1. General Payment Policies

1.1 Return Policy for Trips, Events, Challenges, and Merch

Trips and Events

LA Hiking Baddies is committed to providing enjoyable and memorable experiences for all participants. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and you may need to cancel your trip or event. Although refunds and credits are not available for any purchase, we have outlined our refund policy below to ensure transparency and fairness.

Non-transferable Spots

If you have purchased a non-transferable spot for an upcoming trip or event, your spot is final sale and cannot be transferred. By purchasing a non-transferable spot, you acknowledge that your spot is reserved exclusively for you and cannot be transferred or refunded.

Transferable Spots

If you purchased a transferable spot, you may sell your spot to another group member by the transferable date posted on the event page and your order confirmation e-mail. You must have purchased a transferable spot on our website at the time of purchase to be eligible. Please note that the transfer of your spot is not final until the signed and completed Liability Waiver from the person taking your place is completed and an e-mail is sent to us at losangeleshikingbaddies@gmail.com indicating the event name and member name(s) with any other applicable details.

There is a fee associated with selecting a transferable spot verses non-transferable that has often been included in cost. This helps alleviate the cost of transferring names with the booked accommodation and excursions, as well as collection and processing of waivers or applicable paperwork. Additionally, it supports familiarizing the new participant with the trip and any carpool or flight assistance (if applicable).

Challenges

Baddies Challenges and optional medals are non-refundable, non-transferrable, and considered final sale. This means that once the order is placed, it cannot be canceled or exchanged. The purchase of the Baddies Challenges and optional medals is final and not eligible for any changes or modifications.

1.2 Transfer Process for Transferable Spots

If you purchased a transferable spot, please follow these instructions:

  1. Post your spot on the event page within our Facebook group.
  2. Arrange payment from the new participant to you. Please do not discount the price.
  3. Have the new participant complete a Liability Waiver
  4. Email losangeleshikingbaddies@gmail.com and include all trip/event details and the member name who will be taking your space. Make sure to include any other relevant details.
  5. Once we have the completed waiver and an email from you, our admin will transfer your reservation to them and add them to the trip/event chat on Messenger.
  6. Once your spot is sold, please delete your original post in the group to avoid confusion.

1.3 Tips For Selling Your Spot

Purchasing a transferable spot does not guarantee that your spot will be sold, but there are a few important tips that can increase your chances of successfully transferring your spot. When posting your spot for sale, it is important to post on the actual event page, rather than the community home page. When someone expresses interest in a spot, I send them to the event page to look for available spots. This will help streamline the process and ensure interested parties have access to relevant information.

To ensure your spot is posted in the most appealing manner, make sure to include all relevant details. Include the trip or event date, location, time, accommodation details, and any other important details if applicable. Including a photo in your post can also be helpful, as it can give potential buyers a visual representation of the experience they are considering.

In addition to providing information about the trip or event, it is also a good idea to mention that the buyer must forward the signed and completed Liability Waiver to LA Hiking Baddies after they have made payment to you for your spot. This will help ensure that all necessary paperwork is in place and that there are no misunderstandings regarding the terms and conditions.

Remember, purchasing a transferable spot does not guarantee that your spot will be sold, but following these tips can help increase your chances of finding a suitable buyer and completing the transfer successfully.

1.4 Travel Insurance

It is important to note that unforeseen circumstances may arise that may affect a trip or event. These events could include weather conditions, medical emergencies, or any other unforeseen circumstances that are beyond our control. For such situations, we highly encourage you to purchase Travel Insurance.

Travel Insurance provides a layer of protection in case any unexpected circumstances arise during your trip or event. It covers medical expenses, trip cancellation, lost luggage, and other unforeseen events that may disrupt your travel plan. By purchasing Travel Insurance, you are ensuring that you are covered in case of any emergencies or unforeseen circumstances that may arise. This will provide you with peace of mind and help you focus on enjoying the trip or event without any worries. Please note that Travel Insurance is an optional purchase and is not included in the cost of the trip or event. It is solely the responsibility of the attendee to purchase Travel Insurance if they so choose.
