Terms & Conditions

1. Scope and Purchase via Our Reseller Paddle

These Terms & Conditions govern your registration on our platform and your access to and use of our certification courses.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. When you purchase a course, the purchase contract is concluded with Paddle on the basis of Paddle’s Buyer Terms. Your use of the course is governed by these Terms & Conditions.

After successful payment, your course access is activated in your user account. If you do not yet have an account, one is created automatically with the email address used for the purchase.

2. Services & Interactive Certification Process

KMO provides participants with online instructional videos demonstrating and explaining the required self-defense techniques, tactics, instructional methodology, and safety protocols required for instructor certification.

Participants study and practice these techniques systematically. At the end of each module, the participant records and uploads a homework video to the platform. Our instructor team reviews and evaluates each video submission and provides individual feedback in the form of a feedback video, which is made available to the participant on the platform.

Once a homework assignment is evaluated and marked as passed, the subsequent course module is unlocked. When all required homework submissions and final examinations have been successfully completed and approved, the participant receives an official Krav Maga Online Worldwide Certificate.

3. Participation Requirements for Instructor Certifications

8. Intellectual Property & Homework Videos

All materials, videos, instructional concepts, curriculum structures, and documentation provided on the platform are protected by copyright and intellectual property laws.

Homework videos you upload remain yours. We use them exclusively to evaluate your submissions and to provide feedback within the course.

We will use excerpts of your homework videos for promotional purposes (e.g. on our website or our social media channels) only if you have given us your separate, explicit consent.

9. Health Notice, Personal Responsibility & Limitation of Liability

9.1 Health and Fitness

Martial arts, combat conditioning, and self-defense training are physically demanding activities that carry inherent risks of injury, even when techniques are performed correctly. Before starting any course, you must ensure that you are in adequate physical health. We strongly advise consulting a qualified physician beforehand, in particular if you have pre-existing conditions, injuries, cardiovascular issues, or are pregnant. Do not train if you feel unwell, are injured, or are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication that may impair your judgment or coordination. Our content does not constitute medical advice.

9.2 Personal Responsibility for Training

Our courses are provided as online video content. We do not supervise your training, check your execution of techniques, or assess your physical condition. Online instruction cannot fully replace in-person training under the direct supervision of a qualified instructor. You are solely responsible for:

• deciding whether and which techniques you perform, based on your own abilities and fitness;
• providing a safe training environment (sufficient space, suitable flooring or mats, no obstacles);
• using appropriate protective equipment;
• practicing techniques slowly, in a controlled manner and with reduced force, and stopping immediately if you experience pain or discomfort;
• following all safety instructions given in the course content.

9.3 Training Partners and Third Parties

If you practice with training partners, you are responsible for ensuring that they participate voluntarily, are informed of the risks, are physically fit to train, and that all techniques are performed in a controlled and safe manner. If you teach or demonstrate techniques to others, including after completing an instructor course, you do so independently and under your own responsibility. You are responsible for the safety of your participants, for obtaining any required insurance, and for complying with applicable local laws and regulations. A certificate issued by us confirms the completion of a course only; it does not create any responsibility on our part for your teaching activities.

9.4 Limitation of Liability

We are liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, and in accordance with the German Product Liability Act. In cases of slight negligence, we are only liable for the breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on whose compliance you may regularly rely), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability is excluded. Any contributory fault on your part, in particular disregarding the safety instructions and responsibilities set out in this section, shall be taken into account in accordance with applicable law.

10. Data Protection

We process personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Details can be found in our Privacy Policy.

11. Amendments to the Terms & Conditions

We may amend these Terms & Conditions for the future. Updated versions will be published on this page with the date updated accordingly. Courses already purchased remain subject to the version in force at the time of purchase, unless you agree to the updated version.

12. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence.
