Terms and Conditions

By booking onto an event or training programme via the IoIC website you are entering into a formal contract with the IoIC and accepting the following the terms and conditions. Please carefully note our terms and conditions, particularly regarding cancellations (see below). If you have booked in error, or if this booking was not made by you, please let us know within 24 hours of booking.

Please note that payment must be made in full at least two working days in advance of an online course or event and at least five working days in advance of a live (face-to-face) course and at least 14 working days in advance of a face-to-face event, with the exception of network Hubs, which can be paid for as long as the Hub is open for registration (usually the day before the Hub).

All those attending must be registered under the correct ticket/price for the person attending.

If your organisation operates a purchase order system, the purchase order number must be provided at the time of booking. 

If you wish to pay via credit card after you have made a booking, a link to pay can be found by logging into the website, then going to 'My account' and 'Invoice history.' If someone else needs to pay on your behalf, you can send them the 'pay online' link, they will not need to be logged into the website/hold a website account to make a payment.
