IDENTIFYING THE CONTRACTING PARTIES

The Participant enters their purchase by filling in the registration form and the Qubit provides the product and issues the invoice accordingly.

If you submit your registration less than 7 business days prior to the first day of an event, then payment of all fees must be made in full and in cleared funds prior to attending the Event.

If you cancel and re-register, your new registration will reflect the current pricing as of the date of your final registration. Earlier registration pricing will not be honored. If you don’t attend the Event and have paid your registration fee, it will not be refunded. Please remember that cancelling your registration does not automatically cancel your hotel and travel arrangements. Individuals are responsible for cancelling their own hotel and travel reservations.

CANCELLATION BY QUBIT

Qubit reserves the right to reschedule or cancel any Event due to low enrollment or if necessitated by other circumstances. Qubit will notify you via email at least 10 business days prior to the course start date. Once notified you may reschedule or receive a full credit. Qubit shall not be liable for non-refundable travel arrangements if the Event is rescheduled/cancelled.

VIS MAIOR CANCELLATION

Qubit cannot be held responsible for changes and cancellations of the Event resulting from circumstances beyond our control such as war, strike, riot, crime, state of emergency, public health regulations or bans, extreme weather situations or issuance of any regulation or directive by any public authority that renders performance of Events impracticable, illegal or impossible (the Vis Maior Circumstances). We cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage as a result of a substitution, alteration, cancellation or postponement of the Event caused by the Vis Maior Circumstance. In such a case we might not be able to refund your registration fee (if paid) and additional fee for substitute Event may apply.

The Participant agrees that in case that due to any Force Majeure event Qubit will organize the Virtual Event instead of the Hybrid Event, Qubit will refund the aliquot difference between the In-preson Conference Pass and the Virtual Conference Pass back to the bank account of the Participant from which the Invoice was initially paid from and thus within (10) ten Working Days from the date on which the Virtual Event was organized.
