Why Our Payment / Non Cancellation Terms Are Strict
We are not a resort, a hospital or a clinical or medical treatment facility.
We are a small business offering specific and highly valuable health care and retreat experiences to unique individuals. Unfortunately if a situation arises where THE CLIENT cannot attend retreat for any reason, we cannot refund or transfer your booking.
Regardless of circumstances, our running costs are paid in advance (your accommodation, food, chef, wellness team, therapy, travel, extensive booking time and coordination etc.) and all payments are non refundable & non transferable. To continue our operation as a small business in the health industry and to continue to be able to help others, employ a world class team and lease world class facilities our retreat costs are paid well in advance and to continue to be able to pay those costs we cannot refund or transfer your booking.
Payment Via Somebody As A Gift
It is common for family members, companies or friends to offer payment for a retreat as a gift or loan. Regardless of the agreement between the paying person and the retreat attendee, if these are the payment details we are provided with, these are the payment details that we withhold and process for all retreat costs and costs incurred during retreat and this person is responsible for all quoted retreat costs, incurred costs during retreat and damage to property should any occur. If you are the paying person, we require a written email/text message of consent with the booking form to confirm your agreement to these terms and future payments. As the paying person please note that you are responsible for all payments in relation to THE CLIENT you are paying for.
The retreat attendee agrees to all booking and retreat conditions and the paying person. The retreat attendee acts on behalf of the paying person and the paying person when supplying their credit card details agrees to these conditions by proxy. We reserve the right to process any payments quoted and incurred during retreat without prior notice to the credit card holder. It is the responsibility of THE CLIENT to ensure that the paying person understands and agrees to these conditions before offering their details.
Private Health Insurance
No part of our program is covered by private health insurance that THE CLIENT may have in your own country of residence and THE CLIENT understands that getting cover from their insurance is their responsibility if they wish to do so and ALIVE will not have any involvement with the said insurance company.
Fit & Well To Travel
It is a condition of this booking that THE CLIENT is fit and well to travel at the time of booking and travel.
Travel and Medical Insurance
It is a condition of your booking that THE CLIENT have international travel insurance. Proof of this is required before the program will start.
Schedule & Time Management
Your program and schedule is designed by the program facilitator and managers based on years of experience and what works and what is required for your healing, health and mental health.
This schedule cannot be altered by THE CLIENT and THE CLIENT agrees to attend every session unless agreed differently by the program manager.
We do not tolerate lateness to any sessions.
Every member of the team inside and outside the retreat is paid for their set time and this is factored into your budget.
To maintain access to some of the greatest therapists that exist - we respect their time and so does THE CLIENT committing to the schedule and plan for each day and week.
We stay on time with the schedule each day. THE CLIENT cannot change or dictate the schedule in any way.
Nutrition and Food Plan
Diet is a large and key part of our program for healing the physical body and mental health issues. The diet is designed taking into consideration your blood results, LBA and advice from Naturopath, GP, Nutritionist and Wellness Coach. The diet cannot be altered in any way and requires a commitment from the guest to undergo a specific diet to suit the health needs of the body - and not the tastes preferred.
Smoking, Alcohol & Illegal Drugs
Smoking is allowed only in designated smoking areas.
Smoking is prohibited in all inside areas. Smoking in your accommodation room or inside areas will not be tolerated and you will risk cancellation of your program.
Alcohol is strictly prohibited. If alcohol is found in your residence or in urine tests your program will be immediately canceled and no refund offered.
If any illicit drugs are found in your residence during your retreat program the police will be called without notice and your program will be immediately canceled and no refund offered.
Note: Bali is one of the ALIVE locations. Bali Indonesia has very strict draconian laws for drug use. The accommodation providers or ALIVE are legally required to notify the police of suspected or proven drug use. The penalty in Bali for any illegal drug is death. No one is above this law. If you bring any illegal drugs into Indonesia or our program you are risking your life.
