Cancellation & Refund Policy: Due to the nature of replay access, the Thriving Narrators Retreat Replay Package is non-refundable. Replays are a free extra for registered attendees at the Thriving Narrators Retreat, and replay recordings are sold "as is." We make a best effort to record the sessions with the highest audio and video quality possible, but the nature of live events means that unexpected mishaps may occur. The Replay Package includes video recordings of most, but not all, of the workshops and session conversations from the in-person Thriving Narrators Retreat, and it includes video recordings of all of the retreat's large panel discussions. The content of the Replay Package is for purchasers' personal educational use only and may not be shared or distributed in any way.
