Terms and Conditions of Participation

The masterclasses are organised by Percettiva, a production, training and artistic research space based in Sardinia, Italy.

For any communication relating to the educational activities, participants may contact the organisation using the contact details provided on the official website.

Percettiva organises masterclasses and educational activities dedicated to cinema, sound, audiovisual production, directing, post-production and other related creative and professional fields.

Each masterclass may include lectures, guided conversations, case-study analysis, exercises, technical demonstrations, meetings with professionals and collective discussion sessions.

The programme, tutors, dates, duration, language of instruction and participation methods are indicated on the page dedicated to each masterclass.

Participation in the masterclasses is subject to prior registration.

Registration may take place through an online form, email, payment platform or any other method indicated by Percettiva.

Submission of a registration request does not automatically guarantee the availability of a place. A place shall be considered confirmed only after written confirmation by Percettiva and, where applicable, after receipt of payment within the indicated terms.

Percettiva reserves the right to review registration requests and not to accept applications that are incomplete, inconsistent with the requirements of the programme or received after the available deadlines.

When a participation fee is required, registration shall be considered confirmed only upon receipt of payment according to the methods indicated by Percettiva.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, payment must be made within seven days from the confirmation notice or from the sending of payment instructions.

In the event of failure to pay within the indicated deadline, Percettiva may consider the registration unconfirmed and reassign the place to other participants.

Fees, any concessions, scholarships and payment methods are indicated on the page dedicated to the individual masterclass or in the official communications sent by Percettiva.

The participation fee includes only what is expressly indicated on the masterclass page or in the confirmation communication.

By way of example, the following may be included:

• participation in the educational sessions;
• access to the spaces provided for the masterclass;
• any educational materials made available by the tutors or the organisation;
• a certificate of attendance, where provided;
• any coffee breaks, lunches, dinners, transfers or other services, only where expressly indicated.

Anything that is not expressly indicated as included shall be considered excluded.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, the participation fee does not include:

• travel to and from the masterclass venue;
• local transport;
• accommodation;
• meals;
• personal insurance;
• medical expenses;
• personal equipment;
• visa costs, travel documents or other individual requirements;
• any other cost not expressly indicated as included.

Each participant is responsible for organising and paying for their own travel, transport, accommodation and personal expenses, unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by Percettiva.

The participant may withdraw from the masterclass by notifying Percettiva in writing.

Refund conditions may vary depending on the specific masterclass and shall be indicated on the dedicated page or in the confirmation communication.

In the absence of specific alternative conditions, the following rules shall apply:

• cancellation communicated at least 30 days before the start of the masterclass: refund of the fee paid, net of any non-recoverable bank charges or transaction costs;
• cancellation communicated between 29 and 15 days before the start of the masterclass: refund of 50% of the fee paid;
• cancellation communicated less than 15 days before the start of the masterclass: no refund shall be due;
• failure to attend without prior notice: no refund shall be due.

Any exceptions may be assessed by Percettiva on a case-by-case basis, but shall not constitute an obligation for the organisation.

Percettiva may provide scholarships, reductions, concessions or free places for certain masterclasses.

The award of a scholarship or concession is personal, non-transferable and valid exclusively for the indicated masterclass.

If a participant who has been awarded a scholarship confirms their participation and subsequently withdraws without adequate prior notice, Percettiva may request reimbursement of a portion of the costs incurred or reserve the right not to consider future applications from the same participant.

Where a symbolic fee, deposit or confirmation contribution is required, the relevant conditions shall be communicated at the time of the award.

Failure to attend the masterclass without prior notice shall be considered a no-show.

In the event of a no-show, no refund of any sums paid shall be due.

In the case of free participation, a scholarship or a concession, Percettiva may request partial reimbursement of the organisational costs incurred, provided that this condition was communicated at the time of confirmation.

Percettiva reserves the right to cancel, postpone or modify a masterclass for organisational, technical, logistical or artistic reasons, force majeure, unavailability of tutors, failure to reach the minimum number of participants or other circumstances beyond its control.

In the event of definitive cancellation by Percettiva, participants shall be entitled to a refund of any participation fee paid.

In the event of postponement, Percettiva shall propose new dates or alternative solutions. If the participant is unable to attend the masterclass on the new proposed dates, they may request a refund of the fee paid, unless different specific conditions were communicated at the time of registration.

