Cancellation of registration by attendee:
Cancellation of a registration must be communicated via email to [email protected] . Verbal changes of cancellation are not accepted. For cancellations confirmed on or before 2 August 2025, there will be a 20% administration charge applied to the registration fee which will be deducted at the time of refund. Membership fees are non-refundable. Please note the refund will be returned via the same payment method as the original receipt of funds, no later than 31 December 2025. Refunds will not be given for no-shows. For cancellations confirmed after 2 August 2025, there will be no refunds and attendees will incur a cancellation fee equal to 100% of the registration fees.
 
Where there are extenuating circumstances (these do not include visa rejections or delays), a refund outside of these terms may be considered by and at the discretion of the ISUOG Secretariat (this is not guaranteed). In these circumstances, delegates will be asked to provide detailed reasons and proof to support their request. Any refunds outside our normal terms will only be reviewed and processed after the ISUOG 2025 World Congress and no later than 31 December 2025.
 
Substitution of registration by attendee:
Substitutions of attendees (name changes) can be made up until by 14 August 2025 and must be requested in writing via email to [email protected]. We are unable to make any substitutions without instruction from the original registered delegate in writing. The new delegate will need to first register themselves and pay the full registration fee applicable to their own registration status (which differs from delegate to delegate), after which the withdrawing delegate will be reimbursed their original fee without admin charges retained – except the membership fee which is non-refundable and non-transferable and membership benefits will already have started for the original delegate.
 
Changes to registration preferences by attendee:
Changes to preferences such as dietary requirements, access requirements, etc. can only be made by writing to [email protected] until 14 August 2025. ISUOG cannot guarantee updated requirements can be met but will endeavor to do so.

ISUOG will not be responsible for refunding any costs associated with travel (e.g. transport, accommodation, visas, etc.) and recommends attendees purchase the appropriate personal insurance accordingly.
 
Postponement or cancellation by ISUOG:
If for reasons outside of its control, a decision is made by ISUOG to postpone or modify the dates of the World Congress, registrations will be transferred to the new dates. If the event has to be cancelled entirely and cannot be transferred to virtual or postponed, registrations by individuals will be reimbursed (unless force majeure applies, see below), however a charge for administrative costs may be retained.  ISUOG will not be responsible for refunding any costs associated with travel (e.g. transport, accommodation, visas, etc.) and recommends attendees purchase the appropriate personal insurance accordingly.

Under these circumstances, ISUOG reserves the right to either retain the entire registration fee and to use it for a future Congress, or to reimburse the attendee after deducting costs already incurred for the organisation of the ISUOG 2025 World Congress or which could not be recovered from third parties. ISUOG may at its discretion repay the registration fee or part thereof, but shall be under no obligation to do so and shall be under no liability to the attendee in respect of any actions, claims, losses (including consequential losses), costs or expenses whatsoever which may be brought against or suffered or incurred by attendee, as the result of the happening of any such event.
