"Loved everything! Wunderbar!

This was my first yoga retreat and it exceeded my expectations on all levels: stunning location in the Swiss Alps, the coziest hotel with friendly staff that makes you feel at home, a sparkling yoga teacher bubbling with positive energy, that will guide you through different yoga styles and help you gain strength in your body and peace in your mind.

I love here today feeling stronger and grateful for my body, with a calm mind and loving heart. Thank you for helping me achieve this!

Thank you for your laughter Elena! Best medicine in the world!

I hope we meet again."

Contractual Parties:

These Terms of Service pertain to all contractual associations between Activ Retreats and its clients.

Services:

Activ Retreats provides yoga retreats (Retreats) at selected venues worldwide. A Retreat includes accommodation at a specific venue and a defined program of yoga and meditation classes/trainings held at that location. Other travel services, such as transportation and transfers, are not offered or managed by Activ Retreats.

Activ Retreats reserves the right to substitute venues or teachers/trainers for Retreats. Substituted venues must meet the same standards as the original venue, and new teachers/trainers must possess similar qualifications. Clients will be promptly informed of such changes. Refer to section 5 for cancellations.

Booking:

To secure a place in a Yoga Retreat, clients must complete a registration form (online or offline) and submit the required non-refundable deposit. A booking is only confirmed when Activ Retreats has received the non-refundable deposit, the completed registration form, and issued a booking confirmation to the client.

Payment Terms:

The non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking. Full payment for the Yoga Retreat is required three months prior to the retreat, unless otherwise instructed by Activ Retreats. In some cases, a second installment may be payable directly to the retreat venue, with varying payment deadlines. Failure to make timely payments will result in a EUR 70 late payment fee.

Cancellations:

- Cancellation 90 days or more before the Retreat: The deposit or full payment (if due) can be transferred to a new Activ Retreats to be taken within 12 months from the date of cancellation, subject to availability.

- Cancellation 30-90 days before the Retreat: Half of the full payment is forfeited, and the remaining half can be transferred to a new Activ Retreats , as per the conditions in section 5.

- Cancellation 0-30 days before the Retreat: The full payment is forfeited and non-transferable.

- No-shows, late arrivals, or early departures are not eligible for credits or refunds.

In case of client default (nonpayment or partial payment), Activ Retreats may cancel the booking, and any received amounts are non-refundable. Activ Retreats is not responsible for additional costs associated with such cancellations.

If Activ Retreats cancels a booked Retreat for reasons other than force majeure, clients may request a full payment transfer to another retreat or apply for a full refund. Activ Retreats is not liable for additional costs related to such cancellations.

In the event of a Retreat cancellation due to force majeure, no transfers or refunds of deposits or payments are possible. Force majeure includes events beyond Activ Retreats' control, such as wars, strikes, natural disasters, or venue-related issues.

Liability:

Activ Retreats' liability for any harm or damage to a client or their property caused by actions related to the Retreat is excluded unless Activ Retreats demonstrates gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intent. Activ Retreats is not liable for harm or damage that may occur during a client's transit to or from the Retreat.

Clients understand and accept that physical activities, including yoga, carry inherent risks. While Activ Retreats' teachers/trainers are qualified and experienced, clients are responsible for their own well-being during yoga practice and must listen to their bodies to prevent injury.

Travel Insurance:

Clients must purchase travel insurance when booking a Retreat. This insurance must cover:

- Cancellation of the Retreat by the client due to health issues or travel unavailability.

- Cancellation of the Retreat by Activ Retreats under force majeure.

- Sickness or accidents occurring during a Retreat.

The insurance should cover Retreat costs, transportation expenses, and medical bills. Activ Retreats may request proof of insurance.

Optional insurance coverage for risks like flight delays, employment-related cancellations, luggage loss, and vehicle damage is recommended. Many insurers require such coverage to be purchased within 14 days of booking.

Data Protection:

Activ Retreats will process personal data only as necessary for the execution of this Agreement. Personal data may be shared with Retreat centers or hotels for Retreat purposes. These obligations apply to staff, subcontractors, and other third parties involved.

Applicable Law:

Agreements between Activ Retreats and clients are governed by Swiss substantive law. The courts at Activ Retreats' domicile have jurisdiction over disputes arising from this Agreement.

Updating Terms:

Activ Retreats reserves the right to update or modify these terms and conditions at any time. It is the client's responsibility to be familiar with them before booking. The latest terms and conditions will supersede any previous versions and can be found above.

Deposit:

An initial payment of $855 is required to book yourself a spot.
