BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The following terms as used in these Booking Terms and Conditions shall be considered synonymous: workshop, vacation, all of which refer to the arrangements being booked with Digital Photo Mentor.

Additionally, the following terms: client, guest, participant, member, attendee, all refer to you, as the workshop participant. Digital Photo Mentor shall be referred to as DPM.

These booking terms and conditions are expressly made part of this form.

Liability Release and Assumption of Risk Agreement
Proof of Travel insurance with a USD of $100,000. Medical evacuation policy is a necessary requirement for participation on this trip

RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENTS

Payment of a non-refundable reservation fee of $500 (or the amount stated on the website) of the workshop fee, along with a completed and signed Reservations Booking Form and a completed and signed Liability Release and Assumption of Risk Agreement are required in order to confirm your reservation. Upon receipt of your signed Reservations and Release forms and your reservation fee we will, subject to availability, reserve your place on your selected workshop.

The balance of the workshop price is due no later than 60 days prior to the dates of the workshop. Final payments must be made by credit card or Electronic Funds Transfer for the invoice we will send you. Upon receipt of your full payment and required documents all final workshop information, clothing lists, photography, tips, etc., will be sent to you by email.

All prices are quoted in Canadian dollars and must be paid in Canadian dollars.

Payment in full is required when a booking is made less than 60 days before the workshop start date. Balance payments are due 60 days before the start of the workshop.

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY:

Reservation Fee – if you decide to cancel and we are able to refill your space, your reservation fee will be refunded. If we cannot refill your space, we cannot refund your reservation fee.

Workshop Fee (balance) – if you cancel your workshop the following charges will be payable:

Cancellations are only effective upon notification by email to darlene (at) digitalphotomentor (dot) com. The initial $500 reservation fee is used to secure the accommodations and is therefore non-refundable. If the balance has not been received 60 days prior to workshop commencement, DPM shall be entitled, at their own discretion, to treat your reservation as cancelled, and the reservation fee shall be forfeited. If you need to cancel prior to the final payment all efforts will be made to resell your spot thus being able to return your reservation fee but there are no guarantees.

Cancellation made after final payment fees:

In the event of a cancellation, your initial deposit is non-refundable unless we can fill your spot.
Final invoices will be issued 90 days before the workshop and due 60 days in advance of the start date.
Cancellation more than 60 days in advance – you will get a full refund of your final payment (not including your $500 deposit).
Cancellation 31-60 days in advance a 75% refund of your final payment will apply (not including your $500 deposit).
Cancellation 15-30 days in advance 50% refund of your final payment will apply (not including your $500 deposit).
Cancellation less than 14 days before the workshop – no refund will be issued. At that point hotel rooms, meals, and other booking fees will have been paid in advance and cannot be returned to the workshop organizers, so any last minute cancellations, unfortunately, cannot be refunded and the full balance is the retainer fee.

Should you fail to join a workshop, join it after starting or leave it prior to its completion, no workshop refund will be made. There will be no refunds from DPM for any unused portions of the workshop. The above policy applies to all travel arrangements made via DPM.

AIRFARE & DELAYS

DPM is not responsible for any airline schedule or airfare changes, cancellations, overbooking, damage or loss of baggage and property to the extent that such items are beyond its control. Any and all claims for any loss or injury suffered on any airline must be made directly with the airline involved and not DPM. Air schedule changes may necessitate additional nights being added to your stay. Provided these schedule changes are beyond the control of DPM, any resulting additional costs must be borne by the guest. DPM cannot be held liable for any delays or additional costs incurred as a result of airlines not running to schedule.

WORKSHOP CANCELLATION:

DPM shall not be held responsible for occurrences that are beyond its control, such as strikes, wars, acts of God, acts of government, civil unrest or any other cause whatsoever, beyond its control, that may make operation of the workshop impossible, illegal or inadvisable. All workshop payments received will be promptly refunded, and this refund will be the limit of DPM’s liability. DPM is not responsible for any expenses incurred by workshop participants in preparing for the workshop, including non-refundable or penalty-carrying airline tickets, special clothing, visa or passport fees, or other workshop related expenses.

GUEST REPRESENTATION AND CONSENT:

The person making any booking with DPM, warrants that he or she has authority to enter into a contract on behalf of all other persons included in such a booking and in the event of the failure of any or all of the other persons so included to make payment, the person making the booking shall by his/her signature thereof assume personal liability for the total price of all bookings made by him/her. The payment of the reservation fee or any other partial payment for a reservation on a workshop constitutes consent by all guests covered by that payment to all provisions of the Terms and Conditions contained herein whether the guest has signed the booking form or not. The terms, under which you agree to take these workshops, cannot be changed or amended except in writing signed by an authorized representative of DPM.
