4. Refund and Cancellation Policy

Your right to a refund depends on the type of Service or Product purchased.

A. Stargazing and Astrophotography Workshops (Weather Dependent)

Workshops are subject to prevailing weather conditions.

• Cancellation due to Unfavorable Weather: If we determine that the weather conditions (e.g., heavy cloud cover, rain, high winds, or severe atmospheric turbulence) make the workshop impossible or severely degrade the quality of the experience, we reserve the right to cancel the session.
• In the event of a cancellation by us due to weather, you will be offered the choice of:
1. A full refund of the workshop fee.
2. Rescheduling the workshop for a mutually agreed-upon future date.
• Customer Cancellations: Cancellations made by the customer are subject to the following rules:
• Cancellations made less than 7 days before the event are non-refundable.
• Failure to attend without prior notice (a "no-show") will result in the forfeiture of the entire fee.

B. Imaging Processing Courses (Online)

Due to the digital nature of these courses, which often provide immediate access to proprietary content, a strict no-refund policy is enforced.

• No Refund Policy: All sales of online Imaging Processing Courses are final and non-refundable.
• Faulty Access: If you experience technical issues preventing access, you must notify us immediately at [Your Support Email]. We will work to resolve the access issue. A refund will only be considered if we are unable to provide access to the purchased content within a reasonable time.

C. Physical Products

• No Refund Policy: All sales of physical products, such as the Calendar, are final and non-refundable unless the item arrives damaged or defective.
• Damaged/Defective Goods: If a product arrives damaged, you must notify us within 7 days of delivery, provide photographic evidence, and we will offer a replacement or a full refund upon verification.

By booking, you acknowledge these risks and agree that we are not liable for any personal injury, loss, or damage to personal property that occurs during the workshop, except where such damage is caused by our gross negligence.
• General: To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to these Terms, the Services, or the Products is limited to the amount you paid for the specific Service or Product that is the subject of the claim.
