TERMS AND CONDITIONS
THE CONTRACT
This contract is made on the terms of these Booking Conditions, which are governed by English law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
YOUR CONTRACT IS WITH ‘Lifesong’ and ‘Zenspace Yoga.’
All the retreats advertised or promoted are sold subject to the following conditions.
Your booking is considered definite and a contract will exist between you and lifesong.co.uk and Zenspace Yoga only when the non-refundable deposit has been received (or, in the case of bookings made less than 30 days when full payment is required at time of booking) and a confirmation email is sent to you. No contract will exist prior to our issuing the confirmation email. If the balance of the price of your retreat is not paid on time, we reserve the right to cancel your retreat, and retain your deposit and any other money paid.
PAYMENTS
Once the deposit has been made, final balances are due 90 days before the retreat date. If final payments are not received before 90 days of the retreat, Lifesong and Zenspace Yoga reserve the right to cancel your reservation and accept new reservations to take your space. Please let us know if you are unable to pay on time.
CANCELLATION BY YOU
If you cancel your retreat , you must do this in writing. . Cancellation will take effect the day such notification is received by Lifesong and Zenspace Yoga. As cancellation incurs administrative cost we will retain your non-refundable deposit and any other bank/transfer charges. If cancellation takes place more than 90 days prior to the date of the retreat any payment made will be refunded minus your deposit and any bank/transfer charges. If cancellation takes place between 45-90 days prior to the date of the retreat, 50% of the retreat price will be kept. If cancellation takes place less than 45 days prior to the date of the retreat 100% of the retreat price will be kept.
If you fail to pay your deposit or balance by the due dates, then your holiday will be automatically cancelled, and no funds will be returned. We will not be held liable for any expenses incurred by you for a retreat cancelled for any reason.
Once your retreat has commenced, there will be no refund or part refund of your retreat in the event of cancellation by you.
NB: If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy you may be able to reclaim these charges.
INSURANCE & HEALTH
IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED THAT YOU HAVE FULL TRAVEL INSURANCE TO COVER YOUR TRIP.
Please check with your own doctor that you are adequately fit and that any medication you may be taking does not prevent you from full participation. All our teachers have suitable insurance to cover them for the yoga classes / workshops they lead.
AMENDMENTS BY YOU
If, after your deposit payment has been credited to our account, you wish to change any part of your retreat arrangements, we will do our utmost to make the changes, if notification is received in writing by email to sarah@lifesong.co.uk and https://zenspaceyoga.co.uk/zenspace-contact/ from the person who made the booking, at least 30 days prior retreat date.
AMENDMENTS BY US
It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your retreat, as we do plan the arrangements many months in advance. However, occasionally changes may have to be made (e.g. to itineraries, accommodation, teacher or other ‘Lifesong’ and ‘Zenspace Yoga’ representative or other arrangements), which we reserve the right to do at any time. Changes are normally minor, and we will advise you as soon as possible. If your accommodation should be changed, we will do our utmost to provide accommodation of a similar rating. Compensation will not be paid if forced to cancel or in any way change your retreat due to unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control such as war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, epidemics and pandemics, fire, adverse weather conditions (including snow and volcanic ash), technical or maintenance problems with transport, or other circumstances which amount to force majeure.
PLEASE NOTE that we may need a minimum of people to run a retreat. DO NOT book your flight until confirmation has been sent out to you by email.
CANCELLATION BY US
We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your retreat, in which case we will offer a refund in full of all monies paid.
