Our events are contingent on the sale of six seats. If six seats are not sold within a time deemed reasonable by Sparkling Moments, deposits will be returned, or may be transferred to another available editorial experience.

Note that credits may not be adjusted or edited to reflect a different order.
Design attendees will be able to use the final images on their social media accounts while properly crediting the team.

If a seat is purchased after the date of the balance due listed on the workshop page, the full seat price must be paid to reserve the seat. If full payment is not made, the purchaser forfeits all payments. The purchase of a seat is for one attendee.

We ask that all vendors involved in our projects properly credit other vendors and the photographer for their work, but Sparkling Moments cannot enforce this crediting as some vendors are not under contract.
Our events are contingent on the sale of six seats. If six seats are not sold within a time deemed reasonable by Sparkling Moments, deposits will be returned, or may be transferred to another available editorial experience. In case if the deposit for a cancelled event was originally transferred from any other event as per client's request approved by Sparkling Moments, such deposit shall only be transferred to any other upcoming event scheduled by Sparkling Moments.
WEATHER CLAUSE:
When signing up for one of our events, the attendee must understand that inclement weather is a possibility. Due to the nature of our editorials and the vendors and venue booked, we will not postpone unless we find it absolutely necessary. We reserve the right to make this decision at any time. We will make our best efforts to mitigate the impact of the weather on our design, but attendee must understand that changes to the location, planning and design elements may be necessary. The Client understands and agrees it is their responsibility to acquire any and all travel, flight, and/or event insurance to protect themselves from unforeseen events, emergencies, medical or financial issues, flight delays or cancellations, extreme weather, or extenuating circumstances beyond the Parties’ control.

Failure to comply constitutes a material breach of the Terms and Conditions in which you are under contract to adhere to, and may result in:
1. The request to remove any and all images taken at a Sparkling Moments event from your website or social media account. Posting images without proper credit is theft of Sparkling Moments's work.

Editorial Workshop Design Assistants:
Any images used must credit yourself as a design assistant for an editorial hosted by Sparkling Moments. All posts on social media must have the proper credits included within the post, tagging vendors only is not considered proper crediting. Note that credits may not be adjusted or edited to reflect a different order.
Design attendees will be able to use the final images on their social media accounts while properly crediting the team. We do restrict the use of images on designer's websites, as the images may not be presented as a designer's own work. Design attendees will be credited as "design assistant" in all social media posts and publications.
If any attendee cannot or refuses to credit specifically as asked, Sparkling Moments has the right to ask said attendee to remove any and all images taken at a Sparkling Moments workshop. Posting images without proper credit is theft of Sparkling Moments's work and exposes any attendees or responsible party who cannot comply to pursuit of legal action. If the crediting requirements are violated in any way, Sparkling Moments has the right to remove the attendee from the credits in all posts and publications.
Design assistants are not allowed to photograph any of the workshop with any camera other than a cell phone. Should images be taken with the attendee's phone, they must credit properly in all social media posts and stories, and may not use the images elsewhere.
