3.2 Depending on the specific retreat booked, your booking may include accommodation, meals, surf coaching, surf equipment use, hosted activities, yoga or recovery sessions; sauna, hot tub or other recovery facility use where included; surf theory, video analysis, social experiences, pre-arrival information and local recommendations.
3.3 Unless expressly stated in your booking confirmation, the price does not include:
• travel to or from Cornwall or the retreat venue;
• flights, trains, taxis, car hire, fuel, parking or public transport;
• travel insurance, personal insurance or medical insurance;

3.4 Retreat itineraries, timings and activity descriptions are provided as a guide only. Surf conditions, weather, tides, safety decisions, supplier availability, staffing, venue requirements, group needs and operational requirements may require changes to the order, timing, location or format of activities.
3.5 Peak Boutique Surf Retreat makes every reasonable effort to ensure that the information, descriptions, photography, videos, illustrations and other content published on our website, social media channels and marketing materials are accurate and fairly represent the experience we aim to provide.
However, retreats may take place at different locations and may vary according to venue, season, availability, weather, local suppliers and operational requirements. As a result, photography, imagery and other promotional content should be regarded as representative and illustrative of the style, quality and nature of the Peak experience rather than an exact depiction of every retreat, property, room, facility, activity, meal or amenity.
We reserve the right to make reasonable changes to accommodation, facilities, equipment, suppliers, instructors, activities, menus, itineraries and other aspects of the retreat where reasonably necessary due to operational requirements, weather, safety considerations, supplier availability or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control, provided that such changes do not materially alter the overall nature of the retreat purchased.
Reasonable differences between published content and the retreat ultimately provided shall not, of themselves, constitute a breach of contract or entitle a guest to a refund, price reduction or compensation.
3.6 No refund or compensation is payable for late arrival, early departure, missed meals, missed surf sessions, missed activities or any unused element of the retreat where this is caused by your choice, illness, injury, travel delay, personal circumstances, failure to attend at the scheduled time or failure to follow reasonable instructions.
-
4.1 Peak does not sell flights, public passenger transport or vehicle hire as part of your booking. Guests are responsible for arranging their own travel to and from the retreat unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.
4.2 Our retreats are intended to be accommodation-led residential surf retreats in Cornwall and are not intended to be sold as package holidays. Unless we expressly state otherwise in writing for a specific booking, your booking is not intended to be a package holiday and is not intended to be covered by the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018.
4.3 If, despite clause 4.2, any booking is determined by law to constitute a package travel contract, linked travel arrangement or similar regulated arrangement, nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights you may have under the applicable regulations or any other mandatory consumer protection laws.
4.4 We may use trusted third-party suppliers to provide elements of the retreat, including surf schools, surf coaches, yoga teachers, chefs, accommodation providers, transport providers, equipment providers, activity providers and other service providers.
4.5 We will take reasonable care when selecting suppliers, but suppliers may have their own terms, safety rules, waivers, insurance arrangements, risk assessments and participation requirements. You agree to follow any reasonable supplier instructions and complete any supplier forms required for participation.
4.6 Activities, taxis, restaurants, treatments, equipment hire, excursions, travel arrangements or other services that you book or pay for independently are not part of your booking with Peak, even if we recommend them, help you find them or provide local suggestions.
4.7 Your contract for any independently booked service is with the relevant third-party provider. Peak is not responsible for the acts, omissions, availability, pricing, safety standards, terms, cancellation policy or contractual performance of independent third-party providers that are not included in your confirmed booking with Peak.
4.8 Guests are responsible for arranging their own travel to and from Cornwall and the retreat venue unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing. Where local transfers or local travel arrangements are expressly included in your booking, they are provided only for retreat logistics and may be adapted due to weather, surf conditions, timing, safety, group needs, supplier availability or operational reasons. Unless we expressly state otherwise in writing, Peak does not provide flights, public passenger transport, airport transfers, long-distance travel or a regulated transport service.

