If the Congress converts to a hybrid format in-person to virtual or virtual to in-person registrations, may be permitted and will be processed on a case-by-case basis following application to the Congress Office.
Congress Cancellation or Postponement
The World Congress on Endometriosis may cancel or postpone the Congress due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to Acts of God, terrorism, war, strikes or industrial action, fire, explosion, inevitable accident, breakdown of property, changes in law, or pandemics or global health crises. Due to the nature of the event, it may be reasonable to postpone the event to a later year and/or to change the location for the Congress.
In the event the Congress is not able to proceed as planned, and is moved to a virtual format, your registration will be transferred to a virtual registration. If you choose not to attend the virtual Congress, the Congress Organising Committee will not be required to refund any part of the Congress registration fee.
In the event of postponement of the Congress, if, when requested, you advise that you are willing to attend the rescheduled Congress, the Congress Organising Committee will transfer the registration and guarantee the same conditions and equivalent registration entitlements (subject to reasonable modification and availability) at the rescheduled event. If, at a later date, you then choose not to attend the rescheduled Congress, the Congress Organising Committee will not be required to refund any part of the Congress registration fee.
In the event of a full cancellation of the Congress by the Congress Organising Committee, you will be entitled to a full refund of the amount of the Congress registration fee received.
The maximum liability of the World Congress on Endometriosis under these Terms and Conditions is limited to a refund of the Congress registration fee with no additional liability for travel costs, hotel costs, or any other associated costs.
Delegate cancellation – Medical
If, on medical grounds, you are unable to attend the Congress, you must cancel your in-person attendance in writing by email to wce2025@wsm.com.au. A full refund may be provided at the discretion of Congress Organising Committee, however you may be asked to provide additional details.
Insurance
Participants are strongly advised to secure appropriate travel and health insurance. Delegate registration fees do not provide any such insurance coverage. The Congress Organising Committee and the Congress Office accept no responsibility for any loss in this regard.