Percettiva shall not be liable for any costs incurred by the participant for travel, accommodation, transport or other personal services purchased independently, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Percettiva undertakes to respect the announced programme, but reserves the right to make changes to schedules, content, calendar, venue, methods of delivery or tutors, where necessary for organisational, artistic or technical reasons, or for reasons beyond its control.

Any changes shall be communicated to participants as far in advance as possible.

The replacement of a tutor, a change in the order of sessions or an adaptation of the programme shall not automatically constitute grounds for a refund, provided that the overall nature of the masterclass remains consistent with what was announced.

Participants are required to behave respectfully towards the tutors, other participants, staff, spaces, equipment and the hosting context.

Percettiva reserves the right to remove from the masterclass, without refund, anyone whose behaviour is offensive, discriminatory, violent, dangerous, harmful to the work of others or incompatible with the proper conduct of the activity.

Participants shall be responsible for any damage caused to persons, spaces, materials or equipment.

Materials provided during the masterclass, including texts, slides, images, audio, video, exercises, examples, technical sessions or other educational content, are intended exclusively for the personal and educational use of participants.

The reproduction, distribution, publication, recording, sale or sharing of such materials without the written authorisation of Percettiva or the respective rights holders is prohibited.

The content presented by the tutors remains the property of the respective authors or rights holders.

Any exercises, works or materials produced by participants during the masterclass remain the property of their respective authors, unless otherwise specifically agreed.

Photographs, video footage, audio recordings or backstage content may be produced during the masterclasses for documentary, promotional, editorial or institutional purposes.

The use of the recognisable image of participants for promotional purposes shall be regulated by a specific release form, where necessary.

Participants are not permitted to record lessons, talks, demonstrations or conversations in full without the prior authorisation of Percettiva and the tutors.

Short photographs or personal content may be produced only if they do not disturb the activity, do not violate the privacy of other participants and do not reproduce protected materials or confidential content.

During the masterclasses, materials, case studies, professional information, projects in progress or content not yet publicly available may be shared.

Participants undertake not to disclose confidential information, non-public materials or sensitive content shared during the masterclass without the authorisation of the relevant rights holders.

Access to spaces, studios, rooms, technical equipment and working environments is permitted only according to the methods indicated by Percettiva.

Participants must use spaces and equipment with care and in accordance with the instructions received.

Any damage caused by improper use, negligence or non-compliant behaviour may be charged to the responsible participant.

Each participant is responsible for their own personal, physical and health condition, as well as for their suitability to take part in the planned activities.

Percettiva shall not be liable for accidents, injuries, loss or damage to personal belongings, except in cases of liability established by law.

Participants are invited to take care of their personal belongings, equipment, computers, hard drives, instruments and materials.

The language of instruction of the masterclass is indicated on the dedicated page.

Some activities may take place in Italian, English or in a bilingual format, depending on the tutors and the group of participants.

The availability of simultaneous or consecutive interpretation is guaranteed only where expressly indicated.

Where provided, Percettiva may issue a certificate of attendance.

The certificate does not constitute a professional certification, qualifying title or legally recognised qualification, unless expressly stated otherwise.

The issuing of the certificate may be subject to actual participation in the masterclass or to a minimum attendance requirement.

Participants' personal data shall be processed by Percettiva for purposes connected to the organisation and management of the masterclasses, including registration, communications, payments, invoicing, organisational assistance and administrative obligations.

Personal data shall be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy available on the Percettiva website.

Separate consent may be requested, where necessary, for newsletter activities, promotional communications or the use of the participant's image.

For the management of registrations, payments, communications or other services, Percettiva may use third-party platforms, such as online payment systems, email providers, form tools, calendar tools, video platforms or similar services.

The use of such services may involve the processing of personal data by the respective providers, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Details of the third-party services used are indicated in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy of the website.

Official communications relating to the masterclass shall be sent to the email address provided by the participant during registration.

By submitting a registration request, paying the fee or confirming participation, the participant declares that they have read, understood and accepted these Terms and Conditions of Participation.

Percettiva reserves the right to update these Terms and Conditions. The applicable version shall be the one published or communicated at the time of registration.

These Terms and Conditions of Participation are governed by Italian law.

For any dispute relating to the interpretation, validity, performance or termination of these Terms and Conditions of Participation, the Court of Rome shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where otherwise provided by mandatory provisions of law.
