C) AYAHUASCA RETREAT: CANCELLATIONS & REFUND POLICY

[Up to 26 days before your arrival in Lima/Iquitos]:

In case of trip/retreat cancellation on your part, up to 26 days before your arrival in Lima - or Iquitos (if your journey is not organized by us from Lima), we will retain £ 240 GBP per retreat participant, for administrative fees, and refund the difference paid by you, after bank fees (i.e. after all bank fees we may incur to send you the refund).

Should we also incur in any charges from the service providers - i.e. Hotels, agencies, airlines, banks, guides, interpreters, associates, and/or any other third party contracted for the organization of your trip/retreat - the retreat/journey participant will be entirely liable for the repayment of these charges which we would have incurred. These extra charges - when present - will be added to the standard cancellation fees of £ 240 GBP, and detracted from the refundable amount originally paid by the journey/trip/retreat participant.

No refunds BEGINNING FROM 25 days before the scheduled ayahuasca retreat date.

For the sake of clarity, please note that the no-refund period BEGINS FROM 25 days before the scheduled retreat date and is counted both towards cancellations made by you ("the retreat participant") before your booked trip/journey/retreat date and to cancellations/abandonment/curtailing of your scheduled trip/journey/retreat whilst you ("the retreat participant") are already in Peru, and have already began your retreat in Onanyan Shobo. No refunds for unused retreat/journey time and/or other services provided by us and not used by you.

E) CANCELLATIONS & SCHEDULE CHANGE 

No schedule change is allowed after your travel plan has been agreed-on, prepared and confirmed by us, received by you and all reservations placed by us. Any subsequent schedule change requested by you will be treated technically as a “cancellation” of your originally planned itinerary, and will incur into an extra penalty fee of £ 240 GBP - plus any extra amount eventually charged to us by the service providers.

Exceptions:

In exceptional cases, however - if we repute feasible and reasonable that your ayahuasca or plant diet retreat with us might be re-scheduled at a later time and at our sole discretion, subject to previous assessment of suitability, feasibility and availability of places, and written confirmation by us - we may consider the re-scheduling of your retreat, subject to the payment of a cancellation fee of £ 240 GBP per participant, which must be received by us, net of bank fees. Bank fees are payable by you, for all payments received by us/made by you, from abroad. Should we also incur in any charges from the service providers - i.e. Hotels, agencies, airlines, banks, guides, interpreters, associates, and/or any other third party contracted for the organization of your trip/retreat - the retreat/journey participant will be solely liable for the repayment of these charges which we would have incurred. These extra charges - when present - will be added to the standard cancellation fees of £ 240 GBP.  Bank fees are in all cases payable by you, for all payments received/made from abroad.

Please note that once you begin or trespass the 25-days no-refunds period for the ayahuasca retreat and the 45-days no-refunds period for the plant diet, the re-scheduling of your retreat, even with the payment of the cancellation fees + extra charges (if and when appropriate), is an entirely purely facultative procedure, which we will apply at our sole discretion. Once the deadline for refunds has expired, there will be no formal entitlement to refunds whatsoever.

F) UNUSED SERVICES:

There will be no refunds made for cancelled or unused services whatsoever. It is  not possible to exchange the money paid for a retreat in Onanyan Shobo with any other retreat or programme we offer.
