Balance is payable on booking and the workshops are non-refundable.
Please note:
Clear skies cannot be guaranteed on UK workshops, Ollie operates his workshops as fairly as possible by designating two-day slots to each workshop in-order to commence photographic work on the one with the best-looking weather. Please be aware that no refunds can be given for overcast skies and general nightscape practice methods will still be taught and work will also commence in light showers. For heavy downpours and complete washouts, an extra night may be added to the workshop to help aid fieldwork success; for those not able to attend an extra night, an alternate date will be offered that is usually some months away, however, this will be agreed by mutual consent.
2. UK Workshops (accommodation provided)
For workshops with accommodation provided, a non-refundable deposit is payable on booking with the entire balance due 90 days before the workshop commences, if the workshop is booked within 120 days of the course start date, the full balance is payable. If the client cancels the workshop up to 120 days prior to the workshop commencing it becomes non-refundable (unless written prior agreement between Ollie and the client is in place).
3. Photography Tours Outside of the UK Mainland
For photography tours outside of the UK mainland, deposits are non refundable. The entire balance is due 120/150 days before the workshop commences dependign on the location and cost of the tour.

All cancellations must be provided by the client in writing (email with read receipt excepted). All workshops exclude travel to the actual location/pick up point, course participants are responsible for their own flights, trains, ferries, and car journeys to the location specified upon booking.
Ollie reserves the right to cancel a tour due to unforseen circumstances, replace the tutor in the event of Ollie being able to unatend, or increase/decrease group size and add tutors assistance as required.
Due to the nature of landscape photography, night photography, and landscape astrophotography, and the inability to control the natural elements, no refunds will be made for adverse weather to include heavy rain, snow, ice, flooding, earthquake, fire, sudden adverse wind conditions, or other severe conditions caused by nature that put safety at risk, or in the case of landscape astrophotography, cloud cover. This also extends to disease and acts of human behaviour unforeseeable and beyond control. Including but not limited to; fire, nuclear disaster, terrorism, threats of war, civil strife and acts of unrest.

Ollie reserves the right to cancel tours if accommodation, minivans, or other operational elements render the tour inoperable. For instances of cancellation on Ollie’s part which are extremely rare, deposits and course fees will be reimbursed, but travel outside of the tour, including to arrive at the tour destination, is non-reimbursable by Ollie Taylor Photography.
Flights must be covered on personal insurance, in which case, all the relevant documentation from Ollie will be provided for any insurance claims.
If you are travelling to the area especially for a workshop, we strongly recommend that you purchase trip cancellation insurance. Receipt of deposit does not guarantee acceptance on the requested workshop, this will be confirmed within one to two days via email. Ollie or anyone contracted to Ollie can not be held resposible for changes and delays to flights within the workshops, or any other means of travel used to attend the workshops as these are outside of our control.
Ollie Taylor reserves the right to change any prices indicated. If a deposit has been paid for a workshop during a price change, the client will pay the original price the workshop was advertised for, or the remainder balance reduced to suit any reduction.
Hours of tuition indicated will include any breaks required during the specified hours. For full-day packages breaks and travel from the shoot location to the office, or place of desk-based tuition, will be incorporated into the day/hourly rate (thus tutorial time may vary depending upon locations used, and number/length of breaks taken).
Ollie Taylor will endeavour to be as flexible as possible, in light of the nature the work, to ensure the course operates and there is a mixture of both field-based and desk-based tuition in cases where both are booked. This may mean the course structure is altered from time to time during the duration of workshops. Where field-based work becomes impossible due to weather conditions, desk-based tuition will still go ahead regardless with the option of extended theory.
It is a term of contract between Ollie Taylor and the clients that they must have adequate travel insurance in place and declare any illnesses mental or physical that may render a potential participant ineligible to be able to partake in certain workshops. We also recommend you have adequate equipment insurance, an email disclaimer will be sent out to participants to be returned to Ollie and regarded as digital signature in light of equipment insurance.
