CANCELLATIONS

Arrow Yoga guarantees that all scheduled trip departures booked and secured with a valid deposit will depart as indicated on the applicable confirmation, subject to reasonable itinerary changes as described in these Terms or good faith health and safety concerns. This guarantee is not applicable in the case of Force Majeure (natural disasters including global pandemic, weather conditions, or any forces out of Arrow Yoga's control)

If a trip is cancelled by Arrow Yoga before the date of departure for reasons other than Force Majeure and the cancellation is not caused by your fault or negligence, you will have the choice to transfer credit to another trip, to be used within 1 year in the amount of your paid funds to Arrow Yoga. Arrow Yoga is not responsible for any expenses or damages incurred as a result of trip cancellation including preparation costs, airline tickets, travel documents or other expenses.

In the case of Force Majeure, including and not limited to all forces out of Arrow Yoga reasonable control such as, natural disasters, global pandemics, death, illness, etc; all payments made to Arrow Yoga will be forfeited. Arrow Yoga is not responsible for any expenses or damages incurred as a result of trip cancellation due to Force Majeure.

***COVID-19***

For the safety and protection of our travelers, we encourage all of our travelers to be fully vaccinated.

If you receive a positive test result, you will have to forfeit your trip to a future trip date (you must schedule a trip within the 1 year period from your original scheduled trip date) and may use the full credit from your trip.

 

We politely request that you consider booking the most direct path to your trip destination, to avoid potential risks of infection. If you wish to extend your international trip beyond the dates of your scheduled trip, we kindly ask that you try to travel after the Arrow Yoga tour vs before.

 

Depending on the safety/infection rates of the country we are visiting, our itinerary, including meals out, and excursions, may be altered purely for your protection.
