Retreat and Event Policy

BOOKING CONDITIONS
Please take the time to read and understand the conditions of booking a trip with Stable Life Therapy.
DEPOSITS
A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required for your booking to be confirmed. 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
50% of the total amount is due at least 90 days before the start of the retreat date.
Payment of the balance of the trip is due 45 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 canceled.
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. Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy is not responsible if you are refused entry to a country because you lack the correct passport, visa or other travel documentation.
AIRFARE
All Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy Retreats do not include national or international airfare. We strongly recommend you wait until the trip is confirmed before booking airfare or making any non-refundable travel arrangements.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
Travel insurance is recommended for all travellers, 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. I strongly recommend it cover cancellation, curtailment, and all other expenses that might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay, pandemic or illness preventing your trip or inconvenience.
RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE
Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy 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 before its conclusion or for any activity undertaken by any participant that is not included on the Schedule of Events or other itinerary.
CANCELLATIONS DUE TO RETREAT BOOKING REGISTRATIONS
Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy reserves the right to cancel any retreat before departure if there are too few people booked, in which case you will be given a full refund of any payments made beyond the non-refundable $500 deposit. 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 Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy recommend that you purchase travel insurance.
CHANGES
Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy reserves the right to make changes to any aspect of the retreat if, in the absolute discretion of Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy, it is necessary to do so due to conditions that may be hazardous or due to any other adverse or threatening conditions such as weather, political, military, terrorist or otherwise or for any other reason considered necessary by Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy.
If the designated trip leader is unable to lead the trip for any reason, Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy, 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 the change, modification, cancellation, postponement or delay.
CANCELLATIONS BY PARTICIPANT
If you as a retreat participator have 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 90 days in advance of the retreat start date, a full refund, minus a non-refundable deposit will be given.
— If you cancel within 60 days of the retreat start date, a 50% refund minus a non-refundable deposit will be given.
— If you cancel within 30 days or less of the retreat start date, no refund will be given.
If the participant has to leave before 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, workshop or other activity that the participant misses or decides not to participate in for any reason.
CANCELLATION BY DENICE MUZZATTI AND STABLE LIFE THERAPY
Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy 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 Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy.
FORCE MAJEURE
If Denice Muzzatti, Stable Life Therapy, and Retreat Leaders 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 Denice Muzzatti and Stable Life Therapy and the Trip Leader’s reasonable control, Denice Muzzatti, Stable Life Therapy, and the Trip Leader will be under no liability whatsoever to you and may either cancel or postpone the retreat.
