Terms of Service – Ayahuasca-in-Deutschland
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AND LIABILITY
of Ayahuasca-in-Germany
1. with the payment of the desired retreat by bank transfer or PayPal transfer (€ 449 for the 3-day retreat and € 798 for the 5-day retreat) under indication of the purpose of use “Workshop DEEP LEARNING” and the date on which the retreat takes place, the participant agrees to these general terms and conditions.
2. if due to unforeseen circumstances it is not possible to participate in the booked retreat, you can arrange another suitable date with “Ayahuasca-in-Deutschland”.
Cancellation of a booking can be made free of charge up to four weeks before the start of the booked retreat, i.e. you will be refunded the full amount minus a cancel fee of EUR 49.00 for bureaucracy (which is EUR 400.00). In case of a cancellation up to three weeks before the start of the retreat we are unfortunately forced to charge 50% of the full amount, in case of a cancellation up to two weeks 75%; at a later date a cancellation is no longer possible, because we invest a lot of time, energy and costs in the preparation of your retreat and have to plan very carefully in advance to meet the limited number of participants of maximum 24.
If the participant cannot attend the retreat he/she has booked, a substitute person is allowed, provided that the substitute participant’s information has been submitted in time and approved by Ayahuasca-in-Germany. As soon as this substitute person has made his/her payment, the amount for the cancelling person will be refunded. 3.
3. the participant is obliged to carefully read and observe the medical information given on the website and to strictly adhere to the alcohol, drug and medication restrictions.
4. ayahuasca-in-germany has the right to postpone or cancel the retreats for important reasons beyond its control (e.g. force majeure or due to changes in the law). The participant will be notified of this using the contact details provided in his/her registration. In the event of cancellation, the participant will be refunded the amount paid. However, he/she can also use the amount as a voucher to the value of the participation fee already paid and redeem it for a ceremony offered by Ayahuasca-in-Germany in the future. Further liability claims and claims for damages on the part of the participant are excluded, unless they are due to intent or gross negligence on the part of Ayahuasca-in-Germany.
