CONCERNING EVENTS

RETREATS/ CAMPS/ COURSES/ TRAINING

General information

The general terms and conditions described above under "General" also apply to events (retreats/camps/courses/annual training courses). In addition, the following provisions apply:

Principles to be respected

You are responsible for ensuring that you have adequate insurance cover (illness, accident, liability, cancellation). We recommend that you take out cancellation insurance, especially before booking events.

Participation in our events is voluntary and is at your own risk. You are fully responsible for your actions. It is up to you to decide which events you attend and how you deal with your experiences.

Ocean of Life GmbH accepts no liability for damages that you as a participant or third parties may incur in connection with the AsvaNara events - to the extent permitted by law (e.g. for slight negligence, negligence). For example, you cannot hold Ocean of Life GmbH liable for theft or loss of items, loss of earnings, loss of profit or travel expenses.

Registration/ Number of participants

For some retreats/camps/courses, prior participation in a previous course is a prerequisite for you to be admitted to the event. You can find more information on this in the respective event announcements.

The number of participants per event is limited in order to guarantee optimal support for the participants. Registrations must be made via the booking system on this website and will be considered in the order in which they are received.

Registration for an event is binding. After submitting their registration, participants will receive a confirmation of participation by e-mail from Ocean of Life - provided that there are still places available in the respective retreat/camp/course or annual training and they meet the requirements for participation - with which the contract is considered concluded and the booking becomes final. This means that the costs for the booked events are due in accordance with the agreed terms of payment (in full, or the first installment in the case of payment by installments).

Costs/ Course fees/ Terms of payment

Upon registration or conclusion of the contract, the participant undertakes to pay the costs for the event (retreat/camp/course costs, annual training costs; hereinafter referred to as "course costs" or "course fees" for the sake of simplicity) in accordance with the agreed terms of payment.

The course costs (amount and currency) are shown during the booking process. As a rule, there is a choice between immediate payment of the entire course fee ("full payment") or payment in installments. In the case of full payment, the entire course fee is due and payable immediately after registration or receipt of the confirmation of participation. If payment in installments has been selected, the corresponding installments are due on the agreed date. Only full payment of the course fee before the start of the respective event (retreat/camp/course) entitles the participant to take part in the booked event or, in the case of installment payments for the annual training, the punctual payment of the respective installments.

Payments must be made on time and in the specified currency in accordance with the payment options offered. If currency conversion costs, other transfer costs or fees are incurred, these shall be borne by the participant. In the case of annual training, late payment of the course fee may result in exclusion from the annual training.

Discounts (such as early booking discount, bring-your-own-discount, special discount, etc.) that you may be able to take advantage of are not cumulative; in this case, please let us know in advance which discount you would like to take advantage of.

Not included in the course fee are the costs for accommodation and meals at the respective seminar locations where the retreats/camps/courses or events of the annual training are held. A separate contract must be concluded directly with the respective seminar center.

Partial or incomplete participation in the retreat/camp/course or the annual training does not entitle the participant to a reduction in the course fee.

Organization of events

Ocean of Life GmbH reserves the right to postpone, rebook or cancel events, e.g. due to understaffing, illness of the seminar leader, other urgent reasons or force majeure.

If events are canceled by Ocean of Life, any course fees already paid will be refunded. If several events have been booked (as a package) and only some of them are canceled, the course fees will be refunded pro rata. There are no further claims against AsvaNara and/or Donna Divina or Ocean of Life GmbH.

In the event of postponement or cancellation of an event, any claims for damages or other claims by participants (with the exception of the aforementioned proportional reimbursement of course fees already paid in the event of cancellation), i.e. for example for loss of earnings, loss of profit or travel expenses, are excluded.

Withdrawal/ Cancellation/ Rebooking/ Cancellation/ Exclusion

With your booking you conclude a binding contract with us. Please understand that it is not possible to withdraw from the contract or cancel your registration without incurring costs (see below). The number of participants for most events is limited in order to guarantee optimal support.

We would of course like to welcome you to the events you have booked. However, if you have to cancel your participation for any important reason, please inform us immediately.

If you cancel up to 30 days before the start of the event, we will transfer the entire course fee to another Ocean of Life GmbH event.

If you cancel less than 30 days before the start of the booked event, only half of the course fee will be credited to another event.

In the event of non-attendance without prior notice, the full course fee will be charged.

Ocean of Life GmbH reserves the right to exclude a participant from events if, for example, it becomes apparent that the cooperation is not fruitful. In the case of annual training, late payment of the course fee may also result in exclusion from the annual training. In the event of exclusion, the course fees already paid will be refunded proportionally (i.e. total value of the booked and paid services/course parts minus services/course parts already provided). Further claims against Ocean of Life GmbH are excluded.

Rebooking is free of charge at any time.

Therapy

You are aware that the activities in AsvaNara or Donna Divina cannot replace medical therapy or other treatments of any kind and cannot replace prescribed medicine or treatment from a doctor, professional therapist or competent authority. In case of illness or severe symptoms, please contact a medical specialist who is legally authorized to give professional diagnosis and treatment by authorized professionals.

Photos & Videos

As a participant in an AsvaNara and/or Donna Divina event, you agree that the visual or photographic images that may be taken during the course may be used by Ocean of Life GmbH for promotional purposes, advertising and production of books and videos for sale, and thus you expressly authorize the publication of these images for these purposes and this completely free of charge.
