The materials in this site are provided "as is" and without warranties of any kind either expressed or implied. To the fullest extent permissible and subject and pursuant to applicable law, GVN disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

International travel is inherently risky. By becoming a volunteer, you acknowledge and accept these risks and those associated with living and working in developing countries. As a volunteer you must appreciate and understand that some of these activities may be outside of your personal insurance cover. GVN is not liable (to the maximum extent of the law) for any loss or harm you may suffer, including but not limited to loss caused by:
  • delay;
  • bodily injury or death;
  • damage to or loss of property;
  • war or terrorism.
Cancellation Policy

The application fee is refundable until 60 days before the month you are due to arrive in the project country. This is because GVN needs to make financial commitments on your behalf prior to the program start date.

Unfortunately for this reason we can make no exceptions. All refunds will be made less the costs incurred in processing the refund such as bank charges.

All requests for application fee refunds must be faxed or posted to the Global Volunteer Network with your signature at the bottom. Phone calls and e-mails are not acceptable. You will be notified of Global Volunteer Network receiving your application for a refund of the application fee within 48 hours. Refunds are only issued on Wednesdays of each week and you would receive confirmation of the refund being issued also. Should you not be emailed in regards to your request the assumption should be made that the request form was not received. Global Volunteer Network is not responsible for fax or mail that is not received.

Here is the form you need to use to request a refund: http://www.volunteer.org.nz/refund.pdf

GVN can refund no more than 10% of the total number of application fees received in any given month. For example, out of 80 application fees received the first 8 would be automatically refunded. Subsequent refunds are processed in the following month in order of the date they were requested.

The 60 days notification is taken from the month you stated on your original application form. If you postpone your trip the refund is only valid until 60 days prior to the 1st of the month you originally intended to volunteer.

If you are not eligible for an application refund then please be aware that you can still access any of our other GVN programs within a two year period.

We reserve the right to revise the application fee. All application fee revisions will be announced at least seven days in advance via the website. Please note that the application fee may not be the same as when you applied. Your application fee is valid for two years from the date you pay it. Your last trip using your fee has to start within two years of the date when the fee was originally paid.

GVN reserves the right to use feedback from volunteers for website material.

The Global Volunteer Network is not liable for any errors or mistakes made by partner organizations. All disputes are governed by the law of New Zealand. Program fees paid to our partners or paid to GVN directly are not refundable.

This site is presented solely for the purpose of promoting GVN services. This site is controlled and operated by GVN from its offices in Wellington, New Zealand. GVN makes no representation that materials in the site are appropriate or available for us in other locations. Those who choose to access this site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local law are applicable.
