Conference Fee Refund & Cancellation Policy

Thank you for registering for the IG2025 Conference. Please read our refund and cancellation policy carefully.

Non-refundable and Non-transferable Policy

Upon completion of registration and payment of the applicable conference fee, your registration is considered final and binding. All conference registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. No exceptions will be made, regardless of the reason for cancellation or inability to attend, including but not limited to illness, travel-related issues, or changes in your professional circumstances.

No Disputes via Bank or Credit/Debit Card Providers

By completing registration and paying the conference fee, you explicitly agree not to dispute or challenge the charge through your bank, credit card provider, or debit card issuer. Initiating such disputes or chargebacks will constitute a breach of this agreement and may result in further administrative actions, including potential suspension from future conference events.

Enforcement & Blacklisting Clause for Payment Disputes

By registering and submitting payment for the IG2025 Conference, you are entering a legally binding agreement that includes strict adherence to our Terms & Conditions, including our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Any participant who initiates a dispute or chargeback through their credit card, bank, PayPal, or any other payment platform will be immediately blacklisted from the IG2025 Conference and permanently disqualified from future REPA-organized events.

As a result of such violation:

• Your name, affiliation, country, and submitted details will be publicly listed on the Blacklisted Participants page: https://ig2025.org/blacklisted-registrants.html
• Your invitation letter and visa support package will be revoked, and a report may be submitted to the U.S. Embassy or Consular Services regarding misuse of academic documents.
• You forfeit all rights to participate in any form (in-person or online), even if the payment was later completed successfully.
• Legal action may be taken for damages resulting from fraudulent activity or breach of digital agreement terms.

Please note that such conduct constitutes a serious ethical violation within the academic and professional community and will be dealt with accordingly.

Supporting Legal Framework

This refund and cancellation policy aligns with standard industry practices for professional and academic conferences, ensuring financial predictability and logistical certainty. Under the principles of contract law, your acceptance of these terms upon registration establishes a legally binding agreement between you and the IG2025 Conference organizers.

This policy is further supported by applicable regulations governing electronic transactions and online agreements, such as the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN), both recognizing digital consent as legally binding.

Example of Policy Enforcement

For instance, if a participant registers and completes payment, later discovering they are unable to attend due to unforeseen personal obligations or professional duties, the fee remains non-refundable. The conference organizers will not provide partial or full refunds, nor will they honor credit requests toward future events. However, online participation is guaranteed.
