*The first reserved date begins at 12:00am on the date reserved.
**  If you cancel and receive a partial refund, but we are able to rebook the entirety of your cancelled stay, we may decide to provide a gift certificate for the amount recouped by re-booking, but the amount is at our discretion based on the circumstances of the cancellation and the work it takes to rebook. 

***GIFT CERTIFICATES FOR STANDARD CANCELLATIONS IN LIEU OF REFUNDS
Should you opt to take the 100% gift certificate (instead of a refund to your card minus the cancellation fee) for a cancellation not related to a border shutdown or non-essential travel ban, but determine later you cannot use it, you may request to cancel the certificate and receive a partial refund. The refunded amount will be calculated based on how far in advance the booking was cancelled. Example: you cancel your 3 night stay 50 days prior to your reservation and take the gift certificate worth 100% of the deposit in your name. A year later you decide you won't be able to use it and request a refund OR ask for the name on the certificate to be adjusted and transferred to someone else. The gift certificate will be refunded to your credit card or digitally transferred to another individual MINUS the cancellation fee of $25 plus tax, the fee for cancelling more than 45 days prior to the booking in this case.

****GIFT CERTIFICATES ISSUED FOR TRAVEL SHUT DOWN TO NEWFOUNDLAND: If a travel shut down is announced between 45 and 8 days prior to your reservation, the non-refundable portion of your deposit can be issued as a gift certificate. If you would like a monetary refund you can contact us after the dates you had reserved and if we were able to rebook the entire stay we can exchange the issued gift certificate for a monetary refund minus a processing fee to cover credit card charges. Should a travel shut down announced within 8 days of your trip prevent you from travelling to Newfoundland any amount of the reservation that we are able to rebook will be refunded to your credit card or issued as a gift certificate. Travelers should have appropriate insurance in place to claim the non-refundable portion of the booking.

Conditions: If a travel ban to Newfoundland was already in place when you booked or is re-announced and the Artisan Inn advises you to cancel at the 45 days mark, you may still decide to hold onto your reservation, but our regular cancellation policy will apply and gift certificates/monetary refunds will not be offered as an option if you cancel at a later time. Should your booking be for 5 days or longer we may request that you pay the full amount if we believe your trip cannot happen, but you still decline to cancel at our request.

****GIFT CERTIFICATES ISSUED INTER-PROVINCIAL NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL SHUT DOWN: We understand that if you are travelling within your own province you likely do not have travel insurance to cover cancellations. Should a non-essential travel ban be imposed for your reserved visiting time, the Artisan Inn will issue a gift certificate for the deposited amount. If you are within 8 days of the booking when a non-essential travel ban is ordered and have paid in full, the Artisan Inn will issue a non-expiring gift certificate for the original deposit amount and refund the remaining amount to your card.  Please understand our reason for not guaranteeing a full monetary refund (versus gift certificate for the deposit) is that we cannot predict what our financial responsibilities to our suppliers and staff will be in the situation of another shut down.
