The Art Of Surfing Cancellations Definitions

“Cancellation” is defined as not attending your scheduled course, camp or retreat, including postponing or rescheduling. “You” refers to the guest booking a 'The Art Of Surfing' Camp. “We” refers to The Art Of Surfing. It is your responsibility to read and understand our cancellation policy before making a reservation. Naturally, no one books with the intention of cancelling or postponing their course, camp or retreat, but unexpected things do happen, so please consider purchasing travel cancellation insurance.

 

Guest Cancellation Policy

Depending on when you cancel, cancellation fees may apply. Fees are determined by the following schedule (“the Cancellation fee schedule”):

  • If you cancel 15 days or more before your course, camp or retreat start date, you will be refunded the full camp amount.
  • If you cancel 14 days or less before your course, camp or retreat start date, you will forfeit your entire payment.

Due to our need to commit to accommodation and other arrangements in advance, exceptions to our policy cannot be made for any reason.

A guest can change to another camp 15 days or more before your course, camp or retreat start date, subject to availability or request a credit note.

We do not offer credit for arriving late or leaving early. 

 

The Art Of Surfing Cancellation Policy

If The Art Of Surfing has to cancel a course, camp or retreat due to reasons outside of their control, such as government-issued requirements (i.e covid level announcements), natural disasters, pandemics, etc, then the cancellation policy fees are determined by the following schedule ("Taos Cancellation fee schedule")

  • If the course, camp or retreat is cancelled 15 days or more before your camp start date, you will be refunded the full camp amount
  • If the course, camp or retreat is cancelled 14 days or less before your camp start date, there will be no refund

The Art Of Surfing is not responsible for any loss of expenses you may incur due to the ("Taos Cancellation fee schedule"). If applicable, you will need to consult the insurance company that you purchased your travel cancellation policy through for any possible reimbursement you may be entitled to.

 

If The Art Of Surfing must cancel or change a scheduled course, camp or retreat date for any other reason whatsoever, you’re entitled to transfer your full camp payment to another camp (either scheduled or at some future time). Alternatively, you may request a refund of your applicable payment, which will be accommodated for insofar as is possible.

The Art Of Surfing is not responsible for your expenses incurred in preparation for any cancelled retreat, such as other accommodation, airline tickets, loss of work, and/or other costs associated with preparing for your trip.

Depending on the policy and conditions, travel cancellation insurance may pay for some or all cancellation fees. Strictly for informational purposes and not to be relied upon, with most agencies, this type of insurance must be purchased within 14 days of making your reservation to optimise your level of protection.
