Cancellation & Refund Policy:
Inclement weather is in the forecast, should we cancel?
- The AWL guide has the sole responsibility to cancel a program due to weather conditions. Certain weather conditions are often unavoidable in Oregon. Joining a winter program requires joining our shuttle options or having the proper equipment to drive in winter conditions.
What if I need to can no longer come?
To cancel your spot, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible and at least 5 days in advance for a full refund (minus transaction fees). If you cancel within 5 days of the trip, then you will forgo 50% of the program cost.
What if I want to reschedule?
If you notify us at least 5 days in advance, you can reschedule without penalty minus any transaction fees. If you notify us within 5 days of the program, you will forgo 50% of the program cost and we can apply the remaining balance to another trip date.
If we need to cancel, how should we notify you?
The short answer is, the fastest and most direct way. An email or phone call as soon as you think you may have to cancel is the best option. Even if you're unsure, shoot us an email. It will be very much appreciated.
