Refund and Cancellation Policy
All purchases of tickets for conferences and events are non-refundable in their entirety. Your ticket remains the property of Devex and is a personal revocable license, which may be withdrawn, and admission refused at any time upon a refund of the printed registration price. In the unlikely event of cancellation of a conference or event the liability of Devex is limited to the share of paid registration fees that remains after credit card and payment processing fees have been incurred and deducted. It is strictly forbidden for any company, organization or attendee to attempt to host or organise any event in conjunction with, contiguous to or purporting to be related to Devex World or its affiliates without the express prior permission and co-operation of Devex. In the event of breach of these terms any tickets purchased by the organiser and their affiliates will be rendered null and void. Devex reserves their right to take such legal action including a claim for damages as may be appropriate. The tickets purchased are for your own personal use or that of your business only and may not be re-sold or transferred for commercial gain under any circumstances, including but not limited to use as part of any promotion or competition. Where there has been any re-sale or attempted re-sale of any tickets (or any other breach of this term), we reserve the right to cancel the relevant tickets with immediate effect. We reserve the right to cancel any ticket purchase made by any person or body whom we reasonably believe to be associated with any ticket broker or tout. Devex reserves the right to refuse admission to any event or conference for any behaviour, which it deems unacceptable, or for breach of the terms and conditions.

In the event that an attendee’s VISA is not granted tickets will not be refunded for any event or conference. If an individual seeks a refund on general attendee tickets that were purchased before their startup ticket was purchased, Devex will not grant a full refund when the general attendee ticket price has increased beyond the startup ticket price. Name changes will be facilitated free of charge up to 90 days prior to the commencement of the event. No name changes will be facilitated 7 days prior to the commencement of the event and the ticket price will be forfeited.
