Confirmation of bookings

1. All bookings are subject to availability and acceptance by ERMC, which will be confirmed in writing (including by e-mail) after ERMC has received the completed registration form, the related fee if required (the “Fee”), and anything else that ERMC may require. You place is not confirmed until ERMC sends you a written confirmation.

2. Upon ERMC’s written confirmation to You of its acceptance of your booking for a place at the Event there shall be a legally binding contract between ERMC and You to which these terms and conditions apply.

3. ERMC reserves the right to refuse to accept any booking in its absolute discretion.

Fees

4. Fees for the Event are correct at the time of publication.

12. ERMC 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 ERMC’s liability to You will be limited to the amount of the Fees You have paid and ERMC will not be liable to You for any expenditure, damage or loss incurred by You as a result of the cancellation or postponement.
