1. Booking
(a) Your booking is not considered definite until we receive full payment from you and you agree to these terms and conditions.
2. Payment
(a) The price is the exact amount to be received by us per person in AUD for both international and Australian purchasers.
(b) For Activations and Immersions, we require a $1250 AUD deposit in order to secure your space. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. There are no exceptions to this policy, for any reason. Please consider your circumstances well before placing your deposit. It is your responsibility to ensure you can attend the retreat before placing your deposit. Exchange rates are based on the standard rate the day transfer is made.
(c) Remainder payments are due four weeks prior to start date and are non-transferable and non-refundable. There are no exceptions to this policy, ever.

3. Your Travel Arrangements

Transfers to/from the Wellness Summit & Awards Dinner are at your own cost, unless otherwise specified.
4. Cancellation
(a) It is your responsibility to read and understand our cancellation policy before making a reservation. Naturally, no one books with the intention of cancelling, however unexpected things do happen that can be beyond your control. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel cancellation insurance to cover any possible loss.
(b) We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel the Summit. In particular our Summit require a minimum number of at least 75% of the participants to have booked by 60 days before the start date. If this minimum number is not reached by that date we may cancel and refund the money to you.
(c) 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 us in writing. Cancellation will take effect the day such notification is received by us.

For cancellation requests submitted within 45 days of Summit or Award Ceremony date, 50% of total amount (less deposit) will be refunded. Cancellation requests within 30 days of the Summit or Award Ceremony : no refunds given, no exceptions.
(e) Bookings are for the stated period of the Summit or Award Ceremony. There are no refunds for an unused portion of the Summit. If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your Insurance Policy, you may be able to make a claim on your insurance.
5. Travel/Cancellation Insurance
(a) Travel/cancellation insurance is highly recommended. If you choose to buy insurance we require that your travel insurance covers the activity of this Summit as well as unexpected cancellation, sickness, losses and all the usual risks. You should bring the policy with you in case of an emergency.
(b) We strongly recommend that you purchase travel cancellation insurance to cover any possible loss. Depending on the policy and conditions, travel cancellation insurance will pay for some or all cancellation fees. With most agencies, insurance must be purchased within 14 days of making your reservation.
6. Your Health
(a) It is your responsibility to let your Yoga and Activities Instructor know if you have any injuries and to be mindful at all times of your own body’s capability during the Summit. If you experience any injury or discomfort during any activity during the Summit, then you must desist immediately.

If you have health conditions and dietary requirements that may be affected by the activities offered during the Summit we reserve the right to advise you to desist in the interests of your wellbeing, or others.

7. Covid-19 / Force Majeure

We strongly recommend purchasing travel cancellation insurance.
