	All sales are final because it is difficult to substitute people at the last moment and we make significant expenditures once a minimum quota of 24 people register. In case of the unlikely events such as weather, disease, or civil unrest, we will be offering the course at a later date. If a schedule conflict arises for you, you are welcome to come to our next event. Your tickets may be exchangeable for another event of equal value in the future, or you can transfer the your tickets to someone else to take your place.

			=Postponement=
			OSE reserves the right to postpone an event in the event of insufficient registrations, cancellations, or participant postponements. If a minimum quota of participants is stated and is not reached, the event will be postponed to the next scheduled cycle. In this case, the tuition and fees are simply transferred to the next event. If OSE cancels an event due to unforeseen circumstances, then participants may postpone their participation to another same or similar event in the future, with sales remaining final.
