TERMS OF SERVICE

It is your responsibility to fully understand the terms and conditions for the retreat. Please read carefully what is and is not included in your retreat package and view on the website. Should you have questions regarding the terms and conditions, we are available for consultation and would be happy to clarify any areas in advance of signing a contract with us.

PAYMENT TERMS & CANCELLATIONS

1. RETREAT PRICING

All prices are per person and are set well in advance of the retreat start date. Prices include retreat costs only; they do not include travel costs to and from the retreat.

2. RETREAT PAYMENT & DEPOSIT

Payment can be made by credit card via the website or direct bank transfer. If a non-refundable deposit is made, the remaining balance will be due no later than 6 weeks prior to the retreat start date. Participants will receive a reminder email one week prior to the due date. If full payment is not received by this deadline, we reserve the right to cancel your reservation and fill your spot. We will make every effort to avoid this situation by contacting you prior to and on the day of the balance due date.

3. STRICT CANCELLATION POLICY

If you wish to cancel your retreat you must notify Nici Harrison (“The Host”) via email at nici@thegriefspace.com. There are no refunds on deposits. There are also no refunds paid after the payment deadline mentioned in section 2 above. Exceptions to our cancellation policy cannot be made for any reason, including weather, terrorism, civil unrest, health changes, personal emergencies or otherwise. There is no refund for arriving late or leaving a trip early.

4. TRANSFER POLICY

Reservations cannot be transferred from one retreat to another.

5. RETREAT CANCELLATIONS

The Host reserves the right to make any changes deemed necessary; including, but not limited to: advertised excursions, arranged transportation, advertised meals, etc. In the rare case of a Retreat cancellation, The Host will offer a transfer to another retreat (if possible) or a full refund of your payment. The Host is not responsible for any expenses or damages incurred as a result of retreat cancellation including preparation costs, airline tickets, travel documents or other expenses. The Host 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 The Host. You will not be entitled to claim any additional amounts or seek any compensation for any injury, loss, expenses or damages (either direct or consequential) or for any loss of time or inconvenience which may result from such cancellation (including but not limited to visa, passport and vaccination charges, or departure, gear purchases, airport and airline taxes).

6. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

For retreats held outside the United Kingdom, all British passport holders are required to have at least 6 months validity on their passport at time of travel.  Information regarding necessary documentation is provided as necessary on our website or you can contact us for more detailed information.

SHARED ROOM

7. SHARED ROOM ASSIGNMENTS

Retreat rates are per person. Double or otherwise advertised shared rooms require shared occupancy for the specified room rate. If you book a shared room without specified roommate(s), we will do our very best to match you with your desired room type and price point. In the event we can’t find you a roommate for your first pick, we will present you with different rooming options.
