The full remaining balance is due sixty (60) days prior to the first day of such Activity. The Company will send a reminder email, but if the balance is not paid within sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of such Activity, the Company reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel your reservation and credit your account for a future Activity, less the deposit. 

Bookings made less than sixty (60) days prior to the start of an Activity must be paid in full upon booking.

To ensure the best experience possible, the Company reserves the right to make any changes deemed necessary to our Activities, including the right to change instructors and/or the venue of the Activities, at any time without any liability to you. In the rare case of cancellation by the Company, the Company will offer you a transfer to another Activity or a full refund

  1.  INSURANCE.  

As a condition of your participation in any Activity, you agree to provide the Company with proof of full insurance coverage for each individual traveler. The Company reserves the right to cancel your reservation should it not receive proof of acceptable insurance prior to the commencement of any Activity

The Company suggests that you include “cancel for any reason” with your policy. You must purchase travel insurance that includes medical coverage. The Company recommends purchasing insurance within 1-2 weeks after making your first payment (i.e., your reservation payment) to secure the best price and coverage.

If you cannot provide sufficient travel insurance, all sums paid up to the date of cancellation will be forfeited. 

  1.  TRAVEL DOCUMENTS.

You will be solely responsible for obtaining and retaining any and all travel documents necessary for participation in any Activity and no refunds will be issued should your participation in any portion of an Activity be affected by your failure to possess and present any and all required travel documents. 

  1.  ROOM OPTIONS.

In the event you choose a shared double or multi-person room package and are not traveling with another person whom will share the room, the Company will attempt to pair you with another like-minded individual. In the event the Company cannot find another person to share your double/multi-person room, you will then be automatically upgraded to a private suite and you will be responsible for the difference in price package.
