If accommodation has been secured through the Congress website, please refer to the individual cancellation terms and conditions for each individual hotel.

In the case of extenuating circumstances, a refund outside of these terms and conditions may be considered by and at the discretion of the Biomolecular Horizons 2024 Organising Committee upon application.

If the Congress converts to a hybrid format in-person to virtual or virtual to in-person registrations, may be permitted and will be processed on a case-by-case basis following application to the Congress Office.

Congress Cancellation or Postponement
The Biomolecular Horizons Organising Committee may cancel or postpone the Congress 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 Congress.

In the event the Congress 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 Congress, the Congress Organising Committee will not be required to refund any part of the Congress registration fee.

In the event of postponement of the Congress, if, when requested, you advise that you are willing to attend the rescheduled Congress, your registration will be transferred and the same conditions and equivalent registration entitlements (subject to reasonable modification and availability) at the rescheduled event are guaranteed. If, at a later date, you then choose not to attend the rescheduled Congress, the Biomolecular Horizons Organising Committee will not be required to refund any part of the Congress registration fee.

In the event of a full cancellation of the Congress by the Biomolecular Horizons Organising Committee, you will be entitled to a full refund of the amount of the Congress registration fee received.

The maximum liability of the Biomolecular Horizons Organising Committee under these Terms and Conditions is limited to a refund of the Congress 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 Congress, you must cancel your in-person attendance in writing by email to Congress Office. A virtual registration (if available) will then be offered, with any difference in price refunded. A full refund may be provided at the discretion of the Biomolecular Horizons Organising Committee, however you may be asked to provide additional details.

Accommodation
For accommodation cancellation policies, please refer to the individual policies noted on the Accommodation Page. Any amendments to original hotel bookings must be forwarded via email to the Congress Office. Verbal changes or cancellations cannot be accepted nor will the hotels accept any changes advised to them directly.

Disclaimer
By registering, you acknowledge and consent that during your attendance at the Biomolecular Horizons Congress your image or voice may be recorded via video, photograph or by any other means (“recorded”) by an officer or official of the Congress which may be distributed or published at the discretion of the organisers of the Biomolecular Horizons Congress. If you do not wish to be recorded, you are required to formally advise the Congress Office in advance by email.

Insurance
Participants are strongly advised to secure appropriate travel and health insurance. Delegate registration fees do not provide any such insurance coverage. The Biomolecular Horizons Organising Committee and the Congress Office accept no responsibility for any loss in this regard.
