Terms and Conditions

What these terms cover. These are the terms and conditions that apply when registering, purchasing a ticket, or attending QCon Plus. Please read these terms carefully before registering with us.
Who we are. QCon Plus is trademarked and a wholly-owned brand of C4Media Inc., located in Toronto, Canada at #705-2267 Lake Shore Blvd W, Toronto, ON, Canada, M8V 3X2. In these terms, any reference to “QCon Plus”, “QCon”, "we", "us", C4Media, or the “Event” also includes and will be read as a reference to C4Media Inc. and its subsidiaries. As such, all these terms also apply to and indemnify C4Media Inc., and all its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Registration. Our acceptance of registration will take place when we send you an email to confirm your registration to the event has been successful, at which point a contract will be formed between us and you.
Cancellation & refunds. You can cancel your purchase up to 14 days before the event date by emailing info@qconferences.com. Thereafter, we do not offer refunds. At our discretion, refunds may be subject to an administrative fee. Refunds are limited to the amount of the ticket price. In no event shall C4Media, Inc. be held liable for any damages or expenses incurred related to the Event beyond the amount of the original ticket price paid. Please note that all transfer tickets (tickets that were transferred from another C4Media event to QCon Plus) are considered final purchases and cannot be canceled or transferred again (to another event or another person).
Real identity. Participants must use their real identities on all the Event platforms.
Access credentials are individual. Sharing Access credentials is prohibited. Event participants violating this policy may be sanctioned, expelled from the Event without a refund, and/or barred from attending future events at the discretion of the Event organizers (sponsors are exempt from this policy).
Pre-Paid Access Only. Only participants who have paid for the Event in full will be admitted and receive access credentials.
Event Cancellations & Changes. C4Media reserves the right to cancel or postpone the Event and/or co-located Events in their entirety or in parts at our sole discretion. If we cancel or postpone the Event, we will use reasonable efforts to reschedule them within six (6) months from their original start date. Registration fees paid by registrants for a canceled or postponed event shall be applicable to the rescheduled Event and be considered paid in full for the equivalent ticket. In the event that we are not able to reschedule the canceled Event(s), registrants will be offered a refund. Event dates and times are subject to change. Under no circumstances will C4Media be held responsible for any expenses an attendee incurs beyond the cost of the Event ticket itself. C4Media, Inc. reserves the right to change any and all speakers or instructors without notice.
Technical Issues. It is the registrant's responsibility to have a computer system compatible with the software platforms the Event is using. We recommend participating in the Event from a laptop or desktop and not from any mobile device or tablet and we do not have control over or take any responsibility for technical issues that the individual registrant may encounter. Should a registered attendee encounter individual technical issues in attending the Event, we provide a detailed FAQ section as well as limited tech support, however, such issues will not be a reason for a refund. In the case of significant downtime of any of the software platforms that we are using to host the Event and that affect all participants, we reserve the right to cancel or postpone in accordance with these terms and conditions. We cannot be held accountable for any email gateway issue. If a registered attendee cannot find their registration confirmation email or credential details, please contact us at info@qconferences.com.
Payment. The registration fees may be subject to taxes which will be noted and displayed during the purchase process. QCon Plus complies with all local tax filings and regulations. It is the registrant’s responsibility to comply with their own respective tax laws. A payment charged to your credit card or PayPal account is processed directly by us in the USD amount stated on the event website. If your card is not denominated in USD currency, your bank will process the charge at their foreign currency exchange rate. Additionally, the event charge is generated from Canada (see the “Who we are” section of this document), which means that customers outside Canada might incur a foreign transaction fee from their issuing bank. C4Media does not control nor collect these fees, therefore we are not responsible for any discrepancies resulting from charges including bank exchange rates, bank card exchange rates, foreign bank transaction fees, or internet posted exchange rates.
Code of Conduct. We expect all participants to follow our Code of Conduct to ensure that all Event participants can enjoy a safe and productive environment. Please read our code of conduct at https://plus.qconferences.com/code-conduct
