We reserve the right to cancel any event at any time up to (and including) the 61st day before the scheduled event start date (except 91 days with respect to certain events). In this scenario, the client
will receive a complete refund of all monies paid to Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats minus bank
transfers costs. In addition, we reserve the right to cancel any event at any time if, due to natural disaster, political instability, or other disruptions and/or circumstances beyond our control (“force majeure circumstances”), the operating of the event would be unsafe or otherwise unviable.

Consulting Firm’s Retreats which are not recoverable and minus bank transfers costs. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance.
10- DISCRETION TO REJECT BOOKINGS OR DENY PARTICIPATION
Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats reserves the right, in the exercise of its discretion and judgment, to reject any client booking and/or to deny participation by any client in an event at any time prior to the start date, if we believe that a client poses a risk to the property or external suppliers. If a host booking is rejected, then that host will receive a full refund of all monies paid to Write Choice Consulting
Firm’s Retreats for that event minus bank transfers costs. Furthermore, each yoga instructor leading an
event also has the authority, in the exercise of his/her discretion and judgment, to deny participation to
any of their guests, if the instructor believes the client’s continued participation will be disruptive to the overall experience, to the other clients and/or to property or suppliers. If a client is denied participation after the event’s start date, it is up to the host to deal with the matter and refunds if so.
11- SUPPLIERS
Villas, shuttle services or other constituent elements of the event will be arranged by Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats with suppliers local to the regions in which we curate the events, who may themselves engage the services of other local operators and/or sub-contractors. Write Choice
Consulting Firm’s Retreats will at all times endeavour to appoint reputable and competent local suppliers. The terms and conditions of the suppliers will be applicable and are expressly incorporated
into these Terms, and the retreat host assents to those terms and conditions and the limitations and obligations contained therein. These may limit or exclude liability of the supplier. The liability of Write
Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats will not exceed that of any supplier. All suppliers will be selected and assessed by Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats in reference to local laws and regulations in the
relevant country of operation. Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any independent contractors.
12- ITINERARIES
The itinerary listed for each event represents a general plan for that event (including the day-by-day
schedule of activities). However, you acknowledge and accept that you will structure your days in the
retreat according to your class dynamics and retreat ethos and will only stick to what third party
suppliers have agreed in terms of activity timings, etc. Sometimes circumstances may arise which result
in changes to the listed itinerary and you will work accordingly with suppliers or coordinators to re-
schedule your retreat plan. These changes may include, without limitation, delays and/or partial or
complete changes in the following: the itinerary, quality or location of lodging, modes or quality of
transportation, etc. You understand and agree that: (i) Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats and/or
its designees may make last-minute or on-site decisions to address changed circumstances, (ii) Write
Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats does not guarantee conformity with any itineraries that have been
published or furnished to you or any other clients, and (iii) Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats
reserves the right to change the itinerary with or without notice to you.
13- WEBSITE, BROCHURES AND ADVERTISING
The information provided in our website, brochures and advertising materials is of the best of our
knowledge and we believe it is correct at the time of publishing. Occasionally errors may occur and
information may change so you must therefore check all the details of each venue and suppliers at the
time of booking.
14- TRAVEL INSURANCE
Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats strongly advises all clients to purchase travel insurance in
connection with the event to cover sickness, cancellation or curtailment. While the coverage provided
by travel insurance varies based on the policy you purchase, as a general rule, this type of insurance may
provide coverage for a variety of losses which a client may incur relating to a booking, including losses
relating to trip cancellation, illness, injury, theft, lost or damaged property, etc. Be aware that, except
for the limited refund rights outlined in Sections 10, 11 and 12 above for various cancellation scenarios,
each client is 100% responsible for any losses, penalties, fees or other financial consequences arising out of any booking or trip, or the cancellation or interruption of any event (including, i.e., costs related to airline tickets and fees, passport fees, visa fees, medical expenses, etc.). For all of these reasons, we urge you to purchase travel insurance promptly following booking of the event. If you are a yoga teacher it is also a condition of booking that you are insured to cover to your teaching.
15- PHOTOS AND MARKETING
With respect to still photos and/or video footage from the event which include(s) your image and/or
name, you irrevocably grant us the right to use those photos and/or footage for marketing and promotional purposes (including, without limitation, on our website, in advertisements, marketing
materials and/or on our social media platforms), on a royalty-free basis, throughout the world and in perpetuity. With respect to any still photos and/or video footage from the event which were shot by you
and posted on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other social media platform, you irrevocably grant us
the right to re-post those photos and/or footage on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other such
social media platform, on a royalty-free basis, throughout the world and in perpetuity. We will use good faith efforts to credit you as the source of any such photos or footage that we re-post; but our failure to do so will not be a breach of these Terms & Conditions or invalidate the foregoing grant of rights. If you notify us of our failure to credit you, we will remedy that failure as promptly as practicable, in a reasonable manner (which may include the addition of credit, or the take-down of the applicable photo or footage), following receipt of your notice.
16- IMMUNIZATIONS | TRAVEL ADVISORIES | WARNINGS
Each client assumes full responsibility for verifying any requirements relating to and/or obtaining any
immunizations which may be necessary or desirable for travel in the applicable country(ies) and/or
region(s). Each client also assumes full responsibility for researching the safety and security conditions in the applicable country(ies) and/or region(s) during the period of scheduled travel, and being aware of any applicable travel advisories and/or warnings. Clients may also wish to consult a physician who is knowledgeable about travel medicine and related medical issues in the country(ies) and/or region(s) to
be visited.
17- ALCOHOL | DRUGS POLICY Hosts should not practice yoga under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
both, and doing so will result in immediate dismissal of the event, with no refund being issued.

Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats does not own, operate or control any person or entity that
provides any goods or services for your event (“Third Party Operators”), including any lodging facilities,
airline, ground or water transportation, tour operator, food service provider, etc. Rather, we contract
with Third Party Operators to provide all goods and services for your event; and you understand that all
Third Party Operators are independent contractor(s), and not affiliates or employees of Write Choice
Consulting Firm’s Retreats. In selecting Third Party Operators, we do our best to seek out reliable
suppliers and contractors to provide the necessary travel-related goods and and services. Accordingly, in
the absence of gross negligence by the Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats, you understand and
agree that Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats shall not have any responsibility or liability for any
acts or omissions of any Third Party Operators in connection with your event. Without limiting the
foregoing, we will not be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or incidental damage, liability,
injury, loss cost or expense you may incur (including any claim relating to personal injury, illness, death,
property damage or loss, delay or other inconvenience) arising out of or by reason of the acts or
omissions of any Third Party Operator.
19- ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Write Choice Consulting Firm’s Retreats is dedicated to providing a safe environment for all clients who
participate on our events. However, you must take responsibility for your own behavior and safety.
Furthermore, you understand and assume the risks and hazards inherent in travel. These risks and
hazards may include, without limitation, delays, illness, injury, death or other unanticipated happenings,
and may be caused by force majeure circumstances, the negligence of Write Choice Consulting Firm’s
Retreats or other persons (including third party operators), the intentional and/or criminal conduct of
others or other circumstances. Certain locations are remote and require additional travel time away
from city centers and towns; as such, medical attention may not always be readily available or may be of
inferior quality compared to what is available at home. Also, you may be visiting places where the
political, cultural and geographical environment is very different than where you live, and in some cases,
these differences may present increased risks and/or challenges. We use reasonably available
information from the U.S.A. government Foreign Travel Advise, applicable foreign governments and
reports from our contacts in planning each events itinerary, and assessing the viability of each events
itinerary as the start date approaches. However, it is your responsibility to acquaint yourself with all
available and relevant travel information for your destination and the nature of your itinerary. You
acknowledge and agree that your decision to travel is made after having considered this information,
and you expressly assume the personal risks involved with such travel.

officers, directors, shareholders, members, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “ER

loss, cost or expense you may incur (including any claim relating to personal injury, illness, death,
property damage or loss, delay or other inconvenience) arising out of or by reason of (i) the acts or
omissions of any Third Party Operator or (ii) the negligence of any of the WCCF Parties or (iii) any acts or
omissions of any other parties or (iv) force majeure circumstances. You release the WCCF Parties from
any and all claims, liabilities, losses, expenses, damages, demands, actions, causes of action, lawsuits or
