Cancellation, Refund, and Payment Policies
By submitting this registration form, I acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions:
Refund Policy
I understand that retreat planning requires substantial non-recoverable expenses and advance commitments. While the organizer strives to be as accommodating as possible, the following refund policy applies if I cancel my registration.
More than 6 months before the retreat start date:
If I cancel my registration more than six (6) months before the retreat start date, I may receive a refund of 80% of the total retreat fee. A 20% cancellation fee will be retained to cover administrative and processing costs.
Between 3 and 6 months before the retreat start date:
If I cancel my registration between three (3) and six (6) months before the retreat start date, I may receive 50% of the total retreat fee.
Less than 90 days before the retreat start date:
No refunds will be issued for cancellations made fewer than ninety (90) days before the retreat start date.
This refund policy applies for any reason, including but not limited to illness, injury, travel delays or cancellations, airline or air traffic control disruptions, government shutdowns, weather events, personal emergencies, changes in employment, or changes in personal or professional circumstances.
Registrations are non-transferable to another year.
Transfer to Another Participant
I understand that while my registration may not be transferred to another retreat year, I may request to transfer my registration to another individual. The organizer must approve any such transfer, and may be subject to administrative requirements or fees. The organizer reserves the right to decline transfer requests at their discretion.
Failure to Attend
If I am unable to attend the retreat for any reason, I understand that my registration will be forfeited and no refund or credit will be issued.
Early Departures
No refunds will be issued for early departures from the retreat for any reason.
Event Rescheduling or Cancellation by Organizer
If circumstances beyond the organizer’s control, including but not limited to inclement weather, natural disasters, government actions, technical issues, or venue-related issues, make it impossible or unsafe to hold the retreat on the scheduled dates, the organizer reserves the right to reschedule the retreat. In such cases, my registration will be applied to the rescheduled dates.
I understand that Laura Nance is not responsible for any additional expenses incurred, including but not limited to travel costs, lodging, meals, or lost income.
If the retreat is permanently cancelled by the organizer, Laura Nance, and no replacement dates are offered, refunds will be issued for payments made, less any non-recoverable processing fees.
Travel Insurance Recommendation
I acknowledge that this retreat requires substantial non-recoverable expenses to produce and that I am strongly encouraged to purchase travel insurance to protect my investment in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
Payment Deadlines and Forfeiture
If my initial payment is not received by the stated due date, a $50 late fee will be assessed, with additional late fees assessed every thirty (30) days thereafter until payment is received.
If my final payment is not received by the stated due date, I understand that my registration may be cancelled, my spot forfeited, and all payments already made will be retained by the organizer without refund.
