Changes and cancellations by you

If you wish to make any changes to your arrangements after they have been confirmed, including if you wish to cancel all or some of them, you must inform us in writing as soon as possible. Your notice requesting a change or cancellation will only take effect when it is received in writing by us at our offices and will be effective from the date on which we receive it. We can’t guarantee that changes can be met, although we will do our best to assist. We may incur charges for empty rooms or last minute cancellations and so we are only covering our own costs by charging you cancellation fees. We will try to reschedule and fill the place to avoid charges but this is not always possible - especially short notice. In situations where we are unable to assist with making a requested change, and you do not wish to proceed with the original booking we will treat this as a cancellation by you.

You may cancel any package arrangements prior to their commencement (following the process outlined above) in the event that i) circumstances amounting to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (as set out in clause 9) are occurring at the place where your arrangements are due to be performed or its immediate vicinity and; ii) if the performance of your arrangements will be significantly affected by those unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances. In this event, you will receive a refund without undue delay of any payments made but this the maximum extent of our liability and we regret we cannot meet any other expenses or losses you may incur as a result.

If your arrangements are a package and if any member of your party is prevented from travelling, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else (introduced by you and satisfying all the conditions applicable to the arrangements, including an agreement to these booking conditions) providing we are notified in writing not less than seven days before departure and you pay an amendment fee and meet all costs and charges incurred by us. Both you and the person to whom you would like to transfer your arrangements shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of any balance due and for any additional fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer. If you are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges as set out below will apply in order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services.

Charges in the event of a cancellation

In the event of a cancellation, you will have to pay the applicable cancellation charges up to the maximum shown below (The cancellation charge detailed is calculated on the basis of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges which are not refundable in the event of the person(s) to whom they apply cancelling):-

More than 56 days before the first day of your retreat – deposit only

More than 35 days before the first day of your retreat – 60% of the total cost of your holiday.

More than 21 days before the first day of your retreat – 80% of the total cost of your holiday.

21 days or less – 100% of the total cost of your holiday.

If cancellation of a party member results in under-occupancy of a room, those remaining must pay the appropriate empty bed charge.

Charges in the event of a change

In the event we can meet your requested change, you will have to pay £25 per alteration per person per change as well as any applicable rate changes or extra costs incurred as well as any costs incurred by ourselves.

Amendments include: changing number of guests (reduction or addition), a retreat location, retreat date change and guest details (this is not an exhaustive list and there may be other amendments which incur a £25 administration fee) and if the change is within the cancellation terms above.

For UK Retreats: Requests for amendments must be made at least 6 weeks before the start date of the retreat.
If we are unable to make alterations as you requested (for example due to other retreat being booked up, or we are unable to sell your space) and you do not wish to continue with the booking then our cancellation charges (above) apply.

Changes and cancellation by us

Where we refer to a ‘price reduction’ in this clause, we mean that we will give you an appropriate reduction in the price you paid for the arrangements affected for any period during which there was lack of conformity, (unless that lack of conformity is attributable to you). Where we refer to ‘compensation’, we will pay you appropriate compensation without undue delay for any damage which you sustain as a result of any lack of conformity subject to the limitations and exclusions in section B of clause 12.

Changes and cancellations before departure

Most changes will be insignificant and we reserve the right to make them. If we make an insignificant change to the main characteristics of any package arrangements we will try to notify the change to you as soon as reasonably possible before your departure but we will not notify you about any other insignificant change. Changes to the staff team do happen due to person circumstances and illness. Changes in the team will be classed as insignificant change to schedule.

Occasionally, we have to make a significant change and we reserve the right to do so. A significant change is one where we significantly alter any of the main characteristics of your confirmed arrangements, such as the venue. If we have to make a significant change or cancel before departure, we will inform you without undue delay and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options:-

Options on change or cancellation

i) (for significant changes) agreeing to the changed arrangements,
ii) accepting the cancellation or terminating the contract for the arrangements and receiving a refund (without undue delay) of all monies paid; or
iii) accepting an offer of alternative arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available.

(In the event that any proposed change or alternative offered results in a reduction or increase in the price you have agreed to pay or an increase or decrease in the quality of arrangements we have agreed to provide, we will also notify you of any price reduction or additional amount due).

You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our offer. If you fail to do so, we will contact you again, re-iterating the above choices and sums payable or refundable and if you again fail to respond within 7 days, we may terminate the contract and refund all payments made by you without undue delay.

12. The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so.
We will not pay you compensation where:-

i) we make a significant change or cancel before you have paid the final balance of the cost of your arrangements;
ii) we make a significant change or cancel as a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances as set out in clause 9;
iii) we cancel your arrangements no later than 20 days before they are due to start because the minimum number of participants to run them has not been reached.

We will not make a price reduction or pay you compensation, and the above options will not be available where:-

i) we make an insignificant change;
ii) we cancel as a result of any failure by you (including a failure to make payment in accordance with these terms);
iii) where the change(s) or cancellation by us arises out of alterations to the confirmed booking requested by you.

Changes and cancellations to package arrangements after departure

If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of your package arrangements after you have departed, we will try to offer you suitable alternative arrangements of, where possible, equivalent or higher quality than those specified in the contract. If the alternative arrangements we make are of a lower quality than those you originally booked, we will make a price reduction.

You may reject the proposed alternative arrangements only if they are not comparable to what we originally promised to provide or if the price reduction we offer is inadequate. Where we are unable to make suitable alternative arrangements or you reject the proposed alternative arrangements in accordance with this clause, where appropriate and only where your arrangements are a package, we will pay you compensation subject to section B of clause 12.

The above sets out the maximum extent of our liability for changes and cancellations and we regret we cannot meet any other expenses or losses you may incur as a result of any change or cancellation.

Our agreement

You will receive standard information about your package arrangements and details of their main characteristics before a binding agreement between you and us come into existence.

2. You can make changes to your confirmed arrangements in certain circumstances. We will make a charge for processing these changes;

Please check the details in your confirmation and let us know if anything does not seem right.

We can not be liable for booking errors which are attributable to you or which are caused by unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances as defined in clause 9.

Our agreement becomes binding when we issue a confirmation email and the first deposit invoice is paid. Please check all details on the confirmation (or any other document issued) immediately on receipt. It may not be possible to make changes to your arrangements later so you should notify us of any inaccuracies in any documentation within ten days of our sending it out.

Payment

You must make payment for your arrangements in timeframe that we require them.

Generally, we will require a minimum 30% deposit before we issue our confirmation. Balance payments are not due until 4 weeks prior to the event in the UK. We will confirm your particular payment terms on booking.

In the case of international payments, you must ensure that we receive the full GBP Sterling amount. You will be responsible for all bank charges, withholding taxes, and exchange rate fluctuations.

Insurance

It is a condition of our agreement that you are covered by adequate travel insurance for your arrangements. Such insurance as a minimum must cover your losses sustained as a result of a cancellation, medical issues, and repatriation in the event of accident or illness. Details of a policy suitable to cover your arrangements are available by contacting a variety of travel insurers. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any of your losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.

Special requests

Special requests relating to your arrangements must be advised to us at the time of booking and confirmed to us in writing. Whilst we will try to meet or arrange your reasonable special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled.

We will only provide precise information on the suitability of the trip or holiday taking into account your needs if you specifically request us to do so.

The price

We reserve the right to amend the price of unsold holiday arrangements at any time and correct errors in the prices of confirmed arrangements.
