Cornish Pottery Holidays

Payments

An initial deposit of 30% of the total cost (as detailed on the Booking Form) must accompany the Booking Form, which reserves your place or places and is non-refundable. The outstanding balance must be paid in full 8 weeks prior to the course start date and at that stage is also non-refundable.

 

Cancellation by Us

We reserve the right to cancel a course at any time. In the unlikely event of this happening, we will offer to refund immediately any and all monies already received by us from you. We advise that travel to Cornwall should not be booked until 6 weeks before the course, in case we have to cancel. 

 

Cancellation by You

If you wish, for whatever reason, to cancel your booking you must inform us immediately in writing or by email. If we receive cancellation notice more than 8 weeks before the start of the booked course, we will usually endeavour to transfer your booking and deposit to another course in the same calendar year, providing there is availability. In these circumstances, the deposit and balance payable for the new booking will reflect any difference in the cost of any available accommodation offered. There will be an administration fee for changing course bookings of £50 per person. If you notify us of cancellation less than 8 weeks before the booked course starts, your booking will not be transferable to another course. In the event of cancellation by you at any time and for whatever reason, any deposit or other money paid will not be refundable.

 

We strongly advise you to take out travel insurance to cover you if you have to cancel for whatever reason, including illness and transport disruption.

 

Once the course has begun there will be no refunds on unused portions if, for example, you need to leave earlier than planned or choose not to take meals.

 

Alterations

We reserve the right, under unavoidable circumstances, to alter the timing and content of any course and to substitute any teacher or instructor at any time.
