Terms & Conditions
These Terms and Conditions are between PSYCH SYMPOSIUM. (“PSYCH”) and the person who completes the relevant booking form (“You”) for the PSYCH SYMPOSIUM conference as described in the booking form (“Event”).
Confirmation of bookings
1. All bookings are subject to availability and acceptance by PSYCH, which will be confirmed in writing (including by e-mail) after PSYCH has received the completed booking form, the related fee if required (the “Fee”), and other relevant information that PSYCH may require.
2. Upon written confirmation from PSYCH, to You, of the acceptance of your booking for a place at the Event there shall be a legally binding contract between PSYCH and You to which these terms and conditions apply.
3. PSYCH reserves the right to refuse to accept any booking at its absolute discretion.
Fees
4. Fees for the Event are correct at the time of publication. PSYCH reserves the right to change the Fees at any time but changes will not affect registrations which have already been confirmed by PSYCH. The Fees (where required) are payable at the same time as You submit your booking form by credit card or cheque. You acknowledge that PSYCH cannot guarantee places held on a provisional basis and that places may sell out.
5. The Fees include:
(i) For conference delegates: one place at the Event, refreshments, lunch and Event materials.
(ii) For awards dinner delegates: one place at the awards dinner and cocktail reception, refreshments, dinner and Event materials.
6. The Fees do not include travel to or from the Event or any accommodation costs incurred.
7. We will charge sales tax where applicable.
Changes, Cancellations and Postponements
8. In certain circumstances it may be necessary for PSYCH to alter the content, format, venue or timing of an Event. All delegates will be notified of such changes prior to the Event.
9. If You cannot attend an Event for which You have registered, please contact PSYCH as soon as possible (and in any event no later than 24 hours before the Event) at info@psych.global PSYCH may at our absolute discretion allow You to send a substitute in your place (provided that PSYCH has received the details of such substitute) or allow You to attend the next available Event.
10. If You notify us that You wish to cancel your attendance at an Event for which a Fee is payable, then cancellation charges shall apply as follows (please note that refunds may take up to 14 working days to be processed), which You agree represent a genuine pre-estimate of the costs PSYCH will incur as a result of cancellation:
Written notice received by us | % of Fee to be charged
More than 30 days prior to the first day of the Event | 25%
Within 30 days to the first day of the Event | 100%
The refund will be distributed in the same form as the original payment was received (e.g. credit card payment will refund to the same credit card account number).
11. PSYCH may in exceptional circumstances need to postpone or cancel an Event, and we will notify You as soon as reasonably practicable of any such postponement or cancellation. If an Event is cancelled, or if an Event is postponed and You cannot attend the rearranged date, we will refund any Fees You have paid in advance within 8 weeks. You agree that PSYCH's liability to You will be limited to the amount of the Fees You have paid and PSYCH will not be liable to You for any expenditure, damage or loss incurred by You as a result of the cancellation or postponement.
12. PSYCH reserves the right to cancel your attendance at the Event and retain any Fees received in respect of your proposed Event attendance if You (or any of the shareholders or directors of the legal entity which You represent) become(s) subject to any Sanction, or continuation of these terms would (in the reasonable opinion of PSYCH) expose PSYCH or any of its affiliated companies to any Sanction, where “Sanction” means any sanction, prohibition or restriction under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the European Union, United Kingdom, Hong Kong or the United States of America.
