Refund, cancellation and charges:

1. After you have registered and we have issued your invoice you become liable for paying the invoice by the given due date.
2. Cancellation and charges for online attendance: You may cancel your virtual attendance by emailing AptamersOxford@gmail.com. However, once paid, any fees and other payments cannot be refunded. We warmly welcome substitute delegates at any time. Please let us know of any changes by emailing AptamersOxford@gmail.com as soon as possible, but before the given registration deadline. The substitute participant will be required to register (free of charge).
3. If you underpay your fee by selecting the wrong payment option, you will be required to pay the remaining fee as soon as possible, or within 10 days in order for your registration to be confirmed. No refund of your partial payment will be given if you fail to complete your full payment.
4. A refund will not be issued if the online event cannot be held on advertised dates due to reasons beyond our control (force majeure). We will, however, offer participants alternative dates.
5. If we cancel the meeting for reasons other than force majeure, we will only refund the net payment received by us. Thus the refund will be minus any banking/money transfer costs (such as PayPal charges) and exchange rate losses. We will not be liable for any additional costs to the participant.
6. Payment by bank transfer is for the UK delegates only. If you pay from a non-UK bank account, and we have to give you a refund, we will deduct additional associated banking costs.
7. Cancellation and charges for in-person attendance: If
8. you (the delegate) cancel your in-person attendance for medical or other reasons, the refund given will be the applicable difference between the fees paid for in-person attendance and virtual attendance on the day of the cancellation. Admin charges (up to 18th February 2022 = £50 | 19th February – 07th March 2022 = £100), any banking fees (such as PayPal charges) and exchange rate losses will apply to all refunds. We are unable give any refunds after 07th March, but you will still be able to attend the conference online. (for example, if you have registered to attend in-person, but are unable to do so for whatever reason, no refund will be given after 07th March). We warmly welcome substitute delegates at any time. Please let us know of any changes by emailing AptamersOxford@gmail.com as soon as possible but before the given registration deadline. The substitute participant will be required to register (free of charge).
   1. If the in-person element of the conference is cancelled by the organisers, you will be refunded the difference between the applicable fee for online attendance and that for in-person attendance which we received from you. You will still be able to attend the conference online.
   2. If the in-person element of the conference is cancelled due to a government legislation, force majeure cancellation terms will apply.
