3. Definitions
For the purposes of these Terms:
“Participant” means any individual who books, attends, or participates in a Programme.
“Programme” includes any retreat, Somatic Facilitator Training, workshop, online course, event, or other service provided by Parimukti.
“Booking” means a confirmed reservation accepted by Parimukti following receipt of the required payment.
“Deposit” means the non-refundable amount payable to reserve a place on a Programme.
“Certification” means any certificate issued by Parimukti following successful completion of programme requirements.
“Venue” means any location where a Programme is conducted.
4. Eligibility
Participants must:
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Provide complete and accurate information during registration.
- Be legally capable of entering into a binding contract.
- Comply with these Terms and all related policies.
Parimukti reserves the right to refuse or cancel a booking where these requirements are not met.
5. Booking Confirmation
A booking is confirmed only after:
- the required deposit or full programme fee has been received;
- Parimukti has accepted the booking; and
- the participant receives confirmation from Parimukti.
Availability displayed on the website does not constitute a guarantee of acceptance. Parimukti reserves the right to decline any booking prior to confirmation.
6. Prices and Payment
Programme prices are published on the Parimukti website or other official booking materials.
Unless expressly stated otherwise:
- Prices are quoted in the specified currency.
- Full payment may be made at the time of booking.
- Alternatively, participants may secure their place by paying the applicable non-refundable deposit.
- The remaining balance is due no later than one week before the Programme begins unless Parimukti has agreed in writing to accept payment on arrival.
Parimukti does not provide internal payment plans. Participants may choose to use instalment or financing services offered independently by their payment provider or financial institution.
Failure to pay the outstanding balance by the agreed due date may result in cancellation of the booking and forfeiture of any amounts already paid.
7. Deposits
The applicable booking deposit, as specified for the relevant Programme, is non-refundable.
The deposit reserves a place on the Programme and compensates Parimukti for administrative costs, planning commitments, and reserved capacity.
Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated elsewhere in these Terms, deposits will not be refunded if the participant cancels their booking.
8. Cancellation by the Participant
Parimukti understands that unforeseen circumstances may arise. This cancellation policy is designed to balance fairness to participants with the operational commitments required to organise international retreats and professional trainings.
8.1 Booking Deposit
The booking deposit is non-refundable in all circumstances except where a refund is required by applicable law.
8.2 Full Payment – Standard Price
Where a participant has paid the full standard programme price without receiving an early booking, promotional, or discounted rate, the participant may cancel before the commencement of the Programme.
In such cases, Parimukti will refund all amounts paid, less the applicable non-refundable booking deposit.
8.3 Discounted Bookings
Where a participant has received an early booking discount, promotional discount, scholarship pricing, or any other reduced rate, the discounted price is offered in consideration of the participant’s commitment to attend the Programme.
Accordingly, payments made for discounted bookings are generally non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
Nothing in this clause limits any mandatory consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
8.4 Commencement of Programme
Once a Programme has commenced, no refunds will be issued for:
- late arrival;
- voluntary withdrawal;
- missed sessions;
- early departure;
- illness occurring during the Programme;
- removal from the Programme for breach of these Terms or the Code of Conduct.
8.5 Transfer to Another Participant
A participant may transfer their booking to another individual by providing reasonable advance written notice to Parimukti.
The replacement participant must:
- satisfy all eligibility requirements;
- complete all required registration documentation;
- accept these Terms;
- complete the Medical Indemnity Form where applicable; and
- pay any outstanding balance before attending.
Parimukti reserves the right to refuse a transfer where these requirements are not met.
8.6 Transfer to a Future Programme
Subject to availability, Parimukti may permit a participant to transfer their booking to a future Programme.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing:
- a booking may be transferred no more than two times;
- any transfer remains subject to availability;
- the original booking deposit remains non-refundable and continues to apply to the transferred booking.
Further transfer requests may be approved or declined at Parimukti’s discretion.
9. Cancellation by Parimukti
Parimukti reserves the right to postpone, modify, relocate, or cancel any Programme where reasonably necessary.
Reasons may include, but are not limited to:
- insufficient participant numbers;
- illness or incapacity of key facilitators;
- venue issues;
- government restrictions;
- safety concerns;
- Force Majeure events; or
- circumstances that would materially affect the quality or safety of the Programme.
Where Parimukti cancels a Programme for reasons within its reasonable control, participants may choose one of the following:
- transfer their booking to another available Programme;
- receive a credit towards a future Programme; or
- receive a full refund of all monies paid to Parimukti.
