Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy
Fundacja Rozwoju Przedsiębiorczości “Twój StartUP” (Nick Zharkov Wedding Photography)
1. General Provisions
By visiting our website, registering for a workshop, or making a payment, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to update or amend these Terms at any time. Any changes will be posted on our website, and your continued use after such updates constitutes acceptance.
2. Purpose and Eligibility
Our workshops are crafted for wedding industry professionals (photographers, videographers, planners, creators) looking to elevate their craft, expand portfolios, and build connections. Anyone aligned with this profile may register. Other professionals (florists, stylists, etc.) may attend upon approval.
3. Booking, Deposit, and Confirmation
To secure your spot, a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total workshop fee is required.
A booking is only confirmed once the deposit has been received and acknowledged. The remaining balance is due by the deadline specified at booking (typically 3–5 days before the workshop). Bookings made within this window require full upfront payment.
4. Cancellations, Refunds, and Rescheduling
All deposits are strictly non-refundable, regardless of changes in participant plans.
Rescheduling to another date may be possible, depending on availability; an administration or rescheduling fee may apply.
5. Group Size and Workshop Format
Workshops are intentionally limited to a maximum of 10–12 participants to ensure intimate, high-quality experiences and sufficient shooting. Participants are grouped by shooting style (e.g., film vs. flash), ensuring efficient cooperation and equal access to models and setups.
Workshop formats may include: Pop-up sessions: outdoor and shorter, styled in iconic locations with props like retro cars, floral arrangements, etc. Full-day sessions: immersive “wedding-day reconstruction,” spanning from bride prep to first dance.
6. Use of Images and Materials
You are free to use all photos and videos from the workshop in your portfolio, blogs, or social media.
Some usage guidelines may apply, such as tagging or crediting vendors, models, or the workshop (if specified), and will be shared in advance.
7. Privacy and Data Handling
We collect only what’s necessary: name, address, email, and payment details (processed securely through Stripe). Technical data (IP, cookies, browser info) may also be collected. All data is processed in compliance with our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms. Data will not be shared for marketing purposes unless explicitly agreed upon.
8. Liability and Disclaimers
We are not responsible for typographical errors or inaccuracies on our site (e.g., pricing, schedules).
We reserve the right to refuse participation to any individual or to make changes to the workshop (including dates, pricing, or format) without prior notice.
9. Intellectual Property
Ideas or materials you submit (e.g., suggestions, feedback) may be used by us without obligation to compensate or acknowledge. All workshop materials provided by our team remain our intellectual property unless explicitly stated.
10. Communications and Community
Upon registration, participants may gain access to private communication channels (e.g., WhatsApp group, Telegram group) used for coordinating logistics, shared accommodations, or travel. Post-workshop networking and community opportunities (live sessions, online resources) may be offered.
11. Code of Conduct
We promote a respectful, zero-tolerance collaborative environment—everyone should feel safe and supported. Harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated.
12. Governing Law and Severability
If any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions remain effective.
These Terms, along with the Privacy Policy, represent the entire agreement between you and Fundacja Rozwoju Przedsiębiorczości “Twój StartUP” (Nick Zharkov Wedding Photography).
These Terms are governed by Polish law (and applicable EU regulations).
