Terms and conditions of registration and ticket / pass sale for Aviation Carbon Events
a) The words “registration” and “order” are used interchangeably throughout our website, and their meaning is equivalent. More specifically, the registration process results in a confirmed order to attend the event, and an entry pass is sent by email to the person ordering it, and which needs to be presented (in electronic or printed format) at the event registration desk as proof of entitlement of entry.
b) 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 therefore we incur direct significant costs for each registered delegate. Therefore, when you register to attend an Aviation Carbon event we must consider your registration as binding, even if you may have benefited from one of our limited free offers. Nevertheless, we do have a cancellation policy which is explained further down this page.
c) 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.

ii) All prices shown are exclusive of UK VAT (value added tax) which shall be added 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.
