Conference Cancellation or Postponement

Outlandish Ventures Pty Ltd may cancel, postpone or otherwise modify the Conference due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including a Force Majeure Event. Such circumstances may include, but are not limited to, acts of God, terrorism, war, strikes or industrial action, fire, explosion, accident, breakdown of property or infrastructure, changes in law, pandemics, epidemics or other global or public health crises.

Due to the nature of the event, it may be necessary to postpone the Conference to a later date or year and/or change the Conference location.

If the Conference is postponed and, when requested, you advise that you are willing to attend the rescheduled Conference, your registration will be transferred to the rescheduled event. The organiser will endeavour to maintain the same registration conditions and equivalent registration entitlements, subject to reasonable modifications, availability and any changes required for the rescheduled event.

If, after agreeing to attend the rescheduled Conference, you subsequently choose not to attend, Outlandish Ventures Pty Ltd will not be required to refund any part of the Conference registration fee.

In the event of a full cancellation of the Conference, you will be entitled to a refund of 75% of the Conference registration fee received.

The maximum liability of Outlandish Ventures Pty Ltd under these Terms and Conditions is limited to the applicable refund of the Conference registration fee and any garden tour or workshop fees paid (if reserved). Outlandish Ventures Pty Ltd accepts no liability for travel costs, accommodation costs, visa costs, insurance costs or any other associated costs or expenses incurred by a delegate.