Refunds are limited to amounts actually paid directly to Parimukti.

- or any indirect or consequential losses.
Participants are strongly encouraged to obtain comprehensive travel insurance.
10. Programme Changes
Parimukti continually seeks to provide the highest quality experience possible.
Accordingly, Parimukti reserves the right to make reasonable changes to:
- schedules;
- daily timetables;
- facilitators;
- accommodation;
- venues;
- activities;
- meals;
- teaching order; and
- Programme content,
provided such changes do not materially alter the essential nature of the Programme.
Where significant changes become necessary, Parimukti will endeavour to notify participants as soon as reasonably practicable.
11. Accommodation
Accommodation is included only where expressly stated in the participant’s booking confirmation.
Participants booking Programme-only packages are solely responsible for arranging their own accommodation.
Participants booking accommodation through Parimukti acknowledge that:
- room allocation is subject to availability;
- shared accommodation may involve room sharing with another participant;
- reasonable room changes may become necessary for operational reasons;
- participants are responsible for damage caused intentionally or negligently to accommodation or venue property.
Accommodation providers may maintain their own house rules, which participants agree to respect.
12. Airport Transfers and Transportation
Airport transfers are included only where expressly stated in the booked package.
At present, complimentary airport transfers are included only with designated Premium packages unless otherwise specified.
For other participants, Parimukti may assist in arranging transportation upon request.
Transportation arranged through independent providers is offered solely as a convenience.
Parimukti is not responsible for the acts, omissions, delays, cancellations, accidents, or service quality of independent transport providers.
13. Participant Responsibilities
Participants are responsible for:
- providing accurate and complete information during registration;
- complying with these Terms, the Code of Conduct, and all reasonable instructions given by Parimukti facilitators and staff;
- treating fellow participants, staff, venue personnel, and members of the local community with dignity and respect;
- ensuring they possess all required travel documents, passports, visas, vaccinations, and other entry requirements;
- arriving at the Programme fit to participate;
- taking responsibility for their own personal belongings at all times.
Participants remain responsible for their own decisions throughout the Programme and are encouraged to communicate openly with facilitators whenever they experience physical or emotional difficulty.
14. Health, Medical Disclosure and Participant Suitability
Parimukti’s programmes include practices that may be physically demanding or emotionally intensive, including but not limited to:
- yoga;
- breathwork;
- somatic practices;
- meditation;
- movement exercises;
- emotional processing;
- group processes; and
- periods of silence or self-reflection.
Participants acknowledge that such activities may not be appropriate for every individual.
Before attending, each participant must disclose any medical, psychological, or physical condition that may affect safe participation.
This includes, without limitation:
- cardiovascular disease;
- uncontrolled high or low blood pressure;
- respiratory conditions;
- epilepsy or seizure disorders;
- recent surgery;
- pregnancy;
- significant musculoskeletal injuries;
- psychiatric conditions;
- medications that may affect participation; or
- any other condition reasonably relevant to participant safety.
Participants agree that all information provided is complete, truthful, and accurate.
Failure to disclose relevant information may result in refusal of participation or removal from the Programme without refund.
Parimukti reserves the right to request additional medical information or written medical clearance where reasonably necessary.
Parimukti further reserves the right to decline, postpone, suspend, or terminate participation where, in its reasonable professional judgement, participation would present an unacceptable risk to the participant or to others.
15. Medical Indemnity Form
Completion of Parimukti’s Medical Indemnity Form is a mandatory condition of participation in any Programme requiring physical, somatic, or breathwork practices.
Participants warrant that all information supplied within the Medical Indemnity Form is complete and accurate.
Providing false, misleading, or incomplete medical information constitutes a material breach of these Terms.
16. Assumption of Risk
Participants acknowledge that all physical movement, yoga, breathwork, meditation, emotional processing, outdoor activities, travel, and group experiences involve inherent risks that cannot be entirely eliminated.
These risks may include, but are not limited to:
- physical injury;
- muscular strain;
- dizziness;
- hyperventilation;
- emotional distress;
- psychological discomfort;
- aggravation of pre-existing medical conditions;
- accidents associated with travel;
- illness; and
- unforeseen events beyond Parimukti’s control.
Participants voluntarily choose to participate with full knowledge of these inherent risks.
Each participant remains responsible for determining their own physical and emotional limits and may stop any activity at any time if they believe continuing would be unsafe.
Nothing within these Terms excludes liability where such exclusion is prohibited by applicable law.
