Terms & Conditions

I) Identification of Parties

These terms and conditions, which may be updated periodically, are between YwP LLC, doing business as Yoga with Perumal (hereafter referred to as "YwP"), and any of its affiliates and licensees. The person engaging with YwP for participation in or organization of an Event sponsored by YwP is hereafter referred to as the "PARTICIPANT." This includes individuals attending Events, Group Leaders, and yoga studio owners or organizers hiring YwP for services such as weekly group classes. YwP and the PARTICIPANT are sometimes individually referred to as a "PARTY" and collectively referred to as the "PARTIES".

II) Definitions

1. Event – Any yoga retreat, public weekly yoga group class, yoga workshop, private to semi-private yoga lesson, and seminar that a participant is reserved into or inquiring about.

1. Group Leader – A PARTICIPANT who organizes a Yoga with Perumal Event on behalf of more than themselves. This includes individuals coordinating yoga retreats, workshops, or private lessons for a group, as well as the head of a yoga studio or organization hiring Yoga with Perumal for weekly group classes or similar activities. Any Group Leader agreeing to these terms and prices on behalf of a group must have authorization from all members they represent and is required to forward these terms to the group or organization.

III) Payment Terms of Events

1. A deposit of 50% to 80% of the total payment is required to confirm the booking. The exact amount will be specified during the reservation process or in promotional materials. Unless otherwise stated, the deposit is non-refundable. Payment of the deposit confirms the booking and obligates the PARTICIPANT to pay the remaining balance as outlined in this agreement. If the PARTICIPANT pays more than 50% without specifying the deposit amount, 50% of the total payment will be considered the deposit.
2. Final Payment - 100% payment is required two (2) months before the event start date.
3. In some cases, it may be determined during the reservation process that the remaining balance is to be paid directly to the venue upon arrival. This arrangement applies unless a Force Majeure event prevents payment.
   
   

IV) Scheduling

1. All events agreed upon in advance of more than 7 days from the yoga schedule start date must be reconfirmed by the participant 24 hours in advance of the first session.
2. Class time begins upon the arrival of the yoga teacher into the practice area. Any talking discussion or questions during the scheduled event are counted as part of the lesson.
3. All yoga retreat lessons are an average of 90 minutes. Classes may run longer than 90 minutes at a time depending on the ability of the group or individual, considered under the strict discretion of the teacher.
4. Start other activities such as massages should begin within 15 minutes after the lesson end time.
5. Event schedules are not mandatory for retreat participants to attend and are counted as completed without Participant attendance.
6. Yoga retreat session start and end times are decided by the sole discretion of the teacher 24 hours before the retreat. This is based on the time of the year in relation to sunrise and sunset, current seasonal conditions, and teacher reservations. Set retreat schedules may only change during the retreat 24 hours before that scheduled change time again under the discretion of the teacher.
7. All yoga retreat classes are ideally held outdoors. For rain and outdoor temperatures below 18 degrees Celsius or 65 degrees Fahrenheit, a yoga retreat class will automatically be moved indoors.

For all YwP promoted Events:

1. A PARTICIPANT signing the booking form on behalf of other PARTICIPANTS is conditional upon having authorization from all parties attending.

5. YwP makes no guarantees for a minimum or maximum number of PARTICIPANTS for any event. It is not in the ability to guarantee the number of attendees at an event due to possibilities of last-minute cancellations and reservations. Events such as yoga retreats are not always exclusive to YwP alone, and therefore additional participants may attend class from a venue guest list that did not reserve into a yoga retreat.
6. A single PARTICIPANT at a Yoga with Perumal retreat may reserve an additional second lesson a day during the retreat period at a 33% discount from the existing private lesson price. The terms of private lesson reservations apply upon reservation.
