Policies

By registering for this retreat, you confirm that you have read and agree to the following policies.

CANCELLATION POLICY

All refunds subject to a 3% processing fee. 100% refund for registration and lodging fees through June 30th. Critique/review meetings and intensives will be refunded if we are able to resell your space. Beginning July 1st, a refund on registration and lodging will be offered only if we are able to resell your space. If one roommate from a Double Occupancy room cancels, the remaining roommate will be charged the Single Occupancy rate, unless they are able to find another roommate.

PORTFOLIO SHOWCASE POLICY

By signing up to participate in the Portfolio Showcase, I agree that the submission of the portfolio is solely my responsibility and I hereby assume all risk of loss, theft, damage, destruction, delay and misdirection. I hereby represent and warrant that I am the sole owner of the portfolio and all copyrights therein and the portfolio does not infringe upon the rights of any third party or entity.

DOUBLE OCCUPANCY

SCBWI does not assign or connect roommates. Both roommates sharing a room must register individually and select the Double Occupancy ticket. If adding Thursday night to your reservation, you must select whether you will have Single or Double Occupancy for Thursday night. For example, you may wish to arrive on Thursday but your roommate won't arrive until Friday. In the event your roommate cancels, you will be charged the Single Occupancy rate for the room unless you find another attendee to fill that spot. When registering under Double Occupancy, submit your roommate's name to Erica Wood, [email protected].
