You also acknowledge that you understand that travel with a group invariably involves compromise to accommodate the diverse desires, travel goals, personalities, and physical abilities of group members. You also understand that while itineraries are carefully planned, they are not a guaranteed schedule of activities, events, or participation, but only a guideline and example. Group participants must allow for flexibility and changes deemed necessary by the program leader or professional guides. There may be situations beyond our control due to geographic, climatic, physical, or governmental restrictions that will cause further changes in timing, locations, and activities. Understanding this, you further agree that there will be no discounts or refunds for activities curtailed or otherwise affected by such circumstances.

Cancellation or Change of a Workshop
Federico Antonello Photography will make every attempt to operate a trip once confirmed, we do reserve the right to cancel or change a trip, at any time due to insufficient bookings and/or reasons beyond our control that might create unsafe or undesirable travel conditions for the participants. In such a case, a full and immediate refund will be issued. However, this does not cover travel costs incurred (e.g. non-refundable air tickets, visa fees if applicable, clothing, equipment, miscellaneous transportation costs, medical expenses, travel insurance premiums, etc.). We reserve the right to refuse acceptance of any participant, for any reason, at any time. We are not responsible for any additional expenses incurred by such participants.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
We understand that attending our workshops requires advance commitment, and also that things can happen in life that may require you to cancel from a workshop. Based on the cancellation date, the following apply;
Greater than 90 days before the workshop start date: full refund of any payments made.
60 day or more: 50% refund
Within 60 days of the start of the workshop: no refund.
Refunds will be paid by the same method that the original payment was made.
Please note: If you need to cancel your attendance to the workshop, we will advertise the opening to others. If someone else signs up to fill your spot, we will refund you your deposit; however, this does not guarantee a refund, as cancellations inside 60 days of the workshop are very hard to fill due to the international travel involved with this trip.
