WWE FEE PAYMENT POLICY:
Woman Within Eastern USA (WWE) is a non-profit organization that offers personal growth and education experiences for women. The Woman Within Weekend (WWW) participant fees primarily fund WWW expenses and WWE’s budget operating costs. WWE depends on the collection of participant fees to continue its mission and activities.
Financial accountability is one of the core values of WWE. In support of that value, WWE has established a policy regarding payment(s) for the WWW and other WWE sponsored events.
PROCEDURE:
A. WWW Deposit
A $150.00 deposit is required to hold a participant’s space on the WWW. The deposit is refundable/transferable to another WWW in WWE, up until two weeks prior to the Weekend date; after which it becomes nontransferable or refundable. The only exception to this is when a woman has applied for financial support and the funds awarded are not sufficient to allow her to attend. Her deposit will be returned at her request, or held for a future WWW sponsored by WWE within a 12-month period from the date of her first registration. Those applying for financial support are required to submit their deposit prior to filling out the Financial Support Form.
Financial Support Application FormB. Returned Checks
If a prospective participant’s check is returned, it may be re-deposited. The service charge assessed by WWE’s bank is the participant’s responsibility and must be paid and cleared before the WWW or WWE event.
C. Credit Card/Electronic Payment Service Fees
A fee is charged to WWE for the processing of any electronic payment. Due to the non-profit status of WWE, the organization cannot absorb the cost of processing fees and therefore must be paid by the payee.
D. Cancellations and No Shows
There are substantial costs associated with processing registrations for the WWW and other WWE events. If a prospective participant cancels within five days of the WWW, she must request a refund (minus the $150 deposit). The request must be made in writing to the WWE Administrator and is at the discretion of the WWE Board of Directors.
E. Payment Plans
Participants may request a payment plan to pay the balance of their workshop cost. The payment plan will divide the balance into two or five parts and be charged/paid monthly for the subsequent months following the workshop. Inquiries and requests should be directed to the WWE Administrator.
F. Workshop fee must be paid in full by the Friday prior to the start of the event.
