At any given moment there may be "trouble spots" in the world in terms of war, terrorism, conflict, unrest, crime, Acts of God, civil commotions, labor trouble, and/or other potential sources of harm. The United States Department of State and other governmental and tourist organizations provide information on foreign countries, including details of local conditions in specific cities and countries according to such agency's perception of risks to travelers. We strongly recommend you obtain and consider such information when making travel decisions. Kiterhood assumes no responsibility for gathering such information or providing it to you.

2.8 Itinerary Changes. Kiterhood and the travel program team members reserve the right, without penalty, to make changes in the published itinerary whenever, in their judgment, conditions warrant or if they deem it necessary for the comfort, convenience, or safety of participants. Every reasonable effort will be made to operate Chapters as planned, but alterations may still occur after final itineraries are published.

3.1 General. Kiterhood reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept, decline to accept, or remove any participant or guest on a Kiterhood Chapter or any part thereof at any time. Kiterhood reserves the right to expel any participant from a trip or remove a participant from a vessel, vehicle, event, activity, workspace, or accommodations for any reason, including, but not limited to, lack of payment or if we deem it necessary for the comfort, convenience or safety of the other participants, including if your behavior is deemed to cause or be likely to cause danger to yourself or danger, distress or annoyance to other participants, if we reasonably determine your condition would adversely affect your health, safety or enjoyment, or that of other participants, or if we determine you have engaged in illegal actions. Kiterhood reserves the right to alert the police and/or local authorities if your behavior is deemed to cause or be likely to cause danger to yourself or other participants, if we reasonably determine your condition would adversely affect your health or safety or that of other participants.  If we remove you from a trip in progress or remove you from a vessel, vehicle, event, activity, workspace, or accommodations, you will not be entitled to any refund, payment, compensation or credit of any kind for unused or missed services or costs incurred resulting from the termination of your participation and you will be responsible for that month’s fee in its entirety and your travel costs as you leave the Chapter.

‍3.2 Employment. Certain Kiterhood Chapters are “remote work and travel” programs, and as such they have requirements related to your work situation. If your Kiterhood Chapter is a remote work and travel program, each participant shall be required to have work throughout the entirety of the Chapter and is solely and individually responsible for securing and maintaining a job that can be performed remotely throughout the duration of the Chapter. Freelancers, contractors, entrepreneurs, and people engaged in ongoing education may be eligible to join remote work and travel programs.

The determination of whether your work fulfills the requirements of this section is within Kiterhood’s discretion.

Participants are responsible for obtaining any documents required for their participation in the trip, such as a valid passport, all visas, vaccination certificates, and any other documents. Failure to obtain documents does not negate the Terms and Conditions, and any extra costs incurred for rerouting due to travel without the necessary documents will be the participant’s responsibility. Kiterhood is not a legal advisor or a professional advisor and it does not provide guidance on visa processes.

‍3.5 Taxes and Other Charges. Participants are responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments, in their home country and associated with their participation in the Chapter or use of the Services, provided that Kiterhood may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. Kiterhood is not a tax advisor or a professional advisor and it does not provide tax guidance.

‍3.6 Illegal Activity. All participants are expected to abide by the laws in each country visited. If at any point during the Chapter you perform or engage in any illegal activity, Kiterhood is not responsible for legal ramifications of that action, and you may be removed from the Chapter at your own cost, and without refund to you. Kiterhood has no responsibility or obligation to notify participants of all applicable local laws.

4.1 Cost. The base cost to participate to a Chapter will be as listed on the relevant Chapter page on the Kiterhood website. An extra fee may apply, depending of which room you choose. Note that prices are subject to change.

4.2 Payments. Chapter costs are split into two payments, a 50% down payment and the remaining payment. The down payment is due upon commitment, to secure your spot. The remaining 50% can be paid on the spot, but not later than 48 hours after your arrival/check-in.

4.3 Non-refundable and non-transferable. The down payment, as well as the remaining payment, can not be transferred to another person or be use towards for a different Chapter. Barring the exceptions described in section 4.4 below, a payment is also non-refundable.

4.4 Refund exception for the down payment. A full refund of the down payment is possible should you cancel no later than 60 days before the starting date of that chapter. Exceptions to the 60‑day rule can be made only if another applicant on the waiting list is willing to take your spot and pays their down payment within a specified period of time.

4.5 Discounts & Promotions. Kiterhood, at its sole discretion, may offer discounts and/or promotions for certain products or offerings. Any discounts or promotions offered are non-transferable and their advertised timelines are strict. Kiterhood reserves the right to deny the usage of discount codes that are not used as instructed.

Passport, visa, and permit expenses; travel insurance; medical expenses and immunizations; transportation; personal expenses such as food and beverage (alcoholic or otherwise), personal laundry, telephone calls, SIM cards, additional activities and events, and any other items not specifically noted as included.

