Purchasing Experiences
Certain experiences listed on the website are subject to additional and/or different terms and conditions, particularly with respect to cancellation and refund policies. Such experiences are indicated by an * appearing after the name of the experience. You are advised to read the complete terms and conditions of experiences marked with an * prior to purchasing an experience.
Most Experiences listed on the Website have specific dates on which the Experience will be hosted. When you purchase an Experience on the Website, you are booking a specific Experience on a specific day, at a specific time, for a specific number of participants. You will receive a specific experience confirmation, not a general use voucher or gift certificate. Therefore, when purchasing an experience for Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s Guests, be certain that the date, time and nature of the experience are suitable prior to purchasing an experience. See Refund Policy; see also Rescheduling, Cancellation and Credits.
Some Experiences are listed on the Website without specific dates on which the Experience will be hosted. You will be asked to provide dates on which you would like to have the Experience. 1000passions will attempt to schedule the Experience with the Host on one of the dates you request. Host and Purchaser must agree to a mutually acceptable date for the Experience within thirty (30) days after the purchase of the Experience. The Experience must be booked for a date within one year of the date of purchase of the Experience. See Refund Policy; see also Rescheduling, Cancellation and Credits.

The confirmation shall set forth the name of the Host, date, time and location of the purchased Experience. Additionally, the confirmation will contain Purchaser’s name, the number of persons attending the Experience and the confirmation number of the purchased Experience. Purchaser or one of Purchaser’s Guests must present the confirmation number to the Host at the time designated for the Experience.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. ALL PURCHASERS AND GUESTS MUST AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.
Payment for Experiences
1000passions uses Paypal to process payments for Experiences. Paypal accepts all major credit cards. The Company does not charge any processing or other fees in connection with the payment for an Experience. The Company does not process your payment for an Experience, but transfers you to a secure network provided by Paypal through which all transactions are processed. The Company doesn’t retain any of your credit card or other payment information.
The Company does not collect sales tax, use tax or any other taxes at the time you purchase an Experience. ANY FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL SALES TAXES, USE TAXES, VALUE ADDED OR OTHER TAXES APPLICABLE TO AN EXPERIENCE WILL BE COLLECTED BY THE HOST AT THE TIME OF THE EXPERIENCE.
Refund Policy
PURCHASED EXPERIENCES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. THEREFORE, WHEN PURCHASAING AN EXPERIENCE, BE CERTAIN THAT THE DATE, TIME AND NATURE OF THE EXPERIENCE ARE SUITABLE PRIOR TO PURCHASE OR, IN THE CASE OF A BUY NOW BOOK LATER EXPERIENCE, UPON AGREEING TO THE DATE OF THE EXPERIENCE.
When a Purchaser purchases a “Buy Now Book Later” experience, Purchaser must submit a list of dates on which Purchaser would like to schedule the Experience. The Company shall endeavor to schedule the Experience with the Host on one of the requested dates. If Host cannot provide the Experience on one of those dates, the Company shall endeavor to find a date for the Experience acceptable to Purchaser and Host. If Purchaser and Host cannot agree to a mutually acceptable date within thirty days of the date of purchase, the Company shall refund to Purchaser the amount that was paid by Purchaser for the Experience.
The Company will provide a refund to Purchaser only in the following circumstances:
- If the Host is not present to host the Experience on the date and within one hour after the scheduled time of the purchased Experience;
- If the Host cancels an Experience prior to the scheduled day of the Experience and the Host and the Guest are unable to reschedule the Experience at a mutually acceptable time (other than Weather Dependent Experiences);
- Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure which prevents the Experience from taking place, and Host and Guest are unable to reschedule the Experience at a mutually acceptable time;
- Subject to the absolute discretion of the Company, upon the occurrence of certain special circumstances, such as death, severe illness of a Guest or similar circumstance, which determination by the Company shall be made upon submission to the Company of proper documentation confirming the existence of the special circumstances; and
- In the event Purchaser purchases a Buy Now Book Later Experience and Purchaser and Host are unable to arrange a mutually agreeable time for the Experience within thirty (30) days after the date of purchase of the Experience.
Certain experiences listed on the website marked with an * have a refund policy specific to those experiences.
Rescheduling, Cancellation and Credits
In the event a Guest cannot attend an Experience on the scheduled date, an attempt shall be made to reschedule the Experience at a time mutually acceptable to Host and Guest. If Guest and Host are unable to agree to a mutually acceptable time to reschedule the Experience, the Experience will be cancelled. If cancellation of the Experience occurs more than fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduled date of a purchased Experience, Purchaser will receive a credit equal to the amount that was paid by Purchaser for the Experience. The Purchaser may use the credit towards the purchase of any Experience that is scheduled to occur prior to the date of the first anniversary of the date on which Purchaser purchased the Experience. NO REFUND OR CREDIT WILL BE ISSUED in the event a Guest cancels an Experience fourteen (14) or fewer days prior to the scheduled date of the Experience.
In the event a Weather Dependent Experience is cancelled due to the weather (or other applicable condition), Purchaser will receive a credit equal to the amount that was paid by Purchaser for the Experience.
