Cancellation Policy

Cancellation of Face-to-face Event:

In the event that the HITH ASM 2022 is unable to be held as a face-to-face event due to circumstances beyond HITH’s control, the ASM will be held as a virtual event, and all registrations will be transferred to virtual registrations.  If this occurs, specific instructions on how to login and access the Virtual Conference will be sent out to delegates prior to the event.

HITH Society is not responsible for the loss to delegates of any travel, hotel or other related costs as a result of the cancellation of the face-to-face 2022 Conference.

Delegates are recommended to organise travel insurance.  Individual policies may differ and are not likely to cover travel bans but you may be able to get coverage for cancelled accommodation charges due to contracting covid and not being able to attend.

Individual Cancellations:

Refunds of Conference Registration Fees paid, less a $100.00 AUD administration fee, will be granted until 13 October 2022. Cancellation must be received in writing to the Conference Secretariat before this date. Cancellations received after 13 October 2022 will NOT receive a refund. A replacement delegate can be sent login details with no penalty charged, however this must also be advised to the Conference Secretariat in writing.

Please note that Mantra Twin Town and the Oaks Calypso Plaza impose strict cancellation policies for accommodation rooms. Any rooms cancelled after 13 October 2022 will incur a 100% accommodation cancellation fee, which will be charged directly by the hotel against your credit card.

It is a hotel requirement that all bookings include credit card details. These credit card details will be forwarded to your selected hotel as a guarantee. If you have not done so already, please provide your credit card details to the Conference Secretariat.  Please note that the payment for one night’s accommodation may be charged by the hotel from 13 October 2022 as deposit to secure the booking, depending on the booking conditions of the property. You will be responsible for the balance of your account when checking out from your hotel. Accommodation rates listed above will only be provided to delegates who book through the Conference Secretariat and will not be honoured if booking directly with the hotel.