17. Medical Treatment
Parimukti is not a medical, psychiatric, or psychological healthcare provider.
The Programmes are educational and experiential in nature.
Participation should not be regarded as a substitute for medical diagnosis, medical treatment, psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or advice from appropriately qualified healthcare professionals.
Participants remain solely responsible for seeking professional healthcare whenever appropriate.
In the event of illness or emergency, participants authorise Parimukti to obtain emergency medical assistance where it reasonably believes immediate treatment is required and the participant is unable to make decisions.
Any medical expenses, evacuation costs, hospital charges, medications, transportation, or related costs remain the sole responsibility of the participant.
18. Travel Insurance
Parimukti strongly recommends that every participant obtain comprehensive travel insurance before travelling.
Appropriate insurance should include cover for:
- Programme cancellation;
- overseas medical expenses;
- emergency evacuation;
- personal liability;
- travel disruption;
- baggage loss;
- theft; and
- personal belongings.
Failure to obtain insurance remains the participant’s own decision and responsibility.
19. Code of Conduct
Participation in a Parimukti Programme requires mutual respect, professionalism, and consideration for the wellbeing of others.
Participants agree to:
- behave respectfully at all times;
- respect personal, physical, emotional, and cultural boundaries;
- refrain from harassment, intimidation, discrimination, bullying, or abusive behaviour;
- comply with all reasonable safety instructions;
- respect venue rules and local laws;
- avoid attending Programme activities while impaired by alcohol or drugs to the extent that safe participation is affected.
Parimukti reserves the right to issue warnings, restrict participation in particular activities, or immediately remove a participant whose behaviour materially disrupts the Programme or endangers the safety, wellbeing, or experience of others.
Removal for serious misconduct constitutes a material breach of these Terms and does not entitle the participant to any refund.
20. Confidentiality
Participants are encouraged to discuss their own learning and personal experiences following the Programme.
However, participants agree to respect the privacy of fellow participants.
Without the express permission of the individual concerned, participants must not disclose another participant’s:
- personal stories;
- health information;
- emotional disclosures;
- contact information;
- photographs; or
- other identifying information.
This confidentiality obligation survives the conclusion of the Programme.
21. Photography, Video and Media
Parimukti may photograph, film, or otherwise record Programmes for educational, archival, and promotional purposes.
Unless a participant notifies Parimukti in writing before the Programme begins that they do not wish to appear in marketing materials, the participant grants Parimukti a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free licence to use photographs, video recordings, and audio recordings in which the participant appears for marketing, educational, editorial, and promotional purposes.
Parimukti will make reasonable efforts to respect written opt-out requests. However, participants acknowledge that it may not always be possible to exclude them from incidental background appearances in group photographs or recordings.
Participants are not entitled to compensation for the authorised use of such media.
22. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property associated with Parimukti Programmes is and remains the exclusive property of Parimukti Trainings and Retreats.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- training manuals;
- workbooks;
- presentations;
- videos;
- audio recordings;
- graphics;
- photographs;
- written materials;
- course structures;
- teaching methods;
- exercises;
- branding;
- logos;
- trademarks;
- website content; and
- all other proprietary materials.
Participation in a Programme grants the participant only a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the materials for their own learning.
Participants may not, without prior written permission from Parimukti:
- reproduce;
- copy;
- record;
- livestream;
- photograph training materials where prohibited;
- publish;
- distribute;
- translate;
- adapt;
- create derivative works from;
- sell;
- licence; or
- commercially exploit any Programme materials.
Unauthorised recording of teaching sessions is prohibited unless expressly approved in writing by Parimukti.
23. Certification
Participants who successfully complete the Programme and satisfy Parimukti’s educational and professional requirements may receive a Certificate of Completion or other certification issued by Parimukti.
Attendance alone does not automatically entitle a participant to certification.
Parimukti reserves the right to withhold, defer, or make conditional any certification where, in its reasonable professional judgement, a participant has failed to demonstrate:
- adequate understanding of the material;
- satisfactory practical competence;
- appropriate professional or ethical conduct;
- completion of required assessments; or
- compliance with Programme requirements.
The decision to withhold certification does not entitle the participant to a refund.
24. Use of Certification and the Parimukti Brand
Participants who receive certification may truthfully state that they have completed a Programme or have been certified by Parimukti.
However, certification does not create any employment, partnership, agency, franchise, or representative relationship with Parimukti.
