TERMS OF SERVICE - CBD Yoga Retreats
Tulum June 2019

​

This page will answer your questions regarding CBD Yoga Retreats (henceforth referred to as “CYR”) terms of service. It is your responsibility to fully understand the terms and conditions for each of our retreats set out at cbdyogaretreats.com (henceforth referred to as “the website”). Should you have questions regarding the terms and conditions of CYR, we are available for consultation and would be happy to clarify any areas in advance of signing a contract with us.

​

PAYMENT TERMS & CANCELLATIONS

​

1. Retreat Pricing

​

All prices are per person and are set well in advance of the retreat start date. Prices vary depending on a variety of cost factors, with peak travel times being the most expensive. You can always find pricing on the website. Prices include retreat costs only; they do not include airfare to and from the retreat and ground transportation (unless noted on the website). Resort gratuities are never included in retreat price.  CBD Yoga Retreats believes in fair pricing for all retreat attendees – all prices are set and non-negotiable. If you purchased your retreat spot with an Early Bird Price, that price is only available for a limited time.

​

2. Deposit & Payment Terms

​

At this time there is no Deposit or payment plan options, but if you are in a very tight spot financially, email gabbcohen@gmail.com and she can go over potential options.  At two months prior to the Retreat Start Date (April 13, 2019), the retreat must be paid in FULL.  If you book within two months of the Retreat Start Date, it is required that the retreat be paid in full.

​

3. Retreat Payment

​

Payment can be made by credit card via the website. CYR will charge the retreat price in full unless otherwise communicated with Gab Cohen. If full payment is not received by two months prior to Retreat Start Date, we reserve the right to cancel your reservation and fill your spot. We will make every effort to avoid this situation by contacting you prior to and on the day of the balance due date.

​

4. Payment Changes

​

If it is necessary to make changes to previously submitted payment types, please contact CYR at (856) 796- 2661 or gabbcohen@gmail.com Please provide your name, specify the CYR Retreat in question, and the best way to contact you (phone or email). Do not submit credit card information over email or phone.

 

5. Strict Cancellation Policy

​

If you wish to cancel your retreat you must notify CYR in writing by contacting gabbcohen@gmail.com  Your cancellation fee will be determined according to the terms outlined in this document.  Exceptions to our cancellation policy cannot be made for ANY reason, including weather, terrorism, civil unrest, Zika virus, health changes, personal emergencies or otherwise. There is no refund for arriving late or leaving a trip early.

 

TRIP INSURANCE & DOCUMENTS

​

6. Trip Insurance

​

Guests are required to purchase individual trip insurance for international retreats. Residents from outside the U.S. must check within your country for insurance coverage. CYR recognizes deposits as officially being received on the date we green-light a retreat. Allianze Trip Insurance is a reliable and affordable way to add insurance to your trip.  This is great for medical insurance and accidental. Your deposit and any payments made within two months of the retreat start date are non-refundable. Basic trip insurance will protect you for the full amount paid due to cancellation reasons covered by the policy, such as severe weather or illness. Should you need to cancel for any reason not covered by the policy (family or work commitments, pre-existing medical conditions, pregnancy, etc.), a “Cancel for Any Reason” add-on will reimburse you for a percentage of the prepaid, forfeited, non-refundable payments or deposits. This includes your airfare, deposit and any additional payments, if applicable.

CBD Yoga Retreats will not be held responsible for any delay, additional expense or inconvenience that may be caused directly or indirectly by events outside of our control (ie: late arrival/departure of flights, civil disturbance, fire, flood, cyclones, severe weather, acts of God, and acts of government, machinery or equipment failure, or cancellations for any reason.) No refunds will be given for “no shows” or days not used resulting from the above aforementioned.

​

7. Travel Documents and Immunizations

​

It is the responsibility of each traveler to obtain all required travel documents including Visas unless otherwise noted. It is priority to be sure that the travelers passport is valid, and up to date. A visa is not necessary unless the duration of travel is longer than thirty days. Information regarding necessary documentation is provided as necessary on our website or you can contact us for more detailed information. It is your responsibility to purchase correct immunizations. Please contact your nearest travel clinic for the latest requirements.

 

ROOMMATES

​

8. Roommate Assignments

Retreat Rates are per person. Double, triple, quad, bunk or otherwise advertised shared rooms require shared occupancy for the specified room rate. CBD Yoga Retreats Tulum 2019 Edition is Dorm shared rooms only. If you book and wish to share a bed with your friend or partner, please email gabbcohen@gmail.com with that information before and after you purchase your retreat spot.
