Cancellation

1. Full refunds of the registration fee, less a cancellation charge as stated in the conference Registration Form (which can be found at the event home page on our website), will only be made if you give notice of cancellation at least three months prior to the first day of the conference. Thereafter, we regret that no refunds can be made if you cancel. You may substitute your delegates at any time, with no charge. Please note that refunds will not be given on exhibition upgrades or sponsorship packages or conference dinner places at any time.

2. On occasions we may have to cancel a conference if, for example, delegate numbers are too low to run the event. If so, we will give you as much notice as possible, and you will be given the option of a refund or transfer to an alternative event.

Non-attendance

1. We are not liable to you for any non-attendance of your delegates for any reason, including, but not limited to, bad weather, industrial action, sickness or bereavement. We recommend that your delegates' travel plans provide for enough time to account for any inclement weather or industrial action and that appropriate insurance is obtained prior to the conference to recompense for any financial loss you incur as a result of your delegate being unable to travel.

Circumstances outside our control

1. We will not be liable to you for any delay, defect or deficiency hereunder to the extent that such delay, defect or deficiency is caused by an event beyond our reasonable control including but not limited to acts, defaults or omissions of our suppliers or subcontractors, a strike, lock out or other form of industrial action, outbreak of hostilities, riot, civil disturbance or acts of terrorism; fire, explosion or flood; or theft and malicious damage.

Visa requirements

1. You agree to ensure that all delegates covered by this booking hold the necessary visas to be able to enter the country in which the conference is held and attend the conference. We will not provide refunds for any delegates that are unable to attend the conference due to a failure to meet the appropriate visa requirements of the country concerned.
