​

• One-on-One virtual sessions must be paid electronically. 

​

• Photo Adventure fees only cover specifically listed inclusions such as guiding and instruction services, on location transportation, lodging, and activity fees where required.

​

• Participants understand that these photo adventures are based around natural elements that Alyce Bender of A. Bender Photography LLC has no control over. Best efforts will be made to ensure fulfillment of outlined photographic subjects for each photo adventure but weather conditions, wildlife sightings, wildflower blooms, and fall colors cannot be guaranteed.  

​

• In the event of extraordinary events, governmental instability, extreme weather, pandemics, or other conditions, Alyce Bender of A. Bender Photography reserves the right to cancel the Photo Adventure and shall return all adventure fees to participants in these cases.

​

You agree that you are aware of the risks international travel presents and you are taking these risks upon yourself. You agree to be fully financially independent should disaster strike and that Alyce Bender of A.

​

• Although most of the Photo Adventures are designed for people of average fitness, be aware that all the Photo Adventures will be taking place outdoors and will require a certain amount of walking over some degree of uneven ground.

Bender Photography LLC and my aforementioned associates harmless due to any interpersonal interactions with fellow attendees and/or anyone we encounter along the way.

​

• Please be aware that it is the participants’ responsibility to meet at our predetermined location by a specific time for the start of our Photo Adventure.
