registration Policies
Refund Policy
Refund requests must be made in writing to ISPD Headquarters on or prior to
14 April 2008. A 75% refund of the conference and workshop
registration fees will be given for cancellations received on or prior
to 14 April 2008.
No refunds will be made after 14 April 2008.
No refunds shall be made to individuals who attend a portion of the meeting. No refunds shall be made for cancellations due to inclement weather. ISPD reserves the right to substitute faculty, or cancel or reschedule sessions (because of low enrollment or other circumstances). If ISPD must cancel the conference in its entirety due to circumstances beyong the reasonable control of ISPD (including but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, failure of transportation, weather, accidents, fires, electrical failures, strikes, labor disputes, postal delays, explosions, and government orders or regulations), ISPD may refund the appropriate registration fees to conference registrants; no refunds shall be made for travel expenses related to the conference. Registrants who purchase non-refundable airline tickets do so at their own risk.
Substitution Policy
If you find that you are unable to attend workshops or the conference, you are welcome to send a colleague in your place. There is no fee to make this change up to 31 March 2008. Registration substitutions after 31 March 2008 will be charged a $55.00 processing fee.
Returned Check Policy
Remittance must be made in U.S. Dollars. A $25.00 surcharge may be assessed to cover any collection fees.
Important Payment Note
The registration form must be accompanied by your credit card information or check in full payment of registration fees and events. All non-U.S. members will be charged the U.S. Dollar equivalent at the time the charge is processed, unless otherwise indicated. To qualify for early registration rates, your registration form and payment must be faxed or postmarked by 9 April 2008.
Refunds In Case of Emergency
If an attendee is unable to attend the preconference workshops or the Conference based on serious illness or death (of self or a family member), a partial refund (amount paid minus a $55 processing charge) may be granted. Requestors shall submit the request in writing to ISPD Headquarters. The Program Chair(s) shall review the request to ensure it is in accordance with written policy. No refunds will be granted for cancelled or missed flights and/or inclement weather.
Exhibitors
Exhibitors are subject to the same refund and substitution policies above. They do not qualify for the hardship policy with the belief that an exhibiting organization can send a different representative if the original representative is unable to attend.
Media Attendance
The Program Committee may issue press passes to representatives
of news media outlets that ISPD solicits to attend its meeting and/or
approves on a case-by-case basis.
