Terms and Conditions

Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are Student Society, doing business as Grad Trip 2026 ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a non-for-profit association registered in Canton de Vaud at Epalinges, whose main purpose is to organize the Graduation Trip of each EHL cohort. We are launching Early Bird tickets for this trip. The benefits of partaking in the launch of the 50 Early Bird tickets are as follows: guaranteeing a place on the trip, choosing the accommodation type (based upon availability) and who to share it with, as well as a Grad Trip merch item that will be defined in the future.

We operate the website https://soldeayer.com/ (the "Site") as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services").

At the site, users will be able to buy tickets to attend the Grad Trip itself happening at the end of June 2026, mostly for students graduating from EHL in the Class of July 2026. Additionally, merchandise will also be available that will fund the Grad Trip. The website also promotes parties organised by third parties that will also help fund the upcoming trip.

You can contact us by phone at +412892797 / +584241900868, email at constanza.quintana@ehl.ch, or by mail to Route de Berne 303.
