You understand and accept that traveling with a group requires a certain level of flexibility and adaptibility and it involves compromise to accommodate the diverse desires, expectations and physical abilities of the members. You also acknowledge that while itineraries are carefully planned, they are not a guaranteed schedule of the activities and they must be intended as only a guideline and example. You therefore agree to allow for flexibility and changes deemed necessary by the Workshop/Tour's leader or professional guides. There may be situations beyond our control due to geographic,climatic, physical, or governmental restrictions that will cause further changes in timing, locations, and activities. Understanding this, you further agree that there will be no discounts or refunds for activities curtailed or otherwise affected by such circumstances. While Paolo De Faveri Photography will put in place every attempt to run a Workshop/Tour once confirmed, we do reserve the right to change the dates or the itinerary or even cancel a Workshop/Tour, at any time due to insufficient bookings and/or for reasons that go beyond our control and might create unsafe or undesirable travel conditions for the participants.
