Payment policy 

Payment is due in full at the time of registration for events and upon subscribing for paid content services. This includes access to conferences, lunches, refreshments, detailed conference materials, as well as access to subscriber-only content on our platform. Your registration and access to paid content will not be confirmed until payment is received and may be subject to cancellation. 

Science|Business cancellation, postponement, and substitution Policy 

Events: 

  • You may substitute delegates at any time by providing reasonable advance notice to Science|Business. 

  • For any cancellations received in writing not less than eight (8) days prior to the conference, you will receive a 90% credit to be used at another Science|Business conference or towards content subscription, which must occur within one year from the date of issuance of such credit. An administration fee of 10% of the contract fee will be retained by Science|Business for all permitted cancellations. 

  • No credit will be issued for any cancellations occurring within seven (7) days (inclusive) of the conference. 

Digital content services: 

  • Auto-renewal of subscription: All content subscriptions are set to automatically renew upon expiration. This auto-renewal feature is enabled by default at the time of purchase and is clearly disclosed during the subscription process. Subscribers may manage or disable the auto-renewal feature at any time by accessing the subscription management section within their user account. 

  • Cancellation policy: Subscribers may cancel their subscription at any time before the renewal date through their account settings. Upon cancellation, the subscription will remain active and accessible until the end of the current billing cycle, but no refund will be issued for any remaining period of the subscription term. A refund for any outstanding period of subscription will only occur if Science|Business discontinues the services. 

  • Non-transferability of subscriptions: Personal subscriptions are issued to the individual subscriber and are non-transferable. Any unauthorised sharing or transfer of subscription access is prohibited without the express permission of Science|Business.
