This coupon is transferrable. The coupon holder could use it for joining any VolTra’s activities as cash. All coupon could be used once and for only one event organized by VolTra. It is valid for 2 years from the issuing date.

Non-Personal Reasons

If your workcamp is cancelled by the reasons of hosting workcamp organizations (e.g. the workcamp is full or cancelled, the dates of the workcamp are changed, etc.), you could request for refund.
