If you make a booking on behalf of other participants, you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do accept these Terms on behalf of the other participants in your party.

3 . HEALTH, SAFETY & INSURANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Rewind Retreat highly recommends that all participants acquire comprehensive travel and medical insurance prior to participating in any activities or events organized or facilitated by The Rewind Retreat. Travel insurance can provide coverage for unforseen circumstances, medical emergencies, and lost or damaged belongings. Participants are solely responsible for arranging their own travel insurance and ensuring it adequately covers their needs.
While every effort is made to ensure the safety and well-being of guests during activities or events organized or facilitated by The Rewind Retreat, it is important to understand that travel involves inherent risks. The Rewind Retreat, its owners, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be held liable for any loss, injury, damage, delay, or inconvenience incurred by participants, regardless of the cause. Participants agree to participate in activities or events at their own risk and release The Rewind Retreat from any and all liability arising from their participation.
In the event you are ill and cannot attend your retreat, or for any other reason that you cannot attend, you must submit a claim to your trip insurance company for reimbursement (reimbursement subject to the approval/terms of your specific policy). There are no refunds from The Rewind Retreat on your final retreat payment. The Rewind Retreat is not a trip insurance provider and is not responsible for the specific terms of your policy. Insurance reimbursement for a Retreat is not within The Rewind Retreat’s control and this information does not constitute insurance advice. Please consult an insurance professional and understand your policy coverage limits so there are no surprises for you.
4 . DEPOSIT & FINAL PAYMENT
Retreats are priced in $CAD. A deposit is required to confirm your Retreat booking and is non-refundable. Final payment of your balance is due 60 days before the Retreat start date unless otherwise noted. Failure to make payment by the applicable due date may forfeit your booking on the Retreat and be treated as a cancellation. If a booking is made less than 60 days before the Retreat start date, the full amount must be paid at the time of booking. The Rewind Retreat is not responsible for any charges levied by third parties or financial institutions and payable by you as a result of credit card or other payment transactions and will not refund or return any fees charged by third parties or financial institutions in connection with payments made by you to The Rewind Retreat.

6 . CANCELLATION BY THE REWIND RETREAT
