Cancellation Policy
Due to the nature of live events—including accommodation planning and capacity limitations mandated by venues, states, and the federal government for in-person events—we do not offer full refunds, however, we do offer the following:
- Participants who cancel more than 30 days prior to the event are eligible for a refund or credit to another Simplify Compliance event, less a $250 cancellation fee. The credit will be valid for up to 90 days from date of cancellation.
- Participants who cancel 10 to 30 days prior to the event are not eligible for a refund but are eligible for a credit to another Simplify Compliance event, less a $250 cancellation fee. The credit will be valid for up to 90 days from date of cancellation.
- Participants who cancel fewer than 10 days prior to the event will be considered “no shows” and will not be eligible for a refund or a credit.
- Participants who do not cancel and do not attend are liable for the full registration fee.
Note: Simplify Compliance and its comprising brands reserve the right to cancel or reschedule in-person programs and to close registration when programs are sold out. For these reasons, we advise registrants against purchasing non-refundable airline tickets. Should we postpone or cancel an in-person event, we will not refund your registration fee but will apply it to the rescheduled event or a future Simplify Compliance event.
