By booking a place on any Yogacampus Event or by being accepted onto a Yogacampus Diploma Course, you have agreed to the following terms and conditions.

Definitions

  • A ‘Diploma Course’ means the Yogacampus Teacher Training Diploma or the Yogacampus Yoga Therapy Diploma.

Contractual Relationship

  • By booking a place on an Event or by being accepted onto a Diploma Course, you have entered into a contractual relationship with us. These terms and conditions (together with any other terms and conditions specific to the Event or Diploma Course published on our website and/or in any communication from us to you) form an integral part of that contract. If you make a booking for an Event on behalf of another person, you warrant to us that you have their authority to do so.
  • By booking a place on any Event or applying for acceptance onto a Diploma Course, you warrant that you meet, or will, by the start of the Event or Diploma Course, meet, any eligibility criteria for that Event or Diploma Course published on our website or in any other published material related to the Event or Diploma Course.
  • By booking a place on any Event or applying for acceptance onto a Diploma Course, you acknowledge that the full cost of that Event or Diploma Course becomes payable on booking or acceptance, notwithstanding that we may in our discretion agree to payment by instalments or on any other deferred or alternative basis.
  • Occasionally we may offer time limited discounts on courses and events as part of a marketing campaign. This discount will not be applied retroactively to existing bookings for that course or event.
  • We may change these terms and conditions from time to time and will publish those changed terms and conditions on our website. We have no responsibility to provide you with any other notice of such changes.
  • If any part of these terms and conditions, or any other part of the contract between us, is deemed unenforceable, that part shall be severed from the remainder, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Cancellation

  • If, having booked a place on an Event, or having been accepted onto a Diploma Course, you fail to participate in all or any part of that Event or Diploma Course, we shall have no obligation to refund any amount paid by you in respect of that Event or Diploma Course, unless you have given us notice of cancellation before the start of the Event or Diploma Course, in which event the provisions below shall apply.
  • You may cancel your booking for an Event so long as you do so in writing at least 30 days before the start of the Event. In that case, we will refund you in sterling the amount you have paid us in respect of that Event, less an administration fee of 10% of the price of the Event or £25 (increased from £20 on 24 March 2024), whichever is the greater, subject to a maximum administration fee of £50. If you cancel fewer than 30 days before the start of the Event there will be no refund, unless we are able to transfer your booking to another participant, in which case we will refund you in sterling the amount you have paid us in respect of that Event, less an administration fee calculated as set out above. We shall not be responsible for any expenses which you may incur or have incurred in respect of the Event, for example in respect of travel or accommodation or any exchange rate losses.
  • Occasionally we may allow you to pay for an Event in stage payments, for which we charge a stage payment fee. If you cancel your booking for the Event in writing at least 30 days before the start date we will refund you in sterling the amount you have paid less the stage payment fee and less the administration fee referred to above. If you cancel fewer than 30 days before the start date of the Event you will remain liable to pay the full course fee unless we are able to transfer your booking to another participant, in which case we will refund you in sterling the amount you have paid us in respect of that Event, less the stage payment fee and less an administration fee calculated as set out above.
  • You may cancel your place on a Diploma Course so long as you do so in writing at least 60 days before the start of the Diploma Course. In that case, we will refund you in sterling the amount you have paid us in respect of that Diploma Course, less an administration fee of £100. If you cancel fewer than 60 days before the start of the Diploma Course, there will be no refund unless we are able to replace you with another candidate whom we consider suitable to participate in that Diploma Course, in which case we will refund you in sterling the amount you have paid us in respect of the Diploma Course, less an administration fee of £100. We shall not be responsible for any expenses which you may incur or have incurred in respect of the Diploma Course, for example in respect of travel or accommodation or any exchange rate losses.
  • Once accepted on a Diploma Course, should you decide to withdraw from that course before its conclusion, you agree to settle any outstanding course fees, including any unpaid future monthly instalments, on our first demand. We shall not be responsible for any expenses which you may incur or have incurred in respect of the Diploma Course, for example in respect of travel or accommodation or any exchange rate losses.
  • We reserve the right to cancel or curtail all or part of any Event or Diploma Course for any reason, though we will endeavour only to do so in the event of exceptional circumstances which mean that we are unable to offer, or continue to offer, the Event or Diploma Course as advertised, or if there are, in our opinion, insufficient numbers booked onto the Event or accepted onto the Diploma Course for it to be commercially viable. Should this happen, we will notify you promptly and will refund you in sterling the full amount you have paid us in respect of the Event or Diploma Course and you will have no liability in respect of any payments in respect of that Event or Diploma Course falling due after we give you notice of cancellation. We shall not be responsible for any expenses which you may incur or have incurred in respect of the Event or Diploma Course, for example in respect of travel or accommodation or any exchange rate losses.
  • If you choose to cancel or curtail your participation in an Event or Diploma Course, or if we cancel or curtail an Event or Diploma Course, or if we exclude you from participation or further participation in any Event or Diploma Course in accordance with these terms and conditions, our liability to you shall be limited to a refund as specified above. We shall not be responsible for any expenses which you may incur or have incurred in respect of the Event or Diploma Course, for example in respect of travel or accommodation or any exchange rate losses.

If you are participating in the Event or Diploma Course via the internet:

  • you are in breach of any of these terms and conditions, or any other terms and conditions specific to the Event or Diploma Course published on our website and/or in any communication from us to you;
  • you engage in abusive or threatening behaviour, or language of a profane or discriminatory nature, during your participation in any Event or Diploma Course, or in any communication with any of our staff or teachers;
  • your behaviour as a participant in any Event or Diploma Course is disruptive to your fellow participants;
  • you do anything which may reasonably be considered to bring Yogacampus or any of the teachers of any Event or Diploma Course into disrepute; or
  • (if the Event is delivered wholly or partly in a face to face setting) you show symptoms or signs of any infectious or contagious medical condition.

We also reserve the right to exclude anyone engaging in abusive, threatening, or disruptive behaviour, or language of a profane or discriminatory nature, or doing anything which may reasonably be considered to bring Yogacampus or any of the teachers of any Event or Diploma Course into disrepute, from participation in any future Event or Diploma Course.
