The remaining balance for your spot which has not then been paid to BnF by you, will be recovered from you by BnF as a debt due and payable. Consider travel insurance to protect the costs of your trip in the case of injury, illness or inability to attend for other reasons.

If BnF Cancel

  • BnF reserves the right to make any changes deemed necessary; including, but not limited to: BnF staffing assignments, advertised excursions, arranged transportation, advertised meals, etc. If the designated trip leader is unable to lead the trip for any reason, BnF will enlist another teacher of substantially similar qualifications to lead the event.

  • BnF reserves the right to make changes and/or cancel any aspect of the event including, but not limited to, events that may be hazardous or dangerous or due to any other adverse or threatening conditions such as weather, political, military, terrorist, health virus outbreak, too few event attendees, or for any other reason considered necessary by BnF. While every effort is made to keep to all published itineraries, BnF reserves the right to make changes, however no refund for unused services will be considered if an event is canceled due to threatening conditions.

TRIP INSURANCE

Guests are strongly encouraged to purchase individual travel insurance when registering for a Breathe and Flow event. Life is unpredictable, and having adequate coverage helps protect your investment in the event of illness, injury, family emergencies, travel delays, or other unexpected situations. We encourage you to review your policy carefully and consult with a licensed insurance professional before booking to ensure your coverage aligns with your needs and expectations.

Please note the following:

  • No Refunds for Deposits from Breathe and Flow: Once an event has been booked, the deposit is non-refundable. Any reimbursement must be pursued directly through your insurance provider, subject to the terms of your policy. Breathe and Flow is not an insurance provider and is not responsible for the specific terms of your policy.

  • Coverage Options: Basic trip insurance typically covers cancellations due to illness, injury, or severe weather. For added flexibility, many providers offer a “Cancel for Any Reason” add-on, which reimburses a percentage of your prepaid, non-refundable expenses (such as airfare, deposits, and retreat payments) for cancellations outside of standard coverage reasons (e.g., work conflicts, family obligations, pregnancy, or pre-existing medical conditions).

  • Responsibility for Delays & Interruptions: Breathe and Flow will not be held responsible for any delays, additional expenses, or inconveniences caused by events outside of our control, including but not limited to: flight changes, government actions, civil disturbances, natural disasters, severe weather, equipment failure, or cancellations for any reason.

  • No Shows & Early Departures: No refunds or credits will be issued for late arrivals, early departures, missed days, or “no shows.”

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND IMMUNIZATIONS

It is the responsibility of each traveler to obtain all required travel documents including Visas and health immunizations.

ROOMMATES

Double, triple, quad, bunk or otherwise advertised shared rooms require shared occupancy for the specified room rate. If you book a shared room without a specified roommate(s), we will do our very best to match you with your desired room type and gender preferences but this isn’t guaranteed.

Therefore, the released parties cannot guarantee that any particular food product is free of all traces of any particular allergen, that consumption of a food product will not result in some form of allergic reaction, or that the participant will not come into contact with any allergens while in attendance at BnF events. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that she/he is aware of such risks and that participation in the event will expose the participant to food, activities and persons that may result in exposure to allergens and injury and, in that regard and assuming such risks, the undersigned hereby fully releases and discharges the Released Parties from any and all liability and/or responsibility to the participant.
