c. These Terms and Conditions also apply to additional and follow-up assignments from Client to Pranic Vivek.
d. The provisions of these Terms and Conditions may only be deviated from if an express written agreement has been concluded between the parties involved. The applicability of any purchasing or other terms and conditions of Client is expressly rejected.
e. If ambiguity exists regarding the interpretation of one or more provisions of these Terms and Conditions or a situation arises that is not regulated in these Terms and Conditions, the interpretation must take place in the light of these provisions.
f. If Pranic Vivek does not always require strict compliance with these Terms and Conditions, this does not mean that the provisions thereof do not apply, or that Pranic Vivek would lose, or have given up, the right to require strict compliance with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions in other cases or at a later time.
g. If one or more of the provisions in these Terms at any time are wholly or partially void or voidable, the other provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. Pranic Vivek and Client will then consult to agree new provisions to replace the void or voided provisions, taking into account as much as possible the purpose and intent of the original provisions.
h. Pranic Vivek’s privacy policy (see: https://pranicvivek.nl/privacy-policy/), cookie statement (see: https://pranicvivek.nl/cookie-verklaring/) and disclaimer (see: https://pranicvivek.nl/disclaimer/) are an integral part of these Terms and Conditions.

a. The offer
(i) An offer contains a complete and accurate description of the Product offered and, if applicable, the digital content. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the Client.

i) During the reflection period of clause 3.c.i) above, the Client shall handle the Product and its packaging with care. He shall unpack or use the Product only to the extent necessary to determine its nature, characteristics and operation. The premise here is that the Client may only handle and inspect the product as he would be permitted to do in a retail store.
(ii) The Client shall only be liable for depreciation of the Product resulting from a manner of handling the Product beyond that permitted in the preceding paragraph.
iii) As soon as possible but not later than 14 days from the day of the notification by the Client of the withdrawal, the Client shall return the Product, or the Client shall hand it over to (an authorized representative of) Pranic Vivek. The Client has complied with the return period in any case if he returns the Product before the cooling-off period has expired.

(1) Sealed audio, video recordings and computer software, the seal of which has been broken after delivery;
(2) Newspapers, periodicals or magazines, excluding subscriptions thereto; and/or
(3) The provision of digital content other than on a tangible medium, but only if: (a) performance began with the express prior consent of the Client; and (b) the Client has declared that he/she thereby forfeits his/her right of withdrawal.

In this case, the Client has the right to terminate the agreement without charge. After dissolution, Pranic Vivek will promptly refund the amount paid by the Client.
iv) The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with Pranic Vivek until the time of delivery to the Client, unless expressly agreed otherwise. - Force majeure
a. Pranic Vivek is not obliged to fulfill any obligation to the Client if he is hindered to do so as a result of a circumstance that is not due to his fault, and neither under the law, a legal act or generally accepted practice. Illness on the part of Pranic Vivek falls under force majeure.
b. Pranic Vivek may suspend obligations under the agreement during the period that the force majeure continues. If this period lasts longer than two months, then either party is entitled to dissolve the agreement, without any obligation to pay damages to the other party.
c. Insofar as Pranic Vivek has already partially fulfilled its obligations under the agreement when force majeure occurs or will be able to fulfill them, and the part fulfilled or to be fulfilled is of independent value, Pranic Vivek is entitled to invoice that part separately. The Client is obliged to pay this invoice as if it were a separate agreement. - Suspension and dissolution
a. Pranic Vivek is authorized to suspend performance of its obligations or dissolve the agreement if: (i) the Client fails to perform its obligations under the agreement, in full or in a timely manner, (ii) after the conclusion of the agreement circumstances come to the knowledge of Pranic Vivek, give good reason to fear that the Client will not fulfill the obligations, (iii) the Client was requested, at the conclusion of the agreement, to provide security for the fulfillment of its obligations under the agreement and such security is not provided, or is insufficient, or (iv) due to the delay on the part of the Client, Pranic Vivek can no longer be required to fulfill the agreement at the originally agreed conditions.
b. Furthermore, Pranic Vivek is authorized to dissolve the agreement if circumstances arise of such a nature that fulfillment of the agreement is impossible or if other circumstances arise of such a nature that unaltered maintenance of the agreement cannot reasonably be required of Pranic Vivek.
c. As a result of the dissolution, Pranic Vivek’s claims against the Client are immediately due and payable. As a result of suspension by Pranic Vivek, it retains its claims under the law and agreement. Client shall be required to reimburse work already performed and expenses incurred by Pranic Vivek.
d. If the dissolution is attributable to the Client, Pranic Vivek is entitled to compensation for damages, including costs, incurred directly and indirectly. Pranic Vivek for its part is not liable to pay any damages or compensation. - Change conditions and provision
a. Pranic Vivek is entitled at any time to amend or supplement these terms and conditions.
b. The amended Terms will apply to new agreements.
c. The most current version of the terms and conditions is always available through Pranic Vivek’s website. - Applicable law, disputes and complaints
a. All legal relationships to which Pranic Vivek is a party shall be governed exclusively by Dutch law, even if an obligation is wholly or partially performed abroad or if the party involved in the legal relationship is domiciled there. If a dispute is not resolved by mutual agreement, the dispute may be submitted by either party to the competent Dutch court.
b. Pranic Vivek complies with the requirements of the Quality, Complaints and Disputes Act (WKKGZ). In case of complaints about the treatment then it is good to make that known. If a personal conversation or mediation does not yield the desired result, then use can be made of the complaint procedure of the Dispute Resolution Authority Alternative Therapists (see: https://catcollectief.nl/klacht-over-een-cat-therapeut/).