Illness & Detoxification
Detox protocols are directed by the medical team and not THE CLIENT, clients family or outside medical personnel. Medical detox protocols are directed by the Psychiatrist according to the residential rehab guidelines.
It is common on retreat for some to experience ill side effects to a cleanse or detox (if THE CLIENT chooses it) including headache, body ache, nausea, digestive upset, lethargy, emotional changes and more.
Everybody is unique in how they handle a cleanse and change of environment (e.g. a tropical environment and changes to diet and water) as we all have different levels of resilience. ALIVE assists in managing these symptoms naturally and by slowing down the ‘healing crises’ by slowing down the detox or aiding symptoms naturally as prescribed by our in-house wellness team, GP or Psychiatrist.
We are not comfortable and do not recommend any form of extreme detox including fasting during your stay with us. The ALIVE Detox is extremely gentle but THE CLIENT can expect to experience side effects from cleansing the body of toxic build up or giving up sugar, alcohol, medication etc.
Not all programs include a detox menu or medicine so please discuss this with your retreat manager.
Phone & Laptop Access
There is scheduled time during the program hours and evenings to have access to phone and laptop, to talk to loved ones and to attend to any urgent business affairs. Outside that time the phone and laptop are kept in a safe. This ensures that you can take the time to detox from responsibility, technology and the constant distraction of matters outside the retreat. If access to technology is anyway detracting from your ability to focus on your program we reserve the right to remove all items and return them upon leaving.
Leaving The Facilities
Although we do not restrict our clients, lock them in or take away their contact from the outside world we do maintain control over their whereabouts at all times. Clients cannot leave the facilities without a host, escort and driver as well as notifying the program manager prior to leaving. If a client leaves the facilities without notice the program is immediately canceled and THE CLIENT agrees that ALIVE are not responsible for THE CLIENT with anything that may occur from them leaving the retreat facilities. If THE CLIENT has any visitors enter the program at any time without prior notice and agreement from the facilitator the program is immediately canceled.
Property & Accomodation
Villas and accommodation are chosen for your needs and tastes. We clearly state the level of accommodation in your retreat proposal and you choose the accommodation to suit your tastes, budget and needs.
Accommodation is not managed or owned by ALIVE Retreats, if situations arise that are out of direct control in regards to property maintenance or management we cannot be held responsible but will liaise with the management of the property to ensure a high standard of luxury, service and standard during your stay with us.
Each unique property has their own rules and policies. These will be clearly outlined on arrival and must be adhered to by THE CLIENT. If THE CLIENT dismisses or disobeys the rules of the accommodation or facility the general manager reserves the right to cancel the booking without notice or refund. If this is the case, ALIVE will also cancel the program.
Credit card details will be required as a bond for any damages to accommodation on your behalf during your stay and security deposits are the responsibility of THE CLIENT if required. By agreeing to our terms and conditions, THE CLIENT allows us to process payments on THE CLIENT chosen credit card for costs incurred by you within your accommodation whilst attending your retreat.
All costs will be outlined and forwarded to THE CLIENT in the form of a written invoice and payment receipts will be provided. At all times ALIVE will communicate to you clearly any extra charges that you request at the time of request. If the clients program is canceled for any reason outlined in this agreement this also applies to the accommodation booking in its entirety.
Searching Of Personal Items
At any time without your consent or prior notice we may request a random search of personal items and space to ensure that no alcohol or drugs have entered the premises.
This includes any support guests staying with you.

In case of emergency:
We will notify your emergency contact listed in your health form. Please note we do not offer a support service to clients outside our retreat. Your emergency contact will be required to take responsibility for your health and wellbeing once you leave the ALIVE Luxury Retreat.
If at any time THE CLIENT's emergency contact is not contactable THE CLIENT agrees that ALIVE takes no responsibility for the wellbeing and care of THE CLIENT.
THE CLIENT understands that they are liable for the management of their own medical insurance and any costs associated with any care within a hospital or institution outside of the retreat.
ALIVE provides a nurturing and safe environment strictly following the international standards for residential mental health and addiction treatment.
These standards are not negotiable.
