Definitions

In these terms and conditions, the following terms apply:
 

Participant: an individual or an employee of a client who participates in a training

Registration and Payment for MBSR

The participant can express their interest by email or through the form on the website (https://www.plekomtezijnutrecht.nl/8-weekse-mindfulness-training). Then, the trainer will contact the participant to schedule an introductory meeting. This meeting is intended to discuss mutual expectations and can take place by phone, Zoom, or face-to-face. If both the participant and the trainer agree to proceed with the training, the participant will receive a confirmation and invoice.
 

The invoice must be paid within 14 days. After payment, the registration is confirmed. If the invoice is not paid within 14 days, the participant will lose their reserved spot in the training, and it may be given to another interested participant.
 

Cancellation of MBSR by Participant

Cancellation of registration is possible under the following conditions:

• Within 14 days after registration, the participant is entitled to cancel their participation free of charge.

• Up to 1 month before the start of the training, the participant can cancel free of charge.

• For cancellations less than 1 month before the start, the participant is obliged to pay 50% of the training costs.

• For cancellations less than 2 weeks before the start of the training, the participant is obligated to pay the full costs.
   

Cancellation or Rescheduling of MBSR by Trainer

Plek om te Zijn has the right to reschedule one or more course days with an explanation in the event of unforeseen circumstances and cancel the entire training due to too few registrations.

In the event of a planned training not taking place due to too few registrations, the participants will be informed no later than 2 weeks before the start of the training. In such cases, a refund of the payment will be made, unless the participant indicates a desire to participate in a training at another time.
