Refund Policy

This Refund Policy applies to all ticket sales and registrations for the AGI Global Summit Portland and related events organized by the Global Economic Alliance (GEA).

By purchasing a ticket or registering for the event, you acknowledge and agree to this policy.

1. No Refund Policy

Refunds will NOT be provided for:

• Inability to attend the event for personal, professional, or health reasons
• Schedule changes, conflicts, or time zone differences

• Event date, time, or duration
• Venue location (including changes to virtual or hybrid format)
• Speaker lineup and presentations
• Event agenda and schedule
• Session topics and content

Such modifications do not entitle you to a refund. We will make reasonable efforts to notify registered participants of significant changes.

3. Event Cancellation by GEA

If the AGI Global Summit Portland is canceled entirely by GEA (not postponed or rescheduled), registered participants will be notified via email and provided with one of the following options at GEA's sole discretion:

• Transfer to Future Event: Your registration may be transferred to a rescheduled or future GEA event
• Event Credit: You may receive credit toward registration for another GEA event within 12 months

• Rental cars, parking fees, or ground transportation
• Meals, entertainment, or incidental expenses
• Time off work or lost wages
• Childcare or dependent care arrangements
• Non-refundable reservations or commitments

4. Ticket Transfers

Standard Policy: Tickets are non-transferable and may not be resold, exchanged, or transferred to another person without prior written approval from GEA.

Transfer Request Process: If you are unable to attend and wish to transfer your ticket to a colleague or substitute attendee, you must:

• Submit a transfer request to info@agiglobalsummit.org at least 14 days before the event
• Provide full details of both the original registrant and the substitute attendee
• Receive written confirmation from GEA approving the transfer

Transfer requests are subject to approval and may be denied for any reason. A transfer fee may apply. Unauthorized transfers will result in denied entry to the event.

5. Force Majeure

GEA shall not be liable for failure to perform or delays in performance due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to:

• Acts of God (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, wildfires, severe weather)
• Pandemics, epidemics, or public health emergencies
• War, terrorism, civil unrest, or government action
• Labor disputes, strikes, or union actions
• Utility failures, internet outages, or telecommunications disruptions
• Venue unavailability or closure
• Government-mandated restrictions or prohibitions on gatherings
• Transportation disruptions or travel bans

In the event of force majeure, GEA may postpone, reschedule, or cancel the event without liability for refunds or damages.

6. Fraudulent or Disputed Charges

If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your credit card company or financial institution:

• Your registration will be immediately canceled
• You will be denied entry to the event
• You may be prohibited from registering for future GEA events
• GEA reserves the right to pursue collection and legal action

If you believe there is an error with your charge, please contact us at info@agiglobalsummit.org before initiating a dispute.

7. Group Registrations

Group or bulk ticket purchases are subject to the same no-refund policy. Cancellation of individual tickets within a group registration does not entitle you to a partial refund.

For group-specific questions or transfer requests, contact info@agiglobalsummit.org.

8. Promotional Codes and Discounts

If you register using a promotional code, discount, or complimentary ticket:

• The same no-refund policy applies
• Discounts cannot be retroactively applied to existing registrations
• Promotional codes cannot be combined unless explicitly stated
• GEA reserves the right to revoke fraudulent or unauthorized promotional codes

9. Technical or Registration Errors

If you encounter technical issues during registration or believe an error occurred:

• Contact us immediately at info@agiglobalsummit.org
• Provide your registration confirmation number and details of the issue
• We will investigate and work to resolve legitimate technical errors

However, user errors (e.g., entering incorrect information, purchasing wrong ticket type, duplicate purchases) do not qualify for refunds.

10. Special Circumstances

In rare and exceptional circumstances, GEA may consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis, such as:

• Serious medical emergencies (documentation required)
• Death of the registrant or immediate family member (documentation required)
• Military deployment or emergency service obligations (documentation required)

Such requests must be submitted in writing to info@agiglobalsummit.org with supporting documentation. GEA reserves the right to approve or deny any request at its sole discretion.

Important: Approval of a refund request in special circumstances does not create a precedent or obligation for future requests.

11. Limitations of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GEA's total liability for any refund, if granted, shall be limited to the registration fee paid. GEA shall not be liable for:

• Consequential, incidental, or indirect damages
• Lost profits, revenue, or business opportunities
• Travel, accommodation, or related expenses
• Emotional distress or inconvenience

12. Governing Law

This Refund Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in accordance with our Terms of Use.

13. Changes to This Policy

GEA reserves the right to modify this Refund Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. Your purchase of a ticket after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
