For Courses at the West Norfolk Arts Centre and in the UK:
Payment:
For Castle Rising based courses a non returnable deposit of £50.00 inc VAT per person per course should accompany the completed booking form (£100.00 inc VAT deposit for Oxfordshire Cotswolds course). Final payment should be made no later than four weeks prior to the course commencement (six weeks for Oxfordshire Cotswolds). We do not send a reminder or an invoice so please make a note of the due date in your diary. Non-payment of the final balance will not be assumed to imply cancellation. Failure to attend a course will incur cancellation charges as shown below.
Cancellations:
Cancellations must be made in writing to West Norfolk Arts Centre at the address overleaf.
For courses at Castle Rising written cancellations received between 28 and 14 days prior to the course date, the deposit will be forfeit but the balance will be refunded provided this has been received by WNAC. For the Oxfordshire Cotswolds cancellations received between 28 and 14 days prior to the course date 50% of the total course fee will be forfeit.
It is regretted that no refund can be made in respect of bookings cancelled 14 days (or less) prior to commencement of a course.
Cancellation of Courses:
The Centre reserves the right to cancel any course should it become necessary to do so. We will notify you as soon as possible and you may then transfer to another course if you wish, depending on availability. Deposits/balances will be refunded in full if you prefer to withdraw your bookings. West Norfolk Arts Centre is liable only for any monies you have paid to us at the time of cancellation.
Amendments:
You may transfer to another course if you so wish, however, if a transfer is requested within four weeks of a course commencing it may be treated as a cancellation. If, for reasons outside our control, a tutor is unable to attend a particular course, we reserve the right to provide a substitute tutor of similar standing.
Force Majeur:
Please note that West Norfolk Arts Centre and Independence Travel cannot accept liability or pay compensation where the performance or fulfilment of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by reason of circumstances amounting to 'force majeur'.
Circumstances amounting to force majeur include any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid such as war, or threat of war, civil strife, riot, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, sickness, bad weather and acts of any Government or public authority and all similar events which are beyond our control.
Booking Conditions for Painting Courses Abroad:
All our normal terms and conditions apply as outlined above with the exception of the following: To ensure you have the benefits and financial security of bonding arrangements, the contract for your painting course is with Independence Travel with WNAC acting as the agent.
Payment:
A non refundable deposit of £200.00 per person should accompany the completed booking form. Final payment should be made not later than eight weeks prior to the departure date. Please make all cheques payable to INDEPENDENCE TRAVEL. Independence Travel reserve the right to alter the price of the painting course should it be necessary as a result of major fluctuations in currency value, airport taxes, insurance costs or aviation fuel.
Cancellations:
Cancellations must be made in writing to Independence Travel, 11 Norwich Street, Fakenham, Norfolk NR21 9AF and if the reasons for cancellation are not covered by your comprehensive travel insurance then cancellation charges will be levied in accordance with ABTA recommended guidelines and regulations.
