Seacoast Permaculture Refund Policy
Deposits and fees paid for registration in Seacoast Permaculture events are non-refundable. We at Seacoast Permaculture require deposits and fees for some of our events in order to compensate teachers and/or to manage attendance sign-ups for limited spots. For these reasons that are central to hosting successful events, deposits and fees are non-refundable.
To better serve members of the permaculture community who attend our events, we strive to be as flexible as possible with the timing and sliding scale of any fees beyond the deposit (which serves to hold one’s place at an event). This means that at many events, participants may pay what they are able on the sliding scale noted in the event details, and they may wait to pay any fee beyond the deposit until or during the event itself. But please note: Once a deposit and any other fees are paid, they become non-refundable. As always, if a fee prohibits your attendance, we encourage you to contact us via Meetup for scholarship consideration.
Update: Covid-19 has necessitated a lone exception to our policy. In order to lessen any risk to the community from Covid-19, a paid registrant who believes they might have Covid and so cannot safely attend an in-person eventsponsored by Seacoast Permaculture should formally cancel their RSVP on Meetup. In the case of RSVP cancellation due to a possible Covid infection, that paid registrant may reach out within three days of cancellation of their RSVP (by the day of the event or before) to Seacoast Permaculture through Meet-up messaging to request a credit toward a future event.
Via the Meetup message a person who cancelled their RSVP on Meetup due to Covid-infection concerns may request that their registration deposit and any paid fee be credited toward one future event sponsored by Seacoast Permaculture. Any credit for a Covid cancellation must be applied to a Seacoast Permaculture event (one single event) within three months of the cancelled-RSVP event. A person who cancels their RSVP on Meetup due to Covid is always welcome to consider their fee a much-appreciated donation to Seacoast Permaculture in lieu of requesting credit toward a future event. A Covid credit for an in-person event may only be sought one time by any one person. Also, this exception will cease when Covid is no longer a substantial threat to the community of participants.
To all who attend our events, thank you so much for your participation and for understanding our need for a no-refunds policy related to paid deposits and fees. Ours is a wholly volunteer organization, and simplifying our logistics to the degree possible helps make our events doable. Also, your donations, deposits, and fees are crucial in sustaining our efforts and in bringing the best-possible in-person events and online programming to those in the Seacoast area who are committed to learning about permaculture. Thank you so much for your interest and support.
