Terms & Conditions

Conference Cancellation and Refund Policy

We understand that circumstances can change. At any point prior to the event you are welcome to contact us in writing to nominate a substitute delegate at no extra charge. A full refund less a $100 service fee will be issued for cancellations received on or before the 26th February 2018. No refunds will be issued on or after the 26th February 2018. Non-payment does not constitute cancellation.

Payments

Full payment MUST be made prior to conference. Once registration is received a confirmation email and tax invoice/receipt will be issued. Any accounts must be paid in full 7 days from the invoice date or 10 business days before the conference start date, whichever comes first. The organisers reserve the right, without notification, to cancel outstanding registrations any time after 7 days from the date of a tax invoice being sent. If payment is not received prior to the conference, conference attendance will be granted only after full payment is made via credit/debit card.

Accommodation Cancellation Policy

Delegates who cancel their accommodation booking must inform Conferences & Events Ltd in writing of their cancellation before Monday 26th February 2018. Cancellations after this date will be charged either one night’s accommodation or the full stay, at the discretion of the hotel.

New booking requests made within 30 days of conference cannot be guaranteed. If individual hotel cancellation policies differ from the above, they will be outlined on your confirmation email.
