Terms & Conditions

Booking ….

 

When making a booking with us, each individual accepts the following booking conditions.

 

On receipt of your deposit your place on our retreat is confirmed. You will then be contacted by us to accept your booking with instructions of the final payment stages being confirmed.  Your place on the retreat is not confirmed until the deposit in total has been received. Your second payment must be paid 12 weeks before the retreat date and final payment must be paid 6 weeks before the retreat date.  If the final two payments for the retreat are not paid in the correct time, we do reserve the right to cancel your booking and retain your deposit and/or any monies paid.

 

If booking your space 6 weeks before the retreat date then payment would need to be paid in full.

 

Should the need to cancel the booking arise, whilst being sympathetic to you cancelling, all deposits are non-refundable. 

 

We reserve the right to increase the price of the retreat before you submit your booking.

 

Excursions and treatments booked locally by you are not our responsibility and are at your own risk and cost.

 

It is strongly advised that you take out your own travel insurance for the duration of the retreat to cover you in the event of needing to cancel your space on the retreat last minute.

 

In the event that either party cancels the retreat, there will be no refund or compensations from us for flight costs, transfers, travel and other associated costs.

 

We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel the retreat, in which case we will offer a full refund of all monies paid unless the reason for the cancellation is force majeure.

 

Compensation will not be paid if we are forced to cancel or in any way change the retreat due to war, threat of war, invasion, riot, civil war, strike, rebellion, revolution, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, infectious disease/epidemic, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, technical or maintenance problems with transport, or other circumstances which amount to force majeure.

 

It is not possible at any stage to transfer your booking to another retreat or service.

Cancellation 6 weeks before due arrival date, 0% refund.

Cancellation more than 12 weeks before due arrival date, 100% refund minus the deposit and £100 cancellation/administration fee.
