WESTON PHOTOGRAPHY LLC

REGISTRATION & WORKSHOP CANCELLATION POLICY

Payments

Please make all payments in US dollars payable to Gina Weston. Payment is required for each workshop you have registered for. To ensure your spot in the workshop is held if you are paying by check, please make sure we receive the payment within 7 to 10 days of receiving this notice. Credit Card payments are accepted if needed, please call us.

Registration Fee

Full payment is due at registration. Because each registration requires a certain amount of work and planning, your workshop payment includes a non-refundable $150.00 registration fee.

We highly recommend Travel Insurance and Medical Insurance when traveling Internationally.

Workshop Payment Refund

Private and Group Wildcat Studio Nude Workshops: If you cancel 60 days prior to the workshop, your workshop payment minus a $1,000 cancelation fee will be refunded.

Destination Workshops: If you cancel 150 days prior to the workshop, your workshop payment minus a $2,000 cancelation fee will be refunded.

After the above cutoff dates, you will forfeit the entire workshop registration unless we can find a qualified replacement.

If paying for a workshop via a deposit payment plan through Weston Photography, LLC the 1st deposit is non-refundable and the 2nd payment must be paid on the set deposit plan schedule.

If it is necessary for us to cancel a workshop, all registered participants will be notified at once, and you will receive a full refund of payments.

Notification of cancellation due to low enrollment will be made at least 14 days prior to the beginning of class. For this reason, we encourage you to purchase refundable airline tickets and consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance. The workshop will not be responsible for any loss on airline tickets or any other losses.

In the case of a COVID19 diagnosis (home test or professional test) which prevents you from attending a Weston Workshop, we reserve the right to retain the full tuition without a refund. We have the power to determine your eligibility to partake in a Weston Workshop in regards to your positive diagnosis. Participants must test negative 5 days prior to the start of the workshop if they had tested positive prior. If you have recently been exposed to someone with COVID but are vaccinated and don’t develop symptoms, we ask you test 24-48 hours before the start of the workshop.

Sometimes circumstances beyond our control force us to alter our plans. Weston Photography LLC cannot be held responsible for any unanticipated circumstances (such as natural disasters, park closures, inability to access locations, weather, pandemics, etc.) that either prevents you from attending or from us altering our location shoots. I will do my best to work around any unforeseen circumstances. TRAVEL INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR PERSONAL AGENT. We recommend that you purchase trip insurance to safeguard your investment (airfare, hotel, etc) in the unfortunate event you are unable to attend a program due to emergency, illness or otherwise.

Weston Photography LLC shall hold no responsibility or liability for personal injury to any participant or damage to any participant’s property, or for personal injuries or damage to the property of any other person resulting from the participant’s involvement in the workshop. Weston Photography reserves the right to cancel any workshop and to alter the time, context, or format of any workshop in the event circumstances require. In the event a workshop is cancelled, for any reason the extent of Weston Photography's LLC liability is limited to the return of all fees and deposits paid.
