Terms & Conditions (including payments, refunds, prizes)

(additional Terms can be found on the New York Skål Club Web Site)

MODIFICATION OF TERMS
We reserve the right to update, modify, or replace any part of these terms at our sole discretion, at any time and without prior notice. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically for changes. Your continued access to or use of the site following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

REGISTRATION
Congresses offer three price levels based on the lead time up to the Congress dates

  • Early Bird: Reduced price for a set period to promote advance deposits and to help the host club manage cashflow in preparation for the Congress. This is for defined start & end dates
  • Regular Price: Prices reflect the actual congress registration fee
  • Late Price: This is a final adjustment for late registrations usually impacted by hotel room block cut-off price changes or third-party congress program late fees that must be manually handled.

 PAYMENTS

DEPOSITS for Individuals or groups
Deposits can be made at any time up to the end of the REGULAR PRICE period. Deposits can be made for oneself, couples, 2 delegates (split bills), or group deposits for up to 20 people.

TRANSFERS OF REGISTRATION / DEPOSITS
Deposits can be transferred to other delegates without penalty up to the end of the REGULAR PRICE period. Transfers during the LATE PRICE period will be subject to a $50 administration charge.

 PRICES

  • EARLY BIRD: Guarantees the lowest price if the balance is paid by the stated cut-off date.
  • REGULAR PRICE: Payments made by the stated start date are charged the regular price if the balance is paid by the stated cut-off date.
  • LATE PRICE: Full payment is required at the time of registration from this date forward
  • LATE PAYMENTS: Any late payments (full or partial) trigger the final price based on the latest congress pricing at the time of payment. i.e., if you made an Early Bird deposit but only paid the balance at the Late Price period, your balance is calculated from this latest congress price.
  • DELINQUENT ACCOUNT: Any balance of registration fees not paid in full at least 14 days prior to the congress will be subject to a $50 administration fee for collection.
  • DISPUTES: The recorded transaction dates are the final determination in resolving price matters

PROCESSING FEES
An administrative fee of 3.5% will be applied for all automated transactions. Manually processed transactions are subject to a 3.9% administrative fee.
If there is a discrepancy between the amount charged on a credit card and the amount shown on the website, prices on the website will prevail.

PRIZES
Prizes are donated or arranged with sponsors. Prizes are awarded as offered and have no cash value for redemption or resale. If a prize is donated to a Club, the Club may use the prize in a membership fundraising activity.

REFUNDS

Deposits or the equivalent portion of full payments are nonrefundable. These funds help cover all the pre-congress administration and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by a host club regardless if a congress is canceled. It is our internal insurance to protect host clubs from potentially incurring significant losses if there was an unexpected significant drop in registrants or outright cancellation of a congress.

Refunds will be issued as follows:

  • Cancellations received between March 4 – April 2, 2026 will be eligible for a 50% refund.
  • Cancellations received between April 3 – May 2, 2026 are not eligible for a refund.
  • The exception is if there is a medical situation with written documentation provided by a professional licensed caregiver.
  • Cancellation without valid reason during the LATE PERIOD will be subject to an additional $100 administration fee at the discretion of the Host Club.
  • Funds may also be withheld to pay nonrefundable payments or guarantees with vendors.
  • Refunds will not be made for any registrant who does not attend and, therefore, qualifies as a “NO SHOW.”
  • No refunds will be made for any component included in the Congress package but not used.

 

TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE
It is strongly recommended that you purchase appropriate travel insurance to protect your investment. We may offer coverage through a third-party provider for your convenience. For more information, please visit our Trip Insurance Information page. [LINK TO: http://www.nasc2026.com/insurance]
