Cancellation Policy & Refunds

Authority to Use Images and Audio Recordings

Upon occasion, ACM&AF and partners obtain, from its staff, or from other participants, photographic or video images of festival participants and guests engaged in festival-related activities. By attending and/or participating in festival programs, you authorize ACM&AF and partners, without providing compensation to you or obtaining additional approvals from you, to include photographic and video recordings of you, as well as voice recordings included with any videos, in ACM&AF marketing, advertising, publicity and/or training activities.

Responsibility

ACM&AF and partners do not own or operate any entity which provides goods or services for the Festival and act only as agents for the independent suppliers of travel conveyance, transport, accommodations or other services. All such persons or entities are independent contractors. As a result, ACM&AF and partners are not liable for any negligence or willful act of any such person or entity or any third person. In addition and without limitation, ACM&AF and partners are not responsible for any delays, delayed departure or arrival, missed carrier connections, loss, death, damage or injury to person or property or accident, mechanical defect, failure or negligence of any nature howsoever caused in connection with any accommodations, transportation or other services or for any substitution of hotels or of common carrier equipment, with or without notice, or for any additional expenses occasioned thereby. Dates, program details and costs, although given in good faith and based on tariffs, exchange rates and other information current at the time of printing, are subject to change at or before the time of departure. No revisions of printed itineraries or schedules or any included features are anticipated; however, the right is reserved to make any changes, with or without notice, which might become necessary with the mutual understanding that any additional expenses will be paid by the individual participant or guest. Baggage and personal effects are the sole responsibility of the owners at all times. If the entire program is canceled for any reason, participants shall have no claim other than for a full refund. By paying the deposit and/or fees to attend the Festival, the festival participant or guest certifies that he/she has no physical, mental or other condition of disability that would create a hazard for himself/herself or other festival staff, participants and guests, and accepts the terms of this contract set out herein and in more specific pre-departure passenger information.
