We accept all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

Accordingly, you waive any right to initiate a chargeback in the event of cancellation for any reason (except fraud), including a force majeure event as defined herein, and you agree to the refund policies and procedures outlined in these Terms and Conditions.
