General Terms and Conditions

Scope

These terms apply to all ceremonies and rituals that Timo Schaffeld offers under the name Bagtun. Deviating agreements only apply if they are recorded in writing. Email is sufficient.

Offer and agreement

After the first conversation you receive a quote with the service, date and price. The agreement is concluded when you confirm the quote in writing. Only then is the date reserved for you.

Prices and payment

The prices in the quote apply, in Swiss francs. Travel costs and any accommodation are listed in the quote. The payment terms are stated in the quote.

Your contribution

For a personal ceremony I need your stories and details. You are responsible for providing them in time and for making sure that the people you tell me about agree to them being shared. You are responsible for permits at the venue, technical equipment and infrastructure, unless we have agreed otherwise.

Postponement and cancellation by you

If you would like to postpone the date, we look for a new one together. The conditions for a cancellation are stated in the quote. Services already provided, such as conversations and written texts, are charged in any case.

If I am unable to attend

If I cannot come because of illness, accident or force majeure, I inform you immediately and, where possible, look for a suitable replacement. If no replacement can be found, you get back payments already made for services not provided. Further claims are excluded to the extent permitted by law.

No legal effect

Wedding ceremonies and welcome ceremonies have no effect under civil law. In Switzerland, marriage is concluded at the civil registry office.

Mountain Ritual

You take part in the Mountain Ritual on your own responsibility. It does not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment. You inform me in advance about health restrictions and make sure you have suitable equipment and insurance. In dangerous weather I can adapt or cancel tours.

Texts and photos

You may use the texts I write for you freely for private purposes. The rights remain with me. I only use photos or names of you on this website with your consent.

Liability

I am only liable for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, to the extent permitted by law.

Applicable law

Swiss law applies. The place of jurisdiction is Bern, unless the law mandatorily provides otherwise.
