Privacy Policy
Customer personal information is used for our legitimate business purposes, to process and respond to inquiries, provide our services, manage our relationship with editors, authors, institutional clients, service providers, and other business contacts, market our services, and manage subscriptions. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
Relationship
We operate a Customer Association Management and email list program to inform customers and other contacts about our services, including publications and events. Such marketing messages may contain tracking technologies to monitor subscriber engagement, demographics, and other data, and to build subscriber profiles.
Disclaimer
All editorial matter published on this website represents the opinions of the authors and not necessarily those of the Publisher or the publications. Statements and opinions expressed do not represent the official policies of the relevant associations unless explicitly stated. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the material on this website. However, some errors may occur.
Responsibility
Delegates are personally responsible for their belongings at the venue. The Organizers will not be held accountable for any stolen or missing items belonging to Delegates, Speakers, or Attendees, for any reason whatsoever.
Insurance
Registration fees do not include insurance of any kind.
Press and Media
Press permission must be obtained from the Researchminds Award Organizing Committee before the event. The press will not quote speakers or delegates unless they have obtained their approval in writing. This Award is not associated with any commercial meeting company.
Transportation
Please note that all traffic and parking responsibilities lie with the registrant.
Requesting an Invitation Letter
For security purposes, the letter of invitation will be sent only to individuals who have registered for the Award. Once your registration is complete, please contact contact@globalresearchawards.com to request a personalized letter of invitation.
Cancellation Policy
If Researchminds cancels this event for any reason, you will receive a credit for 100% of the registration fee paid. This credit can be applied to another Researchminds event within one year from the cancellation date.
Postponement Policy
If Researchminds postpones an event and you are unable to attend on rescheduled dates, you will receive a credit for 100% of the registration fee paid. This credit can be applied to another Researchminds event within one year from the postponement date.
Transfer of Registration
All fully paid registrations are transferable to other persons from the same organization if the registered person is unable to attend the event. Transfers must be made in writing to contact@globalresearchawards.com. Details must include the full name of the alternative person, their title, contact phone number, and email address. Registration can also be transferred from one Researchminds Award to another if attendance at the original event is not possible. However, registration cannot be transferred if notification occurs within 14 days of the event. Transferred registrations are not eligible for refunds.
Visa Information
Given increased security measures, all participants are advised to apply for a visa as soon as possible. Researchminds will not directly contact embassies or consulates on behalf of visa applicants. Delegates or invitees should apply for a Business Visa only. Important note for failed visa applications: Visa issues are not covered under the cancellation policy, including the inability to obtain a visa.
Refund Policy
All bank charges related to refunds will be borne by the registrant. Cancellations or modifications of registration must be made in writing to contact@globalresearchawards.com.
If the registrant is unable to attend and cannot transfer participation to another person or event, the following refund arrangements apply:
- Before 60 days of the Award: Full refund less a $100 service fee.
- Within 60-30 days of the Award: 50% refund of payment.
- Within 30 days of the Award: No refund.

Accommodation Cancellation Policy
Accommodation providers such as hotels have their own cancellation policies, generally applying when cancellations are made less than 30 days before arrival. Please contact us as soon as possible if you wish to cancel or amend your accommodation.
