In-Person Events Cancellation Fee Policy
Our cancellation fee is in place to cover the costs incurred by AMHS when a service you’ve purchased is cancelled close to the delivery date. This fee is in addition to any administration fees and is necessary due to commitments we have made to third parties, such as booking venues for conferences or workshops. It also compensates for opportunity costs, like the lost chance to fill the spot through marketing if there’s insufficient time to do so.
Fee Structure:
The cancellation fee varies based on the service type and the timing of the cancellation. Specific details are usually provided on the product page for each service on our website. Below is a general outline of our fee structure:
For In-Person Services (Workshops, Conferences, Training, Seminars):
- Over 30 Days Notice: Cancellations made more than 30 days before the event or course will incur a $45 administration fee to help cover administrative costs and fees incurred.
- Within 30 Days: If you cancel within 30 days of the event, the fee is $55 per registered day. For instance, a two-day conference would incur a maximum fee of $110.
- 7-Day Notice: If you cancel within 7 days of the event, the fee increases to $110 per registered day. For a two-day conference, this would mean a maximum fee of $120.
We know plans change, and we aim to be fair while honoring our commitments to provide these services. If you have any questions or need to discuss a specific cancellation, please don’t hesitate to contact us at: ausmetabolichealthsoc@gmail.com
IMPORTANT: This policy applies to ALL courses offered by AMHS, including all current courses and any future courses that will be created
