Refund & Cancellation Policy

If a participant decides to cancel their reservation, they can do so at any time by communicating it as soon as possible to the official email address of the organiser barakatphotography@outlook.com.

However, you should keep in mind that the cancellation by a participant would create management difficulties in bookings as well as the risk of not reaching the minimum number of participants for the trip (and consequently the need to search for a new person).

For this reason:

The initial deposit of 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs) is non-refundable and non-negotiable.

If the cancellation request is submitted 90 days prior to the tour no additional cost will be charged.

If the cancellation request is presented LESS than 90 days before departure, it will NOT be possible to receive a refund of the full booking amount.

Unless the customer that desires to cancel his booking brings in another person who is willing to take their place by paying the total amount of the trip itself.
