LIABILITY

I agree that Santa Barbara Photographic Workshops or any of its officers are not responsible for any injury, loss, theft or damage to me or my property, arising out of or pertaining to preparation for or participation in the lesson, whether such injury, theft, or damage occurred prior, during, or after the lesson.

I understand and agree that I am SOLELY responsible for any loss, stolen or damaged property I bring with me.

I also understand that if the instructor needs to cancel a workshop or reschedule a workshop due to an unforeseen emergency or weather issue, either credit will be given for the next workshop, reschedule at a time agreeable to both parties or any paid amount will be fully refunded.

I agree that the instructor shall not assign any of his/her duties or obligations under this teaching agreement to a third party without notice to the Student.

2. Respect other students by not talking while the teacher or anyone asking a question is talking.