5.1 The price of your retreat will be the price shown on our website, product page, checkout page or otherwise agreed with us in writing at the time we confirm your booking. Prices are shown in pounds sterling unless stated otherwise.
5.2 Unless your booking confirmation states a different amount, a deposit of 50% of the total booking price is payable at the time of booking to reserve your place.
5.3 The remaining balance is due no later than 30 days before the retreat check-in date.
5.4 If you book 30 days or fewer before the retreat check-in date, the full booking price is payable at the time of booking.
5.5 If you choose a payment plan, you authorise the deposit and remaining balance payments to be taken according to the payment schedule shown at checkout or confirmed in your booking confirmation.
5.6 You are responsible for ensuring that your payment card or chosen payment method remains valid and has sufficient funds available when a scheduled payment is due.
5.7 If a scheduled payment fails, we may contact you and/or the booking platform may ask you to update your payment details. You must arrange payment promptly.
5.8 If you do not pay the balance or any other amount due by the payment deadline, we may treat your booking as cancelled by you. In that case, the cancellation terms in section 6 will apply.
5.9 We may correct obvious pricing, availability or booking errors. If an obvious error affects your confirmed booking, we will contact you promptly. You may choose to accept the corrected position or cancel for a refund of sums paid for that booking.
5.10 Any taxes, payment processing charges or platform charges will be handled as shown at checkout or in your booking confirmation.
-
6.1 To cancel a booking, the Lead Guest must notify us in writing by email. The cancellation date is the date on which we receive your written cancellation.
6.2 Free cancellation applies where we receive your written cancellation before the final balance due date stated in your booking confirmation. Unless your booking confirmation states otherwise, the final balance due date is 30 days before the retreat check-in date.
6.3 If we receive your written cancellation on or after the final balance due date, a cancellation charge of 100% of the total booking price will apply.
6.4 This means that, where cancellation takes place on or after the final balance due date, your deposit, balance payment and any other sums paid for that booking will not be refunded, except where required by law or where we are able to reduce the cancellation charge under section 6.6.
6.5 If your balance payment is due and has not yet been paid at the time of cancellation, you remain responsible for the full booking price where cancellation takes place 30 days or fewer before check-in.
6.6 If we are able to resell your place after your cancellation, we may reduce the cancellation charge to reflect the net amount actually recovered, after deducting reasonable administration costs, supplier costs, payment processing charges, discounts required to resell the place and any other unrecoverable costs.
6.7 We are not required to resell your place, but we may try to do so where it is reasonably practical and commercially sensible.
6.8 No refund or reduction is payable for late arrival, early departure, missed meals, missed surf sessions, missed activities or any unused element of the retreat where this is caused by your choice, illness, injury, travel delay, personal circumstances, failure to attend at the scheduled time or failure to follow reasonable instructions.
6.9 We strongly recommend that all guests take out suitable travel insurance that covers cancellation, illness, injury, travel disruption and personal belongings.
6.10 Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights.

Item description7.1 We aim to deliver the retreat experience as advertised, but Peak retreats take place in a real coastal environment. Weather, tides, surf conditions, beach access, safety decisions, supplier availability, staffing, venue requirements, group needs and operational requirements may all affect the order, timing, location, content or format of the retreat.
7.2 You acknowledge that surfing, sea-based activities and outdoor coastal experiences are naturally weather, tide and condition dependent. No specific wave quality, surf size, weather, water temperature, beach location, instructor, activity order, group arrangement or itinerary timing is guaranteed.
7.3 Peak may make reasonable changes to the retreat at any time where we consider it necessary or appropriate for safety, conditions, guest experience, supplier availability, staffing, venue requirements or the smooth running of the retreat.
7.4 These changes may include, without limitation:
• changing the order or timing of activities;
• moving surf coaching or hosted activities to a different beach or location;
• delaying, shortening, adapting or rescheduling a surf session or activity;
• replacing in-water surf coaching with land-based surf coaching, surf theory, ocean awareness, beach safety, paddle technique, pop-up practice, movement training, video analysis, mobility, yoga-led recovery, sauna, guided coastal time, hosted group activities or another suitable retreat experience;
• changing the allocated surf instructor, host, yoga teacher, chef, supplier or activity provider;
• changing meal timings, social plans, hosted sessions or the exact format of a retreat element.
7.5 Minor changes of this nature do not entitle you to cancel, receive compensation or receive a refund, provided we continue to deliver the core retreat experience or provide a reasonable alternative.
7.6 Surf lessons, free-surf time and water-based activities will only go ahead where the lead surf coach, surf school, lifeguards, relevant supplier or Peak team considers conditions suitable for the group.
7.7 We may adapt, relocate, delay, shorten, reschedule, replace or cancel a surf session or water-based activity at any time due to flat seas, high water, red flags, strong winds, dangerous currents, excessive swell, poor visibility, lightning, pollution alerts, unsafe beach conditions, group ability, coach-to-guest ratios, equipment issues, guest safety, supplier decision or any other safety concern.
7.8 Flat seas do not automatically mean a cancelled lesson. Where the sea is safe but too small for normal surfing, we may deliver an adapted flat-water, beach-based or land-based session. This may include warm-up, paddle technique, board handling, pop-up practice, surf movement training, ocean awareness, beach safety, video analysis, mobility work, yoga-led recovery or other surf-related skills.
7.9 High water, extreme weather, unsafe conditions or operational issues may mean that a lesson or activity is moved to another beach, adjusted in format, delayed, rescheduled, replaced or cancelled. The decision of the lead surf coach, surf school, lifeguards, relevant supplier or Peak team on safety and suitability is final.
7.10 Where a scheduled surf or outdoor activity cannot safely or practically be delivered as originally planned, we will first try to provide a reasonable alternative during the retreat. This may include rescheduling, using a different beach, adapting the format, providing land-based coaching, surf theory, video analysis, yoga-led recovery, sauna, guided coastal time, mobility, beach safety or another suitable hosted activity.
7.11 Weather, surf, tide, safety or operational changes do not entitle guests to cancel, receive compensation or receive a refund where Peak provides a reasonable alternative or continues to deliver the core retreat experience.
7.12 If, before the retreat starts, we need to make a significant change that means we cannot provide the core retreat experience, we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible and offer you, where appropriate, one of the following:
• accepting the changed arrangements;
• moving to an alternative retreat date, subject to availability;
• receiving a refund of sums paid to us for the affected booking.
7.13 We may cancel a retreat if we are prevented from delivering it by events beyond our reasonable control, if minimum viable guest numbers are not reached, if the venue becomes unavailable, if a key supplier is unavailable and no suitable replacement can be found, or if we reasonably believe the retreat cannot be delivered safely, lawfully or to an acceptable standard.
7.14 If we cancel the retreat before it starts, we will offer an alternative date where available or refund sums paid to us for the cancelled retreat. We are not responsible for separate travel, accommodation, childcare, work, insurance, visa, equipment hire or other costs you incur independently, and you should ensure these are covered by your insurance where possible.
7.15 No additional compensation is payable for weather, surf, tide, safety or operational changes, except where required by law.

