Refund policies are stated on the purchase or registration page when you purchase goods or register for conferences or trainings. Invoices are due within 30 days. PNCWA ships all goods by either US Postal Service, UPS, or occasionally FedEx. Goods purchased on the PNCWA website are shipped within 7 working days unless you are notified by email or telephone within two days at which time you may either agree to backorder or cancel your purchase.

Refund requests for defective goods must be made within 30 days of receipt of your purchase. You will be given instructions on return of goods and all refunds for this reason will be made within 30 days.

Individual or group registration for conferences or workshops participation is binding unless a specific mention of non-binding preregistration is listed for that particular event or workshop. In those and only in those event workshops If your faxed approval or payment is not received 10 days prior to the event your "preregistration" will be voided.

For all other events cancellation requests received n writing, via email, or fax 10 working days prior to the event, will be refunded minus a $50 processing fee. Substitutions are welcome. Fees are owed upon registration and are payable within 30 days unless stated otherwise.

For Exhibitor or Vendor displays cancellation requests received in writing or by fax 30 working days prior to the event, will be refunded at 75%. After that there will be no refunds unless a substitute exhibitor or vendor takes the display space in question. In that case the original exhibitor or vendor who canceled the original reservation or purchase will be eligible for a refund of 50%. For Exhibitor or Vendor displays fees are owed upon registration and are payable within 10 days unless stated otherwise.

Registration is not guaranteed until payment is received. Programs may be subject to changes. Payments will be refunded if the conference is cancelled by PNCWA and in that case, PNCWA will have no further liability to the participant. Registrations remain valid if the conference has to be postponed.
