We reserve the right to refuse admission or remove any participant whose conduct is unlawful, disruptive, abusive, discriminatory, unsafe, or inconsistent with the professional standards of MAKLINKXCAN.

4. Registration, Payments & Refunds

Conference registration is confirmed only after full payment has been received.

Registration fees may be subject to applicable taxes and payment processing fees.

Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing.

Approved refunds will be processed using the original payment method within 30 business days following approval.

Bank charges, currency conversion fees, taxes, and non-recoverable third-party processing costs may be deducted where permitted by law.

MAKLINKXCAN is not responsible for travel, accommodation, visa, insurance, or other personal expenses resulting from an event cancellation unless required by applicable law.