Unless expressly authorised in writing, graduates may not:
- present themselves as official Parimukti trainers;
- represent themselves as acting on behalf of Parimukti;
- use the Parimukti name, logo, branding, manuals, or proprietary training systems to market their own services;
- advertise any programme as a “Parimukti” training, retreat, workshop, or certification.
Any commercial use of the Parimukti name, branding, or intellectual property requires a separate written licence, franchise agreement, or other formal authorisation.
25. Personal Property
Participants remain solely responsible for their own luggage, valuables, money, passports, electronic devices, jewellery, and other personal belongings.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Parimukti accepts no responsibility for loss, theft, or damage to personal property unless directly caused by Parimukti’s proven negligence.
26. Limitation of Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
Subject to the above, Parimukti shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or economic loss arising from participation in a Programme.
This includes, without limitation:
- loss of income;
- loss of profits;
- loss of business opportunity;
- travel disruption;
- accommodation expenses booked independently;
- currency exchange losses;
- bank charges; or
- any other consequential loss.
Where liability cannot legally be excluded, Parimukti’s total liability shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be limited to the amount actually paid by the participant to Parimukti for the relevant Programme.
27. Force Majeure
Parimukti shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations where such failure or delay results from events beyond its reasonable control.
These events include, but are not limited to:
- natural disasters;
- earthquakes;
- floods;
- fires;
- pandemics;
- epidemics;
- government restrictions;
- visa or border closures;
- acts of war;
- terrorism;
- civil unrest;
- strikes;

- utility failures;
- venue closures; or
- any other event making the Programme impossible, unsafe, or commercially impracticable.
Where reasonably possible, Parimukti will notify participants promptly and offer the remedies set out in the Cancellation & Transfer Policy.
28. Complaints and Dispute Resolution
Participants agree to raise any complaint promptly by emailing info@parimukti.com with full details of the issue.
Before commencing legal proceedings, both parties agree to make a genuine effort to resolve the dispute through good-faith discussions.
Parimukti will endeavour to investigate and respond within thirty (30) days of receiving a written complaint.
If the matter cannot be resolved, either party may pursue any legal remedy available under applicable law.
29. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India.
Subject to any mandatory consumer protection laws that cannot legally be excluded or limited, the courts of Goa, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or any Programme offered by Parimukti.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive participants of any mandatory consumer rights that may apply under the laws of their country of habitual residence where such rights cannot lawfully be excluded.
30. Electronic Acceptance
Participants acknowledge and agree that:
- ticking the acceptance box during the online booking process;
- submitting an online booking;
- paying a deposit or Programme fee; or
- attending a Programme,
constitutes electronic acceptance of these Terms and has the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature.
Participants are responsible for ensuring they have read these Terms before completing a booking.
31. Website Information
Parimukti makes every reasonable effort to ensure that information published on its website, social media channels, brochures, and promotional materials is accurate at the time of publication.
However, occasional errors or changes may occur.
Parimukti reserves the right to correct typographical errors, pricing errors, scheduling inaccuracies, and other inadvertent mistakes without liability.
Photographs shown on the website are intended to represent the general style and atmosphere of Programmes and venues. Accommodation, furnishings, instructors, meals, activities, and facilities may vary between Programmes.
No statement made in advertising or promotional material shall constitute a contractual guarantee unless expressly incorporated into these Terms or confirmed in writing.
32. Independent Contractors
Accommodation providers, transportation companies, activity operators, guides, caterers, and other third-party service providers engaged in connection with a Programme operate independently of Parimukti.
Except where required by law, Parimukti is not responsible for the acts, omissions, negligence, insolvency, or performance of independent third-party providers.

- Medical Indemnity Form;
- Privacy Policy;
- Cookie Policy;
- Code of Conduct;
- Copyright, Certification & Brand Usage Policy; and
- Website Disclaimer,
constitute the entire agreement between Parimukti and the participant.
They supersede all previous discussions, negotiations, representations, marketing statements, or understandings relating to the Programme.
34. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or other competent authority to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be interpreted to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
If modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed.
The remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
35. No Waiver
A failure or delay by Parimukti to exercise any right or remedy under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right.
Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative of Parimukti.
A waiver on one occasion shall not operate as a waiver on any future occasion.
36. Amendments
Parimukti reserves the right to update or amend these Terms from time to time.
Updated Terms will become effective upon publication on the Parimukti website unless a later effective date is specified.
The version in effect on the date a participant completes their booking shall govern that booking unless the participant expressly agrees to a later version.

This includes, without limitation:
- confidentiality;
- intellectual property;
