SSE Cancellation of Programs

SSE reserves the right to postpone or cancel any of their Programs. This may happen without notice and for any reason.

While reasonable effort will be made to complete any Program, it is unlikely but not impossible that events such as, but not limited to, death, pandemics, war, natural disaster or illness may cause the Program to be postponed or cancelled.

SSE Postponement

If the Program or part of the Program cannot happen on the scheduled dates, it may be postponed to the next available dates.

You agree to the need to be flexible and attend on the rescheduled dates. If You cannot, You can defer to a subsequent training for a deferral fee of 30% of Your total course fees.

If there is an in-person component, refund or deferment of any fees other than SSE course fees such as travel, accommodation, venue fees is not the responsibility of SSE.

SSE Cancellation

If the Program is cancelled by SSE, it may be possible for You to transfer to another Program.

If the Program is cancelled by SSE and it is not possible for you to transfer to another Program, you will receive a refund proportional to how much of the course you have met the course requirements for counting as having completed.

In the case of the Body Poem certification training, each of the 9 modules and the in-person embodiment retreat are assumed to be equivalent to 10% of the total course fees.

Refund or deferment of any fees other than SSE course fees such as travel, accommodation or venue fees is not the responsibility of SSE.

Illness

When there is an in-person component to a Program, You commit to not knowingly attending the in-person component with an infectious illness. If You cannot attend due to an infectious illness, You agree to attend as soon as is medically possible, and to work with the facilitators to catch up on what You have missed.

If You cannot attend, You will need to defer to the next training. You will provide a medical certificate to SSE in support of this. The fee for deferring is at the discretion of SSE.

Refund or deferment of any fees other than SSE course fees such as travel, accommodation or venue fees is not the responsibility of SSE.

Confidentiality

You are agreeing to hold the names, identities and information of all Program participants in strict confidence. No information you hear about a fellow participant during a Program may be revealed, spoken of or written about in any way that would disclose the identity of said participant to people outside the Program.
