Retreat Waiver

TERMS OF SERVICE

It is your responsibility to fully understand the terms and conditions for the Retreat. Please read carefully what is and is not included in your Retreat package. Should you have questions regarding the terms and conditions, we are available for consultation and would be happy to clarify any areas in advance of signing a contract with us.

PAYMENT TERMS AND CANCELLATION

1. Retreat Pricing

All prices are per person and are set well in advance of the Retreat start date. Prices include Retreat costs only; they do not include travel costs to and from the Retreat, except for pick-up and drop-off service (only if explicitly stated by the host).

All prices are stated in EUR unless otherwise specified. Any currency conversion fees or international transaction fees are the responsibility of the participant.

2. Retreat Payment & Deposit

Payment can be made by bank transfer or via PayPal. If a non-refundable deposit is made, the remaining balance will be due no later than 30 days (in some cases 90 days, will be explicitly stated) prior to the Retreat start date. Participants will receive a reminder email one week prior to the due date. If full payment is not received by this deadline, we reserve the right to cancel your reservation and fill your spot. In this case, a deposit cannot be refunded. We will make every effort to avoid this situation by contacting you prior to and on the day of the balance due date.

3. Cancellation by Participant

If you wish to cancel your Retreat, you must notify Jacqueline Friebe (“The Host”) in writing via email at [email protected].

Deposits are non-refundable. Any payments made after the final payment deadline stated in Section 2 are non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law.

No refunds will be issued for late arrival, early departure, unused services, or non-participation in scheduled activities.

We strongly recommend that participants obtain comprehensive travel, health, and medical evacuation insurance that covers international travel and retreat-based activities to cover cancellation, interruption, illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances.

4. Transfer Policy

Transfers of reservations initiated by the participant are not permitted. Any such transfer is offered at the sole discretion of The Host and does not constitute an entitlement.

5. Retreat Cancellations

The Host reserves the right to make any changes deemed necessary; including, but not limited to: advertised excursions, arranged transportation, advertised meals, etc. In the rare case of a Retreat cancellation, The Host will offer a transfer to another Retreat (if possible) or a full refund of your payment. The Host is not responsible for any expenses or damages incurred as a result of Retreat cancellation including preparation costs, airline tickets, travel documents or other expenses. The Host reserves the right to cancel any Retreat prior to departure in the event that there are too few people booked, in which case you will be given a full refund of any and all payments made to The Host. You will not be entitled to claim any additional amounts or seek any compensation for any injury, loss, expenses or damages (either direct or consequential) or for any loss of time or inconvenience which may result from such cancellation (including but not limited to visa, passport and vaccination charges, or departure, gear purchases, airport and airline taxes).

6. Travel Documents

Participants are responsible for ensuring they meet all passport, visa, and entry requirements applicable to their nationality and destination country. If you are travelling with your non-EU family members check the specific rules that apply to them.

ROOMMATES

7. Roommate Assignments

Retreat rates are per person. Double or otherwise advertised shared rooms require shared occupancy for the specified room rate. If you book a shared room without specified roommate(s), we will do our very best to match you with your desired room type and price point. In the event we can't find you a roommate for your first pick, we will present you with different rooming options.

PHYSICAL TRAINING RELEASE OF LIABILITY

12. Express Assumption of Risk

I, the undersigned, am aware that there are significant risks involved in physical training, including but not limited to, the physical training inherent to all Yoga & Breathwork exercise activities, and that my participation in any such physical training program carries with it the potential for death, injury, and/or property damage.

These risks are not only inherent to physical training but are also present for volunteers and spectators. I am aware that any of these above mentioned risks may result in serious injury or death to myself and or my partner(s). I willingly assume full responsibility for the risks that I am exposing myself to and accept full responsibility for any injury or death that may result from participating, volunteering or watching in any physical training, including this yoga program. I realize that liability may arise from negligence or carelessness by the persons or entities being released, from dangerous or defective equipment or property owned, maintained or controlled by them or because of their possible liability without fault. I acknowledge that I have no physical impairments, injuries, or illnesses that will endanger me or others.

I acknowledge that I am willingly participating in these activities and that I have assumed all risks as described above. In consideration for my being allowed to participate in the activities offered, I, the undersigned hereby release The Host, and any instructors, teachers, facilitators, contractors, employees, agents, volunteers, assistants, venue partners, or service providers, whether based in Germany, the United States, or any other jurisdiction (‘Released Parties’) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions or rights of action, which are related to, arise out of, or are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, including those allegedly attributed to the negligent acts or omissions of the above mentioned parties.

This agreement shall be binding upon me, my successors, representatives, heirs, executors, assigns, or transferees. If any portion of this agreement is held invalid, I agree that the remainder of the agreement shall remain in full legal force and effect. If I am signing on behalf of a minor child, I also give full permission for any person connected with The Host or its affiliated organization to administer first aid deemed necessary, and in case of serious illness or injury, I give permission to call for medical and or surgical care for the child and to transport the child to a medical facility deemed necessary for the well being of the child.

Indemnification: The participant recognizes that there is risk involved in the types of activities offered. Therefore, the participant accepts financial responsibility for any injury that the participant may cause either to him/herself or to any other participant due to his/her negligence. Should the above mentioned parties, or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to reimburse them for such fees and costs.

I acknowledge that I am responsible for monitoring my own physical, emotional, and mental well-being during all Breathwork and Retreat activities and agree to pause or stop participation at any time should I feel discomfort or distress.

I understand that these practices are not a substitute for medical, psychological, or psychiatric treatment.

I acknowledge that participation may involve psychological or emotional experiences and confirm that I am not currently under medical or psychiatric care that would make participation inadvisable without professional approval.
