By confirming you wish to proceed with a booking and by sending the booking payment (deposit and/or full balance payment), you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions:
Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions are applicable to all Bluerise Retreats, including those managed by any third-party retreat management company or persons.
Reservations with Bluerise Retreats, together with its affiliates are made and accepted only on the following Terms and Conditions without modification. The terms “you,” “your” and “guest” refer to all persons who book a retreat with Bluerise Retreats. The specific terms of your reservation with Bluerise Retreats will be provided to you in a separate written confirmation. The terms and conditions of such written confirmation, along with any specific disclosures made available on the Bluerise Retreats website, any company documentation separately provided to you, are part of these Terms and Conditions.
Terms of Booking
Retreat bookings will only be secured upon receipt of payment in full. Until we have received the above, no booking can be guaranteed. Upon receipt of your payment you will be sent a booking confirmation by email. All places are subject to availability at the time of you making your payment. If payment is made for a specific retreat date and during the time of your funds clearing the retreat fully books, a full refund will be offered or an alternative retreat date.
Please check the details on the confirmation carefully. If any of the details are incorrect or have changed from the time the reservation was made, then you must inform us within 24 hours. No reservations shall be valid until confirmed in writing (electronic or otherwise) by Bluerise Retreats.
Payment
Payment for your retreat is accepted in £ Sterling via bank transfer or PayPal, and in Euros and US dollars via bank transfer. Payment in the resort for additional services taken is accepted in cash and bank transfer but the latter is only possible if we are notified that the funds are in our account before your departure.
If the currency of the quoted price (for the retreat or additional services) differs from the currency in which you are making payment, the spot exchange rate on that day will be used for the currency conversion.
Additional services (e.g. extra massages, ski instruction, paragliding etc) that have not been paid for in advance must be paid for during your retreat, before departure. Bluerise Retreats reserve the right to take payments for these services at the time of booking them for you. All bank fees associated with any payment by you are to be paid by you.
Balance Payments
The balance of your retreat should be received 6 weeks prior to retreat start (unless otherwise specified). Bookings made within 6 weeks of retreat start must be paid for in full.
Clients whose balances are not received by the 6-week deadline risk forfeiting their retreat booking as we will be required to open up the waiting list after this deadline.
Any additional activities or treatments that have been pre-reserved should be paid for 2 weeks prior to the retreat start. If payment for pre-booked activities or treatments is not received 2 weeks prior to retreat start, we may not be able to book any of the chosen treatments in with our guides/therapists. Pre-booked activities and treatments are only confirmed once full payment for the retreat and for additional activities and treatments has been received.
Any additional activities or treatments booked during your retreat will be invoiced separately and payment will be required from the day the activity or treatment takes place until one day prior to departure (check out).
Monies Owed
Bluerise Retreats reserves the right to terminate any booking where any monies due are more than fourteen (14) days in arrears.
Rates
Rates are in GBP (Great British Pound) on our website. Please check carefully the currency and amount required when booking. All rates are subject to change without notice. Prices are quoted to the guest on the day that payment is taken and booking is confirmed. Any change in price following a booking, including a reduction in price will not be subject to any refund by Bluerise Retreats for the difference in price.

These alterations may result in a higher price being quoted due to rate increase or price differences. If the price is higher, you, the guest, will be liable for the difference.
Special Offers/Promotional Activity
Special offers/promotions and all retreat package inclusions may vary. Bluerise Retreats reserve the right to make changes at any time.
From time to time Bluerise Retreats will decide to offer retreats at a promotional rate or include a free treatment / activity in order to fill a retreat last minute and avoid cancelling the date altogether. These reduced rates / treatments / activities / offers cannot be added to a pre-existing booking.

If your package includes transfers, please send us your flight details as soon as you have them (at least 6 weeks before the start of your retreat) so that we can organise this for you. Transfers to and from alternative airports not stated within the quote are possible but additional charges may apply. We accept no responsibility for transfer times as road and weather conditions may vary.
Activities and Treatments
We carefully hand-pick our third-party service partners; however, our service partners are independently operated and not employees of Bluerise Retreats.

If you do have pre-existing medical conditions, once Bluerise Retreats has received information from you regarding your medical condition, we will then discuss with you an alternative option for whichever activity or treatment may not be suitable.
If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right to decline the booking or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel where we become aware of details.
Failure to notify Bluerise Retreats in advance, may result in you not being able to attend or continue with the retreat or undertake any treatments or activities that may have possible contra-indications.

Activities and Entertainment
If you are someone that requires constant activities or distractions this is a perfect time for you to slow down and break out of this habit. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide constant entertainment and activities during the retreat. To do this would also go against what we are trying to promote. Please respect and understand that this is a wellness retreat and not a boot camp, spa or a hotel.

All animals including cats and dogs are prohibited on a Bluerise Retreat. Anyone found with an animal on site at the retreat will be asked to leave the premises immediately and no refund or alternative date will be given.

