2. Refunds, minus €50 administration fee, will be given according to the Refund Policy in cases where delegates are not able to fund their travel, accommodation and stay for TIES 2024. Delegates must organise their own funding for financing their travel, accommodation and stay for the duration of TIES 2024.
3. Refunds will be given according to the Refund Policy in cases where a delegate’s visa is rejected. Delegates are responsible for applying for their own visas, including supporting documents requested for the visa applications, and any visa processing fees. Delegates are expected to apply for their visas in a timely manner. Refunds will not be given if the reason for visa rejection is that an incomplete visa application was submitted. Any refund claim will be considered by TIES and its decision will be final.
4. A paid registration cannot be transferred to the credit of another delegate’s unpaid registration. Special circumstances exist only for staff designated to attend of an organisation with ISI membership. Each case will be reviewed on an individual basis by TIES and its decision will be final.
5. In extreme cases where cancellation by the delegate is unavoidable due to special and unforeseen circumstances, the delegate must contact TIES for consideration of a (partial) refund minus €50 administration fee. TIES will consider and its decision will be final. 
6. In the unlikely event of the TIES 2024 Conference being cancelled by TIES, a full refund of the registration fee paid by the delegate will be made. Liability will be limited to the amount of the fee paid by the delegate and there will not be any additional liability to TIES or any other individual associated with the event organisation.
7. In the event that the TIES 2024 Conference cannot be held or is postponed due to events beyond the control of TIES (force majeure) or due to events which are not attributable to wrongful intent or gross negligence of TIES, liability will be limited to the amount of the fee paid by the delegate and there will not be any additional liability to TIES or any other organisation or individual associated with the event organisation.
