Delegate Terms and Conditions
CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellation by a participant
Where a place has been booked a 90% refund will be given for cancellation up to 4 weeks before the event, a 50% refund will be given for cancellation up to 2 weeks before the course. No refund will be given for a cancellation within 2 weeks of the course. If eligible for a refund this must be claimed within three months of the event taking place.
This includes failure to attend due to illness. The policy will also be valid for a cancellation of a place for an overseas participant. In addition, any extra costs incurred for bank charges and administration will be subtracted from the final refund.
Participants who fail to attend the event on the date booked without giving notice or who give notice after the event has started are not eligible for a refund or a transfer to another event regardless of the reason for non-attendance.
Cancellation by POGP
In the very unlikely, unforeseeable event that POGP cancel an event it will offer the delegate the a full refund.
POGP will try to give at least 2 weeks’ notice but sometimes this is not possible. POGP reserve the right to cancel an event where it is believed the weather conditions are so bad that it would be unreasonable to expect delegates and/or speakers to travel to the venue. It is the participant’s responsibility to research alternative methods of transportation before an event to assure you can attend. POGP reserve the right to alter any specified speaker (to cover for sickness or late unavailability) to enable an advertised event to run.
We recommend that you book fully refundable travel and accommodation for your event. POGP accepts no liability for non-refundable costs in the event that an event is cancelled. You might like to consider travel insurance to cover any significant non-refundable costs incurred.
Cancellation due to COVID-19
Refunds due to COVID-19 can only be given in the following circumstances:
If POGP cancels the event prior to commencement POGP delegates will be offered the opportunity to transfer to a future POGP event. If an alternative date is not acceptable the course fee will be refunded with no administration fee charged. However, POGP is not responsible for any travel or other expenses which may have been incurred.
The same rules will apply to delegates who are unable to attend the POGP course due to travel restrictions imposed by the UK government or, for overseas participants travel restrictions imposed by their national government. Documentary evidence may be required for overseas participants.
If this is the case please email courses@thepogp.co.uk to notify POGP.
POGP reserves the right to alter the cancellation policy.