8.3 You must tell us at the time of booking, and update us promptly before arrival, about any medical condition, injury, disability, pregnancy, allergy, dietary requirement, medication, mental health consideration, accessibility need or other circumstance that may affect your participation, safety, accommodation needs, food requirements or the safety and comfort of others.
8.4 If you are pregnant, recovering from injury, managing a medical condition, taking medication that may affect participation, or unsure whether you should take part in surfing, sauna use, yoga, movement sessions, coastal walks or any retreat activity, you should obtain appropriate medical advice before booking or attending.

8.7 Failure to disclose relevant information may mean you cannot participate in certain activities. Cancellation charges may still apply where non-participation or cancellation results from information that was not disclosed to us accurately and in good time.
8.8 Guests must be aged 14 or over to attend a Peak retreat.
8.9 Guests aged 14–17 must have appropriate parent or legal guardian consent before attending. Peak may require a parent, legal guardian or responsible adult aged 18 or over to complete booking forms, guest forms, waivers, medical declarations, image consent forms and emergency contact details on their behalf.
8.10 Guests aged 14–17 must be accompanied at the retreat by a parent, legal guardian or responsible adult aged 18 or over who is also attending the retreat, unless Peak expressly agrees a different arrangement in writing before the booking is confirmed.
8.11 Peak may refuse or cancel a booking involving a guest aged 14–17 if appropriate consent, supervision, emergency contact information, medical information or supplier requirements are not provided to our satisfaction.
8.12 All guests must complete any check-in form, waiver, medical declaration, dietary form, image consent form, safety information or supplier documentation requested by Peak or our suppliers before taking part in activities.
8.13 We may prevent a guest from participating in part or all of the retreat if required forms are incomplete, inaccurate or not submitted by the deadline we provide.
8.14 You must update us promptly if any information you have provided changes before or during the retreat.

9.1 Surfing, ocean activities, coastal activities, yoga; sauna, hot tub or recovery facility use where included; movement sessions and physical exercise involve inherent risks.

• you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication that may impair your judgement, coordination or safety;
• you have not completed required forms or declarations;
• you have failed to disclose relevant medical, dietary, safety or participation information;

Peak Boutique Surf Retreat reserves the right to make the final room allocation where reasonably necessary to ensure the safe, practical and efficient operation of the retreat.
Guests booking together (for example, couples, friends or family members) will be accommodated together where they have booked an appropriate room category.
Where a guest has booked and paid for a specific room category (such as a private room), Peak Boutique Surf Retreat will honour that booking wherever reasonably possible. If exceptional circumstances beyond our reasonable control make this impossible, we will discuss suitable alternatives with you and, where appropriate, refund any applicable room upgrade charge.
