Booking Terms and Conditions

1. A deposit of the amount stated in each workshop description is required at the time of booking. If you later cancel your place, we will refund (or transfer your deposit to another workshop) on the condition that i) you give us a minimum of 12-weeks notice prior to the workshop commencing and ii) we are able to successfully resell your place. A 10% handling fee will be deducted from any refunded deposit to cover the cost of payment gateway fees.   

2. The balance of the workshop fee is due 8 weeks prior to the commencement date. Should this final payment fail to reach us by the date specified, we reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled, re-sell the place and retain the deposit. If a booking is made 8 weeks or less prior to the departure date then the full amount is payable at the time of booking.

3. Any cancellation by the client must be made in writing. The date on which this is received by us will determine the cancellation charges applicable. These charges are expressed as a percentage of the total workshop price, and are as follows: 8-12 weeks before the workshop commences 50%; 8 weeks or less before the workshop commences 100%.

4. For one-day workshops, the full fee is payable at the time of booking. Any cancellation by the client for a one day workshop must be made in writing. If the cancellation falls within 12 weeks prior to the workshop no refund will be given. If the cancellation falls before this period a refund (less a 10% handling fee, deducted to cover the cost of payment gateway fees) will be given in the event that Dawn 2 Dusk Photography can resell the place.

5. Once a deposit has been paid a contract comes into existence between us.

6. Dawn 2 Dusk Photography reserves the right to cancel a booking at any time after receiving a deposit and / or booking form. In such cases, a full refund will be given. 

7. Dawn 2 Dusk Photography reserves the right to alter or cancel any workshop due to underbooking or force majeure (see clause 8).
