Terms and Conditions
These are the Terms and Conditions of Sale for all courses, workshops, retreats, or any other services sold by Allison Pond trading as The Transformational Writing Project (“The Transformational Writing Project”) on our website, transformationalwritingproject.com.
Please read these terms and conditions carefully, as they apply to all transactions between us and can only be waived or varied in writing signed by us. By proceeding with a purchase with us, you’re indicating to us that you’ve read, understood and agreed to enter into a binding agreement with us on these terms and conditions. If you have any questions or concerns about our terms and conditions, Services or Website, or any purchase you make through the Website, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
Payment
You agree to pay us the purchase price for the Services listed on the Website (subject of course to the proviso above, in the case of accidental errors and omissions). Prices are listed in American dollars.
The payment structure for all Services includes a full fee upfront payment. We currently accept payment via credit card. We may offer other ways to pay from time to time, such as through other third-party payment gateways or processors or electronic funds transfer into our nominated bank account.
If any such payment is returned or denied for any reason, we may terminate this Agreement at our absolute discretion, unless or until payment is received.
Risk
Risk in the Services supplied under this Agreement passes to you once the Services are made available to you; that is, once the course, workshop, or retreat begins.
Access
Once we’ve received your payment and confirmed your order, you’ll receive an email with information to access the Services. If you have any technical problems, please contact us for assistance.
Conduct
You agree to follow our rules for participation in the services. You understand and agree that you must treat our members with respect and to refrain from conduct which is otherwise illegal, discriminatory, harassing, threatening, sexist, defamatory, vilifying, bullying, trolling, misleading or deceptive.
Failure to comply with this clause amounts to a breach of this Agreement and The Transformational Writing Project may suspend or limit your access to the Services or terminate this Agreement.
Events Beyond Control
The Transformational Writing Project will not be liable for any loss caused by any failure to observe the terms and conditions of this Agreement, where such failure is occasioned by causes beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, by fire, flood, other extreme weather event or natural disaster, riot, strike, act of war, terrorist attack, nuclear event, pandemic, epidemic, widespread contagion, quarantine restriction, critical infrastructure failure, severe disruption to virtual infrastructure, restriction or prohibition or any other action by any government or semi government authority, or major injury or illness of key personnel. We may choose to cancel your order, or otherwise to complete your order once things have returned to normal. If we expect a major delay, we’ll contact you to discuss a suitable solution.
Advice, Information and Instructional Videos
We may give you advice, recommendations, information, instruction or assistance in relation to the Services and in material provided to you through the Services, believing it to be accurate, appropriate and reliable at the time but we don’t give any warranty of accuracy, appropriateness or reliability.
We won’t accept any liability or responsibility (including liability for negligence) for any loss suffered because of your or any other person’s reliance on information or advice we provide, unless otherwise required by law.
Cancellation Policy
Participants wishing to cancel their enrollment must submit notification of withdrawal in writing prior to the beginning of the course, workshop, retreat or other service. It is recommended participants contact The Transformational Writing Project within 24 hours of submitting a cancellation request to confirm receipt. The Transformational Writing Project accepts no responsibility for and will not be liable for non-receipt of messages or transmissions.
Refund Policy
We are not required to provide a refund if you change your mind about the course, workshop, retreat, or other service that you chose to enroll into.
However, while course fees are non-refundable, students may have extenuating circumstances that prevent them from undertaking their course. Where evidence can be successfully provided to support the student’s circumstances, course fees may be refunded or partially refunded as per the following:
A full refund is provided if enrollment is cancelled within four weeks of the start date of the course, workshop, retreat, or other service.
A 50% refund is permitted if the enrollment is cancelled within two weeks of the start date of the course, workshop, retreat, or other service.
No refund will be provided where you have attended any part of a course, workshop, retreat, or other service.
Enrollment is transferrable to another party with written notice to info@transformationalwritingproject.com prior to the start of the course, workshop, retreat, or other service.

In the event of a breach or threatened breach by you of this clause, you acknowledge we will be irreparably harmed, and monetary damages will be an insufficient remedy.

We may make permitted variations to these conditions at any time by updating this document and giving notice to you by posting a copy on the Website, or otherwise notifying you in writing. The variations will take effect thirty (30) days after the date of posting. Your continued access and use of the Services will indicate your acceptance of the variations.
Permitted variations will be limited to those reasonably required by us to protect our legitimate business interests and which do not seriously impact the benefit you receive under this Agreement.
Severance
If any part of these conditions is found to be void or unenforceable by a Court of competent jurisdiction, that part will be severed, and the rest of the Agreement will remain in force.
Assignment
The rights of each party under this Agreement are personal. You may only assign, charge, transfer or otherwise encumber or dispose of any of their rights under this Agreement with our prior written consent, which can only be withheld on reasonable grounds. We may assign, charge, transfer or otherwise encumber or dispose of any of their rights under this Agreement on giving you notice in writing.
Entire Agreement
The contents of this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede any prior negotiations, representations, understandings or arrangements made between the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, whether orally or in writing.
Waiver

Term
This Agreement commences on the date that it is accepted by you and will remain in force until each party has fulfilled their obligations under this Agreement, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement or general law.
Termination
We may terminate this Agreement at any time on ten (10) days’ written notice to you. All disclaimers and limitations of liability will survive termination. Any accrued rights or remedies to which either party is entitled will not be affected.
