1. Use of Services

You agree to use our Services only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit anyone else's use and enjoyment of the Services.

You must be at least 18 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian, to use our Services.

3. Right to Refuse Service

We reserve the right to refuse service to any individual at our discretion.

4. Cancellations and Refunds

All bookings are generally non-refundable once confirmed.

If we cancel a tour or experience for any reason, you will be offered either a full refund or the option to reschedule.

We will make reasonable efforts to provide comparable alternatives where possible.

Tours and experiences are conducted rain or shine. Participants are responsible for preparing appropriately for weather conditions, including suitable clothing and footwear.

In cases of severe or unsafe weather, Jewish Storytelling reserves the right to modify, delay, or cancel a tour at its discretion. If a tour is cancelled due to such conditions, participants will be offered either a full refund or the option to reschedule.

7. Late Arrival / No-Show Policy

Participants are responsible for arriving on time. Late arrivals or failure to attend a scheduled tour or session may be treated as a no-show and are not eligible for a refund.

In the event of technical issues on our end that significantly disrupt or prevent the delivery of a scheduled course, lecture, or digital experience, we will make reasonable efforts to provide an alternative solution. This may include rescheduling the session, providing access to a recording, or offering a full or partial refund, at our discretion.
