SECTION 20 - CANCELLATION

ICON Photo Tours understands how disappointing it can be when you have an emergency or other situation come up which forces you to cancel your trip, especially after making initial plans. We too are in the same position as we must organize and make non-refundable deposits in your behalf to secure accommodations, transportation and other resources to pull together memorable workshops and experiences. Often times this occurs up to 18 months in advance. Due to theses processes, ICON Photo Tours must remain fair balanced to all guests and strictly adhere to our cancellation / refund policies for all participants.

Domestic Cancellation Policy: We understand that things come up. If you cannot attend and wish to cancel your contract prior to 90 days from the start of the event, one must call ICON Photo Tours at 801-360-3546 and express the need for cancellation as well as in writing to ensure the message has been received and documented.

Upon discussing and communicating the cancellation, one may elect for a credit for a future workshop OR receive their full deposit ONLY IF the space can be filled minus $300 administrative AND any non recoverable transaction fees. Within 90 days of the start of the event there will be no credits / refunds as it is extremely difficult to fill the space on that short of notice.. Tickets are non-transferable.

International Cancellation Policy: A deposit is non refundable and required to hold a spot for all International Workshops and Tours. International Tours are typically a collaboration with a 3rd party which require funds up front to reserve your place in the workshop. Lodging, meals, transportation and other services as part of the workshop are arranged and paid for with the deposit funds upon your booking.

All listed details are subject to change. In the event that guests or guides circumstances change, it does not meet the criteria for a credit or refund. Icon Photo Tours is not responsible if a guest or guide does not fulfill their contract and this does not constitute an exception to the refund policy, nor does it qualify for a refund after the event takes place. There will be no refunds for no-show

The Benefit for you of a Non-Refundable Deposit

ICON Photo Tours asks this in exchange for us managing and reserving our services for you on a specific date meaning were 100% yours! The majority of work putting together a workshop / tour and managing your participation happens long before the event takes place. You have the the peace of mind that we can't book anyone else in your spot even if we continue to receive inquiries. The contract is binding both ways.

SECTION 20 - B - TRAVEL INSURANCE

We strongly recommend that you purchase quality travel insurance.

Travel Insurance Services offers a variety of plans and options. Included with the Elite Option or available as an upgrade to the Basic & Plus Options you can also purchase "Cancel for Any Reason Coverage" that expands the list of reasons for your canceling to include things such as sudden work or family obligation and even a simple change of mind. Do note that many plans require that you purchase your travel insurance within 14 days of paying your deposit. Whenever purchasing travel insurance be sure to read the fine print carefully even when dealing with reputable firms like TIS. There are many other companies out there that offer travel insurance, some folks use Allianz Travel Insurance Co or InsureMyTrip. With any travel insurance, it is best to check out the company thoroughly. ICONS has no affiliation to these companies and do not recieve a financial benefit from the referral or sale of the insurance. *If your trip is cancelled for any reason beyond our control, you will not be entitled to a refund and your sole remedy will be with your trip insurance provider.
