Our Story — PAULINNE DRASKOVIC

Terms & Conditions

Workshop content, locations, schedules, models, and shooting opportunities may be subject to change where necessary due to unforeseen circumstances. While every effort will be made to deliver the workshop as advertised, the organiser reserves the right to make reasonable adjustments to the format, venue, timing, or content. Such changes do not entitle participants to a refund or transfer.

Workshops may be cancelled or rescheduled if minimum participant numbers are not met or due to unforeseen circumstances. In such cases, participants will be offered either a full refund or transfer to an alternative date.
Where a workshop is postponed or rescheduled by the organiser, every effort will be made to schedule a replacement date within a reasonable timeframe. If a replacement workshop date is not scheduled within three (3) months of the original workshop date, participants may request a full refund or credit voucher.

Refunds are available for cancellations made more than 14 days prior to the workshop date. Cancellations made within 14 days of the workshop date are non-refundable. If you book within 14 days of the workshop date, your booking is automatically non-refundable due to the proximity of the event.
In cases where a participant needs to cancel within 14 days of the workshop, they may, at the organiser’s discretion, be offered a credit voucher to attend a future workshop. All cancellation requests must be made directly with the organiser (Paulinne) to be assessed.
Once a voucher has been issued and accepted, this decision is final. Vouchers cannot be exchanged for a refund or altered to an alternative resolution at a later date.
No-shows are not eligible for refunds or vouchers.
For split payment or instalment options, a 50% deposit is required to secure the booking. The remaining balance must be paid in full prior to the workshop date. If cancellation occurs within 14 days of the workshop date, the deposit remains non-refundable.
Transfers to another workshop date may be offered at the organiser’s discretion and are subject to availability.
No refunds or credits will be issued for late arrivals, early departures, or missed portions of the workshop.
If a workshop is cancelled or rescheduled by the organiser and a replacement date is not scheduled within three (3) months of the original workshop date, participants will be eligible for either a full refund or credit voucher.

In the case of adverse weather conditions affecting either outdoor or indoor workshops, including but not limited to extreme weather events such as floods, fires, storms, or other unforeseen environmental conditions, the organiser reserves the right to reschedule the workshop to a new date or adjust the location and format where necessary to ensure participant safety.
Refunds will not be issued in the event of a reschedule. If a participant is unable to attend the new date, they will be offered a credit voucher for a future workshop at the organiser’s discretion.
If a replacement workshop date is not scheduled within three (3) months of the original workshop date, participants will then be eligible for a full refund or credit voucher.
