Terms and Conditions of Seminars and Retreats
(applicable if not stated otherwise – e.g. if the seminar is organised by an institution or by someone else –, my Email is on the Contacts page)
1. Booking and Payment*
The price for each Retreat is set out on the webpage for that Retreat. Booking is considered as definite if the deposit of 50% of the course fee has been paid at least 42 days before the start of the course. Payment into my bank account through personal email communication. The price is the exact amount to be received in full by me in EUR. The full fee needs to be paid 21 days before the start of the course. If the full fee is not paid by then it will be assumed that you wish to cancel your booking without refund of your original deposit.
2. Cancellation by participants*
You (or any member of your party) may cancel your booking at any time, providing that the cancellation is made by the person submitting the booking form and is notified to me in writing. Cancellation will take effect the day such notification is received by me. Cancellation up to 21 days ahead of the start of the course: Cancellation fee is 50% of the course fee.
Cancellation less than 21 days ahead of the start of the course: Cancellation fee equals course fee (no reimbursement of course fee paid). There are no refunds for an unused portion of the retreat. If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your Insurance Policy, you may be able to make a claim on your own insurance.
3. Your Travel Arrangements
All travel arrangements are your responsibility and at your own cost. I shall not be held liable for any consequences arising from delays or cancellations in any of the companies you may have made arrangements with, or for any irregularities in your documentation required for travel. Transfers to/from the retreat are at your own cost, unless otherwise specified.
4. Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is highly recommended. If you choose to buy insurance please ensure that your travel insurance covers the activities of this retreat as well as unexpected cancellation, sickness, losses and all other risks associated with traveling and taking part in the retreat. You should bring your own travel insurance policy with you in case of an emergency.
5. Your Health
It is your responsibility to let your host know if you have any injuries and to be mindful at all times of your own body’s capabilities during the retreat. If you experience any injury or discomfort during any activity during the retreat, then you must desist immediately. Whilst all measures are taken to ensure a high standard of health and safety, the retreat is situated in the countryside where the land is uneven and I shall not be responsible for any injuries caused by uneven terrain. I shall not be held responsible for any injuries sustained during eventual swims or other retreat activities.
6. Cancellation by me
I reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel a retreat. In particular our retreats require a minimum number of at least 75% of the participants to have booked by 21 days before the start date. If this minimum number is not reached by that date we may cancel and refund payment to you.
7. My liability to you
I accept responsibility for ensuring that the retreats are supplied as described and that the services I am contractually obliged to provide are to a reasonable standard.
I do not accept any liability for cancellations, delays or changes caused by war, threat of war, terrorist actions or threats, closure of airports, civil strife, industrial action, natural disaster, technical problems to transport, staff cancellations, unforeseen changes in your personal circumstances or other events beyond our control.
I am not liable for any injuries you may incur. Classes, outdoor sessions, the use of public transport or private cars in the course time, swims and other activities are undertaken at your own risk. I am not liable for any medical or psychiatric conditions, which may develop during or subsequent to the retreat. I am not liable for loss of, or damage to, your personal property.
8. Group Bookings
Where a booking is made on behalf of several individuals the booking is conditional on the person(s) paying having authorization from all the individuals named in the email to enter into this contract. The terms of this contract will apply to each member of the group as though they had paid for their own retreat individually and directly to me.
9. Complaints
If you have a problem during your retreat, please inform me immediately and I will endeavor to put things right. Please note that I cannot be held responsible for the individual behavior of any group member.
10. Privacy Policy
I do not share customer details with any 3rd parties. Any personal information that you provide to me will be used only for the service you requested. This privacy policy does not cover the links within this site linking to other sites.
* Not applicable if the seminar/ retreat is run on a gift basis (see seminar description).
