DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS

Payments Directly Through Coherence Retreats

For all our retreats, securing your booking requires a non-refundable deposit per person along with the submission of our online booking form. This deposit ensures your spot on the retreat and covers non-refundable essentials on your behalf, such as accommodation reservations.

Deposit and Full Payment Schedule: You can book a retreat with a deposit until 60 days before the retreat start date. After this point, full payment is required to confirm your booking, subject to availability.
Balance Payment: The remaining balance for your retreat is due 1 day before the retreat begins, unless stated otherwise. We will notify you of the balance due date once your deposit is processed.
Cancellation of Booking: If the final balance is not received by the due date, Coherence Retreats LLC reserves the right to cancel your booking and forfeit your deposit.
Deposit Transfer: Should your plans change, any payment made towards the retreat are transferable to another retreat within one calendar year, provided you notify us 60 days or more before your scheduled retreat start date.
Payment Methods: Deposits can be paid with all major credit cards.

Payment Plan through Affirm

12 or 36-Month Payment Plan: We offer a flexible payment plan through Affirm, allowing you to finance the full price of the retreat over 12 or 36 months without an upfront deposit. This plan divides the cost into manageable monthly payments.
Non-Refundable Payments: Payments made through Affirm are non-refundable. However, we offer the option to apply your payments as credit towards a future retreat in case of cancellation. For this credit, notification of cancellation is required at least 2 months before the retreat start date. After that it becomes non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
Third-Party Transactions: All financial arrangements under this plan are handled directly through Affirm, an independent third-party provider. We advise familiarizing yourself with Affirm's terms to ensure their services meet your expectations.

REFUND / CANCELLATION

We at Coherence Retreats LLC understand that life is unpredictable and sometimes unexpected events may interfere with your plans. In recognition of this, we have outlined our cancellation policy below, which prioritizes flexibility while respecting the logistical and financial commitments involved in planning our retreats.

Written Notice Required: Any cancellation request by a client must be submitted in writing (via email) and will only be considered valid once acknowledged by Coherence Retreats LLC in writing (via email).
Cancellation with Credit Option: Should you find yourself needing to cancel more than 60 days before your retreat start date, we offer the option to convert your payment into a credit. This credit can be applied to any other retreat we host within one calendar year from the original date of your booking. Please ensure you notify us of your decision to cancel and convert your payment into a credit at least 60 days before your scheduled retreat start date to be eligible for this option.
Non-Refundable Payments: It is important to note that all payments become non-refundable and non-exchangeable if the cancellation occurs less than 60 days before the retreat start date. This policy is in place to ensure the sustainability and quality of our retreats, as many costs are incurred in the planning and execution phases that cannot be recovered last minute.

We encourage our clients to carefully consider their plans and commitments before booking. Our team is dedicated to providing an enriching and transformative retreat experience and we are here to assist with any questions or concerns you may have regarding our cancellation policy.

BALANCE TRANSFER

Full and partial retreat payments can be transferred to another retreat taking place within one calendar year, if you notify us 60 days or more before the retreat start date.

There is a $100 deposit transfer fee associated with making this change, but avoids incurring the cancellation fee.

You may only transfer your retreat deposit one time.

PRICING

All retreat prices shown are per person and are quoted and payable in USD.

Coherence Retreats LLC 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.

Coherence Retreats LLC reserves the right to alter the prices of any of the travel arrangements shown on our website. You will be advised of the current price of the travel arrangement you wish to book before your contract is confirmed.

Unless stated otherwise, the price of your travel arrangement includes each and all of the component parts described within your booking confirmation invoice.

Not included in the price of your travel arrangement is flights, transport, travel insurance, excess baggage charges, tipping and any food or drink or additional excursions or activities which are not confirmed as being part of your retreat arrangements.

Additionally, any items or services purchased during a retreat are not included in the cost of your travel arrangement unless specifically stated.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS & SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

The Client must inform Coherence Retreats LLC on our registration form of any medical conditions, pregnancy, disability or any other mental and or physical condition which may affect fitness to travel, including medications you are currently taking. Failure to notify us may result in the Client being refused certain activities during the retreat at the Client’s own expense. Some retreats may be unsuitable for Clients due to age, mobility, disability, pregnancy or physical or mental conditions, please email if you have concerns.

It is absolutely vital that you are accurate with your fitness level and medical conditions for your own safety.

Coherence Retreats LLC will do its best to meet special requests including dietary or physical limitations but such requests may not always be possible depending on the retreat, in which case Coherence Retreats LLC reserves the right to refuse Clients with certain conditions.

Coherence Retreats LLC will do its best to meet Client’s special requests including dietary, but such requests do not form part of the Contract and therefore Coherence Retreats LLC is not liable for not providing these requests.

