Terms and Conditions - Cooking Class

Organization
All courses and classes are organized and conducted by the Organizer, Enrico Vallaperta, with a registered office in Verona, Italy.

Courses and Classes
Courses and classes generally last three hours, followed by a fourth hour for a seated tasting of what was prepared during the class.

Once full payment is received, the Organizer will send a confirmation email with the venue, date, and time of the class.

Charitable Donation
10% of the net proceeds—defined as the amount remaining after taxes, third-party commissions, and direct costs related to the course—will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders Italy to support medical and humanitarian activities in Palestine.
This donation will be made at the end of the calendar year. Upon request, participants may receive a copy of the donation receipt.
