General Terms and Conditions (GTC)
1. These contractual terms apply to all services I offer. The offer includes individual and group sessions as well as semi-private group sessions in the practice of the "Lifeforce Energy Awakening Process" (LEAP).
2. The contract is concluded when I confirm the execution of an individual or group session or a series thereof in text form, specifying the dates.
3. The service offered is in the field of energy work. A specific success is not owed and cannot be guaranteed, as it may depend on factors and circumstances beyond my control. No diagnoses are made, nor are illnesses treated. Clients who are under medical treatment, taking medication, or undergoing psychotherapy are requested to continue their treatments.
4. The Lifeforce Energy Awakening Process involves light physical touches by me on the counterpart. It can also trigger various physical and/or mental reactions, which are difficult to predict and are generally perceived as pleasant or positive. However, as sensations may also occur that are perceived as rather unpleasant (such as contact with repressed, unconscious material or trauma), participants give their consent to this upon conclusion of the contract. Please refer to my separate information sheet, in which I describe possible experiences and aftereffects in more detail.
5. As a rule, children and adolescents cannot participate in my offer. Exceptions may be made in individual cases if there is sufficient intellectual maturity and inner stability, along with written consent from a legal guardian.
6. My prices for individual and group sessions are based on my current price list, which is an integral part of our agreement along with these contractual terms. Group sessions can be offered for groups of at least 7 and up to 20 participants. Deviations from this are possible in exceptional cases. Semi-private group sessions take place with a group size of between 3 and 8 participants.
7. Upon conclusion of the contract, you make a payment of 100% of the respective session price. This also applies to payments made on-site. This payment serves both to secure the agreed session appointment and to compensate for the effort involved in preparing for the appointment. The ticket price is non-refundable in case of non-appearance or prevention of a participant. If I have to cancel a session, a replacement appointment will be arranged at the earliest possible date.
8. If on-site payment is specified as the payment method, the fee is to be paid immediately before each session.
9. Participation in a session is subject to the condition that you are not in a state that would prevent its execution. These include, in particular:
- Alcohol or drug intoxication, the use of psychoactive medication, epilepsy, psychiatric disorders such as psychosis, mania, or delusions, and, at my discretion, potentially other medical conditions. Depressive disorders are excluded from this restriction.
- An unacceptable hygienic condition of the concerned person for me or other participants, a mental or intellectual state that prevents effective consent to the LEAP process.
- Pregnancy beyond the 28th week.
I reserve the right to exclude a participant from the session if their behavior makes the responsible execution of the session appear unsafe or if they harass me or other participants.
10. As already described in Section 3, undesired physical, mental, or emotional effects may occur during or as a result of a session. These are inherent to the LEAP method, cannot be predicted in advance, and cannot be avoided by me. No liability is assumed for the occurrence or consequences of such events. Consent to participate in a session also includes agreement to such consequences.
11. I assume no liability for items brought to a session or for clothing or jewelry worn on the body—except in cases of intentional damage.
12. You grant me a free, unlimited right of use, reproduction, and publication of photographs taken during a session in terms of content, location, and time. These will never be taken without your prior consent and may also be published beyond a purpose permissible under Article 6(1)(f) of the EU GDPR for external presentation on my website, my social media accounts (Website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.), or advertising banners. This right does not include commercial distribution. A separate consent from you would be required for this. This granting of rights can be revoked at any time (Article 7(3) EU GDPR). After that, I may no longer continue processing the respective collected and/or used images.
13. In addition, the provisions of the German Civil Code in its current version apply, insofar as they do not contradict these terms and conditions.
14. The place of performance and jurisdiction is Cologne. The contracts are subject to German law.
15. Should individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions be invalid, the validity of the contract shall remain unaffected. The invalid clause shall be replaced by a provision that comes as close as legally permissible to the economic intent of the parties with the invalid agreement.
