Appendix № 1

CONTRACT
for the provision of offline events and retreats

1. Scope of Services and Engagement of Third Parties

1.1. The services provided, their timing, and other characteristics are detailed on the Company’s website.

1.2. The Company may engage third parties to provide services without notifying the Client unless otherwise specified in the contract.

1.3. The Company shall not be held liable for the actions or omissions of third parties, including but not limited to service providers, venue operators, or transportation companies. Additionally, the Company is not responsible for any unforeseen circumstances beyond its control that may affect the quality or execution of the services provided during the event.

1.4. The Company does not engage in medical activities or provide medical interventions. All actions are aimed at informing and promoting a healthy lifestyle and are not intended for disease prevention, diagnosis, or treatment. The Company is not liable for the health of the Client or third parties and does not engage in activities requiring licensing.

2. Event Participation and Cancellation

2.1. The Client is responsible for arranging their own travel to the event and covering accommodation costs.

2.2. If the Client cancels participation less than two (2) months before the event, a refund will be issued, deducting a minimum of $ 500 to cover non-refundable organizational, venue expenses, and any other costs incurred by the Company related to the event.

2.3. If cancellation by the Client occurs less than two (2) weeks prior to the event, no refund will be issued. This is because, by this time, the Company will have incurred most of the event-related costs, including but not limited to venue fees, materials, staffing, and other organizational expenses. Additionally, such short notice prevents the Company from filling the vacant spot, which leads to financial loss. Therefore, no refund is provided to cover these non-recoverable costs.
