CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY
It is hoped that everyone who registers for the conference will be able to attend; however, the Bridge & Tunnel Inspectors’ Conference knows extenuating circumstances do occur that necessitate cancellation. The following cancellation policy applies:
• All cancellations and requests for refunds or substitutions must be received in writing to conference management via email at ProfEd@wsu.edu.
• As a courtesy to conference organizers, registrants should communicate with conference management as soon as the need for cancellation is known. Please do not contact the planning committee regarding refund requests.
• If a personnel substitution must be made, please communicate with conference management via email at ProfEd@wsu.edu. Substitutions may be made without a fee until 12 noon PDT on Thursday, March 13, 2025. No substitutions may be made after 12:01 pm PDT on Thursday, March 13, 2025.
• Cancellations received before 12 noon PDT on Thursday, March 13, 2025, are eligible to receive a full refund less a $50 cancellation fee. Refunds will be returned via the original payment method. No refunds will be offered after 12 noon PDT on Thursday, March 13, 2025, unless in accordance with the Emergency Circumstances provision below.
• Conference registration fees will not be refunded for weather or travel-related delays or cancellations. Leaving the conference early, for any reason whatsoever, will not result in a refund, and no refunds will be made for any unused portions of the event. Likewise, refunds will not be granted for no-shows.
• Emergency Circumstances – Registrant is eligible to receive a full refund of all registration fees paid under the following circumstances:
a) Registrant is unable to attend the conference due to the death of an immediate family member or significant other (domestic partner or spouse).
b) Serious illness/debilitating health condition of Registrant, a direct family member, or significant other which necessarily restricts travel and full conference
participation by the Registrant.
c) The conference is cancelled.
d) Registrant is unable to travel due to a lockdown enforced by Registrant’s country of residence or travel restrictions imposed by Registrant’s institution,
company, or organization due to a global pandemic.
e) Registrant is unable to travel due to Visa restrictions related to a global pandemic.
f) Other extraordinary circumstance (e.g., the death of a service animal on which a disabled Registrant's attendance is predicated).
All refund requests due to emergency circumstances must be received prior to the last day of the conference. Lack of travel funding is not considered a valid emergency circumstance.
