PAYMENT, CANCELLATION, AND REFUND POLICY FOR VIRTUAL EVENTS
Payment Policy
Payment in full must be received by the published registration closing date.
​
Registrations with unpaid balances after the registration deadline may be canceled, and access to the virtual event may be removed.
​
For virtual events that include participant materials (such as printed resources, event supplies, apparel, or other distributed items), payment must be received at least 14 calendar days before the event start date to ensure materials can be processed and shipped in advance.
​
Payments received fewer than 14 calendar days before the event will still allow participation; however, participant materials will be mailed within six (6) weeks following the conclusion of the event.
NICCA will identify which virtual events include participant materials.
​
Cancellations and Refunds
All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to support@nicca.us.
​
-
Full refunds will be issued for cancellation requests received more than 30 calendar days before the first day of the event.
-
No refunds will be issued for cancellation requests received within 30 calendar days of the event or for registrants who do not attend.
​
Failure to participate in a virtual event does not constitute cancellation and does not entitle the registrant to a refund.
Non-payment of registration fees does not void this cancellation policy. Any outstanding balance remains due in accordance with NICCA's registration terms.
​
Refunds will be processed within 45 days of cancellation approval.
​
Registration Transfers
Registration substitutions are permitted at any time prior to the start of the event.
​
Transfer requests must be submitted in writing to support@nicca.us and include the name of the original registrant and the name and contact information of the substitute participant.
​
Event Recordings
If a virtual event includes access to session recordings, registrants who cancel within the non-refundable period will not receive access to those recordings unless otherwise specified by NICCA.
​
NICCA reserves the right to determine whether recordings will be available for a particular event and the length of time recordings will remain accessible.
​
Event Access
Registration provides access only to the individual registrant unless otherwise stated by NICCA.
​
Participants are responsible for ensuring they have adequate internet access, compatible technology, and any required software necessary to participate in the event. Technical difficulties experienced on the participant's end do not qualify for a refund.
​
Force Majeure
NICCA reserves the right to modify the event schedule, speakers, platform, or format due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
​
If NICCA cancels a virtual event, registrants will be offered either a full refund or a credit toward a future NICCA event. Credits must be used within twelve (12) months of issuance and may not be applied to separately ticketed special events or premium sessions unless otherwise specified by NICCA.
