CANCELLATION POLICY

We are really looking forward to Lotta’s Åland Print Workshop Retreat (AWR) and having you be a part of this unique opportunity to visit Lotta’s homeland with us.

Please note: Because the AWR involves advanced preparation of materials, catering, and instruction, and because there are expenses associated with planning for each guest, this workshop is non-refundable. Please plan thoughtfully to avoid any confusion or scheduling conflicts before you register.

TERMS

A non-refundable deposit of USD$1700 is due upon registration. This payment secures your place in the workshop. Final payment of USD$2650 for Week One ( 9-13 July ) and USD$3250 for Week Two ( 16-21 July ) is due by February 1. 2025.
Cancellations after February 1. 2025 are fully non-refundable. All individual cancellations must be made in writing and are effective upon receipt. Lotta Jansdotter will do everything we can to find a replacement if dire circumstances prevent you from attended AWR. If this is possible, we will be happy to refund your fee, less US$650 and any fees associated with the refund. Please note that if a replacement cannot be secured, the workshop is fully non-refundable. Lotta Jansdotter does not guarantee that a replacement will be found.

COVID-19 

Lotta’s Åland Print Workshop Retreat (AWR) will be subject to all local laws including border crossing regulations: Participants will start their journey flying into Stockholm, Sweden and then ferry to Åland, Finland. Should any complications arise resulting in the postponement of this workshop, all fees will be rolled over to future workshop options with Lotta Jansdotter.

There will be NO refunds for postponed workshops due to Covid-19. 

Please plan accordingly. We highly recommend travel insurance that covers trip interruption / cancellation and medical / quarantine expenses. Talk to your insurance provider about a ‘cancel for any reason’ insurance plan.

Please acknowledge that travel insurance coverage is not included in the cost of this retreat and you are encouraged to obtain separate coverage your own expense.

We also recommend participants bring proof of a negative Covid test taken within 72 hours of the start of travel, in case it is requested before boarding any flights or crossing any borders. The International Air Travel Association is a useful tool for monitoring updated travel rules and restrictions.

Any Covid testing, prior to, during or after the retreat is the final responsibility of the participant.

In the event the retreat has to be modified / cancelled due to Covid-19 after the first date of the retreat, or a participant becomes ill and needs to leave/quarantine during the retreat, there will be no refunds or credit for future workshops issued, as all our costs for lodging, staff and materials will have been submitted by then.

In the event any medical care is administered to you during the trip, Lotta Jansdotter LLC assumes no responsibility for any such medical care provided to you. You are solely responsible for any and all costs of medical care and related transportation, if any, that are provided to you during the trip
