Liability Waiver and Assumption of Risk Agreement
By purchasing a ticket and participating in the retreat organized by Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences, hosted by Priya Jain and Peter DeBellis, you agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Limitation of Liability
The liability of Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences as sponsor, and Priya Jain and Peter DeBellis as retreat hosts, is strictly limited. We serve as agents on behalf of independent suppliers for securing transportation, accommodations, restaurant reservations, and other services. Since these suppliers are not under our control, Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences and its affiliates will not be held responsible for any wrongful, negligent, or arbitrary acts or omissions by these contractors or their employees, agents, servants, or representatives.
2. Uncontrollable Events and Responsibility
We are not liable for any injury, damage, loss, accident, or delay caused by events beyond our control. This includes, but is not limited to, acts of terrorism, war, strikes, defects in any vehicle, or the negligence of any third party.
3. Itinerary Changes
While every effort will be made to operate the retreat as planned, we reserve the right to make itinerary changes when necessary. If unforeseen circumstances arise that require a change in accommodations, we will provide alternative accommodations of the same or higher quality, when available.
4. Participant Information
Upon reservation, participants are required to provide their full legal name as it appears on their passport, as well as their date of birth and gender. In the event of incorrect information resulting in errors in bookings or ticket reissues, the participant will be responsible for any associated fees.
5. Rooming and Occupancy
For those selecting Double Occupancy, we will do our best to pair you with a suitable roommate unless a preferred roommate is specified. If room-sharing arrangements become challenging or a roommate cannot be found, the reservation may need to be converted to Single Occupancy, and the single occupancy supplement rate will apply. All changes are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
6. Prohibited Substances
As this is a Spiritual Retreat, participants are prohibited from carrying or using illegal substances, including recreational marijuana, during the retreat. Participants are responsible for understanding local laws. Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences, Priya Jain, and Peter DeBellis will not be responsible for any unlawful activities conducted by participants. Anyone found in possession of illegal substances will be removed from the retreat without refund.
7. Compliance with Immigration and Customs Laws
I hereby agree to comply with all immigration and customs laws applicable during the retreat. Participants are solely responsible for securing their Visa and purchasing their round-trip flight tickets to the destination, over and above the retreat package price paid.
8. Assumption of Risk
By participating in this retreat, I voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, that I may incur during the retreat. Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences, Priya Jain, and Peter DeBellis will not be liable for any such risks or damages.
9. Media Release
I consent to be photographed, videotaped, or interviewed during the retreat, and I authorize the release, publication, and use of such materials for public relations, education, advertising, research, or any other purposes. I release Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences and its affiliates, along with their employees and associates, from any liability related to the use of these media materials. I also waive any rights to royalties or compensation related to these recordings or photographs.
