TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ALL SHUMBASHABA EQUESTRIAN ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR 2009.

The following terms and conditions are in line with the Shumbashaba policy and procedure regarding conducting Equine Assisted Therapeutic Activities.

Timetable: Please note our year is 46 weeks, this in effect means that the contracts are for either 46 sessions (once per week) or 92 sessions (twice per week) per year. The total cost for these sessions is calculated and divided over a 12 month payment period. The program will resume on Monday the 12th January 2009, and will close on Friday the 4th December 2009. During this period there will be a one week period in the school holidays where the program will be closed, date to be advised. This has been accounted for in the 46 weeks.

Payment: Monthly payments are due before the 1st of each month. Overdue accounts may be charged 12% interest. It is possible to pay the years riding fees in advance, and a 2.5% discount is offered.

Cancellations: Client cancelled sessions will only be made up should the sessions be
cancelled a minimum of 12 hours in advance. This will be strictly adhered to. A cancellation will be said to have been made through direct contact with Sharon, 084 500 0672 or Renae, 083 3736853. All messages to include the date and time of the message.
These make-up sessions are the responsibility of the client and the opportunity to make up the session will expire 1 month after the cancelled session. Therapist or instructor cancelled sessions will be made up as quickly as possible after the event. There is strictly no credit to fees or reimbursement on cancelled sessions.

Procedure during Rain: Should the weather affect the conditions such that therapeutic riding becomes dangerous or impossible, the therapist / instructor will attempt to contact the client and make alternative arrangements. We cannot be held accountable for acts of God. Rainy days afford us the opportunity to explore other important aspects of the therapeutic riding situation that involves “associated activities”, such as the psychomotor stimulation of grooming, as well as opportunities for relationship building and development of self-esteem and self-concept. The program is holistic, and it is the whole experience with the horse that is therapeutic. Hence clients are requested to support the holistic aspect of the program and attend these associated activity sessions. Those sessions where associated activities are scheduled, and clients do not attend, will not be made up unless the above cancellation criteria are adhered to.

Absenteeism as a result of health problems: Should an individual not be able to attend sessions over an extended period, due to reasons of health, then we need to be informed at least a month in advance. On medical certification the contract will be upheld, the place in the program kept, and additional sessions will be arranged once the individual resumes the therapeutic riding program. This requires that the monthly fee for therapeutic riding sessions continue to be paid. The alternative is for a month’s notice to be paid and sessions can resume later using one of the other payment alternatives.

Termination Procedures: One months’ paid notice must be given in writing should a client wish to terminate registration from the program. On the 12-month fees payment option, termination received on the 1st November will include the payment of the December fees in addition to those of November.
