1. Definitions

For the purpose of this policy, the following terms are defined as follows:

“We” and “Us”: Watts Wildlife Photography LLC.

“Workshop”: Any photography workshop organized and hosted by Watts Wildlife Photography LLC.

“Participant”: The individual registered for the workshop.

“Deposit”: The initial payment made to reserve a spot.

“Future Workshop”: A Watts Wildlife Photography workshop occurring within two years of the start date of the originally scheduled workshop.

2. Payments

Reservation and Deposit

To reserve your spot on any workshop, a deposit is required. You will need to complete the General Liability Waiver and submit your deposit within 14 days of receiving payment instructions.

Payment Schedule

Final payment for all workshops is due 90 days prior to the start of the workshop, unless otherwise specified. For registrations made within 90 days of the workshop, the full balance is due immediately. Payments may be made by credit card (3% service charge added to all credit card payments) or check.

Late or Missed Payments

If final payment is not received by the due date, your workshop reservation will be forfeited without refund. If extra time is needed to send final payment, please let us know beforehand, and in some cases we may be able to make exceptions.

3. Cancellations

If you cancel more than 90 days before the workshop start date, you will receive a full refund minus a $250 cancellation fee, if and only if your spot on the workshop is filled by another paying client.

If your spot on the workshop is not filled by another paying client, a refund will not be issued.

Any cancellations that take place within 90 days of the workshop start date are non-refundable and non-transferable.

This is why it is imperative you protect your trip with travel insurance (see Section 8).

4. No-Show, Late Arrival, or Early Withdrawal

Participants are responsible for being at workshop events on time. No refunds, changes, or delays will be made if you miss any portion of the workshop for any reason, including, but not limited to, travel delays, injury, illness, emotional state, or other personal circumstances.

If you withdraw from the workshop on or after the first day, for any reason, no refunds, transfers, or credits of any kind will be issued.

5. Workshop Cancellation by Watts Wildlife Photography LLC

In the event of a force majeure, including, but not limited to, government shutdown, natural disaster, weather event, war, strikes, pandemic, epidemic, or any other reason beyond the control of Watts Wildlife Photography LLC, Watts Wildlife Photography LLC and its service providers reserve the right to cancel a workshop, change the dates of a workshop, change the itinerary of a workshop, or end a workshop early.

If Watts Wildlife Photography LLC cancels a workshop due to a force majeure, the full deposit paid can be transferred to a future workshop of your choice.

If Watts Wildlife Photography LLC cancels a workshop for any other reason, including but not limited to, bodily injury or illness of the workshop leader, too few participants signing up, or personal emergency, the full amount paid can be transferred to a future workshop of your choice.

No refunds will be issued in the event of a cancelled workshop.

6. Date Changes or Early Termination

If workshop dates are changed, a full refund will be issued to participants who are unable to attend the new dates, if and only if your spot on the workshop is filled by another paying client.

If your spot on the workshop is not filled by another paying client, a deposit refund will be issued, or the full amount paid can be transferred to a future workshop of your choice.

If a workshop is ended early, a 25% refund will be issued to all participants.

7. Credit/Debit Card Processing Fees

Any processing fees applied to credit card payments are non-refundable under any circumstances. Refunds issued for workshop payments or deposits will not include reimbursement for such fees. Furthermore, when transferring payment to a future workshop, any processing fees previously paid are excluded from the transfer amount and are not applied toward the new workshop.

8. Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is highly recommended to protect against unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you from attending, or lead to workshop cancellation or changes. It is best to purchase this as soon as possible after paying your deposit.

NOTE: The above policies only apply to workshops being organized and led by Watts Wildlife Photography LLC/Evan Watts. Some of the workshops found on this website are being led by Evan Watts, but are not being organized by Watts Wildlife Photography LLC. Any workshop that you book on a different website, through a different company, is not being organized by Watts Wildlife Photography LLC, and therefore the above polices do not apply. Each company will have it’s own terms and conditions.

At this time, the only workshop that the above policies apply to is the Brown Bears of the Alaskan Coast workshop. All other workshops on this website are being organized by a different company, and therefore will have different policies.
