6. 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 but not limited to preparation costs, airline tickets, travel documents or other expenses. The Host reserves the right to cancel any retreat 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).
8. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
For retreats held outside the U.S., all passport holders are required to have at least 6 months of validity on their passport at the time of travel. Information regarding necessary documentation is provided as necessary on our website or you can contact us for more detailed information.
9. ROOMMATE ASSIGNMENTS
Retreat rates are based on room occupancy. A "2 occupant" or otherwise advertised shared rooms require both guests to share the room (usually a single queen or king bed) for the specified room rate. If you book a shared room you are required to confirm your roommate within 30 days of booking to qualify for the stated room rate and ensure both occupants have access to the retreat. In the event that a roommate is not confirmed (with their proof of payment if paying separately), you will be required to pay the difference between the shared (2 occupants) and single (1 occupant) room rate to avoid termination of your reservation WITHOUT refund. This means that if there is no roommate, you will have to pay the full room cost of a "1 occupant" room.
