Terms and conditions of registration and ticket sale for Aviation Carbon Events
1. General:
a) The words “registration” and “order” are used interchangeably throughout our website, and their meaning is equivalent.
b) The registration / order process results in a confirmed order to attend the event. An entry ticket is sent by email from our registration system to the person who order the ticket(s). The ticket must be presented at the event registration desk as proof of entitlement of entry, in electronic or printed paper format.
c) When you register to attend an event organised by Aviation Carbon Events (ACE), we have to commit to, and pay for, your place at the venue, and we incur direct significant costs for each registered delegate. Therefore, when you register to attend our events we consider your registration as binding, even if you have benefited from a free ticket. Nevertheless, we do have a cancellation policy which is explained further down this page.
d) Delegate name badges which are provided at the registration desk must be worn and fully visible to other delegates and staff at all times. This is for security reasons as well as the ability to quickly identify people.

We endeavour to update all references to prices elsewhere on our websites and other communications, however, we cannot guarantee that they are always updated due the time required to update websites and delays in transmitting information across the worldwide internet. All prices shown are per 1 entry ticket.
ii) All prices shown are exclusive of UK VAT (value added tax) which shall be added at the prevailing rate during the registration and payment process. Any discounts applied are deducted from the price net of VAT as shown in the Eventzilla system. After the discount is applied, VAT shall then be applied to the sale. You may be able to apply to reclaim VAT incurred from your local tax authority, however, we cannot enter into any discussions with you concerning VAT payment nor refunds. All prices advertised are per entry ticket.
iii) The organisers reserve the right to increase or decrease or remove ticket prices, and any discount rates, or offers, or change ticket types and names, at any time and without notice and without any liability nor any rebate to refund any amount in respect of any registration already made. Discount offers are offered purely on a goodwill basis and are not contractual in any way, they can be changed or withdrawn at any time. In other words, the price that you pay at the time of your registration on our ‘Eventzilla’ system is binding and no further discounts or reductions shall apply, nor are prior discounts or prices applicable.
