The client/program participant shall make no claim as to failure to have read and/or disagree with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

3. As soon as payment has been made to secure participation in the program of interest, the client/program participant has 48 hours to cancel for any reason – and shall receive a 70% money back refund.

4. Momentum Israel has the discretion to freeze the program date to assist the client/program participant to visit and participate in the program of interest at a later date… Keeping in mind, rates may increase annually or accrued taxes may be applied, and therefore an additional payment may become necessary to cover the expenses.

5. Momentum Israel will not be held accountable for any consequences, including but not limited to, any fines, deportation, imprisonment time,  etc- that are imposed on a program participant/s due to his/her visa expiring, misbehavior, or negligence.

   The program participant amuses full responsibility to respect and abide by the length of Visa received. The onus rests solely on the program participant to ensure he/she/group departs Israel on/before the visa expiry date. Momentum Israel, its employees, agents or representatives will not be held responsible for any criminal (or other) consequences which may incur.

   In addition, Program participants are at all times to respect the ethos/religious or other beliefs/opinions of their hosts/peers.

6. In the event client/potential program participant fails to cooperate with a Momentum Israel representative or complete a full payment for the program of interest, the onus/responsibility will fall directly on clients shoulders. As a result, he/she may lose their program participation entirely and at their expense.

7. Should there be any unexpected program changes, made by the specific program of interest, Momentum Israel shall notify the client about these changes and together with the client, decide on a suitable and/or alternative date.

8. Once a client/program participant has registered for a particular program, he/she may not assume that if he/she changes their mind in not participating on the program of interest, this will automatically entitle him/her access to an alternative program or other Momentum Israel services. This decision will be entirely at the discretion of Momentum Israel’s CEO, however at no guarantees.
