Cancellation by You
If you wish to cancel your booking please let us know using the contact form with as much notice as possible. If nothing else, this can avoid them delaying the start of the event while they wait for you.
Cancellation by us
In most cases, events will proceed despite poor weather unless, in the view of the event leader, the weather will lead to unacceptable safety risks or very little chance of successful photography. It is inevitable, however, that occasionally an event will be cancelled for this or another reason beyond the RPS’s control.
Occasionally an event may also be cancelled owing to lack of bookings. So if you wish to attend an event, don’t leave it till the last minute to book as it may be too late.
If an event is cancelled we will give you as much notice as we are able. In the case of events cancelled because of lack of interest we will aim to give at least one weeks’ notice wherever possible.
Please note we are not able to refund any associated or consequential costs including but not limited to travel, accommodation, insurance premium or other costs incurred by you in order to attend the event.
Responsibility
You are responsible for your own health and safety and must appraise your own strength, fitness and mobility; and be prepared for the terrain, changing weather conditions etc. The event leader is not responsible for your safety, welfare or attendant medical conditions. Strictly the event leader is there to introduce you to a location.
You are responsible for your equipment etc at all times; use suitable bags for carrying it.
Car-sharing lifts with fellow participants, or the event leader, is at your own risk. Those offering car-sharing lifts may only do so provided that they have suitable insurance cover.
Liability for any accident, injury, medical condition, loss or damage to property, inappropriate behaviour, dress, equipment and third party liability is accepted by you when signing up for the event. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Royal Photographic Society from all claims of whatsoever nature.
