Payments for discounted early bird bookings must be received before the end of the early bird deadline to have the discount applied.
After the deadline, the full non-discounted rate will apply and any discount may be revoked.

Bookings from outside the British Isles
For all bookings made from outside the British Isles, we are unable to issue invoices and payment must be made with the booking.
We can gladly provide letters to assist with visa applications, but only once payment has cleared.

Tickets
Tickets cover one delegate only and must not be shared. Where ticket sharing is found to have taken place we will bill the full fee for every attendee.

Cancelling or substituting
We are happy to substitute or cancel places but must be notified of any intention to do so.

Substitutions may be made in writing / by email at any time before or at our registration desk at the event, however, the difference in a delegates MRS membership status (i.e. member or non-member) may affect the final cost and we will invoice accordingly. We are unable to make any refund or cancel invoices for requests received less than 28 days before the conference is scheduled to take place.
