By accessing or using the Website, and/or by placing a booking, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Website or purchase any services.

These Terms may be updated from time to time. The most current version will always be available on this page with the "Last Updated" date shown above.

Participation in any Experience (as defined in Section 2) is additionally subject to the participant's execution of a separate Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability document ("Waiver"), as described in Section 12.6. The Waiver is supplementary to these Terms.

11.3

Email addresses will not be shared with or sold to third parties for marketing purposes.

12. Liability and Assumption of Risk
 

12.1 The Hideout's Responsibility

The Hideout is responsible for:

• The proper organization and delivery of the Experience as described at the time of booking

• Providing the services included in the booking (accommodations, meals, activities) as described, or suitable alternatives where necessary

• Ensuring that reasonable safety measures are in place during the Experience

12.2 Limitation of Liability

Participation in the Experience involves inherent risks, including but not limited to risks associated with physical activities, outdoor environments, group settings, travel, and varying weather and terrain conditions. By booking and participating, you acknowledge that you understand and voluntarily accept these inherent risks.
 

The Hideout's liability is limited as follows:

• The Hideout is not liable for loss or damage to property unless caused directly by The Hideout's gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) or intentional misconduct (Vorsatz).

• Liability for slight negligence (leichte Fahrlässigkeit) is excluded, except in cases involving injury to life, body, or health, or the breach of a material contractual obligation (Kardinalpflicht). In such cases, liability is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

• The Hideout's total aggregate liability for any claim or series of related claims arising from a single booking shall not exceed three times the total amount paid by the Participant for that booking.

12.3 Personal Belongings

Participants are solely responsible for the safety and security of their personal belongings at all times during the Experience. The Hideout is not liable for loss, theft, or damage to personal property.

12.4 Third-Party Services and External Factors

The Hideout is not responsible for disruptions, delays, or failures caused by:

• External service providers (e.g., transportation companies, venue operators, catering partners)

• Travel delays or cancellations

• Force Majeure events (as defined in Section 9)

• Participants' own actions, negligence, or failure to follow instructions

12.5 Health and Insurance

Participants are strongly advised to arrange their own:

• Travel insurance (including cancellation coverage)

• Health/medical insurance valid for the duration and location of the Experience

• Personal liability insurance

The Hideout does not provide insurance coverage for participants.
 

12.6 Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability

Prior to participation in the Experience, all participants will be required to read and sign a separate Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability document ("Waiver").

The Waiver outlines the specific risks inherent to the activities included in the Experience and requires the participant's acknowledgment and voluntary acceptance of those risks.

Participation in the Experience is conditional upon signing the Waiver. Any participant who declines to sign the Waiver will not be permitted to participate.
In such cases:

• If the participant notifies The Hideout of their refusal to sign the Waiver before the start of the Experience, the cancellation terms in Section 7 will apply based on the date of notification

• If the participant refuses to sign the Waiver upon arrival at the Experience, this will be treated as a voluntary withdrawal and no refund will be issued
   

The Waiver is supplementary to these Terms & Conditions and does not replace the liability provisions set out in this Section 12. In the event of any conflict between the Waiver and these Terms, the provision that offers greater protection to The Hideout shall prevail, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
 

Important: Consistent with German law, the Waiver does not exclude or limit The Hideout's liability for:

• Death or personal injury and those damages caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct

• Any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory applicable law

13. Intellectual Property
 

13.1

13.5

All experience concepts, event formats, program designs, and branded materials created by The Hideout are proprietary. Unauthorized reproduction, imitation, or use is prohibited.

14. Indemnification
 

14.1

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Hideout (Jen Serrat), and any staff, contractors, volunteers, or service providers associated with The Hideout, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:

• Your breach of these Terms

• Your negligent, reckless, or unlawful conduct during the Experience

• Any injury or damage you cause to other participants, staff, or third parties

• Any inaccurate information you provided during the booking process

• Your failure to disclose relevant medical conditions, allergies, or injuries as required under Section 5.2

14.2

This indemnification obligation survives the termination of the contract and the conclusion of the Experience.

15. Claims and Complaints
 

15.1

If any issue arises during the Experience, participants should report it immediately to a member of The Hideout staff on-site. This allows us to investigate and attempt to resolve the matter during the event.

15.2

Formal claims or complaints must be submitted in writing (email to hello@comehideout.com) within one (1) month after the end of the Experience.

15.3

Claims submitted after the one-month deadline may not be considered, unless the participant can demonstrate that they were unable to submit the claim within the specified period for reasons beyond their control.

15.4

The Hideout will acknowledge receipt of a complaint within 5 business days and aims to provide a substantive response within 30 days.

16. Disclaimer
 

16.1

The content of the Website is provided "as is" and "as available" for general information and booking purposes.

16.2

While The Hideout makes reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information on the Website, no warranties or representations — express or implied — are made regarding:

• The accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any Website content

• The availability or uninterrupted operation of the Website

• The absence of errors, viruses, or other harmful components

16.3

The Website may contain links to third-party websites for convenience or informational purposes. At the time of linking, the linked pages were checked for possible legal violations. No unlawful content was identified at the time the links were created.

The inclusion of external links does not imply endorsement of the content behind the link. Continuous monitoring of external links without specific indications of legal violations is not reasonable. Upon becoming aware of any legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.

16.4

The Hideout does not guarantee specific outcomes or experiences from participation. Activities may vary depending on weather, group dynamics, venue conditions, and other factors.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
 

17.1 Governing Law

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes), are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

17.2 Jurisdiction

Where permitted by law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms is Berlin, Germany.
 

For consumers (Verbraucher) residing in the European Union, this does not affect your right to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence, as provided by mandatory EU consumer protection laws.
 

18. Right of Withdrawal (Widerrufsrecht) — EU Consumers
 

18.1

Under EU consumer protection law (Directive 2011/83/EU, as implemented in German law under §§312g, 355 BGB), consumers who enter into a contract at a distance (e.g., online) generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal ("cooling-off period").

18.2

However, this right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the provision of leisure services that specify a specific date or period of performance (§312g Abs. 2 Nr. 9 BGB).

Since The Hideout's Experience takes place on a specific date, the statutory right of withdrawal is excluded under this exception.

18.3

By completing a booking, you acknowledge and agree that:

• The Experience is a leisure service with a specific date of performance

• The statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to your booking

• The cancellation terms set out in Section 7 of these Terms apply instead

18.4

For the avoidance of doubt, the cancellation rights described in Section 7 are contractual cancellation rights offered by The Hideout as a goodwill measure, and are separate from and in addition to any mandatory statutory rights that may apply.

19. Severability
 

19.1

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms.

19.2

The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

19.3

The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects the original commercial intent of the parties.

20. Entire Agreement
 

20.1

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and the Waiver (Section 12.6), constitute the entire agreement between you and The Hideout regarding your use of the Website and the purchase and participation in services.

20.2

No prior written or oral agreements, representations, or understandings between the parties shall have any effect.

20.3

Any amendment or waiver of these Terms must be made in writing and confirmed by The Hideout.
