CANCELLATION POLICY

These policies are in place to ensure you, our customer, receive the highest level of service and quality instruction. As class sizes are limited, all cancellation / rescheduling deadlines will be strictly adhered to. All cancellations must be received via letter or email.

Verbal cancellations are not accepted. Cancelling a course close to commencement date affects everybody on the course. Cancelling or changing a course should be considered a last resort.

Payments

All customers are requested to confirm booking payments in full in advance of the event date. Full payment for courses ensures participant registration on the course selected. Participation may be denied to any Participant that has not completed full payment before the scheduled event and any refunds will be considered under the Cancellations Policy.

· All fees are non-refundable. Refunds are only available if a cancellation is actioned by The Provider due to unplanned or unforeseen circumstances. These programs are highly time intensive for our team and provide for very limited places. Once you have made a payment and it has been received you cannot ask for your money back under any circumstances. It is for this reason you are highly recommended to purchase appropriate travel insurance to cover you in case of an unforeseen need to cancel.

Cancellations

A company or individual may cancel a booking or by submitting a WRITTEN NOTICE via e-mail or letter.

· If you would like to request a change of date within 7 days before the scheduled starting date of the booking, a 100% cancellation fee will apply to any company or individual. A cancellation fee will be based on the full cost of the booking at time of purchase

No Shows

If a company or individual does not attend a booking and does not provide notice, the company or individual will incur a 100% “no-show” fee.

Course Late Arrivals
In the event of late attendance, bookings will begin at the scheduled time. Under no circumstances does an experience wait for a late Participant. Late Participants may not be allowed onto the booking or may miss it entirely.
