To request a refund or transfer, please contact us at [email protected].
Cancellation by Mountain Mist
We reserve the right to cancel or postpone a programme due to insufficient enrolments, facilitator availability, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, enrolled participants will receive a full refund or the option to transfer to the next available intake.
8. Disclaimers
Our programmes are educational in nature and are intended to help you build a clearer understanding of personal finance concepts relevant to life in Thailand. They are not a substitute for professional financial, legal, or tax advice.
Nothing shared in our programmes constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial product. We strongly encourage participants to consult a licensed financial adviser before making significant financial decisions. Mountain Mist does not hold a financial advisory licence and does not provide regulated financial services.
Our website and programme materials are provided in good faith and as accurately as we are able. We do not make any representation that the content will always be complete, current, or error-free.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Thai law, Mountain Mist's liability to you in connection with any programme or use of our website is limited to the amount you paid for the relevant programme.
We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your participation in a programme or your use of this website, including but not limited to financial losses arising from decisions you make in connection with programme content.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
10. Termination
You may withdraw from a programme at any time, subject to the refund terms in Section 7. We may ask you to withdraw from a programme at our discretion, for example if you breach Section 5 of these Terms. In such a case, no refund will be issued.
We may also suspend or close access to our website at any time without notice.
11. Dispute Resolution
We hope that any concern can be resolved quietly and directly. If you have a complaint, please contact us first at [email protected] and we will do our best to find a fair resolution within 14 days.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Thailand. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Chiang Mai, Thailand.
12. General Provisions
- Entire agreement: These Terms, together with your enrolment confirmation, constitute the entire agreement between you and Mountain Mist in relation to the programme you have enrolled in.
- Severability: If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full effect.
- No waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms on one occasion does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it on another.
- Assignment: You may not transfer or assign your enrolment to another person without our prior written consent.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. For participants already enrolled in a programme, changes will not affect the terms that applied at the time of your enrolment. For new enrolments, the Terms in effect at the time of confirmation will apply.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our website after any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
