The terms and conditions apply to any retreat participant or host attending or not-attending a retreat with Create Space Yoga (CSY). By participating in a retreat, the participant, host, or team member of the host agrees to the applicability of these terms and conditions.
Create Space Yoga may amend these terms and conditions at any point in time. The most recent version is listed on their website.
The price for each retreat can be found on the CSY website and is listed in the domestic currency of the host.
For a participant to reserve a retreat, CSY requires the participant to make one of the following non-refundable payment options as indicated on their site.
A non-refundable deposit will secure the participant's seat with the remaining balance due:
(A) early bird rate 120 days before the start date
(B) standard rate 45 days before the start date
Domestic retreat participants are required to pay the full early bird price 45-days before the retreat start date. International retreat participants are required to pay the full early bird price 120-days before the retreat starting date to secure the early bird rate shown on our website.
Domestic retreat participants are required to pay the full standard price 14-days before the retreat start date. International retreat participants are required to pay the full standard price 45-days before the retreat start date.
All retreat bookings close 30 days before the retreat starting date.
Payments can be made online using Mastercard, Visa, or a bank transfer to one of our five currency accounts.
All payments made to our business account are non-refundable and cancellation leads to the loss of all funds paid. CSY will issue an Insurance Claim Letter for all medical, death in the family, accidents, and/or natural disasters stopping the participant from traveling.
For a yoga teacher to schedule a retreat with CSY, He/She/They is required to hold a minimum of 300 hrs (Registered Yoga Teacher) certification by Yoga Alliance. He/She/They must gather a group of 20 - 45 students and work collectively with the CSY team to run a successful yoga retreat.
For a host wanting to schedule a retreat, CSY requires a 1000 holding deposit in the currency of the host. The deposits will secure the requested retreat dates and location, and start the pre-retreat organization. The host holding deposit will be reimbursed on the last day of the successfully run retreat along with the host profit.
If CSY has to reschedule a retreat for any reason (including pandemic or natural disaster), CSY will issue a credit note for the total amount paid. The holding deposit will not be refunded if the host chooses to reschedule or cancel their retreat, does not fulfill their obligations as a host, or does not meet the minimum number of students required for their retreat.
The host is required to select one of the two payment options listed below:
3.1 The host collects participant deposits and transfers the total amount to one of our five currency accounts (due no later than 6-months prior to the retreat start date). Early-bird participant payments must be collected 120 days before the retreat starting date. Standard payments must be collected 45 days before the first day of the retreat.
3.2 CSY collects participant payments and shares all bookings with the host. Student payments are made online using a Master Card, Visa, Credit Card, or a bank transfer to one of our five currency accounts.
*Please note - all payments made to CSY accounts are non-refundable unless otherwise stated. Additional fees may be charged for any late payments.
4.1 On the last day of the retreat, CSY transfers the total profit to the host or business account holder. A confirmation of the total amount received must be confirmed via email no later than seven days after the retreat. CSY pays 100% of the host profit if the participant books through the host’s advertising and 50% if CSY brings the participant to the retreat through in-house marketing and ads.
4.2 In the event that the host cannot teach during the retreat, or chooses not to, a substitute teacher will be provided by CSY at an additional cost.
5.1 For the retreat to proceed, the host is required to have a minimum of 20 participant bookings.
6.1 CSYR retreat maximum capacity is 45 participants. The total number of participants and the host is 46.
7.1 The host will receive a complimentary retreat for a group of 20 to 45 guests minus the retreat exclusions list.
All payments made to our business account are non-refundable. CSY will issue an Insurance Claim Letter for all medical, death in the family, accidents, and/or natural disasters that may prevent the participant from traveling.
The cancellation of a scheduled retreat will result in the host forfeiting the total holding deposit amount and any future deposits (unless otherwise agreed upon) and will terminate future opportunities with CSY.
Payments made by the host's participants will be reimbursed within 2-10 weeks after the retreat cancellation. If the host is required to cancel due to a pandemic or a natural disaster, the retreat will be rescheduled for a safer time, and a credit note will be issued for participants.
If CSY cancels the retreat for any reason, the participants will be reimbursed 2-10 weeks after the cancellation date, or the participant can select a credit note for the total amount paid. The host will be issued a credit note for the total amount paid as long as adhering to the host requirements listed in 2.1.
