To make a booking with Capture New Zealand simply fill in the online registration form. Workshop places will be confirmed in order of receipt and upon payment of deposit.

To confirm your workshop place payment of the deposit is required upon receipt of invoice and may be made by Internet Bank Transfer or International Bank Transfer. The payment terms for each workshop will be listed under the ‘Workshop Dates and Fee’ section of the itinerary. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if payment is not received when due, wherein the Cancellations and Refunds clause, listed below, shall be effected. Workshop fees are quoted in New Zealand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

We understand that sometimes unforseen circumstances necessitate the cancelling of participation in one of our workshops. However, once you have registered for a workshop and remitted your deposit we hold your place and make all the necessary arrangements for your participation. This involves logistical commitments where we may be required to make advance payments with strict cancellation or amendment conditions. Also, by holding your place other potential participants may not be able to make a reservation with us. Should you cancel your booking this can represent a financial loss to us.

Should you wish to cancel your booking you must advise us in writing. A structured refund scale is used based on the available time we have before the workshop commences to attempt to fill your place. Upon receipt of your cancellation the following fees will apply:
180 days or more before commencement: 30% of the total fee is forfeited.
179 to 121 days before commencement: 50% of the total fee is forfeited.
120 to 91 days before commencement: 75% of the total fee is forfeited.
90 days or less before commencement: No refund will be issued.

We will do our utmost to re-sell the cancelled workshop place/s and if able to do so will refund all fees paid. All refunds will be subject to the prevailing bank-issued exchange rate, less any associated bank charges and administration fees.

No part refunds will be made for unused portions or services of a workshop.

Should a workshop be cancelled by Capture New Zealand then all paid amounts will be either credited to another workshop or refunded based on the preference of the guest. In the event of a refund the prevailing currency exchange rate will apply.

Trip cancellation insurance is mandatory to protect you from an unexpected event which requires you to cancel your participation in a workshop or conclude your attendance prior to the completion of the workshop.

We reserve the right to amend the itinerary at our discretion. If minimum participant numbers are not achieved we reserve the right to amend or cancel scheduled in-workshop third-party activities. Neither of these two conditions are grounds for compensations or part-refunds.

At time of workshop announcement all fees have been calculated based on advised supplier rates and known future prices. Should unforeseen price increases occur in such items as transportations, fuel, and accommodations, among others, Capture New Zealand reserves the right to adjust the workshop fee accordingly. An increase in prices shall not be deemed to be grounds for any refund of fees paid for the workshop, other than in accordance with the terms of our cancellation policy. Small group surcharges may apply and will be advised at time of booking. All fees and amounts are quoted in the currency applicable to the workshop location.

Capture New Zealand (CNZ) workshops and tours are designed to be suitable for people of all ages in good health and moderate fitness. While activities are not strenuous, on some workshops we may be taking hikes on tracks in wilderness areas, including alpine regions, which may involve uphill walks and uneven ground. It will be necessary to carry your own camera equipment, extra clothing, food and water for these activities. Should you have any concerns about your own capabilities and/or fitness in relation to a particular workshop, please contact us to discuss this before registering.

It is the responsibility of the participant to advise CNZ of any current or historical health or medical conditions which may impact on the safety and well-being of the participant, the trip leaders or the other participants. It is strongly recommended to disclose any current medications or health issues to CNZ. By joining a CNZ program the participant agrees to assume all responsibility to manage any current or historical health or medical conditions.

CNZ reserves the right to decline participation on any trip activity where an individual's health and physical condition is deemed to be unsuitable for the activity undertaken. CNZ reserves the right to require a participant to withdraw from the program should a health or medical event deem it necessary. In the instance of any of the aforementioned no refund will be made for any unused portions of the program.

Once a workshop place has been confirmed, medical circumstances will not be considered as exceptions to our cancellation policy. We assume no responsibility for medical care nor guarantee to meet any special dietary requirements.
