The workshop of your choice is reserved by making a $300 or $500 deposit, depending on the workshop. This can be a check payable to 1 World Art Travel at 69 Bank Street Suite 102 New York, NY 10014 or by using the credit card of your choice.
Workshop registration is on a first-come, first served basis, determined by the date of your deposit. Balance must be paid upon receipt of the invoice, otherwise, your space may be relinquished.
Deposits are refundable minus 20% administrative fee within 75 days prior to the starting date of any workshop. Deposits are non-refundable within 45 days of the starting date of any workshop. If you have paid in full, then cancel and your space is filled refunds are made, minus 20% of the total amount of the workshop. If your place cannot be filled, you will receive full credit (minus a 20% change fee) with a two-year time limit on its use. Refunds on any payments made with credit cards will subtract the fee to process the original payment - usually 2.9%. If you do request and receive a full or partial refund and then 1WorldArtTravel cancels the trip at a later date, there will be no retroactive refund payments made to you.
It is highly recommended that you invest in travel/trip insurance. There is a category called Cancel for Any Reason (CAFR) that is an option explained here. The Cancel For Any Reason benefit must be purchased within 14 to 21 days of your initial trip payment, so when you do purchase your insurance plan make sure you list the initial payment date within 14–21 days of your purchase and have documentation to prove date of payment. CAFR may not be available to New York residents. Please do your research.
We sometimes travel during hurricane season. It is your responsibility to understand what your protection is from a trip that is cancelled due to weather reasons. Please read this article.
After full payment is received If in taking your credit, you choose a workshop lower in value than the original one, you will not receive the difference. If you receive a credit and apply all or part to another workshop, and that one is cancelled, the credit will apply to any future workshop within a two-year window.
The teacher and/or location will be replaced only in the event of necessity. If a teacher cancels, 1WorldArtTravel will find the best possible substitute available. If your final payment is made before the cancellation by the instructor, there will be no refund. There will however be a credit lasting two years from the date of notification of the instructor's cancellation. In the case of the teacher not arriving at the workshop location, there will be no refunds. A substitute teacher will take over the class.
If you sign up for single occupancy and switch to double occupancy after arriving at the workshop lodging, there will be no reimbursement for the change. However, if you sign up for double occupancy and change to single occupancy, you will need to pay the difference.
Due to the fluctuations in the Euro 1WorldArtTravel may need to re-price the trip costs if the exchange rate changes by more than 10 percent either way at the time the final payment is due. The cost of a workshop might increase or decrease during the course of the year based on the fluctuation of the Euro.
Release forms will be sent to you at some point after receipt of your deposit and must be signed and returned with your final payment. During the course of the year you will receive information covering: using credit and debit cards vs traveler's checks, materials lists, lodging details, use of long distance phone cards, travel insurance, health insurance - everything you need to know to make this a truly fabulous experience. You must be able to function in a workshop environment (carry and set up your own equipment) without assistance.
1WorldArtTravel is not responsible for reimbursements of nonrefundable airline tickets due to cancellation of the workshop. Travel insurance is recommended as explained above . Location can be changed under agreement with instructor. Lodging can be changed due to unforeseen circumstances. Once full payment is made, there will be no reimbursements or refunds if the client either arrives later or departs earlier than the workshop dates. 1WorldArtTravel is not responsible for additional services that are not included in the workshop description.
1WorldArtTravel will not share any private information with other parties for any reason.
