Event Cancellation Policy

The OVQG reserves the right to cancel an event for which you have registered and paid. For example, an event may be cancelled for any of the following reasons:

  • An insufficient number of participants have registered and paid for their tickets. (For example, a workshop will be held only if the minimum number of paid registrants is reached 1-3 weeks ahead of the class date; the minimum number of registrants required is listed in the workshop description.)
  • A workshop instructor is unable to present the workshop. (e.g. illness, travel disruption)
  • An event venue becomes unavailable. (e.g. storm damage)

If this occurs, participants will be notified by phone or email and issued a refund. Refunds can be made via PayPal or mailed to you upon request.

Changing Your Registration

If you need to make a change to your registration, or to cancel it entirely, please email the Workshops Coordinator right away, so they can take appropriate steps to deal with the change.

Please be advised that the OVQG typically does not issue refunds if you fail to attend an event you registered for, unless someone on the waiting list is able to take your place.
