8.1 We may cancel any Retreat due to events or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

8.2 Although we rarely do so, we may also reschedule any Retreat at any time. We may also change the location or content of any Retreat and/or substitute the instructor (s) for a Retreat for another at any time.

If we do cancel, reschedule or make any changes as described in clauses 8.1 and 8.2 above, we will notify you by telephone or by email and will endeavour to do so as soon as possible after making those changes. We will refund you the price of a Retreat you have booked or, if applicable, the affected part of it (for example, the cancelled day) if:

• We cancel all or part of the Retreat per clause 8.1 or because a change to the content of the Retreat under clause 8.2 means that we are no longer able to accommodate your or your attendees’ dietary requirements;
