1. Pay ment Conditions
A reservation deposit of US$500/GBP300/EURO300/AUD$500 per person (less any
pre-registration deposit already paid) is required at the time of booking. Final payment is due
60 days prior to the date of departure. Payment can be made by credit card (Visa, Mastercard),
money order, or personal check.
2. Alteration to Workshop Vacation Price
The Painting Workshop Vacation price is subject to change in the event of unforeseen
circumstances and changes in the cost of travel and accommodation services. Should any
increase in the Workshop Vacation price be unacceptable to the registered member, a full refund
of monies paid will be made.
3. Cancelation and Amendments
Cancellations received in writing 61 or more days from the date of departure will result in a
cancellation fee of US$300/GBP200/EURO200/AUD$300 per person cancelling. Cancellations
received 60 or fewer days before departure will result in a loss of all monies paid. There are
no refunds for services not utilized while on a Workshop Vacation. Travel insurance is highly
recommended to cover Workshop members for the consequences of unforeseen events during
the Workshop Vacation and for cancellation fees that could result from illness, accident,
death or other contingencies. Once a booking has been confirmed, one amendment to travel
arrangements will be made free-of-charge. Subsequent changes to travel arrangements will
incur an amendment fee of US$15/£10/AUD$25 per change.
4. Minimum Workshop Vacation Numbers
Each Painting Workshop Vacation has been priced on the basis of a minimum number of
members traveling. In the event that fewer than the minimum number of members have
confirmed their booking 60 days from the date of commencement, Travelrite International
reserves the right to cancel the Workshop Vacation, giving a full refund of monies paid, or to
offer arrangements to proceed with the Workshop Vacation at a modified price.
5. General
In the unlikely event that the Workshop tutor is unable to perform his or her duties due to
unforeseen contingencies, Travelrite International reserves the right to substitute another artist
as tutor or to continue with the Workshop Vacation as planned or to provide a cash refund to
Workshop members equivalent to the value of the Workshop leadership. International Artist
Painting Workshops can involve a considerable amount of walking and stair-climbing in the
regions visited and it is important that all members have a level of physical fitness that allows
them to take part in these activities without the need of assistance from others.
6. Tax Considerations
If you regularly sell your own paintings, you may fall into the semi-professional or professional
category for taxation purposes and the tour cost may be tax-deductible. We recommend that you
seek the advice of a qualified tax adviser.
7. Pre-Workshop Accommodation
Workshop transfers depart at midday (or prior) from the designated pick-up airport, so please
check each itinerary in this brochure for pick-up airport details. We request that Workshop
members organize their flights to arrive prior to midday on the commencement day of the
Workshop. If this is not possible then we recommend that Workshop members arrive a day early
and stay at the designated pre-Workshop hotel. Workshop members will be given details of the
pre-Workshop hotel upon their reservation for the Workshop. (Usually the Workshop Manager will
be staying at the pre-Workshop hotel the evening prior to the commencement of the Workshop.)
Travelrite International is happy to make reservations at the pre-Workshop hotel for all Workshop
members, at special rates. To make a reservation at a pre-Workshop hotel, please contact
Travelrite International at the contact numbers shown below.
