8. Events, including Open Courses and Online Events

8.1. Your registration is an offer to MPG to attend an Event which is subject to MPG’s acceptance in writing (which may include (without limitation) email). A binding contract between MPG and you will only be formed when written confirmation of acceptance (“Confirmation” or “Confirmed”) is sent by MPG to you (regardless of whether it is received or not) using the contact details you provided at the time of registration. You should contact MPG if you have not received Confirmation within 24 hours of your registration. MPG reserves the right to refuse or accept your registration and this refusal or acceptance is at the sole discretion of an authorised individual representing MPG.

8.2. Payment for the Event must be received in full and in cleared funds by MPG from you not later than 48 hours before the Event. If payment in full is not received before the Event, MPG may (at its sole discretion) either require payment as a condition of your entry to the Event or refuse you entry to the Event. No refunds of any proportion of fees already paid (if any) will be made and any balance of the fees will remain due and payable where entry to an Event is refused under this Condition 8.2.

8.3. All discounts can only be applied at the time of registration and discounts cannot be combined apart from when this is clearly stated on the website that it is possible to combine discounts. All discounts are subject to MPG’s approval. Discounts for group registrations need to be agreed on an ad hoc basis with an authorised representative of MPG. If the number of delegates that actually attend the Event is (for any reason) higher than the number specified at the point of registration (e.g. if it is apparent that a client has included more attendees to the event than have paid registration fees), then registration fees for those who have not yet paid but have participated in an Event will need to be paid within 24 hours of the course ending via credit card using MPG’s online payment portal. MPG’s published prices will be applied. Failure to pay for additional participants will result in MPG not allowing any representatives from the same company to access the digital content package of course materials, and MPG may refuse access for anyone from the organisation to any future Event or other Services delivered by MPG on the basis of this type of non-payment.

8.4. Prices for each Event are correct at the time of publication on MPG’s Website and in supplementary, officially produced MPG materials. MPG reserves the right to change the Event prices at any time, however changes will not apply to registrations MPG has already confirmed.

8.5. If you cancel your registration 21 days or more before the Event, MPG you will be obliged to pay a sum equivalent to 20% of your registration fee (plus VAT where applicable). MPG regrets that the full registration fee remains payable in the event that your cancellation is received 14 days or less before the Event or if you fail to attend the Event. All cancellations must be made in writing to [email protected] and received by MPG.

8.6. Substitutions with employees from your organisation are welcome but your request should be submitted in writing and received by MPG no later than 24 hours before the start of the Event. In all other respects delegate registrations are issued for your personal use only and cannot be shared with any person during the Event. You may not purchase registrations as agent for any third party or sell or otherwise transfer your registration to others or exploit the registration commercially or non-commercially in any way.

8.7. You may transfer your registration for the Event to an alternative Event run by MPG provided the transfer request is received in writing by MPG no later than 14 days before the originally booked Event and provided there are spaces available on the alternative course and booking of the alternative course is confirmed within 24 hours of the registrant requesting a transfer. Transfers will be charged at £100 + VAT per registrant. MPG will apply a charge of 100% of the original registration fee in the event that your transfer request is received less than 5 days before the Event, a suitable alternative course is not available and the registrant has refused any other offer MPG has put forward to deliver an alternative service . All transfer requests must be made in writing to [email protected] and received by MPG at least 5 days before the originally booked Event. Transfers are only possible within 6 months of the original booking. You may only transfer between courses once. MPG regrets that it cannot accept cancellations once you have transferred to an alternative course and any fees will remain payable in full.

8.8. MPG reserves the right to change the format, speakers, participants, content, digital platform and programme or any other aspect of the Event at any time and for any reason, whether or not due to a Force Majeure, in each case without liability.

8.9. MPG may (at its sole discretion) change the date of or cancel an Event at any time for any reason. Where MPG changes the date or cancels the Event for any reason except due to a Force Majeure Event (in which case the terms of Condition 11 shall apply) MPG shall offer you the option of attending any re-arranged Event that MPG organises. If you choose not to attend the re-arranged Event (and notify MPG of such in good time) or if MPG does not organise such an Event within 12 months of the original course date, then you will (as your sole remedy) be entitled, at your discretion, to receive either a credit note or a refund in respect of the registration fees received by MPG.

8.10. Where a Force Majeure Event has or may have (in MPG’s sole discretion) an adverse impact on: (i) the ability of MPG to hold the Event on a planned location/digital platform or on the planned date; or (ii) the Event generally, then MPG shall be entitled but not obliged (in its sole discretion) to either:

8.10.1. provide alternative location/digital platform for the Event; and/or

8.10.2. reschedule the Event. Any of your fees received by MPG shall be applied to any rearranged or rescheduled Event held pursuant to this Condition 8.10 and you shall not be entitled to object to such rearranged or rescheduled Event or have any right to claim any compensation in respect thereof. If MPG is unable or elects not to rearrange or reschedule the Event pursuant to this Condition 8.10, then you will (as its sole remedy) be entitled, in your sole discretion, to receive either a refund or credit note in respect of your fees received by MPG, in each case less an administration charge equivalent to 20% of the total amount of your fees (which MPG may (in its sole discretion) either deduct from any refund or credit note or invoice to you separately). For the purpose of this Condition 11 “Force Majeure Event” means any event arising that is beyond the reasonable control of MPG including (without limitation) to speaker or participant cancellation or withdrawal, supplier or contractor failure, venue damage or cancellation, health scares, industrial dispute, governmental regulations or action, military action, fire, flood, disaster, civil riot, acts of terrorism or war. These terms and conditions shall apply in respect of the rearranged or rescheduled Event organised by MPG pursuant to this Condition 8.10.

8.11. MPG may (at its sole discretion) refuse admission to, or eject from the Event, any person in its absolute discretion, including (without limitation) any person who fails to comply with these terms and conditions or who in the opinion of MPG represents a security risk, nuisance or annoyance to the running of the Event. You agree to comply with all reasonable instructions issued by MPG or the venue/digital platform providers at the Event.

8.12. All unauthorised photography and the recording or transmitting of audio or visual material, data or information is expressly prohibited. You consent to filming and sound recording and photography of the Event as a delegate and you consent to the use by MPG of any such recording or photography anywhere in the world for marketing and other purposes.

8.13. MPG holds full copyright of all materials shared during the course, including recordings and all documentation shared. These are for the sole use of the Registrants and the organisation the Registrant represents.

8.14. MPG may require Online Event Attendees to access training via a third-party website channels such as RingCentral, Livestorm or Zoom (“Channel”).
