Art in Goodnestone
Terms and Conditions
PAYMENTS AND REFUNDS
Upon Registration, Art in Goodnestone Retreat requires a non-refundable deposit of 33 percent of the total fees for the workshop to confirm your registration(s) and attendance. In the absence of such a payment, a participant’s registration is not guaranteed and another candidate may be substituted. The full balance for the Art in Goodnestone Retreat is due no later than ninety (90) calendar days before the beginning of the workshop. If such payment is not made by ninety (90) days before the workshop begins, Art in Goodnestone Retreat reserves the right to forfeit the participant’s registration and fill the space with another candidate. In these circumstances, the original participant will not be entitled to a refund of the 33 percent initial confirmation deposit.
Receipt of the non-refundable deposit constitutes acceptance of the applicable terms and conditions governing the Art in Goodnestone Retreat program, and constitutes a binding contract between you, as the participant, and Art in Goodnestone Retreat.
CANCELLATION
Art in Goodnestone Retreat reserves the right to cancel any workshop due to an insufficient number of registered and confirmed participants. Such a determination shall be made within the sole discretion of Art in Goodnestone Retreat.
In the event that Art in Goodnestone Retreat cancels a workshop, a participant’s payments (including the registration deposit) will be refunded (minus a 3% transaction fee). Any refund provided by Art in Goodnestone Retreat shall not cover a participant’s travel-related costs or any other expenses incurred as a result of the participant’s registration and plans to attend the workshop.
If you find you need to end the contract and cancel your place at any time and for any reason up to 14 days before the start of the workshop we will refund what you have already paid minus the non-recoverable costs at the point of cancellation. If we are subsequently able to re-sell your place on the workshop we will refund you the non-recoverable costs as well, minus any bank charges to process your payments as well as a reasonable administration cost. Please note there can be no refund if you cancel fewer than 14 days before the start of the workshop. If we need to cancel the workshop at any time and for any reason you will be offered a place on a postponed workshop or a full refund.

PASSPORTS, VISAS
It is the sole responsibility of participants to obtain the travel documents (passports, visas, etc.) necessary to attend Art in Goodnestone Retreat. Under no circumstances shall failure of a participant to obtain the required travel documentation be deemed to constitute a legitimate reason for cancellation of the participant’s attendance or entitle the participant to a refund under the terms described herein.
HEALTH & WELLBEING
Because social grouping is at the heart of what we do, it is impossible for us to accommodate anyone who is immunocompromised. If you have an underlying health condition that makes it risky for you to be in a restricted space with others, this is not the retreat for you. We will not be enforcing mask wearing or testing, but you are welcome to do either/both as you see fit.
COVID-19
In the event that a workshop is canceled as a result of Covid-19 government restrictions, or if a participant is prohibited from traveling to attend a workshop due to applicable Covid-19 travel restrictions, Art in Goodnestone Retreat will refund any payments made (minus a 3% transaction fee).
