Group Unions

Group Unions :

If a group would like to celebrate the joining in of a new Member or, if a Member would like to make a commitment to a group, we offer Group Commitment Ceremonies with the Universal JoPs. You can recieve a Group Commitment / Group Union Certificate if you wish.

How to arrange a Group Commitment Ceremony with the Universal JoP's

In order to arrange a Group Union Ceremony you need to:

email to [email protected]

including the following information:

Date of the Ceremony
Time (PST) of the Ceremony
Name of Group / Member
Name of the JoP, should you have a special preferrence.
Venue you would like to use for the Ceremony
language you request

Please plan at least 3-4 days ahead to give time for all needed approvals. Those take a bit due to many different time zones.
Requests with a date under the 3 days minimum cannot be considered.

Ceremony fees:
The fee for a group union is 100 rays.
As soon as you have been contacted by your assigned JoP the fees for the JoP are due.
If those are not transferred the JoP will not proceed with your ceremony.
Please transfer the rays directly to UtherverseEvents for your ceremony.
Your Universal JoP will set up the ceremony for you and it will be listed on the official Group Union page.

Commitment Certificate:
If you would like to have an official certificate, please send 20 rays for the certificate to your JoP, who will request the certificate for you after your Ceremony has taken place. You will recieve your certificate within a week after your Ceremony.

JoP request:
You can request a particular Universal JoP of your choice - if you dont have a particular JoP we will assign you one that is available. If the JoP of your choice is not available we will assign you one. In the event there is no JoP in your requested language available you will receive an English spoken JoP.

Please refrain from booking a JoP directly to avoid a double booking!

Please make sure you can be contacted by your JoP over your social center page or contact your assigned JoP over the profile yourself.

Commitment Ceremony / JoP
Please make sure that your Ceremony starts at the scheduled time. We plan one hour for the ceremony itself which includes enough time for short delays due to any technical issues that might occur.

If your Ceremony has not started within 30 minutes after the scheduled time, the JoP is allowed to call the Ceremony off and there will be no refund.

Ceremonies are scheduled to start at a specific time, same as any other event. Please notify your guests to be there on time and make sure that you have you clothes textures set up and ready.

Ray transfer:
Please note that the JoP can not issue refunds if you can not be located due to a name change.
Ensure that all your information is up to date and accurate.
When you transferring rays for your Ceremony, ensure that the date of the ceremony, at least one name and the reason for the rays transfer are clearly marked. Failure to do so may result in delays and lost rays.

Name Changes:
Refrain from name changes during the process as we are unable to alter user names once the intial application has been received and approved. Note: If you change your name before the ceremony the JoP will be unable to contact you, as he only has the original name on file. Furthermore, if the JoP can not find you due to a name change, there will be no refund. It is in your responsibility to make sure you can be contacted, found and that you inform all in your Ceremony involved of any potential change.

Cancellations:
Please cancel directly with the Universal JoP and over [email protected].
Please note that cancellations cant be taken back.

Refunds / Postponements / Changes:

Postponements can be only considered until latest 24 hours prior to your Ceremony.
Please inform yourself about the regulations of any Universal JoP regarding refunds or postponements.
You can find those info on each Universal's JoP social center page.
Please note that you cannot schedule to an earlier date the last 3 days prior to your Ceremony. You can only change to a later time as all venue approvals take some time.

Please inform the Events Office by emailing [email protected] about all changes and please inform your JoP as well. Please also note that with every change all has to be approved new.

No more changes are possible the last 48 hours prior to your Ceremony!

Booking of venues:
It is in your responsibility to contact the venue of your choice to book the venue for your Wedding. Please note that certain venues are privately licensed and permission must be sought from the Primary Licensee before an event can be held. This may delay the time in arranging your event. The venue may also be subject to a fee per use for all events. This fee will determined by the individual Licensee(s) of that venue. Venues such as Blus, Fever and the Hotel etc. are public and are not subject to any fees for use of the venue.

The venue licensee is responsible to set up your Ceremony into the events calendar and to approve it there. Utherverse venues will be set into the calendar by your JoP.

As soon as all eventually fees have been transferred to the venue and your venue is approved, your Ceremony will show in the calendar. Please note that the JoPs will only go to approved venues.
Please make sure the venue will set and approve your event in the calendar after all is arranged.

Further information how to set up an event can be found here:

http://www.utherverse.net/EventsTeam/HowToSetupEvents.html

If you select the venue that you license, your venue will be automatically approved; however this will not confirm your place on the calendar. If you request a venue that is licensed to someone else, an email will be sent to the venue licensee to approve or reject your application. You will receive an email when the venue licensee replies to your request.

It is still your responsibility to contact the venue licensee and inquire about venue availability for the times you wish to host your event. The venue licensee may or may not charge a fee to host your event. All privately licensed venues are clearly marked on their exterior with a sign. All Utherverse public venues are free to use on a first come first served basis.
