  • Overload the website or connected services
  • Use forms for spam, abuse or fraudulent enquiries
  • Impersonate another person
  • Infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights
  • Use website content to mislead, exploit or harm another person

I may block access or take appropriate action where misuse is reasonably suspected.

Website availability

I aim to keep the website available, but uninterrupted access can’t be guaranteed.

The website may occasionally be unavailable because of:

  • Maintenance
  • Security work
  • Hosting problems
  • Provider outages
  • Technical faults
  • Events outside my reasonable control

I may change, suspend or remove pages, features and free resources without notice.

Where a paid product or service is affected, the relevant consumer rights and specific agreement will continue to apply.

Security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect the website, but no internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You’re responsible for protecting your device, connection and account credentials used with third-party services.

Please report a suspected website-security problem privately to coaching@stevelinney.com rather than publishing details that could increase the risk.

Responsibility when using the website

You’re responsible for:

  • How you interpret and use general content
  • Decisions made after reading, viewing or listening
  • Checking whether a practice is appropriate for you
  • Seeking qualified support where needed
  • Following the laws that apply where you are
  • Using third-party websites according to their terms
  • Protecting your own devices and account credentials

This doesn’t remove any responsibility that the law places on me.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for:

  • Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
  • Death or personal injury caused by negligence
  • Breach of statutory consumer rights
  • Any other liability that can’t lawfully be excluded

Subject to those protections, I’m not responsible for losses caused solely by:

  • A visitor treating general information as personal professional advice
  • Misuse of the website or its content
  • An independent third-party website or service outside my reasonable control
  • A failure to follow clearly stated safety guidance
  • Events outside my reasonable control

I don’t exclude responsibility for failing to provide a paid service or digital product with the standard required by law.

Privacy + cookies

Personal information is handled according to the privacy policy:

https://www.stevelinney.com/privacy/

Cookie choices are managed through CookieYes.

Non-essential analytics, advertising and embedded-media technologies should operate in accordance with the consent choices available through the website.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated when the website, services, technology or legal requirements change.

The current version and effective date will appear at the top of this page.

Changes won’t retrospectively remove rights that have already arisen under an existing purchase or separate agreement.

A material change to an ongoing paid service will be handled through the agreement governing that service.

If part of these terms can’t be enforced

If a provision is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply where they can reasonably do so.

Delayed enforcement

If I don’t enforce a provision immediately, that doesn’t automatically mean it has been permanently waived.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

The courts of England and Wales will normally have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer rights available in the country where you live.

Questions + complaints

Questions, concerns and complaints should be sent to:

coaching@stevelinney.com

I’ll normally acknowledge a formal complaint within five working days and provide a fuller written response within 20 working days.

If more time is needed, I’ll explain why and provide an updated response date.

This doesn’t affect your statutory rights or your right to use another complaint, regulatory or legal route available to you.