4.9 Early Departure. No refunds will be provided for participants that depart the Chapter early.

4.10 Cancellations. Kiterhood reserves the right to cancel any Chapter because of inadequate enrollment or any other reason that makes the Chapter economically infeasible to operate or because of good-faith concerns with respect to the safety, health, or welfare of the participants. If a Chapter is canceled prior to departure, Kiterhood will provide participants with a full refund of monies paid to Kiterhood. If Kiterhood cancels a Chapter in progress, participants will receive a prorated refund of monies paid to Kiterhood.

4.11 ‍Deposit & Incidental Policies. You are responsible for paying for lost items and/or damages caused by you on the premises. As part of this clause, a 500€ (or equivalent in US$ or in the Chapter local currency) cash deposit is due by all participants not later than 48 hours after arrival/check-in. This amount will be fully refunded in cash just before departure, unless Kiterhood has to charge you the cost of any repairs/replacement and labor for any lost or broken items. If the cost is less than 500€, the difference will be refunded to you in cash just before departure. If the cost is more than 500€, Kiterhood will invoice you the remaining cost. This amount is due to be paid no later than 7 days from the date of invoicing.

5.1 Health Requirements. By registering for a Kiterhood Chapter and/or using the Services, you certify that you do not have any mental, physical, or other condition or disability that would create a hazard for yourself or other participants. Participants must be in good physical and mental health. Any condition (physical or mental), diet, or treatment requiring special attention must be reported in writing in the Personal Information Survey to take place at the beginning of the on-boarding process. Kiterhood encourages participants to consult a doctor for specific medical advice related to any activities or destinations. Kiterhood reserves the right to request that a participant obtain medical consent prior to departure as a condition of participation, and/or after a trip has begun as a condition of continued participation, should Kiterhood deem it necessary to do so.

‍5.2 Medical Authorization and Coverage. During your Chapter, the availability of medical care may be limited or delayed. You acknowledge that all or part of your Chapter may be in areas where medical care and evacuation may not be available. In the event a participant becomes sufficiently incapacitated as to be unable to direct his or her own care, there is no one on the trip who can direct the participant’s care, and Kiterhood is unable or does not have time to contact a participant’s emergency contact, the participant, by agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, authorizes any medical treatment deemed necessary in the event of any injury or illness while participating in the activity including, but not limited to, calling an ambulance, X-ray, examination, anesthetic, medical or surgical diagnosis, or treatment and hospital care which is deemed advisable by, and is to be rendered under the general or specific supervision of a licensed physician deemed competent to render the necessary care. In addition, by agreeing to these Terms and Conditions participant certifies that he or she has medical insurance which will cover personal accidents, medical expenses, medical evacuation, air ambulance, loss of effects, repatriation costs and all other expenses which might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience occurring to the participant, or that in the absence of this medical insurance coverage, the participant agrees to pay all costs of rescue and/or medical services as may be incurred on the participant’s behalf.

‍5.3 Emergency Contact. Kiterhood reserves the right to contact your stated emergency contact for any reason related to your health or safety.

7.1 Time Limitation for Legal Action. Any claim or legal action whether based on contract, tort, statutory, constitutional or other legal rights, including without limitation bodily injury, illness to or death of a passenger, alleged violations of civil rights, discrimination, consumer or privacy laws, or other statutory, constitutional or legal rights, or for any losses, damages or expenses relating to or in any way arising out of or connected with the Chapter or Services, or against Kiterhood must be commenced within one (1) year from the date of injury, illness or death or the date the incident giving rise to the claim occurred or else shall be irrevocably waived, notwithstanding any provision or law of any state or country or international convention to the contrary.

7.2 Agreement to Arbitrate. You agree that any claim or dispute whether based on contract, tort, statutory, constitutional or other legal rights, including without limitation bodily injury, illness to or death of a passenger, alleged violations of civil rights, discrimination, consumer or privacy laws, or other statutory, constitutional or legal rights, or for any losses, damages or expenses relating to or in any way arising out of or connected with your Chapter, the Services, or against Kiterhood, with the sole exception of claims brought and litigated in small claims court, shall be referred to and resolved exclusively by binding arbitration to be administered in the English language, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction.

‍
‍7.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. Neither party will have the right to a jury trial or to engage in pre-arbitration discovery, except as provided in the applicable arbitration rules and herein, or otherwise to litigate the claim in any court. You and Kiterhood are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding. Other rights that you or we would have in court also may not be available in arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Kiterhood over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND KITERHOOD WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

‍7.4 Forum and Choice of Law. Any and all claims or disputes relating to or in any way arising out of or connected with this contract the Chapter or the Services against Kiterhood and not subject to arbitration under the language above shall be litigated, if at all, in and before the courts of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., to the exclusion of the courts of any other state and country. Any claim or dispute relating to, arising out of or connected with your Chapter, the Services, and provision of services other than on a vessel, whether subject to arbitration or otherwise, shall be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles. Any claim or dispute relating to, arising out of or connected with any vessels, whether subject to arbitration or otherwise, shall be governed by the general maritime law of the United States, and if not inconsistent, the laws of the state of Delaware without regard to conflicts of law principles.

