Cancellation Policy
and Extended Leave Policy

Cancellation Policy
If for any reason your child will be unable to make their scheduled appointment time, a 24-hour notice must be given in order to avoid being charged for the full session (Please note we CANNOT bill the waiver for a missed appointment, so responsibility of the full payment is on the client). We understand that sudden illnesses or emergencies arise, please call us as soon as you know your child will be unable to make their session due to illness.

 

Missing a session without any prior notification (no show) for any reason will be billed to the client in full. We ask that no more than three (3) cancellations occur every quarter throughout the year. The quarters will be as follows: January-March / April-June / July-September / October-December

 

If three (3) or more cancellations or skipped sessions occur in a given quarter, we reserve the right to schedule another family into that time slot. Sessions begin promptly at the agreed time. If the child is late for the session, the session will still finish at the scheduled time. This policy is in place out of respect for our therapists and clients. By giving last minute notice or no notice, it prevents someone else from being able to schedule into that time slot.

 

True Friends reserves the right to cancel a session due to circumstances beyond our control including severe weather or due to a lack of staff. If this occurs, staff will notify you within a timely manner. Clients will be rescheduled for another session or could be refunded entirely.

 

Extended Leave Policy
In an effort to provide effective and efficient treatment to all of our clients, it is the policy of True Friends Therapy and Adaptive Riding program, that clients taking an extended leave, exceeding three consecutive weeks, notify their therapist immediately. If a client does not notify the therapist and three consecutive weeks are missed the session time will be immediately rescheduled to another client. If your session is rescheduled, please contact True Friends if you would like to initiate therapy once again. We cannot promise that the same time, day or therapist will be available.

Deposits, Cancellation
Policy, Additional and
Fluctuating Costs

Deposits
Deposits are required to attend a trip. Deposit amounts are dependent on the type of trip, please see trip descriptions for deposit amounts.  

Cancellation Policy
Vacations which require pre-paid purchases (airline tickets, hotel rooms, etc.) have strict cancellation policies set by airline, cruise or train companies. True Friends has no control over these penalties; therefore our cancellation policies must reflect their restrictive guidelines. If a traveler wishes to cancel their trip, any non-refundable expenses will not be refunded to the traveler. If you wish to cancel your trip you MUST notify us by email or letter. Phone conversations or voice mail messages are insufficient notification, and if no formal notice is received, we will consider you a ‘no show’.

Additional & Fluctuating Costs
Travelers are responsible for additional expenses incurred on their behalf during a vacation including but not limited to: property damage, overweight or excess luggage, pay-per-view television charges, phone charges, prescription re-fills, personal care items, equipment rentals, and travel expenses related to travel disruption or delay. Trips may be cancelled due to low registrations. True Friends will provide a full refund if this occurs or transfer any fees paid to the vacation of your choice.

Airline and rail services adjust their schedules for many reasons. When this occurs, True Friends reserves the right to adjust your itinerary accordingly and will notify you as soon as possible. Prices for trips which include travel by air or train are based on capacity controlled costs. In the event that we are unable to secure seats due to conditions beyond our control, such as strikes, schedule, or regulation changes, we reserve the right to contact each guest to pay an additional fare or notify of a schedule change.
