Event Cancellation
If for any reason NATA cancels or substantially shortens NATA 2024, or a portion thereof, the registrant agrees its sole remedy is the return of all or a portion (as applicable) of the registration fees already paid. NATA will endeavor to inform registrants of substantial changes in programming that may affect travel plans in a reasonable amount of time after any such changes are made final. Notwithstanding the preceding, registrants will be responsible for cancellation of travel arrangements, housing, visa and any other arrangements and NATA shall not be liable to pay any applicable cancellation or other fees or damages incurred as a result.
Payment
Registration fees for NATA 2024 are due upon registration or at badge pickup. If payment is insufficient or declined for any reason, NATA won’t provide an attendee badge and shall have no liability in that regard.
Visa Requirements
It’s solely the attendee’s responsibility to comply with any government visa requirements and failure to do so doesn’t constitute a basis for a refund.
