TERMS OF SERVICE
It is your responsibility to fully understand the terms and conditions for the retreat. Please read carefully what is and is not included in your retreat package and view all encompassing on the website. Should you have questions regarding the terms and conditions, 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 in advance of the retreat start date. Prices include retreat costs only; they do not include travel costs to and from the retreat.
2. Retreat Payment & Deposit
Due to the short booking window for this Deep Rest Autumn retreat (09 - 12.10.25), reservations can only be confirmed with full payment. Payment is accepted by bank transfer.
All payments are strictly non-refundable. If full payment is not received within the timeframe communicated by The Host (generally within five (5) business days of receiving payment instructions), The Host reserves the right to cancel your reservation and fill your spot. Every effort will be made to avoid this situation by contacting you prior to cancellation.
3. Strict Cancellation Policy
Once payment is made, no refunds will be issued under any circumstances. If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your reservation to another individual (e.g. a friend) by notifying Habiba Jaziri (“The Host”) in writing via email at info@hej-elements.com. Such transfer is subject to written approval by The Host and must be arranged prior to the retreat start date.
Exceptions to this cancellation policy cannot be made for any reason, including but not limited to: illness, weather, natural disaster, terrorism, civil unrest, personal emergencies, or other unforeseen events. There is no refund for late arrival or early departure.
We strongly recommend that all participants obtain comprehensive travel insurance (including trip cancellation, health, and medical evacuation coverage) to protect against unforeseen circumstances.
4. Transfer Policy
Reservations cannot be transferred to another retreat. They may only be transferred to another individual for the same retreat, subject to prior written approval by The Host.
5. Retreat Cancellations by The Host
The Host reserves the right to make any changes deemed necessary, including but not limited to: advertised excursions, arranged transportation, or meals.
In the rare case that The Host cancels the retreat:
Participants will be offered either a transfer to another retreat (if available) or a full refund of payments made to The Host.
The Host is not responsible for any additional expenses or damages incurred as a result of the cancellation, including but not limited to: airfare, travel documents, visa costs, vaccinations, or other travel-related expenses.
The Host reserves the right to cancel a retreat prior to departure in the event of insufficient enrollment. In such case, a full refund of all payments made to The Host will be issued. No further compensation will be provided.
6. Travel Documents
Participants are solely responsible for securing and carrying valid travel documents. For EU nationals, a valid passport or national identity card is required for travel within EU/Schengen countries. Non-EU family members or participants from outside the EU must ensure compliance with applicable travel rules and entry requirements.
ROOMMATES
7. Roommate Assignments
Retreat rates are per person. Shared rooms require shared occupancy for the advertised rate. If you book a shared room without a specified roommate, The Host will make every effort to assign you one. Should a roommate not be available, you will be required to assume the single occupancy rate.
