 Cancellations

Workshop/seminars/book signings must be cancelled 2 weeks (14 days) prior to the event date to allow time to communicate the cancellation on the website and in our newsletters. If you choose to cancel your event, it is your responsibility to communicate with your registered attendees, and not the responsibility of the Dancing Moon. Notice of cancellation means this agreement is completed in full. To schedule another event at another time requires a new agreement, following the terms and conditions and fee schedules of the new agreement. You are responsible for any extra equipment, such as projectors, screens, televisions, DVD players, etc. Please see the “Refund Policy” for further information.

 

Refund Policy

Due to the high demand for renting our space, we are unable to provide refunds. However, if you have provided us with 14 days advanced notice of cancellation in writing, and we are able to subsequently book the room for your specific time slot, you will receive a 50% refund.

 

Payments for Your Program

  1.  We recommend that unless you have a way to accept charge cards, that you indicate on your flyer that you accept checks or cash only. We will not process charges for you.
  2. Checks made for payment of your services should be made out to you, and you have all responsibility for collecting on them, registering attendees, and collecting their contact information.

 

Book Signing Information

If you wish to conduct a book signing, please note the following:

  1. If you wish to rent the large classroom for a workshop, then the standard Room Rental Agreement procedures and room rates apply. Dancing Moon will take care of all book sales. If we purchase the books directly from you they will be treated as if we purchased them from a vendor at a 60/40 split. After your book signing and/or lecture is complete, you will receive payment for books sold and/or a check for books sold will be mailed directly to you, the balance of the books will be returned to you at the end of your program. This applies to any item that you have for sale: CDs, DVDs, bowls, bells, etc.
  2. If the book is distributed with New Leaf or one of our other vendors, we need 3 weeks’ notice to obtain copies of the book for you.
  3. If you are distributing your own book, consider sending us multiple copies of your book and your flyers so that we can help promote your event. Copies of your book may be placed prior to your event on a consignment basis and will be taken care of as described in step 1.
