Booking:

-If the event is cancelled one week before the event the balance minus the booking fee will be refunded. This amount will become a credit note that can be used on any picky pencil service. If circumstances beyond my control mean I must cancel the event the booking fee and all monies received shall be returned to the client.

​

Conditions for postponing or amending the contract:

-There will be no additional charges for the client to change the event date or amend their booking provided our illustrator is free on the new date and happy to accept amendments.
