The terms “you,” and “your” refer to any client of our Services (“Client”) and / or customer of our Products (“Customer”), whether personal or business entities, and include, but are not limited to, your agents, representatives, contractors, affiliates, and employees.

 

These terms of engagement (“Terms”) are prepared in accordance with Hong Kong law. It does not warrant that the Product or Service (“Offering”) will satisfy the laws of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong.

 

 2. ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS

 

By engaging or participating in our Offering, you agree to have read and to be bound by these Terms without modification.

 

You may also accept the Terms by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms where this option is made available to you at the time of your purchase or booking (as applicable).

 

We may change or amend the Terms at any time. Any changes to the Terms will be posted on our Website, and (if applicable) made available at the time of your purchase or booking, and will be effective when published unless otherwise stated. If you engage or participate in our Offering after the effective date of any changes, you therefore agree to comply with the changes and the updated Terms.

 

We take your privacy seriously and any information which you provide (knowingly or unknowingly) through your purchase is subject to our Privacy and Cookie Policy which may be applicable from time to time and is incorporated into these Terms. We do not sell or licence your Personal Data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes, unless you provide your express prior consent.

 

3. BOOKINGS AND CANCELLATIONS

 

Bookings for private coaching are non-refundable and non-transferable. Bookings may not be rescheduled within 24 hours of the date of the Offering event. If the reschedule request or cancellation of your booking is not accepted, you will forfeit the full amount of your booking if you are unable to or do not attend. Any earlier rescheduling that occurs more than twice will be subject to a $300 administration fee.

 

Bookings for workshop and retreats (including day retreats) are non-refundable and non-transferable. Clients can request to cancel their booking by contacting us within 3 days after they make a payment if their request is made more than 75 days prior to the event. Any requested cancellation which is accepted (at our sole and absolute discretion) will be subject to a 15% administration fee. If the request to cancel your booking is not accepted, you will forfeit the full amount of your booking if you are unable to or do not attend.

 

For any requests to reschedule or cancel any bookings due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact us by BOTH (i) phone or WhatsApp on +852-6896-3338, and (ii) email at info@gerliemalee.com. Your failure to provide BOTH forms of notification for a request to reschedule or cancel will render your requested cancellation of the relevant booking not effective. In the event of a request from you to reschedule or cancel any of your bookings due to unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right (at our sole and absolute discretion) to consider your request and will notify you of our decision (which shall be final and not open to review or challenge) once we have received and considered your explanation and any supporting information. For the avoidance of doubt, all bookings will be postponed to a further date to be agreed between us in accordance with the laws and regulations of the laws of Hong Kong SAR in the event of a Typhoon No. 8 signal or a black rain warning is hoisted by the Hong Kong Observatory or such other competent administrative body in its place.
