4 Cancellation and Quality Assurance 

4.1 KUONI CONGRESS strives to provide you with the most productive and effective educational experience possible. If after attending the conference you feel there is some way we can improve, please provide us in writing with your comments on the evaluation form after the event. Should you feel dissatisfied with your experience and wish to request a credit or refund, please submit it in writing no later than 10 business days after the end of the Virtual Event to: Kuoni Congress, avenue des Morgines 12, 1213 Petit-Lancy, Switzerland.

We will evaluate individual complaints in a context of collective comments from the Virtual Event. As speakers are confirmed months before the Virtual Event, some speaker changes or topic changes may occur in the program. KUONI CONGRESS is not responsible for speaker changes but will work to ensure a comparable speaker is located to participate in the program.

4.2 All changes must be addressed to the Congress Secretariat in writing (icp2021@kuoni-congress.com).

4.3 Cancellations are subject to the entire Virtual Event registration fee. All sales are final. No payments will be refunded or refundable. Participants can transfer their registration to someone else, if they cannot attend. This can be done by writing to the Conference Secretariat (icp2021@kuoni-congress.com) before 21 June 2021. Please note that if you do not cancel and do not access the Virtual Event, you are still responsible for payment. In no event shall KUONI CONGRESS be obligated to refund all or a portion of the registration fee.

4.4 If KUONI CONGRESS is prevented from carrying out its obligations as it pertains to the Virtual Event you registered for as a result of any cause beyond its control, or such Virtual Event cannot be Virtually conducted because of a software or issue with the hosting platform or due to acts of God, strikes, labor disputes, government requisitions, restrictions or war or apparent act of war, terrorism, disaster, civil disorder, epidemic or pandemic, curtailment or restriction on transportation facilities, or any other comparable calamity, casualty or condition (collectively a “Force Majeure”) KUONI CONGRESS shall have the right to immediately terminate the affected Virtual Event without liability and shall be relieved of its obligations to Registrant.
