RACDS may cancel or postpone the Conference due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to Acts of God, terrorism, war, strikes or industrial action, fire, explosion, inevitable accident, breakdown of property, changes in law, or pandemics or global health crises. Due to the nature of the event, it may be reasonable to postpone the event to a later year and/or to change the location for the Conference. 

In the event the Conference is not able to proceed as planned, and is moved to a virtual format, your registration will be transferred to a virtual registration. If you choose not to attend the virtual Conference, RACDS will not be required to refund any part of the Conference registration fee.

In the event of postponement of the Conference, if, when requested, you advise that you are willing to attend the rescheduled Conference, RACDS will transfer the registration and guarantee the same conditions and equivalent registration entitlements (subject to reasonable modification and availability) at the rescheduled event. If, at a later date, you then choose not to attend the rescheduled Conference, the RACDS will not be required to refund any part of the Conference registration fee. 

In the event of a full cancellation of the Conference by the RACDS, you will be entitled to a full refund of the amount of the Conference registration fee received.

The maximum liability of the RACDS under these Terms and Conditions is limited to a refund of the Conference registration fee with no additional liability for travel costs, hotel costs, or any other associated costs.

DELEGATE CANCELLATION - MEDICAL 
If, on medical grounds, you are unable to attend the Conference, you must cancel your attendance in writing by email to racds@wsm.com.au. A virtual registration (if available) will may be offered, with any difference in price refunded. A full refund may be provided at the discretion of the RACDS, however you may be asked to provide additional details.
