Terms of Service for Retreat Leaders
- It is the retreat leader’s responsibility to carefully check the reservation and ensure that the particulars contained therein are correct.
- The retreat leader shall pay Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat a non-refundable, non-transferable deposit in the sum of 20% of the total amount due to hold the date for the retreat. All refunds come through insurance. Five (5) rooms must be sold for the retreat to run. Selling of a room can be either single, double and with permission from Floating Leaf, triple occupancy. The prices quoted are based on the sale of 8 rooms but we will not cancel if less than 8 rooms are sold. This is simply the formula used to price retreats. 6-12 rooms may be reserved initially. Non-residential options may be available after 10 rooms have been sold at full price.
Payments from the retreat leader to Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat break down into three installments.Payment 1: 20% deposit to hold the dates and begin promotions. The retreat is not confirmed until payment clears our account.Payment 2: 20% of the balance is due 4 months (120 days) prior to arrival.Payment 3: The remaining balance is due 2 months (60 days) prior to arrival. This final payment is based on the actual occupancy at this time which may be different from previous invoices. Floating Leaf is not responsible for any fees charged by Paypal, banks, or other institutions. We simply credit the retreat leader’s account for the exact net amount we actually receive. The 6th room will be provided free of charge for the retreat leader only if 5 rooms are sold. Once 5 rooms are sold (single or double occupancy), the retreat leader will receive a place in the 6th room for free. This also includes everything on the itinerary (excursions, meals, activities, etc.). The retreat leader may choose to sell the other spot in the room to a participant at full price. If there is a second retreat leader, they can occupy the same room at 30% off the double occupancy rate or they can have their own room at a 15% discount. The Co-retreat leader to receive the discount must be named at the time of the initial deposit when the retreat is officially confirmed. Floating Leaf wanted to include insurance for all retreats but due to international laws, we can’t effectively do that. We wanted to make it mandatory as well but we want to offer our leaders choices. You may choose not to protect yourself with the easy-to-obtain insurance and that is your risk. So instead we offer a discount on the retreat that more than pays for any insurance you may like to obtain (and with the current special discount you will have a lot of money left over as well). There are many options and this method gives you freedom to choose the insurance that suits you best. We are not affiliated with any insurance companies but do recommend Global+ and IMG as they have helped many of our leaders receive a full refund and made it easy as well. This is why there is no risk and leaders can get a full refund for any reason should they need to. Refunds will be through this insurance and not through Floating Leaf directly. Not using the funds we offer you to purchase the insurance is strictly at your risk. We make it easy to protect yourself and your investment. - The room breakdown for guests is due 75 days prior to arrival so we can prepare the invoice for final payment. Preparation of the invoice may take up to 48 hours. If any payment is not received by the deadlines as stated on the invoice, a 2% late fee will be issued. All deadlines are Bali time. If payment plus the 2% is not received by 53 days prior to arrival, the dates may be released and the deposit will be forfeited. There will be no refunds, exchanges, or other concessions made if payment is not received. But refunds can still be claimed through insurance. We appreciate your cooperation, as a great deal of planning needs to occur prior to your arrival and we want to make it very special for you and your guests. Bookings within the last 8 weeks must be paid in full at time of booking. Payment can be made via wire transfer or Paypal. Additional participants can always be added after the final invoice.
- The room breakdown will be provided to Floating Leaf at the 75 day prior to arrival mark. An invoice will be prepared based on the room breakdown. Payment for the rooms will be non-refundable at this point. Any unsold rooms may be open to the public at this time.
- The invoice is the contract between the retreat leader and Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat. Payments must be made in the manner listed on the invoice only. The payment of the invoice implies understanding and agreement of the terms and conditions. At the 8-week to arrival date, if 5 rooms are not sold, Floating Leaf has two options.
- Floating Leaf may cancel the retreat. As previously stated, all payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. But we will do all we can to have it run as it is in both our best interests as well as those participating. We may need to alter the itinerary slightly to accommodate fewer people, but we will work with you to determine the best result. We may also need to raise the price of some activities to account for less particpants.
- Floating Leaf has the right to also sell the rooms to persons that may not partake in the retreat. Rooms will be sold on a 1st come, 1st serve basis.
- Should the leader not provide the required materials such as itinerary, participant agreements, flight information, room assignments, etc. some services may not be provided or the retreat may be canceled. We want to provide the best experience possible and we need the help of the leader to provide the necessary information in a timely manner.
- If payments do not clear our account by the set due date as outlined on the invoice, a 2% late fee will be accessed and reaccessed every 5 days for all missed due dates. Outstanding balances of more than 7 days are grounds for cancellation and forfeiture of deposit. Refunds can be obtained through insurance. All deadlines are Bali time.
