I agree that I am of legal drinking age!
I understand that Atlanta Wine School’s courses include wine tasting as a necessary and integral part of the courses. Wine contains alcohol and alcohol may cause impairment or drunkenness if consumed in sufficient quantities. I agree that when participating in Atlanta Wine School’s tastings, I will consume wine only in moderation and not so as to cause impairment or drunkenness. I am under no legal or medical restriction which would limit my right or ability to participate in wine tasting.
In consideration for my participation in Atlanta Wine School’s courses, I release, discharge and agree not to sue Atlanta Wine School or any of it’s affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, or Venues where class is held (collectively called “Releasees in this Agreement and Release) for any claims, demands, actions and causes of action arising out of any loss or damage to property and any injury, including but not limited to death, that I or others may sustain, whether or not caused by the negligence of the Releasees, as a result of my participating in Atlanta Wine School’s wine tastings, classes, events or tours. I voluntarily assume full responsibility for property loss or damage, and for personal injury, including but not limited to death that I may sustain as a result of being engaged in this activity, whether or not caused by the negligence of the Releasees. I intend this as a release, discharge and promise not to sue or bring any claim against the Releasees. I also agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any loss, liability, damage or costs, including court costs and attorney’s fees, that they may incur due to my participation in the activity, whether caused by the negligence of Releasees or otherwise.
I understand that it is a condition of my enrollment in Atlanta Wine School classes that I must agree to these terms, and I understand that Atlanta Wine School will not permit me to purchase any of its courses or attend any of its classes unless done so.
YOUR RESERVATIONS
If you are attending a class or event, you will NOT receive tickets by mail or email--you will simply check-in at the event or class. To be assured of your reservation, you are always advised to print the final confirmation screen at check-out showing your purchase OR to print the email invoice sent to the email you specify during check-out. Non-receipt of this email invoice does not constitute a voided transaction.
WHAT TO WEAR (AND WHAT NOT TO WEAR)
Unless otherwise noted, patrons will feel comfortable in business casual clothes at our events. Also, your fellow guests will appreciate it if you wear very little or NO perfume/cologne. Patrons tell us all the time of the lady "with too much perfume" or the guy "who wore way too much cologne." This is a distraction when one is trying to detect and describe various wine aromas.
DIETARY REQUEST SELECTIONS
While registering for a course or event, we request you provide us with any special dietary needs you may have. All of our classes (except the CSW Program and the WSET Program) provide at least small appetizer-fare to enjoy with the wines. Guests who select "Gluten-Free" will always have gluten-free options due to our sponsorship by one of Atlanta's leading gluten-free bakers, American Gra-Frutti. However, guests who select "Vegetarian--No Animal Products" may have a challenge, but we will do our best to have crackers, breads, almonds, and olives on hand for these guests. Cooking classes and wine dinners represent special challenges for us, as the budget of the event, the instructional content, and the types of wines are all tied to a FIXED MENU. It becomes very difficult to alter this menu for one or a few people. If you want to be sure what our options may be to accomodate your specific needs for an event, please contact us at least 3 business days prior to the class or event.
Seating at our events is FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVE. If you are in a group of two or more, we strongly advise you to arrive early (at least 15 minutes early) to ensure you are seated together.
NONREFUNDABLE
Please note (unless specified otherwise) all class and event admissions are non-refundable, so if you can't make it, pass on your reservation to someone who can! All of our 8-week courses allow you 12 months to make up a missed class at no charge.
ISSUES BEYOND OUR CONTROL/INCLEMENT WEATHER/ACTS OF GOD
If a class cannot run due to inclement weather or other "acts of God," then we will post a re-schedule date for this class. If an attendee cannot make the re-schedule date, we will provide a credit amount of the class to the attendee so they may use it towards a future class.
*WHEN IS A CLASS REFUNDABLE?
If a class is cancelled due to insufficient registrations, attendees will be given the choice of moving their registration to a future class, same or different, or having 100% of their money refunded.
CANCELLATIONS
If you are not able to make your course, you have the following recourse:
Five full business days prior to the event, notify our office (via email) and your full event credit can be moved to a future event of your choice, depending on availability. Upon receiving this credit confirmation, it will expire within 90 days of notification if not used. All WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) and courses require a notice of eleven (11) business days prior to the start of the class due to WSET regulations.
Between five full business days and not less than three full business days, notify our office (via email) and 50% of your event credit can be moved to a future event of your choice, depending on availability. This credit will expire within 90 days of notification if not used.
Cancellations within 3 full business days (72 hours) of the event will not be eligible for any credit.
