PAYMENTS

For all Retreats, the full payment for all participants of the Retreat must be paid online with the booking. 

If the final balance is not received 72 hours before the start of the Retreat and there is no concise reason as to why, Unplug reserves the right to treat the Client’s booking as cancelled.

Please ensure Unplug is on your contact list so our emails don’t go to your junk folder!

Payments can be made with all major credit cards.

Unplug reserves the right to keep your credit card information until the end of the Retreat or until the owner, an employee or an agent has confirmed that no damage to the property and its belongings has been noted.

 

REFUND / CANCELLATION

We understand that unexpected events can arise that can affect your plans.

If you cancel more than 72 hours before the Retreat start, you may request a partial refund (80% of the total price of the Retreat) or transfer your payment to another Retreat taking place within one calendar year.

All Retreat payments become non-refundable less than 72 hours before the Retreat start.

 

BALANCE TRANSFER

Full Retreat payments can be transferred to another Retreat taking place within one calendar year, if you notify us 72 hours or more before the Retreat starts.

Unplug is not responsible for any fees incurred due to currency exchange or fees charged by your credit card/bank for transferring funds or processing funds in another currency.

Unplug reserves the right to alter the prices of any of the Retreats shown on our website excluding already booked and paid Retreats.

Unless stated otherwise, the price of your Retreat includes each and all of the component parts described within your booking confirmation invoice.

Not included in the price of your Retreat are any additional excursions or activities which are not confirmed as being part of your Retreat arrangements.  Additionally, any items or services purchased during a Retreat are not included in the cost of your Retreat unless specifically stated.

 

MEDICAL CONDITIONS & SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

The Client must inform Unplug on our booking form of any medical conditions, pregnancy, disability or any other mental and or physical condition which may affect fitness to perform planned activities, including medications you are currently taking. Failure to notify us may result in the Client being refused certain activities during the Retreat at the Client’s own expense. Some Retreats may be unsuitable for Clients due to age, mobility, disability, pregnancy or physical or mental conditions, please email if you have concerns.

It is absolutely vital that you are accurate with your fitness level and medical conditions for your own safety.

Unplug will do its best to meet special requests including dietary or physical limitations but such requests may not always be possible depending on the Retreat, in which case Unplug reserves the right to refuse Clients with certain conditions.

Unplug will do its best to meet Client’s special requests including dietary restrictions, but such requests do not form part of the Contract and therefore Unplug is not liable for not providing these requests.

As a client, you MUST carry medical insurance. Medical facilities vary from country to country and Unplug will do its absolute best to bring you to a proper medical facility, as needed, but makes no representations and gives no warranties in relation to the standard of such treatment.

 

CANCELLATION OF A RETREAT BY THE CLIENT

If you cancel more than 72 hours before the Retreat start, you may request a partial refund (80% of the total price of the Retreat).

All Retreat payments become non-refundable less than 72 hours before the Retreat start.

If you cancel more than 72 hours before the Retreat start your full balance can be rolled over to another date of your same trip within one calendar year. If your trip is not offered again, you can switch services and fees can be transferred.

Fees can be refunded in special circumstances including:

• Serious injury or illness of the client

• Serious injury or illness of close family member

• In case of Forces Majeures

​

CANCELLATION OF A RETREAT BY UNPLUG

Unplug will not cancel a Retreat except for unusual or unforeseen circumstances outside Unplug’s control. When a Retreat is cancelled by Unplug before the agreed date of departure for any reason other than the fault of the Client, the Client can either:

Transfer their payment to another Retreat taking place within one calendar year, or:

Receive a full refund of all fees paid under the contract as soon as possible.

If the Client is offered a refund but requests an alternate Retreat of a higher value than that originally booked, then the Client must pay the difference in price. Where after departure a significant element of the trip contracted for cannot be provided, Unplug will make suitable alternative arrangements for the continuation of the trip. If it is not possible to provide a suitable alternative or the Client reasonably rejects any suitable alternatives, Unplug will provide the Client a refund of 15% of the full payment of the Retreat.

 

TRAVEL & HEALTH INSURANCE

Unplug Retreats do not include national or international travel expenses to the location of the Retreat. The Retreat and this contract start when the Client enters the property of the Retreat in Stolzembourg, Luxembourg.

Unplug recommends Clients obtain travel medical insurance. This insurance must cover personal injury and emergency medical expenses including, but not limited to, helicopter evacuation, air ambulance and repatriation.

It is strongly recommended the coverage be extended to include cancellation, curtailment, and all other expenses that might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience occurring to the Client. Unplug shall have no liability for loss, theft of or damage to baggage or personal effects. Losses due to ordinary wear and tear, and other natural causes are not reimbursable. Unplug cannot accept responsibility for and in no event shall be liable for loss or damage of personal belongings, valuables or other articles stolen or left on the premises.

The Client acknowledges that the cost of Unplug Retreats does not include insurance and that the Client has been advised to obtain separate coverage at an additional cost.

​

EVACUATION PROCEDURES AND COSTS

Unplug Retreat Leaders, local guides or other representatives’ decisions will at all times be final on all matters likely to affect the safety and well-being of the trip. We reserve the right to prohibit any traveller from continuing on a trip with no right of refund if, in our opinion, that traveller’s actions pose a threat to the safety of others, to the wildlife, themselves, or if the traveller’s actions and/or behaviours are harming the enjoyment of the trip for others.

Evacuations costs are to be covered by the person being evacuated.

 

CLAIMS & COMPLAINTS

If a Client has a complaint against Unplug, the Client must first inform the Retreat Leader or Guide at the earliest opportunity (whilst on the Retreat) to allow the grievance to be rectified. Failure to indicate dissatisfaction whilst on Retreat will result in the Client’s ability to claim compensation from Unplug being extinguished or at least reduced. If satisfaction is still not reached through these means on Retreat and Unplug deems the claim valid, we will refund our customer 15% of this purchased service. Valid claims may be a major deviation from the schedule, absence of a promised service, unavailability of amenities shown on the website, etc.

​

SAFETY & TRIP WELL-BEING

We take your safety and well-being very seriously, which is why we partner with trained professionals for our Retreats. However, you are ultimately responsible for your safety. To avoid possibly dangerous situations, it is extremely important that you obey any rules and regulations imposed by the Unplug Retreat Leaders and instructions given by them.

If your health or fitness changes between the time of booking and your trip departure date, you must notify us of these changes before the Retreat starts.
