Return & Refund Policy
Our commitment to your satisfaction and our transparent refund process.
Our Commitment
At Vormkhar, we are committed to providing exceptional photography education that exceeds your expectations. We understand that circumstances change, and we've designed our refund policy to be fair, transparent, and accommodating.
This Return and Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions for cancellations, refunds, and course transfers. Please read this policy carefully before registering for any of our photography courses.
Refund Eligibility
Refund eligibility is determined by the timing of your cancellation request relative to the course start date. Our tiered refund structure ensures fairness while allowing us to manage course planning and instructor commitments.
How to Request a Refund
Requesting a refund is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure your request is processed efficiently:
Contact Us
Send an email to info@vormkhar.world with your request. Include your full name, course name, and registration confirmation number.
Provide Details
In your email, specify whether you're requesting a refund or prefer to transfer your registration to another person or future course.
Receive Confirmation
We'll review your request within 2 business days and send you a confirmation email with the outcome and next steps.
Get Your Refund
If approved, refunds are processed within 5-7 business days to your original payment method. Transfer arrangements are finalized within 48 hours.
All refund requests must be submitted in writing via email. Phone requests will be redirected to our email system to ensure proper documentation and processing.
Transfer Options
We understand that life happens. If you can't attend your registered course, we offer flexible transfer options:
Transfer to Another Person: You may transfer your course registration to another individual at any time before the course starts. The new participant must meet any prerequisites for the course and provide their contact information. There are no fees for this type of transfer.
Transfer to Future Course: If you cancel within 7 days of the course start date, you may apply your full payment toward any future course of equal or greater value within 6 months. If the new course costs less, the difference will not be refunded. If it costs more, you'll pay the difference at the time of registration.
To arrange a transfer, contact us at info@vormkhar.world with the details of your preferred arrangement.

To request consideration for special circumstances:
- Contact us at info@vormkhar.world as soon as possible

While we cannot guarantee approval for all special circumstance requests, we approach each situation with empathy and fairness.
