  • All registered delegates and presenting authors will receive a 100% full refund of their registration fee within 7 business days.
  • Alternatively, delegates may choose to carry forward their registration pass to the subsequent edition with an additional 15% credit voucher.

3. Author & Delegate Cancellation Schedule

If an author or attendee must withdraw their registration, refunds are processed according to the following timeline:

Greater than 30 Days Prior (Before 18 Nov 2026) Early cancellation window
100% Refund (less 5% bank charge)

4. Delegate Substitution Policy (Free of Charge)

If a presenting author or registered attendee is unable to join the live virtual broadcast, they may nominate a co-author or institutional colleague to present in their place at zero additional administrative cost.

Substitution notices must be submitted via email to conferences@scholarvault.in at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled presentation slot.

5. Refund Claim Process

To initiate a refund request, send an email to the Conference Secretariat containing:

  • Full delegate name and registered email address.
