2. Registration / Conclusion of contract
Registration can be made in writing, by e-mail or by telephone. By booking, the participant accepts the terms and conditions as part of the contract between him/her and Parvati. The registration will be confirmed by e-mail and becomes binding.
3. Conditions of participation
Good health and appropriate equipment are required for all offers. The physical condition required for the booked tour increases the enjoyment and experience for all participants. If a participant does not meet the physical requirements despite a corresponding note on the offer, he/she can be excluded from the tour without any right to a refund.
4. Payment
An invoice will be sent with the confirmation of registration. For day and weekend tours, the amount is to be paid at the latest 10 days before the tour. In the case of short-term registrations, the amount is to be transferred immediately.
For offers lasting three days or more, a deposit of 20% must be paid within 14 days of receipt of the confirmation of registration. The balance is due 30 days before the start of the offer. In the case of registrations at short notice, the total price must be paid immediately.
If the payment is not received on time, Parvati can cancel the contract and claim the cancellation costs according to the section “Cancellation by the participant”.

5.1 Cancellation before the start of the activity
Should weather and natural conditions, official measures, force majeure, security or other reasons make the offer considerably more difficult, dangerous or impossible, Parvati can cancel the offer or change the area. Participants will be informed immediately of any cancellations.
5.2 Changes and cancellation en route
Should weather and natural conditions, official measures, force majeure, security or other reasons make the activity considerably more difficult, dangerous or impossible, Parvati can, with mutual agreement with the participants, change or even cancel the offer. Any resulting additional costs for travel and/or accommodation will be borne by the participants. In the event of a cancellation, there is no entitlement to a refund.
6. Withdrawal by the participant
Should a participant not be able to take part in the planned offer for any reason, Parvati must be informed as soon as possible, if possible in writing by e-mail.

In addition, the following costs will be charged:
- Cancellation 30 -14 days before the start: 50 % of the offer price.
