TERMS & CONDITIONS

Last Updated: August 29, 2026

Welcome to Hortari Yoga (“we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms and Conditions govern your participation in our yoga classes, workshops, outdoor events, and the use of our booking services in Amsterdam and Utrecht. By booking a class or participating in any Hortari Yoga offering, you agree to comply with and be bound by these terms.

1. Eligibility & Health Waiver

1. Physical Condition & Medical Clearance

By participating in any sessions, classes, or services, you acknowledge that you are in good health and proper physical condition to engage in such activities.

It is your sole responsibility to consult with a physician prior to participating if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, injuries, or health concerns (including pregnancy).

Age Requirement: Our classes are designed primarily for adults. Minors under 18 years of age are welcome to attend if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

2. Duty to Inform

You agree to inform the instructor/practitioner prior to the start of any session of any physical limitations, pain, injuries, or relevant health updates.

3. Assumption of Risk

You understand and acknowledge that physical exercise and movement instruction carry an inherent risk of injury.

You voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, which you might incur as a result of participating in the sessions.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the instructor/practitioner shall not be held liable for any personal injury, loss, or damage to person or property, except in cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

The instructor/practitioner is not responsible for injuries resulting from your failure to follow instructions, failure to disclose relevant medical history, or improper execution of movements outside guided instruction.

5. Personal Belongings

The instructor/practitioner accepts no responsibility for any loss, theft, or damage to personal belongings brought to the premises or session location.

2. Bookings, Passes & Pricing

1. Single Passes

Classes are booked on a single-pass (pay-as-you-go) basis. We do not offer fixed class packages or recurring subscription memberships.

Booking Platforms:

   --> For Amsterdam classes, bookings are processed via bookaLeap.

   --> For Utrecht classes, bookings are processed via Base Community.

2. Partner Booking Policies:

Because bookings are handled through these external platforms, booking rules, registration terms, and processing fees are governed directly by bookaLEAP's Terms of Service and Base Community's Terms of Service.

3. Discounts & Partner Offers:

Limited-time promotional discounts may be offered to regular community members at our discretion.

We partner with local businesses to provide special discounts. These offers are valid strictly until the expiration date indicated on the voucher or promotional material.

3. Cancellations & Refunds

1. Standard Cancellation Policy:

Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled class time to receive a full refund or class credit.

2. Late Cancellations & Discretionary Refunds:

If you need to cancel within the 24-hour window due to unforeseen circumstances or emergencies, please contact us directly. Exceptional refunds or credits are handled on a case-by-case basis.

3. Refund Methods:

Valid refunds will be processed via Tikkie or issued as a credit voucher for a future class.

4. Class Changes & Cancellations by Hortari Yoga

- Substitute Instructors: If Emma Plantin is unable to teach, we reserve the right to arrange a qualified substitute instructor. The original booking terms and cancellation policies remain unchanged.

- Class Cancellation by Us: If a class must be cancelled (e.g., due to illness, unexpected venue issues, or low attendance—typically fewer than 2 participants), you will be notified as early as possible and receive a 100% full refund.

5. Venues & Equipment

1. Partner Venues:

Indoor classes take place at partnered venues, including School Nippon Do / bookaLeap (Amsterdam) venues and Base Community (Utrecht) yoga room. Yoga mats and props are fully provided at these partner locations unless stated otherwise.

2. Outdoor & Spontaneous Events:

For scheduled outdoor events managed via bookaLEAP, mats are provided.

For spontaneous pop-up or outdoor events, participants are encouraged to bring their own mat. A rental mat may be available on-site for a €3 fee, which will always be specified in the event description.

6. Photography & Media Consent

Default Consent: By default, you consent to Hortari Yoga taking photographs and short video clips during sessions to use for marketing, social media, and website materials.

Opting Out: If you do not wish to appear in photos or videos, simply let the instructor know in person before the class begins, and we will respect your preference.

7. Intellectual Property

All content, branding, logos, seasonal theme frameworks, text, and media on our website and social channels belong exclusively to Hortari Yoga. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use our intellectual property without prior written permission.

8. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms or our services shall be resolved through friendly discussion in good faith. If an agreement cannot be reached, disputes shall be submitted to the competent court in the Netherlands.
