Deposit, Refund, and Cancellation Policies
Because we are a small entity, cancellations and no-shows have a large impact on our business. To better serve our clients and ensure availability for those looking to book one of our services, we have put the following policies in place:
Wellness Retreats
Booking:
A valid credit card deposit or prepayment is required at the time of booking.
Your reservation is confirmed once you have received a confirmation email from Kasama Wellness. Your payment does not create a contract, and if we decline to book your accommodation(s), you will be promptly refunded in full.
You must be at least 18 years of age to book one of our retreats. Individuals younger than 18 years of age are not permitted to attend without adult supervision present for the entirety of the retreat. Although we will do our best to accommodate your young-uns, those under the age of 18 who wish to attend is at the sole discretion of Kasama Wellness.
Deposits, Refunds & Cancellations:
We require a 50% deposit charged to your credit card upon booking. This deposit is non-refundable. Cancellations must be made 14 days prior to the event; notice received less than 14 days may be charged the remaining 50% of the total amount.
COVID-19:
In light of COVID-19, we are allowing guests to transfer their bookings or to receive credit if they wish to cancel; however, we do not issue refunds on deposits. If you wish to transfer your booking or receive credit for cancelling we require 14 days notice, otherwise you will forfeit your deposit transfer upon cancellation.
Sounds Baths
Group Sound baths are non-refundable.
For private sound baths we require a 50% non-refundable deposit upon booking via a valid credit card, direct deposit, or e-transfer. If you would like to cancel or reschedule your private home sound bath, we require at least 7 days notice. Cancelling or rescheduling less than 7 days before your private session will result in a charge of the total amount owing that remains.
Personal Sound Therapy Session
In consideration to other clients and to Veronica, we ask that any cancellations and/or rescheduling be made 24 hours prior to your appointment time. Remember that your appointment time has been reserved for you specifically. Cancellations and/or rescheduling less than 24 hours prior to your appointment will be subject to a charge of the FULL amount of your appointment.
We understand that unexpected emergencies and/or sudden illness may occur where 24 hours notice may not be an option. Please let us know if this is the case and we will do our best to accommodate you. Please note that work or childcare issues are not considered unexpected emergencies. If you find yourself in this situation, we would be happy to discuss other booking options that may better suit your schedule.
Wellness Workshops
Payment for all workshops is made in full upon booking. Time and effort go into creating a well-curated wellness workshop and so, with that in mind, we do not offer refunds. Cancellations made more than 7 days prior to the event date will be credited to your Kasama Wellness account. Cancellations made less than 7 days from the event date will not be credited or refunded. There are no exceptions to this policy. We thank you for understanding.
