Retreat terms and conditions

Health Agreement

I hereby affirm that I am in good and stable mental and physical condition. I do not suffer from any mental or physical disability that would prevent or limit my participation in this retreat with Althea Lawton-Thompson of Aerobics, Yoga & More Fitness LLC, hereinafter referred to as ALT/AYM.

I understand ALT/AYM practices holistic healing techniques and various other healing modalities. I understand the intent of ALT/AYM is to offer information of a general nature to help in my quest for emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being. I understand ALT/AYM is not a licensed mental health therapist, doctor, nutritionist or registered dietitian. Statements, suggestions, recommendations, and protocols have not been evaluated or approved by the Food and Drug Administration or any licensing board. ALT/AYM does not provide medical aid, mental health guidance, or nutrition advice for the purpose of diagnosing, treating, curing, or preventing any illness or disease. I am ultimately responsible for all decisions pertaining to my health. I assume full responsibility for consulting a qualified health professional regarding health conditions or concerns. ALT/AYM is not responsible for adverse reactions, effects, or consequences resulting from the practices or use of any suggestions before, during or after my participation in this event.

I have been informed and understand that all information presented by ALT/AYM is intended for informational purposes only. I will not rely on this information as a substitute for, nor does it replace, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If I have any concerns or questions about my health, I will consult with a physician, licensed mental health professional, or other health-care professional.

I have made my own determination as to whether or not I am able to physically, emotionally, mentally, and psychologically safely participate in this session, and I have consulted professionals of my choosing to clear me in any necessary instance. I agree to assume all risks of using ALT/AYM‘s advice and suggestions, and hereby release and hold harmless Althea Lawton-Thompson, Aerobics, Yoga & More Fitness Studios LLC, their officers, agents, representatives, contractors, employees, and volunteers from any liability, and all health claims, suits, losses, or causes of action for damages, including claims for negligence, now or in the future, however caused, occurring during or after my participation in this retreat.

Room Assignment

I understand and agree that ALT/AYM is NOT responsible for providing a roommate for me. If I register as a Double, my roommate will register for the trip and pay in full at the same time as I do. If I register for a double and do not secure my own roommate, I may be assigned a roommate randomly. If no roommate is available, I will be responsible for paying the difference for a single room, or I forfeit all fees paid.

Trip Cancellation & Transferring Registration

In the case of natural disaster or international travel advisory causing cancellation of the retreat, the retreat will be rescheduled. If the retreat is not rescheduled, 75% of all fees paid will be refunded within 60 business days of cancellation. There will be no refunds if the trip is rescheduled within twelve (12) months from the original date.

I understand that my paid registration or partial registration may be transferred to a non-registered attendee. If I choose to cancel without transferring my registration, I understand that I forfeit all funds paid. I understand that I am responsible for paying the balance of my retreat, possibly at a higher price than the Full Payment, at least forty-five (45) days prior to the retreat start date to avoid forfeiture of my trip and all funds paid. I further understand and agree that if I do not pay the balance in full, I forfeit all fees paid unless I transfer my trip to a new registrant who completes the payment(s) in full.

International Travel

I understand that I am responsible for booking and paying for my travel to and from the city/state/province/country of this retreat.

I understand and agree that I must obtain a passport prior to departure. I agree that my passport will be valid for at least six (6) months after this trip ends. I will visit the U.S. Department of State at travel.state.gov for further information. I understand that if I am a non-US citizen, I will need to contact the embassy or consulate of this country to ensure I meet specific entry requirements.

I understand and acknowledge that may be traveling to a country other than my own and the customs and culture may be substantially different than the country of my origin. I understand that in this country, services in all aspects, including hotels, tours and restaurants, cannot be expected to be of the same standard as those in my home country.

Based on unknown and unpredictable factors, I understand there may be times when it becomes necessary to modify the retreat itinerary or cancel an outdoor excursion. In the event weather makes it impossible to travel between the airports or along the roads, I understand the itinerary may be altered.

Insurance

I understand that all activities and excursions led during this retreat carry inherent risks. I understand I may be visiting places where the geographical attributes present dangers and physical challenges that may challenge me physically and mentally. It is my responsibility to acquaint myself with all possible relevant travel information and weather advisories. I hold harmless ALT/AYM for any injuries that may incur on the properties or on an excursion during this retreat.

I understand and agree that it is my responsibility to ensure that I have adequate insurance and travel insurance coverage to cover risks such as medical costs, personal accident risks, personal liability, legal expenses, cancelled trip, missed flights, and lost luggage. I agree to insure my trip and will not seek any remedy from ALT/AYM for funds lost due to cancellation of the retreat.
