1. Bookings and Payments
Your place is confirmed once I’ve received your payment or, where a progress-payment arrangement has been agreed, your deposit.
- Full payment is required at booking unless we’ve agreed to a progress-payment arrangement.
- Progress payments are available by prior arrangement and must follow the payment schedule confirmed at booking.
- All progress payments must be completed by 30 November in the calendar year preceding your Summer Impressions program.
- Payments made by bank transfer are preferred for progress-payment arrangements.
2. Progress-Payment Deposit
A $200 deposit is required to secure a booking made under a progress-payment arrangement.
- The deposit forms part of your total workshop fee. It is not an additional charge.
- The deposit is non-refundable if you cancel your booking or if your booking is cancelled because you haven’t met your agreed payment obligations.
- The deposit is included in any larger cancellation charge that applies under the conditions below. It is not charged in addition to that amount.
- If I cancel Summer Impressions for reasons unrelated to your payment obligations, the deposit will be refunded in full.
3. Cancellations by You
The following cancellation deadlines apply to all Summer Impressions weeks, regardless of which week you’re booked to attend.
All dates refer to the calendar year immediately preceding your Summer Impressions program.
On or before 31 October
- Full-payment bookings: Refund of the workshop fee, less a 10% administration fee.
- Progress-payment bookings: Refund of payments received, less the $200 non-refundable deposit.
From 1 November to 30 November, inclusive
- A 50% cancellation charge applies to the full workshop fee.
- Any refund due will be calculated from payments already received.
- For progress-payment bookings, the $200 deposit is included in the 50% cancellation charge, not added to it.
From 1 December
- No refund is available under the standard cancellation conditions.
Cancellation requests must be made in writing.
4. Refunds When a Cancelled Place Is Filled
If you cancel after 31 October and I’m able to fill your place with another student, I may offer an additional refund.
- For full-payment bookings, the refund will be the amount paid, less a 10% administration fee and any applicable non-refundable PayPal transaction fee.
- For progress-payment bookings, the refund will be the amount paid, less the $200 non-refundable deposit.
- Any additional refund is conditional on the replacement student confirming their booking and paying their workshop fee in full.
- The refund will be processed only after I have received the replacement student’s full payment.
- Finding a replacement student is not guaranteed.
5. Missed Progress Payments
Progress payments must be made according to the payment schedule agreed at booking.
If a scheduled payment is missed, I’ll send an email reminder.
If payment remains outstanding, I’ll send a final notice giving you seven days to make the payment or contact me to discuss an arrangement.
If I haven’t received payment or heard from you within those seven days, I may cancel your booking and offer your place to another student.
If your booking is cancelled because you haven’t met your payment obligations:
- Your $200 deposit will be retained.
- Any additional refund will be calculated according to the cancellation conditions applicable when your booking is cancelled.
- Where an additional refund is conditional on filling your place, it will only be processed once the replacement student has paid their workshop fee in full.
- I’ll contact you to arrange payment of any refund due by bank transfer.
If the applicable cancellation charge exceeds the amount you’ve already paid, no refund will be due.
6. Changing Your Summer Impressions Week
If you need to change your booked week, please contact me as soon as possible.
Transfer requests will be considered individually and may be able to be arranged if another place is available or a suitable swap can be organised.
Transfers are not guaranteed and must be confirmed by me in writing.
Once a transfer has been confirmed, the booking cannot be transferred again or refunded if you subsequently cancel.
7. Cancellation or Interruption by Me
If I cancel Summer Impressions before it begins
If I need to cancel your Summer Impressions week due to illness, insufficient enrolments or unforeseen circumstances, you’ll receive a full refund of all payments made, including any deposit.
Alternatively, you may choose another available arrangement if one can be agreed.
If I’m unable to complete the program after it has commenced
If illness or unforeseen circumstances prevent me from completing your Summer Impressions week, I’ll endeavour to arrange replacement tuition for the affected sessions.
If suitable replacement tuition cannot be arranged, you’ll receive an appropriate refund for the portion of the program that cannot be delivered, in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.
8. PayPal Payments and Refunds
If you pay via PayPal, and you cancel your booking and are eligible for a refund, any PayPal transaction fee that is not refunded to me by PayPal may be deducted from your refund.
If I cancel Summer Impressions, I’ll cover any PayPal transaction fees and provide the full refund due.
9. Additional Information
Summer Impressions places are limited, and bookings are accepted subject to availability.
Any exception to these Terms and Conditions is at my discretion and must be confirmed in writing.
These Terms and Conditions may be updated from time to time. The conditions applicable to your booking are those in effect when your booking was confirmed, unless otherwise agreed.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes, restricts or modifies your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
These Terms and Conditions apply to Summer Impressions bookings from the 2028 program onwards.
