All payments need to be received not later than 1 week before the training is scheduled to begin. If you are having an agency pay on your behalf, that invoice process needs to have begun by that point. In the case that no payment is received, we reserve the right to remove you from the scheduled training. If you register within a week of the training, payment will need to be arranged on the day of registration.

 

FolkTime will only process refunds for cancellations communicated at least 2 business days before the start of the training. In all other cases, including partial attendance, we will allow the registrant to attend another of that training within one (1) year of the initially chosen training.
