US$500/£500/EUR500/AUD$500 per person is required at
the time of booking. Final payment is due 60 days prior to
the date of departure.
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. Cancellation and Amendments:
Cancellations received
in writing 61 or more days from the date of departure will
result in a cancellation fee of US$500/GBP500/EURO500/
AUD$500 per person cancelling. Cancellations received

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 in addition to supplier
charges.
4. Minimum Workshop Vacation Numbers:
Each Painting
Workshop Vacation has been priced on the basis of a
minimum number of members travelling. 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 the scheduled time in the brochure from the
designated pickup 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
members arrive at least 90 minutes prior to departure time
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.)
