GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. By submitting the reservation you (the participant, the customer) declare that you agree to these general terms and conditions.
2. After an intake, the Center for Consciousness Travel will send the confirmation and invoice, which makes the reservation binding.
3. You are free to cancel the reservation. In certain cases, however, there is no right to a refund and/or a payment obligation remains. See the cancellation conditions below under point 5.
4. If you wish to cancel your reservation, you must inform CENTRUM VOOR BEWUSTZIJNSREIZEN in good time by emailing info@bewustzijnsreizen.nl
5. Cancellation policy: If, due to unforeseen circumstances, it is not possible to attend the booked ceremony, weekend or retreat, you can schedule another suitable date with CENTRUM VOOR BEWUSTZIJNSREIZEN.
5.1 Cancellation conditions for CENTER FOR CONSCIOUSNESS TRAVEL
After purchasing a ticket for day and evening events, the risk of cancellation lies with the participant. Refunds are not standard, but we apply the following cancellation conditions:
Up to four weeks before the event → 100% refund
Up to two weeks before the event → 50% refund
Within two weeks of the event → No refunds
In exceptional cases we may consider issuing a credit for a comparable event.
For multi-day events: In case of cancellation of a booking up to six weeks before the ceremony, we are unfortunately forced to charge 25% of the total amount. In case of cancellation of a booking up to three weeks before the ceremony, we are unfortunately forced to charge 50% of the total amount. In case of cancellation of a booking within three weeks before the ceremony, we can no longer provide a refund. This is because we invest a lot of time, energy and costs in the preparation of your ceremony, and sometimes in case of last minute cancellations a ceremony location is not used that could have been used by someone else.
6. IMPORTANT: Before booking your ceremony or retreat you must read and agree to CENTER FOR CONSCIOUSNESS JOURNEYS's medical and safety guidelines. There you will find a detailed list of contraindications and substances, medications, drugs, medical conditions that you should avoid with Ayahuasca. We also recommend that you read CENTER FOR CONSCIOUSNESS JOURNEYS' dietary and preparation instructions, as stated in your booking confirmation.
7. CENTRUM VOOR BEWUSTZIJNSREIZEN has the right to postpone or cancel the ceremonies for important reasons beyond its control (e.g. force majeure or due to changes in the law). You will be informed of this via the contact details provided during your registration/reservation. In the event of cancellation, you will receive a voucher for the amount of the participation fee already paid. You can redeem the voucher for all future ceremonies offered by CENTRUM VOOR BEWUSTZIJNSREIZEN. You are not entitled to a refund of the participation fee already paid. Further liability claims and claims for damages by the participant are excluded, unless they are due to intent or gross negligence on the part of CENTRUM VOOR BEWUSTZIJNSREIZEN. This also applies to hotel rooms and airline or train tickets booked by you.
LIABILITY.
1. CENTER FOR CONSCIOUSNESS JOURNEYS will ensure a good and orderly course of the ceremonies and retreats. Participation in a ceremony or retreat is entirely at your own risk.
2. CENTER FOR CONSCIOUS TRAVEL is not liable for injury and/or damage of any kind as a result of the participant's stay and/or activities, nor for loss or damage to property.
3. Complaints must be submitted in writing to CENTRUM VOOR BEWUSTZIJNSREIZEN. The complainant will receive a response within 21 days.
MEDICAL DISCLAIMERS.
1. The Ayahuasca ceremonies and retreats as we offer them are meant as an aid in emotional and spiritual development and not as a replacement for medically necessary treatments or therapy. Always discuss physical and/or psychological complaints with a qualified physician.
2. Always report to the ceremony leader before the ceremony if you have a physical problem or need extra help.
CHANGES TO THE CEREMONY OR RETREAT SCHEDULE.
CENTRUM VOOR BEWUSTZIJNSREIZEN has the right to make changes to the schedule of a ceremony or retreat, for example when a ceremony leader can no longer provide the ceremony due to illness, relocation, pregnancy or other circumstances. In that case, CENTRUM VOOR BEWUSTZIJNSREIZEN will provide a professional and qualitatively comparable replacement. You will be informed of this by e-mail before the start of the ceremony or retreat.
HOUSE RULES.
1. Our locations are smoke-free, with the exception of the designated smoking area. Drug use and alcohol use are not permitted during the entire stay.
2. Respect for every person, regardless of religion, beliefs and gender are our core values. CENTER FOR CONSCIOUSNESS TRAVEL is respectful to all participants and expects participants to be respectful to each other and the CENTER FOR CONSCIOUSNESS TRAVEL employees.
3. CENTRE FOR CONSCIOUS TRAVEL has carefully selected its locations to provide participants with a safe and comfortable environment during their stay. Therefore, treat the location and the surroundings with care and respect. Together we take care of the property. Any damage will be recovered from the perpetrator.
4. Participants who do not adhere to the terms and conditions or house rules, or who do not follow the instructions of the CENTER FOR CONSCIOUS TRAVEL staff, may be excluded from the ceremony or retreat. This does not entitle the participant to a refund of payment.
5. Making video/film or sound recordings during the stay, ceremony or retreat is only permitted after prior permission from the CENTRUM VOOR BEWUSTZIJNSREIZEN and, if relevant, the other participants.
