PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS

DISCLAIMER

The workshops and classes are dependent on weather conditions.

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY

Workshops : to secure your booking, a non-refundable deposit is necessary. This deposit is a percentage of the total price of the workshop. The exact percentage is calculated based on the total workshop cost, which may vary. This percentage represents the expenses related to the various services we must secure, all of whom require non-refundable deposits. Some workshops may require a higher initial deposit due to location-specific needs. Information about the specific deposit amounts can be found on the individual workshop page on our website and will be sent to you once we’ve received your registration form.

Full payment must be completed no later than 90 days before departure. If we do not receive your final payment by this date, we will notify you via email to request the final payment. Full payment needs to be made in order to confirm your booking. Failure to make this payment will result in the cancellation of your booking, and your spot will be offered to participants on the waiting list.

If you complete your registration for a workshop less than 90 days before the beginning of said workshop, the full payment is required. Failure to pay on time may result in the cancellation of your booking. If you wish to cancel your participation, please send us an email. Your cancellation is not considered to be valid until you receive a confirmation email from us acknowledging your cancellation.

Upon receiving your cancellation notification, we will charge the following fees per person.

In the event that you need to cancel your participation in the workshop, and your spot is filled by another participant, you will receive a refund of the total amount paid minus a 250 EUR service fee. However, if you cancel and your spot remains unfilled, your refund will be based on the following schedule :

Refunds will be done using the same method used when the original payment was made.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ACTIVITY RISKS AND TRAVEL INSURANCE RECOMMENDATION

I want to acknowledge the inherent risks that come with the activities I'm about to partake in, organized by the team and their associated entities (referred to as "the Workshop Guides"). Despite the considerable efforts made by the Workshop Guides to ensure my safety by providing appropriate equipment and experienced guides, I understand that these activities carry inherent risks. These risks can result in equipment damage, accidental injuries, illnesses, and, in rare instances, severe trauma or loss of life. The Workshop Guides aim to offer a rewarding experience while also responsibly disclosing these inherent risks to me. Some of these risks encompass weather-related events such as storms, lightning, and strong winds, exposure to extreme temperatures, injuries related to challenging terrains, falls from heights, accidents in the water, physical exertion-related ailments, and equipment damage.

I am well aware of the potential hazards associated with these activities, and I recognize that the list of inherent risks provided above is not exhaustive. There may be additional, unforeseen risks that could lead to injury or loss of life. I willingly accept full responsibility for the risks identified herein, as well as those risks that have not been explicitly mentioned. My participation in these activities is entirely voluntary, and no one has coerced me into joining. I have chosen to participate with full awareness of the inherent risks.

I acknowledge that these activities may demand a specific skill set and knowledge that sets them apart from other recreational pursuits. The Workshop Guides have offered comprehensive explanations regarding the nature of these activities, their physical demands, and the potential risks, hazards, and dangers involved. I confirm my capability to participate fully in these activities and acknowledge my accountability for any bodily harm, loss of personal property, and expenses incurred due to the identified and unidentified inherent risks, or due to my own negligence during my participation.

Furthermore, I strongly recommend considering the acquisition of travel insurance that encompasses the total value of the Trip and personal belongings, should you experience trip cancellations, baggage loss or theft, or require emergency evacuation. It is essential to understand that in the event of trip delays, cancellations, or early terminations for any reason, you may forfeit a portion or the entirety of the fees paid.

Travel insurance is a prudent means to mitigate the financial risks associated with delayed departures due to weather, airline strikes, missed connections, inability to travel due to illness, injury, unforeseen financial challenges, personal circumstances, or early trip termination for medical or other reasons.

It is advisable to thoroughly review the details of your insurance policy, as there may be certain restrictions and limitations in place.

Workshop Guides shall not assume any liability for potential accidents that may occur to customers during the workshops. Customers book workshops at their own discretion and shall be solely responsible for any accident. We therefore strongly advise customers to take out an appropriate insurance plan covering potential accidents.

It is important to note that Workshop Guides do not function as mountain or alpine guides; they exclusively serve as instructors for landscape photography. The workshops are conducted at the designated and advertised location, and it is the customers' sole responsibility to independently reach the workshop location, assuming all associated risks. Workshop Guides shall not be held accountable for any potential accidents that may occur during the journey to access the workshop location, be it on a hiking trail or road.

ITINERARY CHANGES

I reserve the right to change the workshop/class dates, itinerary, or accommodations. I reserve the right to change the itinerary due to weather conditions, political conditions and other factors beyond our control without consulting the participants. It is understood that such decisions will be made in the best interests of all participants and with regards to safety first. Participants have no right to any refund or other considerations in the event of these inevitable itinerary changes. If a trip must be delayed, or the itinerary changed due to bad weather, road conditions, transportation delays, government intervention, sickness, volcanic eruptions or other contingency, the cost of delays or changes is not included.

WORKSHOP CANCELLATION

I reserve the right to cancel workshops/classes before departure for any reason whatsoever, including too few participants or logistical problems, or any other circumstances which may make the trip inadvisable. All trip payments received will be refunded, and this refund will be the limit of my liability. I am not responsible for any expenses incurred by trip members in preparing for the trip, such as nonrefundable or penalty-carrying airline tickets, visa or passport fees or other trip related expenses.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

I assume no responsibility whatsoever for injuries, loss or damage to person or property in connection with any service resulting directly from: detention, annoyance, delays, expenses arising from quarantine, strikes, thefts, pilferage, failure of any means of conveyance to arrive or depart as scheduled, civil disturbances, terrorism, government restrictions or regulations and discrepancies or changes in transit or hotel services over which I have no control. In case of a medical problem arising during the expedition, which results in costs for evacuation, use of an aircraft or repatriation, the responsibility for the payment of these costs belongs solely to the participant of the class/workshop. I advise that participants ensure that such eventualities are covered by their travel insurance. If the costs are not covered by their travel insurance, then the responsibility still belongs to the passenger and I specifically decline any responsibility whatsoever.
