Reservation and Cancellation Policy
We will try to accommodate your special needs, but in general this is our policy.
Reservations and Payments
A deposit of 50% of the event price per person is required to secure your reservation. To secure reservations for a workshop, wellness retreat or yoga teacher training that begins within 30 days, a full payment is required by credit card at the time of booking.
1) Full payment is due 30 days prior to the start date of the program when you pay a 50% deposit, and 45 days prior to the start date when you pay a 14% deposit.
2) If you sign up for a program less than 30-days away, full payment is due at sign up.
3) If you choose to leave the program at any time, you agree to zero refund. All charges are final and non- refundable after arriving at and starting the program at the School and Retreat Center.
Final payment for all programs must be received in full by Zen Den Yoga School and Quantum Leap Retreats at least 30 days prior to the start of the program, unless otherwise stated. Reservations may be canceled if final payment is not received by the due date and cancellation charges will apply. Departure taxes, port charges, surcharges, and government fees are not part of the tour price and will be billed as a separate item on your invoice. Changes in plans: changes in your plans that affect departure city, cabin categories and/or passport name changes may incur a per person administrative charge or possibly a cancellation charge. All changes are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. Every effort has been made to produce pricing information accurately. We reserve the right to correct errors.
Single Travelers
Roommate matching: if you are on a program where sharing is possible and you would like to share a twin-bedded room with another single traveler of the same gender, we will do our best to match you with a roommate. Otherwise, a single supplemental fee may apply. In the case of a guest snoring, we do require the "snorer" take an upgrade to a private room where a supplemental fee applies. Everyone's peace of mind, rest and relaxation is important to us.
Cancellations and Refunds*
(*If you must change your retreat, workshop or YTT due to a major medical reason, agreed to by us in writing - we allow for rescheduling without transfer fee for up to 9 months from your original arrival date.)
If you must cancel your participation in a program, you must do so in writing. Cancellation refunds will be calculated as of the date we receive your written cancellation request. Any applicable refunds will be processed 30 days after our receipt of your written cancellation. Processing fee: there is a non-refundable fee of $125 per person for each program you cancel. This fee reflects only our costs of administering a reservation and is not intended to be punitive in any way. We realize the majority of those who cancel their reservations do so out of necessity.
Cancellation charges: unless otherwise stated in the trip description, for all cancellations we will refund the cost of your booking minus the following per person charges. Charges shown include the $125 administrative fee:
Prior to departure: Charge
91 days or more: $125
90-61 days: $350
60-30 days: 50% of selling price
29-0 days: 100% of selling price
Traveler substitutions are encouraged if you must cancel your trip and may be subject to the above cancellation charges. Please note that we do not make any refunds for any unused portion of your trip. We encourage you to purchase travel insurance to protect your travel investment.
If it is possible for you to reschedule your trip we encourage you to do so, and we will gladly make space for you as long as we have availability for an added supplemental transfer fee 30% of the cost of your original booking. We allow rescheduling up to 9 months maximum from your original arrival date agreed to by us in writing.
Passports and Visas
A valid passport is required for U.S. citizens traveling on our international programs. You will be notified if your destination requires a visa for U.S. citizens. Non-U.S. citizens should contact the appropriate consular office for entry requirements pertaining to their trip, as Zen Den Yoga School and Quantum Leap Retreats are not responsible for providing you with this information or documentation.
Medical Issues
You must advise us in writing, at or prior to booking, of any physical, emotional or mental condition(s) which may require professional attention during the trip or may require the use of special equipment, including allergies. If you fail to disclose any such conditions, Zen Den Yoga School and Quantum Leap Retreats may refuse to allow you to take the trip and you will forfeit the trip cost; and in such event we shall have no liability, financial or otherwise.
If you are so challenged, you must bring and be responsible for all necessary items related to your condition. If any such condition arises after the trip is booked, you must advise us in writing immediately. Failure to advise us shall release Zen Den Yoga School and Quantum Leap Retreats, and all professional personnel from any liability related to such condition or its treatment. Zen Den Yoga School and Quantum Leap Retreats are not responsible for the costs of any medical treatment you may require during the trip. Under no circumstances are Zen Den Yoga School and Quantum Leap Retreats responsible for the quality of medical care, or lack thereof, you may receive while on the trip. Zen Den Yoga School and Quantum Leap Retreats reserves the right to change this policy.
Travel Insurance
We recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your retreat investment.
Waiver of Liability
Release: Awareness is fundamental to the practice of yoga, and I am fully aware that some of the yoga poses may be difficult for me and that it is my responsibility to monitor each activity and determine whether it is appropriate for me to participate. I acknowledge that it is also my responsibility to consult with a physician regarding any injury or condition that may affect my participation in any yoga classes or workshops. I agree not to hold Zen Den Yoga School, Quantum Leap Retreats or any of its affiliates liable for any injury or damages related to my participation in class, workshop, training, retreat or other activity. I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks or injuries, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in these classes or workshops or other activities.
By participating in any of our programs, you are agreeing to the terms above.
Zen Den Yoga School and Quantum Leap Retreats reserves the right to change this agreement.
