Cancellation Policy / Politique d’annulation

This policy applies to smaller one-day events. We would like to emphasize that even when the participation fee is low ($10-100) it is important to show up as last moment cancellations make us look bad as a group in front of partners that help us to create affordable events.

1. Cancellation At Least 7 Days In Advance: For cancellations made at least 7 days in advance of the scheduled event, no penalties will be incurred. Participants can request a full refund. In some cases when we pre-pay for spots with our hosts, we might need to fill in the spot in order to issue a refund.
2. Cancellation Within 7 Days: In the unfortunate event that a cancellation is requested less than 7 days before the scheduled event, or no shows the following policy will apply:

• Refund: Cancellations made less than 7 days of the event will not be eligible for a refund.
• Penalty: A three months ineligibility to attend future events. We leave a right to cancel any registration of the person under penalty in this time frame. After the three-month ineligibility period has elapsed, participants can once again sign up for future events without any restrictions.

Cette politique s’applique aux événements d’une journée. Nous tenons à souligner que même lorsque les frais de participation sont bas (10-100$), il est important d’être présent car les annulations de dernière minute nous font mal paraître en tant que groupe devant des partenaires qui nous aident à créer des événements abordables.

1. Annulation au moins 7 jours à l’avance : Pour les annulations effectuées au moins 7 jours avant l’événement prévu, aucune pénalité ne sera encourue. Les participant.e.s peuvent demander un remboursement intégral. Dans certains cas, lorsque nous pré-payons des places chez nos guides, nous devrons peut-être remplir la place afin d’émettre un remboursement.
2. Annulation dans les 7 jours : Dans le cas malheureux où une annulation est demandée moins de 7 jours avant l’événement prévu, ou en cas de non-présentation, la politique suivante s’appliquera:

• Remboursement: Les annulations effectuées à moins de 7 jours de l’événement ne donneront pas droit à un remboursement.
• Pénalité : Une inéligibilité de trois mois pour assister aux événements futurs. Nous nous réservons le droit d’annuler toute inscription de la personne sous peine de pénalité dans ce délai. Une fois la période d’inéligibilité de trois mois écoulée, les participants peuvent à nouveau s’inscrire à de futurs événements sans aucune restriction.
