If the remaining balance is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and release your place to another participant. The deposit will not be refunded in this case.
All payments are processed securely via Wise (TransferWise). Prices are quoted in British Pounds (GBP).
The Retreat fee includes:
The Retreat fee does not include: flights, travel insurance, airport transfers (unless arranged separately), evening meals, personal expenses, or any activities not explicitly listed above.
All cancellation requests must be made in writing to hello@wewriteaway.com. We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellations, medical expenses, and personal belongings.
If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your booking to another person at no additional cost, provided you notify us in writing at least 2 weeks before the Retreat start date. The replacement participant must meet any applicable requirements and agree to these Terms & Conditions.
Participants are responsible for ensuring they are fit to take part in all Retreat activities, including walking excursions and outdoor sessions. Please inform us in advance of any medical conditions, allergies, or dietary requirements that may affect your participation.
While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure your safety, participation in all activities is at your own risk. The Sound of Everything Limited shall not be held liable for any injury, illness, loss, or damage to personal property during the Retreat, except where caused by our negligence.
We are committed to creating a welcoming, respectful, and supportive environment for all participants. We reserve the right to ask any participant to leave the Retreat without refund if their behaviour is disruptive, dangerous, or disrespectful to other participants, hosts, or venue staff.
All songs, lyrics, and musical works created during the Retreat remain the intellectual property of their respective creators. Co-written works are owned jointly by the collaborating writers unless otherwise agreed in writing between them.
We Write Away and The Sound of Everything Limited make no claim to ownership of any creative work produced during the Retreat.

Accommodation is provided on a shared basis. While we will do our best to accommodate preferences, room assignments are at our discretion. Any damage to the accommodation or venue caused by a participant will be the participant's financial responsibility.
We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, pandemics, government restrictions, extreme weather, strikes, or travel disruptions. In such cases, we will endeavour to reschedule the Retreat or offer a full refund.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Sound of Everything Limited's total liability in connection with the Retreat shall not exceed the total amount you paid for your booking. We shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential losses.
