AWG Activities & Cancellation Policy as of January 1, 2025

In order to offer our members exciting tours and events, our AWG Activity Team has special participation and cancellation arrangements with our guides. The following information is the AWG Activities and Cancellation Policy, effective January 1, 2025, approved by the AWG Governing Board. 

Note: This Policy does not apply to Membership Meetings. It is common courtesy to cancel your Membership Meeting registration by emailing MembershipVP@awgparis.org if you learn you cannot attend.


A. Activities Participation Policy:

  1. Adults Only:Unless otherwise specified, all activities and trips are organized for members aged 18 and older.
  2. Guest Policy:Guests may attend only when specified in the activity description. Guests do not have an automatic right to participate in AWG events, and AWG reserves the right to refuse any guest entry to an activity at its discretion, without explanation. Eligible guests are encouraged to consider becoming members.
  3. Registration Process:Registrations are handled on a first come, first served basis. If an event reaches full capacity, registrants will be placed on a waitlist. AWG will contact waitlisted members if a spot opens, either by offering the spot to those first registered on the waitlist or, in some cases, offering it to the first three to reply. All registrations and waitlist sign-ups must be managed through the Activities software.
  4. Finalizing Registration:Registration is only considered complete once AWG has received both payment and a completed activity registration. You can register and make payments online at www.awgparis.org or through the AWG Wild Apricot app.

B. Cancellation Policy:

We understand that unexpected events can happen, and plans may need to be altered. Our Activities Volunteers put in significant effort to ensure that event registrations are accurate, allowing for smooth coordination and ensuring that those registered are not left waiting for a member who is unable to attend.

To help us maintain this efficiency, we kindly ask that you follow the procedures outlined below if you need to cancel your registration:

  1. When a specific cut-off date for registration is mentioned: This cut-off date also serves as the latest possible date for cancellation without incurring an administrative fee. Cancellation is only possible by clicking the cancellation button on the activity description page, either through our website or the app 
  2. For all other activities: Cancellation without an administrative fee is possible up to 48 hours before the activity begins. Cancellation is only possible by clicking click the cancellation button on the activity description page, either online or via the app.
  3. For cancellations beyond these time frames: Members must email ActivitiesAdmin@awgparis.org, including the name and date of the activity in the email.
  4. Responsibility:The Host is not responsible for cancellations nor for enforcing the Activity policy. Cancellations done to the host are not accepted as an official cancellation. The host can not accept any exceptions on the set Activity Policy. 


    C. Replacement Policy and Waiting List Management

    1. In the event of a cancellation before the cut-off date, AWG will automatically invite the next person on the waiting list on a first registered, first invited basis. 

    2. In the event of a cancellation after the cut-off date, AWG will personally invite the next person(s) on the waiting list on a first registered, first invited basis.

    We understand that unexpected events can happen, and plans may need to be altered. Our Activities Volunteers put in significant effort to ensure that event registrations are accurate, allowing for smooth coordination and ensuring that those registered are not left waiting for a member who is unable to attend.

    If your plans change and you are no longer able to attend while you are still on the waiting list, we kindly ask you to log in and cancel your registration from the waitlist so that another member can attend. 


    D. Cancellation Fees and Conditions

    1. For cancellations made after the cut-off date or within 48 hours of the event, including no-show without prior cancellation: A 15€ administrative fee will apply, regardless of the reason for the cancellation or no-show. No refunds will be issued unless AWG can find a replacement from the existing waitlist, as outlined above. 

    2. AWG reserves the right to modify or cancel activities: If an activity is canceled due to insufficient registrations or for any other valid reason, AWG will refund all payments made by registrants. AWG's liability to participants is limited to this refund amount only.

    If you have any additional questions, please email activitiesadmin@awgparis.org
