• A non-refundable deposit of £50 is required to confirm your place on your chosen course.
• The balance of the course fee (the agreed full fee minus any deposit paid) must be paid in full at or before the first session of the course, unless otherwise agreed.

• In the event of cancellation by a participant prior to the start of the course, the £50 deposit is non-refundable.
• In the event of cancellation by a participant after one or more sessions of the course have been completed, no refund will be given.
• In the event of a birth taking place before the course commences, a full refund will be given.
• In the unlikely event of cancellation of a course by Meg Brierley of A Gentle Journey, attempts will be made to reschedule. If this is not possible, or alternative dates cannot be agreed, a full refund of the total fee will be given.
• In the unlikely event of cancellation of an individual session by Meg Brierley of A Gentle Journey, attempts will be made to reschedule. If this is not possible, or if alternative dates cannot be agreed, a refund for sessions not yet taken will be given. If it is not possible for all couples within a group to agree an alternative date then provision will be made for individual couples. The refunded fee per session will be calculated as the total fee, after deduction of the £50 deposit, divided by the number of sessions in the course. No refund will be made for sessions already taken.
