Booking Conditions

Please take the time to read and understand the conditions of booking a trip with Full Spectrum Retreats.

 

Deposits

A deposit of $500 is required for your booking to be confirmed. $500 per person non refundable. If your booking is made within 30 days of the retreat start date, then the full amount is payable at the time of booking which includes your non-refundable deposit.

 

Payments

Retreat payments, costs and deadlines differ depending on the location of the retreat and whether it is international, in the United States or local (PNW.) Please refer to the specific retreat info page on this website for more information regarding payments, pricing and due dates.

​

Payment of the balance of the trip is due 90 days prior to the retreat start date unless otherwise noted. If the balance is not paid on or before the due date we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled.

​

All retreat prices are quoted and payable in USD.

Full Spectrum Retreats is not responsible for any fees incurred due to currency exchange or fees charged by your credit card/bank for processing funds in another currency.

 

Passport And Visa

You must carry a valid passport and have obtained all of the appropriate visas, permits and certificates for the countries in which you will visit during your trip. Your passport must be valid for 6 months beyond the duration of the trip. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of the correct visas, permits and certificates for your trip. Full Spectrum Retreats is not responsible if you are refused entry to a country because you lack the correct passport, visa or other travel documentation.

 

Airfare

All Full Spectrum Retreats do not include national or international airfare. We strongly recommend you wait until the trip is confirmed to run before booking airfare or making any non-refundable travel arrangements.

 

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is recommended for all travelers, and if purchased, should be taken out at the time of booking. Your travel insurance should provide cover against personal accident, death, medical expenses and emergency repatriation with all recommended minimum coverage of $200,000 USD. It is strongly recommended it cover cancellation, curtailment, and all other expenses that might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay, illness preventing your trip or inconvenience. AAA has a great travel insurance option. (We are in no way affiliated with AAA.)

 

Right To Refuse Service

Full Spectrum Retreats and the retreat organizers reserve the right to accept, decline, or retain any person as a participant at the Retreat at any time without liability and without any obligation to pay a refund or any other amount whatsoever. The Retreat Organizers take no responsibility or liability for any participant who leaves the Retreat prior to its conclusion or for any activity undertaken by any participant that is not included on the Schedule of Events or other itinerary.

 

Cancellation Due To Retreat Booking Numbers

Full Spectrum Retreats reserves the right to cancel any retreat prior to departure 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. You will not be entitled to claim any additional amounts or seek any compensation for any injury, loss, expenses or damage (either direct or consequential) or for any loss of time or inconvenience which may result from such cancellation (including but not limited to visa and passport fees and expenses, flights, flight cancellation and reservation fees, and vaccination costs). Again Full Spectrum Retreats recommends that you purchase travel insurance.

 

Changes

Full Spectrum Retreats reserves the right to make changes to any aspect of the retreat if, in the absolute discretion of Full Spectrum Retreats, it is necessary to do so due to conditions that may be hazardous or dangerous or due to any other adverse or threatening conditions such as weather, political, military, terrorist, pandemic or otherwise or for any other reason considered necessary by Full Spectrum Retreats.

If the designated trip leader is unable to lead the trip for any reason, Full Spectrum Retreats, in its discretion, will enlist another teacher of substantially similar qualifications to lead the retreat. In the event of any change, postponement, cancellation, or delay, you acknowledge that you will have no right of refund of the retreat price in whole or in part and no right to claim compensation for any injury, loss or damage or other additional expenses incurred by virtue of the change, modification, cancellation, postponement or delay.

 

Cancellations By Participant

If you, as a retreat participator has to cancel a retreat for any reason, including but not limited to bad weather, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, flight delays or cancellations, illness, health conditions, medical or personal or family or work emergencies or change of mind, the policy is as follows:

• $500 deposit will not be refunded.

• If you cancel more than 365 days in advance of retreat start date, a full refund, minus non-refundable deposit will be given.

• If you cancel more than 120 days of the retreat start date, a 50% refund minus non-refundable deposit will be given. You are welcome to transfer your ticket with prior approval to a guest of your finding prior and up to 120 days before the event. They will be required to cover their own ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT of $500 for ticket transfer to cover fees, processing and any transfers or secondary purchases of products, goodies, gifts and supplies that are individually sized and/or purchased, made or organized by Full Spectrum Retreats.

• If you cancel within 120- 90 days of the retreat a 25% refund will be given minus deposit.

• If you cancel 90 days or less of the retreat start date, no refund will be given. 

If the participant has to leave prior to its conclusion, refunds will not be made for the unused portion of the trip. No refunds will be made for any excursion, meal, yoga class or workshop or other activity that the participant misses or decides not to participate in for any reason.

​

It is always recommended that travel/trip insurance be purchased as many of these policies reimburse you in the event of a retreat cancellation either by self or organizer. This has nothing to do with Full Spectrum Retrears. It can be purchased via WeTravel and partners or through an organization like AAA.

 

Cancellation By Full Spectrum Retreats

Full Spectrum Retreats also reserves, in its absolute discretion, the right to cancel any retreat due to any material change in any government travel warning or advisory. In this event, we will do all we can to transfer any payments you may have made to a future retreat with Full Spectrum Retreats.

 

Force Majeure

If Full Spectrum Retreats and the trip leader are prevented from performing any of their obligations under this Agreement by acts of God, strikes, trade disputes, fire, weather, breakdowns, interruption of transport, government or political action, acts of war or terrorism, acts or omissions of a third party or for any other cause whatsoever outside Full Spectrum Retreats and the trip leader’s reasonable control, Full Spectrum Retreats and the trip leader will be under no liability whatsoever to you and may either cancel or postpone the retreat.
