Terms and Conditions

Please see below for the terms and conditions for the Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat, Workshops & Online Courses.

Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat

Place confirmed

Your place will be confirmed once we have received full payment.

If you select to pay an initial non-refundable deposit, the remaining amount will be due one month before the event on 22 January 2024. If the remainder is not paid by the due date, your place may be given to another attendee.

If you are paying in installments, you will need to confirm the weekly, fortnightly, or monthly payment plan when you register and within a week of your initial payment. We will let you know about payment due dates in advance.

Transfer

If you’ve registered but then can’t attend, it’s fine for another person to attend in your place as long as you let us know beforehand.

Cancellations & refunds

Should you wish to cancel your registration at least 30 days before the commencement of the event, we’ll refund you in full minus any deposit paid or if no deposit paid, minus a $50 admin fee.

If you cancel within 30 days of the event, we’ll refund 25% of the purchase price.

If you cancel within 7 days of the event, or do a no-show on the day of the event, you’ll be liable for the full purchase price.

We may be able to provide you with a larger refund if you were registered into a workshop with a waiting list and someone else can take your place.

Change to content, postponement & event cancellation

In the unlikely event of cancellation of the event, the liability of the organisers is limited to the return of paid fees.

The organisers may alter the times, dates and speakers of this event by notice to you at any time. This may include postponement or a shift to online if we are unable to meet in person on the original date.

If we are unable to meet in person, the organisers will explore online options to present this content.

If we have to reschedule, due to covid or other circumstances, bookings will be moved across to a new date and if you are not able to attend on the new date, your registration will be refunded.

While we are sorry if this causes inconvenience, the organisers will not be liable for any loss, damages or sadness arising from such changes.
