Section 3. Health and Fitness Requirements
You must be in good physical and mental health to participate in the retreat. You are advised to consult with a physician to ensure that you are in adequate health to safely participate in the retreat. Our retreats may take place in remote areas where there is little or no access to normal medical services or hospital facilities for serious problems. Medical and evacuation expenses will be your responsibility, so Company strongly encourages you to purchase travel insurance. Additionally, Company and the retreat leader reserve the right in their absolute discretion to refuse a participant
Section 4. Cancellation Due to Retreat Booking Numbers
Company reserves the right to cancel any retreat prior to departure in the event that there are too few people booked in which case you will be given a full refund of any and all payments made to Company including the deposit. You will not be entitled to claim any additional amounts or seek any compensation for any injury, loss, expenses or damage (either direct or consequential) or for any loss of time or inconvenience which may result from such cancellation (including but not limited to visa and passport fees and expenses, flights, flight cancellation and reservation fees, and vaccination costs). Company recommends that you purchase travel insurance.
Section 5. Changes, Postponement, Cancellation or Delay
Company reserves the right to make changes to any aspect of the retreat if, in the absolute discretion of Company, it is necessary to do so due to conditions that may be hazardous or dangerous or due to any other adverse or threatening conditions such as weather, political, military, terrorist or otherwise or for any other reason considered necessary by Company. If the designated trip leader is unable to lead the trip for any reason, Company, in its discretion, will enlist another teacher of substantially similar qualifications to lead the retreat. In the event of any change, postponement, cancellation, or delay, you acknowledge that you will have no right of refund of the retreat price in whole or in part and no right to claim compensation for any injury, loss or damage or other additional expenses incurred by virtue of the change, modification, cancellation, postponement or delay. Company also reserves, in its absolute discretion, the right to cancel any retreat due to any material change in any government travel warning or advisory. In this event, we will do all we can to transfer any payments you may have made to a future retreat with Company.