As a client, you MUST carry medical insurance. Medical facilities vary from country to country and Coherence Retreats LLC will do its absolute best to bring you to a proper medical facility as needed, but makes no representations and gives no warranties in relation to the standard of such treatment.

FINAL PAYMENTS

For all retreats, the payment of the FINAL balance of the retreat price is due 1 day prior to the retreat start date in the currency advertised, unless otherwise stated in a signed contract with the Client.

If a booking is made within less than 60 days, your deposit including full payment will be required at your initial sign up.

We break down payments into 3 standardly for most retreats.

If the final balance is not received by the due date and there is no concise reason as to why, Coherence Retreats LLC reserves the right to treat the Client’s booking as cancelled.

Please ensure Coherence Retreats LLC is on your contact list so our emails don’t go to your junk folder!

CANCELLATION OF A RETREAT BY COHERENCE RETREATS LLC

Coherence Retreats LLC reserves the right to cancel any retreat for any reason, but will not cancel a retreat less than 30 days before the retreat start date except for unusual or unforeseen circumstances outside Coherence Retreats LLC control. When a retreat is cancelled by Coherence Retreats LLC before the agreed date of departure for any reason other than the fault of the Client, the Client can either:

Transfer their deposit to another retreat taking place within one calendar year, or:

Receive a full refund of all monies paid under the contract as soon as possible.

Coherence Retreats LLC is not responsible for any incidental expenses or consequential losses that the Client may have incurred as a result of the booking such as visas, vaccinations, non-refundable flights or rail, non-refundable car parking or other fees, loss of earnings, or loss of enjoyment, etc. If the Client is offered a refund but requests an alternate retreat of a higher value than that originally booked, then the Client must pay the difference in price. Where after departure a significant element of the trip contracted for cannot be provided, Coherence Retreats LLC will make suitable alternative arrangements for the continuation of the trip. If it is not possible to provide a suitable alternative or the Client reasonably rejects any suitable alternatives, Coherence Retreats LLC will provide the Client a refund of unused tour portions. Where a significant alteration or cancellation occurs which is not due to Force Majeure or other circumstances beyond the Coherence Retreats LLC control, Coherence Retreats LLC will in some circumstances offer compensation. Significant alterations do not include the substitution of a transportation method, modification of itineraries, change in hotel accommodation or meal offering.

AIRFARE

All Coherence Retreats LLC retreats do not include national or international airfare. Coherence Retreats LLC strongly recommends you wait until the trip is confirmed to run before booking airfare or making any non-refundable travel arrangements.

It is strongly recommended the coverage be extended to include cancellation, curtailment, and all other expenses that might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience occurring to the Client during travel. Coherence Retreats LLC shall have no liability for loss, theft of or damage to baggage or personal effects. Personal belongings lost or stolen while unattended by the client in public lounges or other public areas, whether on board a train, bus, or other mode of transportation, publicly owned or operated by Coherence Retreats LLC or elsewhere, are not reimbursable. Coherence Retreats LLC cannot accept responsibility for and in no event shall be liable for loss or damage of valuables or other articles left in or on facilities used by Coherence Retreats LLC such as hotels, huts, expedition vehicles, or any other mode of transportation.

The Client acknowledges that the cost of Coherence Retreats LLC retreats do not include insurance and that the Client has been advised to obtain separate coverage at an additional cost. When obtaining travel insurance the Client must ensure the insurer is aware of the type of travel to be undertaken.

EVACUATION PROCEDURES AND COSTS

Coherence Retreats LLC Retreat Leaders, local guides or other representatives decisions will at all times be final on all matters likely to affect the safety and well-being of the trip. We reserve the right to prohibit any traveler from continuing on a trip with no right of refund if, in our opinion, that traveler’s actions pose a threat to the safety of others, to the wildlife, themselves, or if the traveler’s actions and/or behaviors are harming the enjoyment of the trip for others.

CLAIMS & COMPLAINTS

If a Client has a complaint against Coherence Retreats LLC, the Client must first inform the Retreat Leader or guide at the earliest opportunity to allow the grievance to be rectified. If satisfaction is not reached, contact the Coherence Retreats LLC CEO whilst on retreat so that Coherence Retreats LLC is provided the opportunity to rectify the matter. Failure to indicate dissatisfaction whilst on retreat will result in the Client’s ability to claim compensation from Coherence Retreats LLC being extinguished or at least reduced. If satisfaction is still not reached through these means on retreat then any further complaint must be put in writing to Coherence Retreats LLC within 30 days of the end of the trip.

CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY

By booking travel with Coherence Retreats LLC, the Client acknowledges they have considered the potential risks, dangers and challenges, and expressly assumes the risks attendant to such travel conditions.
