OBJECT

By means of the present text we make available to all users and customers the conditions of use and registration that apply to our online services platform https://meditationtechniques.org and the services we provide, being reflected in it all the rights and obligations of the parties.

All users who visit or access our platform and / or use any of the services we make available, accept the terms of use and privacy policy, as well as the various modifications and / or additional legal texts that are included in the future. If you do not agree with any of the conditions, you can unsubscribe from the service at any time or, if you are not a registered user, leave the platform.

Along with these conditions, each of the services provided may be regulated by conditions of use and registration of a particular nature, being mandatory in any case that the user expressly accepts them before use and / or contracting.

REGISTRATION AND USER ACCESS

1. REGISTRATION PROCEDURE

Any user, provided that he/she is over 18 years of age and has sufficient power of attorney in case of acting on behalf of a third party, whether natural or legal person, can register on our platform.

To do so, you only need to access the form provided for this purpose, enter the requested data and accept the conditions of use and registration, as well as the privacy policy that will govern the relationship between the user and the provider.

With the username and password entered during the registration process, the user will be able to access the platform to contract and manage their services and information, as well as complete their user profile.

ELECTRONIC CONTRACTING OF SERVICES

1. PRIOR INFORMATION APPLICABLE TO ELECTRONIC CONTRACTING

In accordance with the provisions of laws on information society services and electronic commerce, contracts entered into electronically shall produce all the effects provided for by the legal system, provided that the consent of both parties is present and can be accredited.

For these purposes, it shall be understood that the completion of all the phases of the registration process and, if applicable, the payment of the corresponding economic amount, necessarily implies the provision of the express consent required for the contracting of the service.

Similarly, and in accordance with the laws of services of the information society and electronic commerce, it is made available to users, prior to the start of the recruitment procedure all information relating to it.

The contracting conditions indicated below are directly applicable to the contracting of all the services made available through the web portal https://meditationtechniques.org, unless expressly provided otherwise.

2. CONTRACTING PROCEDURE

The contracting procedure of the services is carried out completely electronically through our platform, without the physical presence of the parties and/or external physical transaction at any time.

Any person with Internet access can carry out the contracting process, with the only prerequisite of having registered as a user, which is essential to start the contracting procedure.

The phases of the contracting procedure are visible to users throughout the entire contracting procedure. Three phases can be distinguished:

• User identification.
• Selection of the service and payment method.
• Confirmation of the service.

The user only has to select the service he/she wishes to purchase and click on the purchase button provided for this purpose. This will start the contracting procedure, which will always follow the steps indicated above for all available services.

Once the service, quantity, applicable taxes, total price and payment method have been selected, the platform will show the user a summary of the purchase made, together with the applicable purchase conditions, which in any case must be expressly accepted by the user in order to continue the purchase process.

Once the acceptance box of the contracting conditions has been checked, in case of having selected as payment method any of the electronic means, the user will be directly redirected to the corresponding external payment platform to make the payment, without https://meditationtechniques.org having the possibility to access at any time to the user’s credit card data and/or payment systems.

The security of the payment procedure is guaranteed by the financial institution.

Once the contracting of the service has been completed, a summary screen of the contracting process will be shown.

If payment by credit card has been selected, it will be carried out through the bank’s POS, a platform completely unrelated and independent of the provider.

Within a maximum period of 24 hours, the service contracting party will receive an e-mail containing all the information related to the contracted service. This document is the confirmation that the contract has been successfully completed, being valid as a means of accreditation for any type of claim, as long as the corresponding proof of payment is attached.

The provider informs the user that all the contracts made will be registered in a file for the control and management of contracts, in which will be reflected along with the information of the contracted services, additional information to ensure the security and evidence of the correct completion of the procedure.

3. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL FROM THE CONTRACTING

The user has the right to withdraw from the contract during the period from the time the service has been contracted.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the user must simply request it in writing to any of the addresses mentioned below, expressly indicating your request to exercise the right of withdrawal:

• Postal Address: 130 Marlborough Rd 28. Briarcliff Manor, NY 10510. United States of America.
• E-mail: info@ifsu.org

In any case, it is up to the consumer and user to prove that he has exercised his right of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

Upon receipt of the request to exercise the right of withdrawal, we will proceed to refund the amount paid (without in any case include shipping and handling charges that may have been paid initially) within a maximum period of 14 calendar days from the time of receipt of the withdrawal and always through the means used to pay for the service, or failing that by bank transfer.

The exercise of the right of withdrawal requires at all times that the user has not consumed or enjoyed any of the contracted services. In the event that any of these services have been consumed, it will not be possible to exercise the right of withdrawal.

The user undertakes during the term of this contract to:
