The agreement concerns the participation of a training, retreat or workshop (“event”) at Le Martinet (“the company”) or online with the team of Amritnam Sarovar. Contact email: info@amritnam.com

 2.       Your place in one of our events will be confirmed once we have received the non returnable total amount due, or such other amount as we may agree with you (“deposit”). Payment may be made by credit card, PayPal or by transfer to our bank in France.    

 3.       The balance of the amount due is payable no later than twelve weeks before the arrival date. If payment is not received by the due date, we are entitled to give notice in writing that the reservation or event place is cancelled. The Guest will remain liable to pay the balance of the rental or workshop place unless we are able to re-let the property or sell the event place. In this event Clause 6 of these booking conditions will apply. Bookings made within twelve weeks of the start date require full payment at the time of reservation.

 4.       Unless otherwise agreed the booking of a room includes bed linen and towels. By booking a tent place no towels or bed linen are included. Catering is provided as outlined in the event description. Please note that smoking is not permitted on the whole property of Le Martinet. Smoking is permitted at the mail box area closed to the upper street. Alcohol, drugs and the consumption of meat and fish is not permitted on the property of Le Martinet. Candles are only allowed on the dining table and under no circumstances in the bedrooms or in the tent area.

 5.       For exclusive rentals of Le Martinet a security deposit is required by separate cheque at the same time as the final rental balance is payable. It will be held subject to any cause of loss, damage or negligence against the property and its contents or failure to return the property upon departure in the condition in which it was found. Reasonable wear and tear is excluded. The Company reserves the right to deduct funds from the security deposit for extra cleaning costs where the property has been left in an unsatisfactory condition. The Company will account to the Guest for the security deposit and refund the balance on departure. The security deposit does not apply to event participants.

 6.       There are no refunds in the event of a cancellation. The deposit is not refundable and there is no refund after the balance has been paid.  Guests are required to arrange travel insurance including cancellation cover plus cover for the party’s personal belongings, public liability etc, as these may not be covered by the owner’s insurance.

 7.       Unless otherwise agreed the event begins at 19.30h on the first day and finish at 9h on the last day. However, we would ask you please to vacate bedrooms by 9h at departure day and to bring all used towels and bed lines to the lobby.
