1. Contractual Agreement and Acceptance of Terms
By proceeding with a booking through Suda Saunas Inc.’s online platform, the individual or entity making the booking (“You,” “Your,” or “Renter”) acknowledges, accepts, and agrees to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”). This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between You and Suda Saunas Inc. (“Suda Saunas,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our”) and supersedes all prior agreements, representations, or understandings, whether oral or written.
2. Payment Terms and Waiver Execution Requirement
A reservation will only be confirmed upon receipt of full payment and executed Waivers of Liability and Assumption of Risk from You and all participants. Payment alone does not constitute booking confirmation. Failure to submit executed waivers prior to the scheduled rental date will result in cancellation without refund.
2a. Mandatory Execution of Separate Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk
In addition to accepting these Terms and Conditions, You, as the individual completing the booking, are required to execute the Suda Saunas Inc. Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk prior to participating in any rental or activity. By signing the Waiver, You affirm that You are acting as the authorized representative for all participants associated with Your booking and that You accept full legal responsibility for ensuring that all participants are informed of, and bound by, the terms of the Waiver and this Agreement.
The Waiver includes, without limitation, an express and irrevocable release of liability for negligence, breach of contract, and any other legal claims, as well as a full assumption of risk and indemnification obligations on behalf of Yourself and all other participants covered under the booking.
Failure to execute the Waiver will result in denied service without refund. The terms of the Waiver are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
3. No-Cancellation and Non-Refundable Sales Policy
All bookings are final. Cancellations, no-shows, late arrivals, adverse weather concerns, illness, scheduling conflicts, or personal emergencies do not entitle You to a refund, credit, or rescheduling, unless explicitly stated otherwise in this Agreement.
4. Limited Discretionary Refunds for Verified Emergencies
Refunds or credits may, at the sole and absolute discretion of Suda Saunas Inc., be granted in cases of sudden and verifiable medical emergencies. Documentary evidence must be submitted within five (5) business days following the scheduled rental date. All decisions by Suda Saunas Inc. regarding such exceptions are final and non-negotiable.
5. Health Risk Disclosure and Medical Contraindications
By making this booking, You represent and warrant that You and all participants are medically and physically capable of participating in sauna, cold plunge, and aromatherapy activities.

6. Voluntary Participation and Personal Risk Acceptance
You expressly acknowledge that participation in Suda Saunas activities is strictly voluntary and undertaken at Your sole risk. It is Your sole responsibility to monitor Your physical limits and health condition before and during participation.

7. Full Assumption of Risk and Comprehensive Waiver of Liability (Including Negligence and Breach)
You acknowledge that participation in sauna, cold plunge, and aromatherapy activities carries inherent risks, including but not limited to physical injury, burns, illness, allergic reactions, property damage, emotional distress, or death. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY RELEASE, WAIVE, INDEMNIFY, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE SUDA SAUNAS INC., ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, OR DEMANDS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO PARTICIPATION, WHETHER BASED ON NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
8. Indemnification and Defense Obligation

9. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Suda Saunas Inc.’s total cumulative liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees actually paid by You for the specific booking; or (b) CAD $1,000. Under no circumstances shall Suda Saunas Inc. be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or special damages.
10. Compliance with Laws and Regulatory Requirements
Suda Saunas Inc. exercises commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable municipal, provincial, and federal laws, by-laws, health regulations, and other legal requirements at the time-of-service delivery. However, Suda Saunas expressly disclaims any liability for unintentional, unknown, or recently changed regulatory non-compliance that could not have been reasonably anticipated or interpreted at the time of performance. It is the sole responsibility of the Renter to ensure the intended use and site-specific location of the sauna complies with all applicable local ordinances, zoning laws, and property-use restrictions.
11. Regulatory Shutdowns and Compliance Orders
If Suda Saunas Inc. is required to suspend, terminate, or alter any rental or service as a result of enforcement action, compliance order, regulatory directive, or legal mandate issued by a municipal, provincial, or federal authority, Suda Saunas Inc.’s sole and exclusive liability shall be limited to refunding the booking fee paid for the affected rental. Under no circumstances shall Suda Saunas Inc. be liable for consequential damages, lost income, inconvenience, or emotional distress arising from such compliance actions.
12. Force Majeure (Uncontrollable Events)
Suda Saunas Inc. shall not be liable for any failure to perform or delay in performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, public health emergencies, power failures, strikes, lock-ins or -outs, government orders, equipment failures, or transport disruptions. In such cases, Suda Saunas Inc. may cancel or reschedule the rental at its sole discretion without liability beyond a refund of the booking fee.
13. Adverse Weather Policy
All rentals proceed regardless of weather conditions, except when Suda Saunas Inc., at its sole discretion, determines that severe weather poses a safety risk. No refunds, rescheduling, or credits will be issued for adverse weather unless an official cancellation notice is provided by Suda Saunas Inc.
14. Modification or Rescheduling by Suda Saunas Inc.
Suda Saunas Inc. reserves the right to modify, reschedule, or cancel any booking due to operational needs, equipment failure, staffing issues, site accessibility, safety considerations, or regulatory compliance. In such cases, Suda Saunas Inc.’s liability will be limited exclusively to a refund of the booking fee paid.
15. Early Termination for Safety or Participant Conduct
Suda Saunas Inc. retains the right to immediately terminate any rental in progress due to unsafe conditions, safety risks, equipment concerns, illegal conduct, or participant behavior deemed hazardous, negligent, disrespectful, or disruptive. In the event of early termination, Suda Saunas Inc. shall not be obligated to provide a refund for any unused rental time.
16. Participant Conduct and Behavioral Expectations
You, as the Renter, are fully responsible for ensuring that You and all participants under Your booking conduct themselves safely, responsibly, and lawfully during the entire rental period, including during transport, setup, use, and return of the sauna unit. All participants must comply with all applicable federal, provincial, and municipal laws and safety regulations at all times while using the sauna unit, trailer, and any associated equipment.
Suda Saunas Inc. reserves the right to impose post-rental cleaning charges, repair costs, restoration fees, loss-of-income compensation, or pursue legal action in cases where credible evidence demonstrates that illegal activities, reckless behavior, harassment, property damage, or any other prohibited conduct occurred during the rental period and resulted in damage, contamination, or loss.
The determination of whether post-rental conduct violated this Agreement shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of Suda Saunas Inc., based on credible evidence, including but not limited to renter reports, witness statements, photographs, physical inspection findings, or third-party complaints.
This Clause operates independently of, and in addition to, any other provisions in this Agreement relating to damages, cleaning, or loss recovery.
17. No Smoking or Vaping Policy and Associated Penalties
Smoking, vaping, and the use of any tobacco products, cannabis products, e-cigarettes, or similar inhaled substances are strictly prohibited inside the sauna unit, inside the trailer, and within a five-meter radius of the sauna structure.
This prohibition includes any conduct that could result in smoke residue, odor contamination, soot buildup, or staining of interior sauna materials. This policy does not apply to external heat sources used for the normal operation of the sauna stove or to third-party outdoor heating devices not owned or controlled by Suda Saunas Inc.
Any violation of this policy will result in an automatic cleaning and odor-remediation fee of CAD $2,000.
If smoking, vaping, or related activities cause damages that render the sauna unit unavailable for future rentals, You agree to compensate Suda Saunas Inc. for lost rental income at the full nightly rental rate for each day the unit remains out of service, up to a maximum of twenty (20) weeks, in addition to material and labor costs required for restoration.
18. Age Restrictions and Supervision of Minors
Suda Saunas Inc. welcomes participants of all ages to enjoy the sauna experience.

You and all participants expressly acknowledge full responsibility for any health issues, injuries, or adverse outcomes arising from substance use prior to or during the use of Suda Saunas facilities.
If, upon post-rental inspection or through credible evidence, it is determined that alcohol, drugs, or controlled substances were used in or around the sauna unit and such use resulted in damage, contamination, or safety risks, You agree to accept full financial responsibility for all resulting costs. This includes, but is not limited to, cleaning fees, material costs, professional labor charges, third-party service fees, and lost rental income while the unit is out of service.

Reasonable wear and tear is acceptable; however, excessive cleaning, sanitation, or restoration will incur additional charges.
If Suda Saunas Inc. determines that cleaning, repair, or restoration is required due to Your use, negligence, or failure to maintain proper care, You agree to pay all associated costs, including materials, labor, and third-party service fees. Lost rental income for downtime due to cleaning or repairs will also be billed. All such invoices are payable within forty-five (45) days. Documentation will be provided.
