Cancellation insurance – where to find it: BeArtz does not arrange insurance. Because the deposit is non-refundable, we strongly recommend cancellation insurance, taken out in your own country soon after paying your deposit (many policies must be bought within 14–21 days). USA: “Cancel For Any Reason” (CFAR) cover, e.g. via Squaremouth or InsureMyTrip. UK: Trawick Safe Travels CFAR, or standard cancellation cover. Netherlands / Belgium: an annuleringsverzekering, or an “annuleren om welke reden dan ook” option. France: an assurance annulation toutes causes. Please check that the policy covers a course or workshop booking.

Assurance annulation – où la trouver : BeArtz ne propose pas d’assurance. L’acompte n’étant pas remboursable, nous vous recommandons vivement une assurance annulation, souscrite dans votre pays peu après le versement de l’acompte (beaucoup de contrats doivent être pris dans les 14 à 21 jours). États-Unis : garantie « Cancel For Any Reason » (CFAR), par ex. via Squaremouth ou InsureMyTrip. Royaume-Uni : Trawick Safe Travels CFAR, ou une assurance annulation classique. Pays-Bas / Belgique : une annuleringsverzekering, ou l’option « annuleren om welke reden dan ook ». France : une assurance annulation toutes causes. Vérifiez que le contrat couvre bien l’inscription à un stage.
