Participant Agreement & Release of Liability:General Event Waiver

Sri Centre International d.b.a. Chakra Institute Participant Agreement & Release of Liability

General Event Waiver

By clicking to agree at registration or attending this event, you confirm that your participation is voluntary and undertaken at your own risk. You may discontinue participation at any time. 

The Chakra Institute is an educational nonprofit organization. It does not provide therapy, counseling, psychological treatment, medical care, or any licensed professional services. Nothing offered through the Institute — including this event — constitutes or should be construed as the practice of psychology, psychotherapy, medicine, or any other licensed profession. Participation does not create a clinical, therapeutic, or professional relationship of any kind. 

1. Nature of This Event This event is offered by Sri Centre International d.b.a. Chakra Institute (the "Institute") and is educational and spiritual in nature. It is not treatment of any kind — clinical, psychological, medical, or otherwise — and makes no claim to treat, diagnose, or assess any condition. No therapeutic or clinical relationship is formed through participation. This event may include teachings drawn from the Microchakra Psychology framework and Vedic and Tantric philosophy as developed by Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar, founder of the Chakra Institute. This framework is not a well-accepted or proven theory in psychology and would be considered an alternative or emerging approach. We are approaching human experience from the spiritual and educational dimension. 

2. About This Event Event sessions may be managed and hosted by Institute staff and officers, and may include presentations by authorized guest speakers, instructors, or student teachers. Guest speakers and student teachers present their own perspectives and the Institute is not responsible for the content of individual presentations. 

3. Recording & Future Use This event may be recorded at the Institute's discretion. Recordings may be shared with enrolled participants and may be edited for use as future educational offerings. The Chakra Institute will make reasonable efforts to protect participant privacy in edited recordings, though this cannot always be fully guaranteed. Please share only what you are comfortable with potentially being heard or seen beyond this group. By attending, I grant Sri Centre International d.b.a. Chakra Institute a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to record my voice, image, likeness, name, and contributions made during the event, and to use, edit, reproduce, distribute, and publicly display such recordings in connection with this and future educational offerings. I waive any right to inspect or approve the finished use and any right of compensation in connection with it. 

4. Intellectual Property All event content, materials, and recordings — including the teachings, frameworks, archival content, and curriculum developed by Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar — are the intellectual property of Sri Centre International d.b.a. Chakra Institute. Participants may not record sessions or reproduce, distribute, or share event materials in any form without prior written permission from the Institute. 

5. Registration Fees & Refund Policy For paid events: All registration fees are non-refundable. No refunds will be issued for any reason including but not limited to technical difficulties experienced by the participant, schedule conflicts or change of plans after registration, missed sessions, health or personal circumstances arising after registration, or dissatisfaction with content or outcomes. The sole exception: In the event the Institute cancels the entire program, participants will receive a full refund or credit toward a future institute event at their discretion. Partial schedule changes, substitution of guest speakers, or technical issues affecting individual sessions do not constitute a program cancellation. For free or donation-only events: No registration fees are charged. Donations are voluntary and non-refundable. The Institute reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any free event without financial obligation to participants. 

6. Agreement, Release & Acknowledgments I agree that my participation in this event is voluntary and at my own risk. I acknowledge that not all risks of participation can be known in advance and voluntarily assume those risks. In the event that I should require medical care or treatment, I accept that I am responsible to initiate any care needed. I further agree to assume all costs involved and agree to be financially responsible for any costs incurred as a result of needed medical care. I HEREBY, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, or personal representatives, knowingly and voluntarily enter into this WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY and hereby waive any and all rights, claims, or causes of action of any kind arising out of my participation in this event. I HEREBY release and forever discharge Sri Centre International d.b.a. Chakra Institute, its board of trustees, officers, agents, attorneys, staff, volunteers, independent contractors, authorized teachers, heirs, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Releasees"), from any and all claims, liability, or physical or psychological injury of any kind that I may suffer as a direct result of my participation. This release applies to claims based on negligence and other ordinary causes; it does not purport to release liability for gross negligence, willful or intentional misconduct, or any other liability that, as a matter of applicable law, may not be released or limited by agreement. I FURTHER AGREE to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Releasees against any and all claims, suits, or actions of any kind whatsoever for liability, damages, compensation, or otherwise brought by me or anyone on my behalf, including attorney fees and any related costs. I represent that I am at least eighteen (18) years of age and have full legal capacity to enter into this agreement. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Yavapai County, Arizona. If any provision of this agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between me and Sri Centre International d.b.a. Chakra Institute with respect to this event. I consent to executing this agreement electronically and agree that my electronic signature, including a checked box submitted through an online registration form, has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature under the federal E-SIGN Act and any applicable state law.
