Please read these terms and conditions (these “T&Cs” or “Agreement”) carefully as they govern the relationship between Go Far Together Limited d/b/a Black Women in Asset Management, a company limited by shares registered under company number 14337117, with registered office at 71-75 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9JQ (“BWAM” or “we”), and the person, firm, company or other entity specified on your booking or registration form (“you” or “your”) for attendee / delegate registrations for the events specified on your booking form (“Event”).  By registering to attend the Event (“your registration”), you are agreeing to be legally bound by these T&Cs.  If you do not accept these T&Cs, do not register for the Event. These T&Cs are not subject to negotiation or one-off amendment.

2.      Registration Confirmation

a.       Your registration (whether submitted directly by you or on your behalf) is an offer to BWAM to attend an Event which is subject to BWAM's acceptance in writing (which may include (without limitation) email. A binding contract between BWAM and you will only be formed when written confirmation of acceptance (“Confirmation” or “Confirmed”) is sent by BWAM to you (whether or not it is received) using the contact details you provided at the time of registration.

b.       You should contact BWAM if you have not received Confirmation within 5 days of your registration, but in any event if Confirmation is not sent within 14 days of BWAM receiving your registration, your registration will be deemed to be accepted unless BWAM notifies you otherwise. BWAM reserves the right in its sole discretion to refuse to accept your registration.

3.      Event Fee and Payment Terms:

a.       You will pay BWAM the fees (if any) specified in your booking form for the Event (“your fees”). Payment in full must be made to BWAM in accordance with the BWAM’s payment terms from time to time but in any event no later than 24 hours before the Event. Payments can be made by credit card or by wire transfer. If payment of your fees in full is not received before the Event, BWAM may (at its sole discretion) either require such payment as a condition of your access to the Event or refuse or block your access to the Event (whether physical or virtual). No refunds of any proportion of your fees already paid (if any) will be made and any balance of your fees will remain due and payable where access to an Event is refused under this Condition 2.a.

b.       Prices for each Event are correct at the time of publication. BWAM reserves the right to change the prices at any time but changes will not affect registrations which have already been confirmed by BWAM.

c.       All discounts can only be applied at the time of registration and discounts cannot be combined. All discounts are subject to BWAM's approval.

d.       Where applicable your fees will be subject to local sales, VAT, service or withholding taxes (“Taxes”).

e.       The Event fee entitles you to attend all non-restricted Event sessions. Note that some certain sessions and receptions may be invite-only or restricted to a particular type of delegate. 

4.      Delegate Cancellation and Non-Attendance:

a.       Except as may be otherwise expressly advised as part of the particular Event’s registration process, you may cancel your registration in accordance with this Condition 4.

b.       All cancellations must be made in writing (by letter or email – proof of receipt will be required) to events@bwam.network. Except as otherwise expressly stated on your booking form, you will receive a refund of your fees paid to BWAM (if any) if you cancel your registration 30 days or more before the Event, subject to an administration charge equivalent to 10% of the total amount of your fees plus Taxes (if applicable).

c.       BWAM regrets that the full amount of your fee remains payable in the event that your cancellation is 30 days or less before the Event or if you fail to attend the Event. If a cancellation changes the entitlement to a multi-registration discount, the lowest value registration will be cancelled first. No cancellations are accepted once any part of a single or multi registration party has accessed the pre-Event networking or partnering facilities, applications or platforms.

d.       You acknowledge that the refund of your fees in accordance with Condition 4 is your sole remedy in respect of any cancellation of your registration by you and all other liability is expressly excluded.

e.       Please also note that you can substitute another person instead of cancelling (see below); provided, if you do not advise BWAM that you are cancelling your delegate place(s) or that you are substituting another person or people in your place(s) then you remain liable for your fees. Non-attendance at the Event does not waive your liability to pay your fees and BWAM reserves the right to use all necessary means to receive payment from you, including the issuance of legal proceedings. For more information regarding refund, complaint and/or program cancellation policies, please contact events@bwam.network.

f.        Substitutions may be arranged as long as BWAM is notified in writing in advance of the Event. Under no circumstances can a delegate registration be shared. You may not purchase registrations as agent for any third party, sell or otherwise transfer your registration to others, or exploit the registration commercially or non-commercially in any way.

5.      Travel and Accommodation:

a.       BWAM is not accountable for booking any transportation or accommodation required by you nor for any transfers to and from the event venue. Although BWAM may work with a hotel to secure a preferential delegate rate for those attending the Event, BWAM makes no assurances as to the availability of this rate nor of the hotel services offered. BWAM will not accept liability for any public or individual transport disruption or deferral. In such circumstances, BWAM’s standard cancellation policy applies.
