I have registered for the conference but am unable to attend, what can I do?
We understand that due to unforeseen work commitments or changes to personal circumstances, delegates are sometimes unable to attend our events. To mitigate this we operate a flexible policy where you can send a replacement delegate to attend any event at no extra cost, subject to qualification. If a replacement delegate is unable to attend then the following cancellation fees apply:
Changes, Cancellations and Postponements
Whilst our programmes are correct at the time of going to press, in certain circumstances it may be necessary for FT to alter the content, format, venue or timing of an Event. All delegates will be notified of such changes prior to the Event.
If you cannot attend an Event for which you have registered, please contact FT as soon as possible (and in any event no later than 24 hours before the Event) at [email protected] or Marketing Department, Financial Times Live Global Conferences & Events, Number One Southwark Bridge, London SE1 9HL, United Kingdom. FT may at our absolute discretion allow you to send a substitute in your place or allow you to attend the next available Event (provided that FT has received the details of such substitute).
If you notify us that you wish to cancel your attendance at an Event for which a Fee is payable, then cancellation charges shall apply as follows (please note that refunds may take up to 14 working days), which you agree represent a genuine pre-estimate of the costs FT will incur as a result of cancellation:
|
Written notice received by us |
% of Fee to be charged |
| > 30 days prior to the first day of the Event |
10% |
| Between 14 days and 29 days prior to the first day of the Event |
The greater of £120 or 50% |
| < 14 days prior to the first day of the Event |
100% |
FT may in exceptional circumstances need to postpone or cancel an Event, and we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable of any such postponement or cancellation. If an Event is cancelled, or if an Event is postponed and you cannot attend the rearranged date, we will refund any Fees you have paid in advance within 8 weeks. You agree that FT's liability to you will be limited to the amount of the Fees you have paid and FT will not be liable to you for any expenditure, damage or loss incurred by you as a result of the cancellation or postponement.
