Terms of service
MAKE+MOVE lists what is included on each event page. Travel to the venue, insurance, personal kit is rarely included. If you are unsure of inclusions, please contact hello@makeandmove.me
BOOKING POLICY:
All bookings are made via www.makeandmove.me or direct with Lucy Wright.
By making a booking you are agreeing with these Terms and are bound by them; your personal data will be used in accordance with the Privacy Policy and you accept full financial responsibility for payment of the booking for yourself and any others that you book.
Payment is required at the time of booking. This may be full payment or a deposit and at this point your event is considered confirmed; you are strongly advised to ensure that you have insurance to cover cancellation or curtailment.
When booking via www.makeandmove.me and its’ booking system www.arketa.co you are able to amend/cancel as you wish when outside of the cancellation period. Please notify hello@makeandmove.me should you wish to cancel/discuss your booking within the cancellation period.
Payments, payment schedule, late payments:
Payment can be made by bank transfer or a debit /credit card. When booking a retreat you are able to pay in full. For retreats where a deposit has been paid, final balances are due 60-120 days before departure and you will be notified of this at time of booking.
You may be given the option to pay with staggered instalments. In this instance you are requested to note the payment dates and schedule payments accordingly. Any chasing of payments, late payments or missed payments will incur a fee of £25 to be added to your final balance payable pre-retreat. This fee reflects our administrative costs and is not intended to serve as a penalty.
If a booking is made during the period of an early bird price, this price will be honoured as long as all payment dates are met. Any missed payments or late payments forfeit the early bird price and your booking will move to the standard price. If you miss payments or cannot meet the payment schedule, Make+Move reserves the right to cancel your reservation and accept new bookings for your space.
If you are experiencing difficulty making payments, contact hello@makeandmove.me in advance.
GROUP SIZE:
These events are intimate in size and have a minimum group size required for them to go ahead. If this exists, this number is clearly stated on the booking page. Should the minimum number not be met, the Organiser will contact all bookings and offer a refund or alternative.
COVID 19 clause:
Please follow current Government guidance relating to COVID19. If you are displaying symptoms of COVID19 you should not travel to retreat or a class.
Due to the intimate nature of these events, it is unlikely that a refund will be possible in the event of a client testing positive – or having to self-isolate – for COVID19 and therefore not attending.
In the event of the Organiser having to cancel an event due to COVID19, an alternative event will be offered to clients and a refund will also be possible.
Your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 are not affected. This clause does not override any rights you may have under consumer legislation.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Retreats
You (or any member of your party) may cancel your booking at any time, provided that the cancellation is made by the person submitting the booking confirmation and is notified in writing. Cancellation will take effect the day such notification is received by us.
You have a a 14-day right to cancel, known as a “cooling off period” and any payments made within this timeframe will be refunded unless the event has already taken place.
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
For cancellation requests submitted more than 90 days in advance of the retreat, 50% of your balance will be refunded. For cancellation requests made within 90 days of the retreat, no refunds will be given. If another person can be found to take your place, then we may offer you a refund at our discretion. No refunds or credits will be granted for failure to attend, complete or for arriving late or leaving early.
In the unlikely event of the Organiser needing to cancel we will give as much notice as possible and refund all payments.
Please note that we cannot accept responsibility for any other/3rd party costs you may have incurred in relation to the original booking.
Make+Move reserves the right to make any changes deemed necessary by our team. You will not be entitled to claim any additional amounts or seek any compensation for any injury, loss, expenses or damage or for any loss of time or inconvenience which may result from such changes or cancellations.
Refunds will apply to your purchase of a retreat as follows:
If you purchase as a consumer and cancel within the 14-day cancellation period.
If you provide us with notice of a cancellation as per these Terms.
Given this clear refund policy, no chargeback or threatened chargeback claims will be accepted. We kindly ask that you contact us directly to resolve any concerns before initiating a chargeback through your bank. If you pursue a chargeback claim without contacting Make+Move first then such action is a breach of these Terms and you agree to indemnify us against any charges, costs or fees imposed upon us by your debit / credit provider or a merchant service provider, along with reasonable costs at a rate of £60p/h.
Classes
Please cancel your attendance through this website.
All classes have a 24hour cancellation policy. Should you cancel more than 24 hours in advance, you will be able to rebook. Classes cancelled within this period are forfeited.