‍7.5 Class Action Waiver. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS PROVIDE FOR THE EXCLUSIVE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH INDIVIDUAL LEGAL ACTION OR ARBITRATION ON YOUR OWN BEHALF INSTEAD OF THROUGH ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. EVEN IF THE APPLICABLE LAW PROVIDES OTHERWISE, YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION OR LAWSUIT AGAINST US WHATSOEVER SHALL BE LITIGATED BY A PARTICIPANT INDIVIDUALLY AND NOT AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OR AS PART OF A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND EACH PARTICIPANT EXPRESSLY AGREES TO WAIVE ANY LAW ENTITLING PARTICIPANT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. If a claim is subject to arbitration under the arbitration clause above, the arbitrator shall have no authority to arbitrate claims on a class action basis. Each participant agrees that this class action waiver shall not be severable under any circumstances from the arbitration clause set forth in the arbitration above, and if for any reason this class action waiver is unenforceable as to any particular claim, then and only then such claim shall not be subject to arbitration.

‍7.6 Indemnification. If requested by Kiterhood, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Kiterhood from and against any and all claims, losses, expenses, demands, or liabilities, including attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by Kiterhood in connection with any claim by a third party arising out of or in any way related to: (1) your use of accommodations or workspace provided for you, or your actions during a Kiterhood event; (2) your violation or alleged violation of these Terms and Conditions or your violation or alleged violation of any applicable law; (3) your infringement or alleged infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any other person or entity; or (4) any dispute between you and an Other Provider. You must not settle any such claim or matter without the prior written consent of Kiterhood. Kiterhood reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you further agree that you will cooperate fully in the defense of any such claims. Both you and Kiterhood acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions, Kiterhood’s officers, directors, employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third party beneficiaries of these Terms and Conditions, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms and Conditions against you as the third party beneficiary hereof.

8.1 Severability. If it turns out that any part of these Terms and Conditions are invalid, void, or unenforceable, that term will be deemed severable and limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and shall not affect any other terms or negate the validity of the rest of this agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

‍8.2 Entire Agreement. These terms, any and all language directly linked to within these terms, and any official Kiterhood policies and waivers (e.g. the Code of Conduct, Kiterhood’s Activity Waiver, etc.), constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Kiterhood relating to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions, and these Terms and Conditions supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications or proposals relating to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions.

‍8.3 Assignment. You cannot assign, transfer or sublicense these Terms and Conditions, or your acceptance into a Kiterhood Chapter, or any accommodations, workspace seats, or services provided as part of a Kiterhood Chapter, without first obtaining our consent. We may assign, transfer, or delegate any of our rights and obligations without consent. You hereby acknowledge and agree that these Terms and Conditions do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and Kiterhood, and neither party has any authority to bind the other in any respect.

‍8.4 Confidential Information. Throughout the course of your participation in a Kiterhood Chapter or while using the Services, you may be exposed to information, Kiterhood vendors, Other Providers, documents, trade secrets, processes, and procedures that are confidential, proprietary to, and/or the intellectual property of Kiterhood (collectively “Confidential Information”). You hereby agree that you will not: (i) collect and/or copy Confidential Information for any use outside of the enjoyment of your Kiterhood trip; (ii) disseminate or publish Confidential Information; or, (iii) use Confidential Information to harm or compete with Kiterhood.

‍8.5 Force Majeure. Sometimes things come up that are outside of our control. You acknowledge and agree that we are excused from any delay and will not liable for any failure to perform any of our obligations stated in these Terms and Conditions if the failure is caused by something that is reasonably beyond our control, including but not limited to, war, earthquakes, fire, flood, explosions, terrorist attacks, government action, or extreme weather.

‍8.6 Waiver. If we do not enforce any part of these Terms and Conditions, it shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder, and does not mean we give up the right to later enforce that part or any other part. In order for any waiver of compliance with these Terms and Conditions to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives.

‍8.7 Travel Insurance. You must have adequate travel insurance in order to participate in a Kiterhood Chapter. Kiterhood may provide information about insurance options and references to trusted insurance partners during onboarding, however, you alone are responsible for securing said insurance and Kiterhood may or may not require you to present proof of said insurance.

8.8 Visitors. To ensure that the common areas remain comfortable, access of people from outside (i.e. who did not go through the application process just like you did) is not allowed on the premises. This includes, without limitation, the villa, pool area, courtyard, etc. However, exceptions can be made:

You alone are responsible for your visitors! Kiterhood assumes no responsibility or liability for your visitors and Kiterhood assumes no responsibility or liability for the actions and/or behaviors of your visitors. Your visitors are expected to behave in accordance with the Kiterhood Code of Conduct. If your visitors act counter to Kiterhood’s values or Code of Conduct, Kiterhood reserves the right to ask them to leave and/or to deny them access to the premises. You MUST be present with your visitors when they are on the premises, this means that visitors CANNOT stay in your room while you take a side trip, go to a kite session or sleep somewhere else. Visitors must be 18 years of age or older. Any ex-Kiterhood member who is not in good standing (e.g. was removed from a chapter, found in violation of the Code of Conduct, or has an outstanding balance with Kiterhood), is NOT able to stay in any Kiterhood accommodations as a visitor.
