For any cancellations received in writing not less than eight (8) days prior to the conference, you will receive a 90% credit to be used at another IQPC conference which must occur within one year from the date of issuance of such credit. An administration fee of 10% of the contract fee will be retained by IQPC for all permitted cancellations. No credit will be issued for any cancellations occurring within seven (7) days (inclusive) of the conference.
In the event that IQPC cancels an event for any reason, you will receive a credit for 100% of the contract fee paid. You may use this credit for another IQPC event to be mutually agreed with IQPC, which must occur within one year from the date of cancellation.
In the event that IQPC postpones an event for any reason and the delegate is unable or unwilling to attend in on the rescheduled date, you will receive a credit for 100% of the contract fee paid. You may use this credit for another IQPC event to be mutually agreed with IQPC, which must occur within one year from the date of postponement.
Except as specified above, no credits will be issued for cancellations. There are no refunds given under any circumstances.
IQPC is not responsible for any loss or damage as a result of a substitution, alteration or cancellation/postponement of an event. IQPC shall assume no liability whatsoever in the event this conference is cancelled, rescheduled or postponed due to a fortuitous event, Act of God, unforeseen occurrence or any other event that renders performance of this conference impracticable, illegal or impossible. For purposes of this clause, a fortuitous event shall include, but not be limited to: war, fire, labor strike, extreme weather or other emergency.
Please note that while speakers and topics were confirmed at the time of publishing, circumstances beyond the control of the organizers may necessitate substitutions, alterations or cancellations of the speakers and/or topics. As such, IQPC reserves the right to alter or modify the advertised speakers and/or topics if necessary without any liability to you whatsoever. Any substitutions or alterations will be updated on our web page as soon as possible.

Discounts

All 'Early Bird' Discounts must require payment at time of registration and before the cut-off date in order to receive any discount.
Any discounts offered whether by IQPC (including team discounts) must also require payment at the time of registration.
All discount offers cannot be combined with any other offer

Other Additional Terms

Please note that using the conference as a platform to promote other events is strictly not permitted. Attendees may not distribute or promote literature relating to competing events, nor may they approach IQPC's speaking faculty or sponsors with a view to participation at such an event. Failure to observe this clause will result in attendees being removed from the event without any entitlement to refunded fees or incurred expenses. IQPC will be the arbiter of what constitutes a competitive event and any potential promotion planned of this nature must be explicitly agreed in writing by the organisers prior to the conference.

In addition, our delegate attendees are invited to the conference to participate in the conference activities organized by IQPC and the event sponsors, and to meet and interact with other attendees through those activities. While we appreciate some delegates will attend to network, and for business development purposes, Delegate attendees are prohibited from organizing or hosting their own promotional and business development side activities and events within the conference, (such as separate dinners and the distribution of promotional materials which are strictly reserved for sponsors), unless they have specifically contracted with IQPC to do so. Failure to observe this clause will result in attendees being removed from the event without any entitlement to refunded fees or incurred expenses. Should any of the above be unclear please do not hesitate to contact us.