Changes to Terms
Terms and conditions may be changed by Bluerise Retreats at any time.
Changes to Retreat, Activities or Treatments
All information on our website and any written or verbal form of correspondence is correct at the time of publication.
Bluerise Retreats reserves the right to change the retreat schedule and any of the inclusive components of any retreat package at any given time without prior notice.
Should it be necessary to make any changes to your package before or during your retreat stay owing to staff illness, absence, mechanical faults, weather conditions, what insurance companies call ‘acts of god’ or any other unforeseen circumstances we reserve the right to do so and will always endeavour to provide an equivalent alternative. This includes any treatments and activities, sessions, consultations, fitness or yoga sessions.
If we are unable to provide an alternative class or session that was included in the standard package for any reason, you may be offered a complimentary treatment or a small discount off your final invoice total at the discretion of the Manager. For workshops and treatments that are not part of the standard retreat package and have been part of a special offer or as part of a promotion, we will not be able to offer any refund to the value of such inclusion but will endeavour to provide an alternative.
Changes to Prices
Retreat prices advertised on our website may change at any time at our discretion. We may also reduce prices to fill last minute places. The price is as advertised at the time of booking and some people may pay less for last minute places. No refunds are given for any difference in price to other guests who booked a retreat at the full price. We aim to fill all retreats to avoid us having to cancel them due to not reaching capacity.
Alternative Accommodation
In the extremely unlikely event of our booking team double booking your space on a retreat date, Bluerise Retreats cannot offer you alternative accommodation offsite. A full refund or date change will be offered to you. Bluerise Retreats will only be responsible for the full retreat price paid and any pre-booked treatments or activities.
Withdrawal of Facilities or Services
Facilities and accommodations may be altered or services withdrawn for reasons outside of Bluerise Retreats Control.

Rates, accommodations, property descriptions, amenities, and rental conditions are subject to change without notice and are at the sole and absolute discretion of Bluerise Retreats.
Bluerise Retreats will not accept responsibility should the accommodations not conform to a guest’s personal standards or for inconveniences incurred as a result of guests’ experiences differing from that portrayed in marketing materials.

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY
It is essential that you have adequate travel and cancellation insurance. This should be purchased independently as it is not included in the retreat program cost.
If for whatever reason you need to cancel the retreat after you have booked, the following refund policy will apply:
Our retreats are extremely exclusive with limited capacity. Once you book onto the retreat, we guarantee your place and may have to turn other people away. Therefore, all retreat bookings made within 0-42 days of the retreat start date are final and there will be no refunds given for a cancellation.
A full refund of the monies paid will be given for all cancellations up to 3 months prior to the start date of the booked retreat. Any deposits made by you become non-refundable after this time. The balance is due 6 weeks before the start of your retreat and all payments are non-refundable after this time.
If any refund is given all bank charges incurred will be covered by the client/guest.
No refund will be provided on retreat package or treatments pre-booked if you choose to leave the retreat early or for failure to arrive at the retreat for any reason.
If paying via instalments, the above will apply based on the total retreat price not just on any instalments paid.
Please note that we are not liable for any accident or injury occurred during the duration of your stay, and in booking with us you are acknowledging this fact. It is essential that you take out travel insurance as soon as you book your retreat, which will cover you for any emergencies, delays and cancellations to your booking.
If you are asked to leave the retreat for breaching any of our Terms & Conditions, no part of the retreat fee or for treatments booked will be refunded.
We cannot refund in the event of a natural disaster, adverse weather conditions or any other situation out of our control for you not being able to participate in the retreat.
We will make every effort to provide the retreat agreed. However, we reserve the right to alter or cancel the venue or date of a retreat, for any cause beyond our reasonable control. In the very unlikely event that we should need to cancel or change a retreat for unforeseen circumstances, or if minimum numbers have not been reached, you may either transfer your booking to the next available date, or we will reimburse all money received from you. Once this is booked, the normal terms and conditions will apply. This does NOT include refunds on flights, insurance, transfers or any other related costs incurred. Our liability will be limited to the refund of your retreat deposit only and we will not be liable for any other direct or indirect loss, cost or expense, of any nature, however caused.
Force Majeure
Bluerise Retreats shall not be liable for damages for any closure hereunder if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond its control or the control of any retreat management company, but not limited to, weather conditions, force majeure, strikes, civil commotions, embargoes, and wars or other hostilities, whether actual, threatened or reported, and/or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Bluerise Retreats or any of the Retreat Management Companies
Cancelling Treatments and Activities
Once additional treatments or Activities have been pre-booked and confirmed in writing they can be changed or cancelled where possible but only by giving us at least 14 days’ notice prior to retreat start. Additional treatments can be booked during a retreat subject to availability. Additional treatments once booked during a retreat can be changed or cancelled but only by giving us at least 24 hours’ notice.
No shows will be charged the full treatment price. Late arrivals to treatment will also forfeit the time lost. No extra time will be added to accommodate late arrivals.
Cancellations by Bluerise Retreats
Should a circumstance arise and Bluerise Retreats has to cancel your retreat for any reason, you will be informed as soon as is reasonably possible. In these circumstances, Bluerise Retreats will, if we are able to do so, offer you an alternative retreat of equivalent standard and price at no extra cost or a less expensive retreat. In which case, Bluerise Retreats will refund the difference in price.
If you do not wish to take the alternative we offer you, you can choose another retreat package of higher value and pay the difference. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can receive a full refund.
Standard of Property
Guests shall keep the property and all furniture, fixtures, fittings and effects in or on the property in the same state of repair, cleanliness and general order as at the commencement of their stay.
