Terms & Conditions

Cancellations and Refunds:

IF WE CHANGE OR CANCEL A photoshoot

We may contact you to notify you regarding your account, to troubleshoot problems with your account, to resolve a dispute, to collect fees or monies owed, to poll your opinions through surveys or questionnaires, to send updates about our company, or as otherwise necessary to contact you to enforce our User Agreement, applicable national laws, and any agreement we may have with you. For these purposes we may contact you via email, telephone, text messages, and postal mail.

​

We do our best to avoid any cancellations and changed to our scheduled sesions. However, given the long term awareness and ability for customer to book for some trips, this can be sometimes unavoidable. We must therefore reserve the right to cancel or make changes to all our trips. This includes cancellations due to force majeure or under booking. See definitions below. With the exception of force majeure, these changes can be major or minor.

In the case of a major change or cancellation (a major change is defined as a change to accommodation of a lower rating for all of your holiday or a change of holiday dates) we will advise you as soon as possible and we give you the following options:

• Accept the new arrangements

• In case of an external agency booking is involved: Use your flight and do the trip anyway with the agency and get a partial refund of all payments except the agency fees already paid

• Take an alternative holiday subject to availability (if a lower price we will refund the difference; if a higher price you must pay the difference)

• Withdraw and accept a full refund of all monies paid (excluding holiday insurance premiums or additional costs we have incurred on your behalf, such as local agency fees)

In the event of a minor change (any change that is not defined as a major change above or force majeure), the above options will not be available to you. Every trip is slightly different when executing, so the descriptions and the schedules on the page are possible to change, many times for your own benefit. We also reserve the right for any reason or at any time, at our sole discretion, to decline to accept or to retain any person on a holiday as a client particularly if their conduct is disruptive and affecting the enjoyment of other participants on the trip, and we shall be under no liability for any costs incurred by such a person as a result of our doing so.

FORCE MAJEURE is the unusual and unforeseeable circumstance beyond our control, the consequences of which neither we or our suppliers could avoid, examples of which are war or threat of war, hostilities, labor conflicts, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions, level of water in rivers, or other similar events beyond our control. In these cases, Swiss Photo Club may cancel the proposed voyage without liability to refund passage money or fares paid in advance.

UNDER BOOKING is the situation in which a minimum number of clients required to operate a photo session is not met. That number is typically about 5 and we may cancel the session in these circumstances. In this instance, you are entitled to receive a full refund for any costs paid to Geoff Pegler Photography (excluding flights or additional costs you have incurred as a result of booking the holiday / trip yourself). Therefore it’s important to wait for our confirmation of the trip before you book your flights or other other expenses such as accommodation, if your participation is based on a Geoff Pegler Photography event alone.
