1. A non-refundable deposit of the amount stated in the workshop description is required at the time of booking. It will only be refunded upon cancellation by Neil Burnell, or upon his discretion. However there is a grace period of 14 days in which a booking may be cancelled and the deposit refunded.

2. Any cancellation by the client must be made in writing or by email within 14 days to be eligible for a refund.

Neil Burnell accepts no responsibility or liability for clients who are unable to attend due to (but not limited to) illness, flight cancellation, family emergencies or other extenuating circumstances. Such eventualities are the responsibility of the client. It is advised that appropriate insurance is sought to cover these scenarios.

4. Neil Burnell reserves the right to cancel any workshop. Cancellations by Neil will be subject to a full refund of the workshop fee, however flights and other bookings made by the client will not be refunded. Cancellation will only occur due to force majeure or long in advance of the start date subject to under booking. It is advised that appropriate insurance is sought to cover cancellation. Force majeure is unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control such a fire (but not limited to), flood or adverse weather.

5. In the event of Neil Burnell being unable to attend due to illness or other circumstances beyond my control the workshop will be cancelled and a full refund applied.

For this reason the outline itinerary and the workshop description must be taken as an indication of what may take place on the workshop, and not as a contractual obligation on the part of Neil Burnell.
