The full Registration Fee or, if permitted by the Registration Form, a portion of the Registration Fee to be held as a deposit, are due and payable to JKP LLC immediately upon submission of the Registration Form. If a deposit only is paid with submission of the Registration Form, Participant shall pay the balance of the Registration Fee to JKP LLC online on or before the date that is specified in the Registration Form.
Number of Participants:
JKP LLC may cancel the Workshop if the minimum number of participants, as specified in the Registration Form, has not been reached at any time prior to the Workshop. A full refund will be issued if the minimum number has not been reached. JKP LLC reserves the right to add a reasonable number of participants at its discretion.
Accommodations:
Participant is responsible for booking their own hotel room(s) and is strongly encouraged to do so as early as possible. Hotels typically do not hold rooms for the Workshop and usually have a limited number of rooms that are part of a group block.
Airfare:
Airfare is the responsibility of Participant and is not included in the Registration Fee. Participant should arrange to arrive the day before the Workshop begins. JKP LLC is not responsible for ensuring Participant’s timely arrival and no refunds will be issued if Participant misses part or all of the Workshop due to delays in Participant’s travel arrangements. Participant may wish to arrive early or stay afterwards and spend time exploring on Participant’s free time.
Transportation:
If transportation is not expressly included in the Workshop Services, it is the responsibility of Participant to provide their own transportation to the gardens or other locations where the Workshop will take place.
Itinerary:
Weather and other circumstances outside of JKP LLC’s control may call for a change in plans. JKP LLC will use commercially reasonable efforts to visit the gardens and/or other Workshop locations just prior to the Workshop to determine whether any changes to the Workshop destinations need to be made.
Cancellation or Substitution by JKP LLC:
Failure to Meet Minimum Number: A full refund will be issued to Participant if JKP LLC cancels the Workshop for failure to meet the minimum number of participants.
Incapacity/Unavailability of Jackie Kramer: JKP LLC reserves the right to either (i) cancel the Workshop and issue a full refund to Participant, or (ii) insert a substitute Workshop leader, if Jackie Kramer or any other workshop leader associated with this particular event becomes incapacitated or is otherwise unavailable to lead the Workshop.
Force Majeure: The Contract and JKP LLC’s performance thereunder are subject to all contingencies beyond JKP LLC’s reasonable control (whether or not now in contemplation of JKP LLC or Participant), including but not limited to force majeure, strikes or labor disputes, floods, civil commotion, widespread illness (including a pandemic or epidemic), weather, war, riot, unrest, acts of God, any change of laws, seizures, requisitions, instructions, regulations, restrictions, or actions of any government or any agency or subdivision thereof, casualties, fires, accidents, embargoes, quotas, shortages of labor, materials, merchandise, fuel, power or transportation facilities, inability to or delay in procuring supportive products or services from JKP LLC’s usual sources or in its usual manner or other casualty or contingency beyond JKP LLC’s control. In any such event, JKP LLC shall not be liable to Participant for any damages and shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) reschedule or modify the Workshop (including changing the date and/or location or switching to a virtual format) without any liability to Participant for any costs or expenses incurred by Participant, such as airfare, hotel accommodations, visas, or any other costs associated with such rescheduling or modification; or (ii) cancel the Workshop and issue a refund to Participant of amounts paid with respect to the Workshop less a $300.00 administrative fee.
Participant’s Behavior: JKP LLC retains the right to refuse service to Participant at any time before the start date or during the Workshop based on the conduct of Participant or any guest of Participant including, but not limited to, disrespectful behavior toward the Workshop leader(s) or others, complaints from other Workshop participants, or safety concerns. There will be no refunds paid if JKP LLC exercises this right and it is the responsibility physically and financially of Participant, and his or her guest(s), if applicable, to remove themselves immediately from the Workshop upon the request of any Workshop leader or other representative of JKP LLC.
Notice: In the event of cancellation or modification of the Workshop by JKP LLC, JKP LLC shall provide Participant prompt notice; provided that no written notice shall be required for cancellation during the Workshop under the section entitled “Participant’s Behavior” above.
Cancellation by Participant:
Given the significant costs that JKP LLC incurs in setting up Workshops and due to the difficulty of filling vacancies close to the workshop date, JKP LLC will ONLY issue a refund to Participant if a replacement is located and ONLY if participant has provided written or email notice to JKP LLC 30 days or more before the first day of the Workshop. JKP LLC shall refund all of the Registration Fee or the deposit thereon paid by Participant, less a $300.00 transfer fee, to Participant upon replacement’s successful registration and payment in full for the Workshop. JKP LLC bears no responsibility in locating replacements, but will attempt to help locate one. JKP LLC bears no responsibility in locating replacements, but will attempt to help locate one.
Travel Insurance:
Because unanticipated circumstances can occur, Participant is strongly encouraged to purchase travel insurance immediately upon registration. Please note that many policies that allow one to Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) require that insurance be purchased within 14 days of placing your initial deposit or payment of the trip. JKP LLC does not provide travel insurance; however, there are several companies that offer travel insurance that will cover the Workshop.
It is highly recommended that Participant purchase insurance that covers airfare, baggage loss or mishandling, lodging, medical emergencies, registration fees, and camera equipment. Because of the changing marketplace, JKP LLC suggests that Participant conduct research immediately after registering to determine the best carriers for Participant. Note that full coverage of Participant’s travel related to the Workshop might require multiple policies.
