By using one or more services, the participant irrevocably agrees to abide by these Terms.

2. GENERAL

For telephone registrations, they will be confirmed by email, and upon receipt of the confirmation email by the participant, these registrations become legally binding and can be invoiced. Failure to pay for the course does not constitute a cancellation.

6. TERMS AND CANCELLATION POLICY (REFUNDS)

6.1 Yoga Classes Yoga subscriptions expire after their validity date, are personal, and not transferable. Yoga subscriptions are valid from the date of purchase. Paid course fees will not be refunded. Monthly subscriptions can be paused for holidays or absences due to professional reasons lasting longer than two weeks, for the duration stated in advance in writing. Retroactive pauses are not possible. In the case of illness, accident, or pregnancy, the duration of all subscriptions can be paused upon presentation of a medical certificate if no services have been availed during the certified period.

Changes to the schedule or teaching personnel can be made at any time. There is no entitlement to a refund.

Classes can also be attended without prior registration. In this case, we recommend being at the studio at least 10 minutes before the start of the class. We cannot guarantee available spots.

6.2 Workshops and Events In case of inability to attend workshops or other events, the participant has the option to find a substitute person. This should be communicated in writing via email, providing the name, first name, and email address of the substitute person.

Unattended sessions cannot be made up for and will not be refunded, unless agreed otherwise in writing. In case of absence (illness, professional commitments, other reasons) or early termination of the workshop/event, there is no entitlement to a reduction or refund.

Participants will be informed of cancellations via email or phone as quickly as possible, except in the case of unforeseeable cancellations. In the event of course cancellation, the subscriptions can be extended accordingly.

6.5 To conduct our courses under optimal conditions, we set a minimum and maximum number of participants depending on the event/course. If the minimum number of participants is not reached, the course will generally not be conducted, and the course fees will be refunded.

7.ELIGIBILITY, SELF-RESPONSIBILITY

7.1 Before participating in Dominika Schütze's yoga classes, an online registration or registration form must be completed. By accepting these Terms, the participant confirms that there are no health concerns for participating in yoga classes. All courses, yoga classes, private lessons, events, massages, and workshops require self-responsibility and normal mental and physical resilience and condition. In case of acute physical or mental problems, it should be clarified with a doctor beforehand whether yoga classes and/or massages are advisable at that time. Yoga classes can have a healing effect on physical, mental, and psychological well-being, but they do not constitute medical or psychotherapeutic treatments.

7.2 Existing psychological or physical health restrictions, as well as an existing pregnancy, must be reported to the course instructor at the latest at the beginning of the course/massage/event. If a health restriction or pregnancy occurs during the course/massage/event, the course instructor must be informed immediately.

Each participant participates in these courses at their own risk, so it is also at the discretion of each participant to seek medical advice before participating in the courses.

8. LIABILITY

8.1 Dominika Schütze assumes liability for the proper conduct of the courses/events/massages/workshops within the framework of statutory warranty provisions. Any further liability, especially under the title of damages, is expressly excluded. The organizers, therefore, assume no liability of any kind, particularly no liability in the event of concealing any physical or mental ailments that may make participation in yoga events/workshops inadvisable.

Dominika Schütze reserves the right to reject participants if she believes that the health or psychological conditions for participating in the course are not given. This rejection can also be made at short notice or even during ongoing courses. In case of participant rejection, the costs (proportionally) will be refunded to the participant.

8.2 The use of the premises and services is at the participants' own risk. No liability is assumed for valuables brought by the participants.

8.3 For all yoga courses and workshops organized by Dominika Schütze, we exclude any liability for damages incurred. Therefore, you are responsible for adequate insurance coverage. Dominika Schütze cannot be held liable for theft and loss of objects.

9. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE, JURISDICTION, AND APPLICABLE LAW

9.1 The place of performance for all obligations is agreed to be the registered office of the service provider, which is 1245 Collonge-Bellerive.

9.2 Swiss law applies; for any disputes, a conciliation body in Geneva will be consulted in the first instance. Further disagreements that cannot be resolved with the conciliation body will subsequently be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the respective court in Geneva within the scope of its respective subject matter jurisdiction.

9.3 Should individual provisions of these general terms and conditions, as well as any individually concluded contracts, be null and void, ineffective, or contestable, the remaining (part) provisions shall remain unaffected and shall then be interpreted or supplemented in such a way that the intended economic purpose is achieved as precisely as possible in legal terms.

9.4 Oral side agreements will not be made. Changes and additions to these Terms and all membership agreements require written form.

10. DATA PROTECTION

The course instructor undertakes to treat personal data and information confidentially and not to disclose them to third parties.
