- Upon making the initial deposit payment:
- A binding contract is formed between you and VISITING WRLD.

VISITING WRLD reserves the right to reject or cancel any booking if Terms are violated.
2.2 Payments & Installment Plans

The final payment is due no later than seven (7) days before the retreat begins. The final payment may be slightly higher or lower than the others, and you may pay ahead at any time.
- If a payment is missed, you have fourteen (14) days to make it. If we have not heard from you by then, we send a final notice, and if you do not pay or contact us within forty-eight (48) hours of it, your booking is cancelled and all payments are forfeited (Refund and Cancellation Policy, Section 4.2).

2.3 Cancellations & Refunds
By Guest:
- Deposits are non-refundable.
- If unable to attend, a Guest may transfer their booking once, to another VISITING WRLD retreat starting within twelve months or to another person, for a fee set by how far ahead they ask: $250 at 90 or more days before the retreat, $500 at 45 to 89 days, $750 at 31 to 44 days. No transfer is available within 30 days of the retreat, except for a serious emergency. Full terms are in our Refund and Cancellation Policy, Section 7.
By VISITING WRLD:

Choosing a lower-value retreat is the Guest’s own choice and is not refunded. A refund is issued only if we have no scheduled retreat to offer (Refund and Cancellation Policy, Section 5.2).
