Please read the Terms and Conditions of ISPIICE before submitting your online application form. By submitting your application form, you certify that you agree to the following terms and conditions also which are not mentioned here:
1.) DRESS CODE
– India is a conservative country, and this is largely reflected in clothing traditions.
– Volunteers should be aware of Indian cultural norms and how this affects dress choices.
– By following a similar dress code as the locals, you will show greater respect and be better accepted into the community.
– Women should wear full length trousers or skirts and sleeved tops, to avoid showing shoulders or cleavage. Tight clothing, vest tops and shorts are not recommended for men or women and clothes must be tidy and presentable when going to work areas. As these restrictions on clothing exist, more time will be made for female volunteers to purchase an Indian dress to wear to work areas and male volunteers may also purchase kurta pajama (tunic and wide trousers). When at iSPiiCE volunteering in India base camp clothing is more relaxed.
2.) INSURANCE
– ISPIICE does not provide the volunteer with insurance of any kind. All volunteer projects and combine volunteer travel programs require valid travel insurance; this is mandatory for all volunteers.
3.) FEES
– ISPIICE makes every effort for its fees to be affordable and ISPIICE programs operate with a two-fee structure: Registration Fees and Program Fees.
4.) LOCAL RULES
– The volunteer agrees that ISPIICE shall not be responsible or liable for any volunteer who disobey any law or regulation of any country visited.
– The volunteer agrees to comply with the ISPIICE Code of Conduct.
– The volunteer must abide by the rules put in place by the ISPIICE organization, volunteer placement institution. Breaking these rules may result in dismissal from the program with no refund.

6.) IMMUNIZATIONS
– All travelers should visit either their personal physician or a travel health clinic at least 6 – 8 weeks prior to departure. Each volunteer is responsible for checking and confirming the immunizations required for their specific destination of travel. Should ISPIICE make any suggestions and provide advice on immunizations this is for indicative purposes only.
– Volunteers are solely responsible for having the correct and necessary immunizations that they require for their travel. ISPIICE strongly recommend that volunteers visit their health professional at least eight weeks before traveling outside their country.
7.) REGISTRATION FEES
– All volunteers who have been accepted to participate in one of the ISPIICE programs are required to first register with ISPIICE.

– If your trip cannot proceed as planned, at the discretion of ISPIICE, the registration fee will remain valid indefinitely, for any program at any future date.
8.) PROGRAM FEES
– The payment of program fees does not guarantee the exact program selected. As with all volunteering in developing countries it is important that volunteers remain flexible.
– Details of applicable program fees are outlined on each program page of the ISPIICE website, and any fee revisions will be made public via that platform. Program fees may be subject to change but will not affect volunteers who have already paid their registration fee.
– All incurred transaction costs pertaining to online, bank, or wire transfers must be covered by the volunteer.
