    WORKSHOP REGISTRATION & CANCELLATION POLICY

    Payments

    Please make all payments in US dollars payable to Gina Weston. Payment is required for each workshop you have registered for. To ensure your spot in the workshop is held if you are paying by check, please make sure we receive the payment within 7 to 10 days of receiving this notice. Credit Card payments are accepted if needed, please call us.

    Registration Fee

    Full payment is due at registration. Because each registration requires a certain amount of work and planning, your workshop payment includes a non-refundable $150.00 registration fee.

    We highly recommend Travel Insurance and Medical Insurance when traveling Internationally.

    Workshop Payment Refund

    Private and Group Wildcat Studio Nude Workshops: If you cancel 60 days prior to the workshop, your workshop payment minus a $1,000 cancelation fee will be refunded.

    Destination Workshops: If you cancel 150 days prior to the workshop, your workshop payment minus a $2,000 cancelation fee will be refunded.

    After the above cutoff dates, you will forfeit the entire workshop registration unless we can find a qualified replacement.

    If paying for a workshop via a deposit payment plan through Weston Photography, LLC the 1st deposit is non-refundable and the 2nd payment must be paid on the set deposit plan schedule.

    If it is necessary for us to cancel a workshop, all registered participants will be notified at once, and you will receive a full refund of payments.

    Notification of cancellation due to low enrollment will be made at least 14 days prior to the beginning of class. For this reason, we encourage you to purchase refundable airline tickets and consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance. The workshop will not be responsible for any loss on airline tickets or any other losses.

    In the case of a COVID19 diagnosis (home test or professional test) which prevents you from attending a Weston Workshop, we reserve the right to retain the full tuition without a refund. We have the power to determine your eligibility to partake in a Weston Workshop in regards to your positive diagnosis. Participants must test negative 5 days prior to the start of the workshop if they had tested positive prior. If you have recently been exposed to someone with COVID but are vaccinated and don’t develop symptoms, we ask you test 24-48 hours before the start of the workshop.

    Sometimes circumstances beyond our control force us to alter our plans. Weston Photography LLC cannot be held responsible for any unanticipated circumstances (such as natural disasters, park closures, inability to access locations, weather, pandemics, etc.) that either prevents you from attending or from us altering our location shoots. I will do my best to work around any unforeseen circumstances. TRAVEL INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR PERSONAL AGENT. We recommend that you purchase trip insurance to safeguard your investment (airfare, hotel, etc) in the unfortunate event you are unable to attend a program due to emergency, illness or otherwise.

    Weston Photography LLC shall hold no responsibility or liability for personal injury to any participant or damage to any participant’s property, or for personal injuries or damage to the property of any other person resulting from the participant’s involvement in the workshop. Weston Photography reserves the right to cancel any workshop and to alter the time, context, or format of any workshop in the event circumstances require. In the event a workshop is cancelled, for any reason the extent of Weston Photography's LLC liability is limited to the return of all fees and deposits paid.

Receiving Party shall carefully restrict access to Confidential Information to employees, contractors and third parties as is reasonably required and shall require those persons to sign nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective as those in this Agreement. Receiving Party shall not, without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party, use for Receiving Party's benefit, publish, copy, or otherwise disclose to others, or permit the use by others for their benefit or to the detriment of Disclosing Party, any Confidential Information. Receiving Party shall return to Disclosing Party any and all records, notes, and other written, printed, or tangible materials in its possession pertaining to Confidential Information immediately if Disclosing Party requests it in writing. 


    4. Time Periods. The nondisclosure provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Receiving Party's duty to hold Confidential Information in confidence shall remain in effect until the Confidential Information no longer qualifies as a trade secret or until Disclosing Party sends Receiving Party written notice releasing Receiving Party from this Agreement, whichever occurs first. 


    5. Relationships. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute either party a partner, joint venture or employee of the other party for any purpose. 


    6. Severability. If a court finds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall be interpreted so as best to affect the intent of the parties. 


    7. Integration. This Agreement expresses the complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter and supersedes all prior proposals, agreements, representations, and understandings. This Agreement may not be amended except in writing signed by both parties. 


    8. Waiver. The failure to exercise any right provided in this Agreement shall not be a waiver of prior or subsequent rights. 


    9. Notice of Immunity. Employee is provided notice that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (i) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
