Events

The following Terms apply to guests/attendees/delegates that book CGA events, training, workshops, professional development, and conferences.

• Tickets:

Members acknowledge that for some Events there is limited ticketing for each Members’ Event and that the CGA reserves the right to determine how many guest tickets will be allocated for each Member, for each Members’ Event.

If the Event is ticketed, only official Members’ Events tickets will be accepted for entry into any Members’ Events. CGA will not accept photocopies and may refuse to accept tickets that have been defaced or otherwise damaged.

• Behaviour:

While present at a Members’ Event, Members agree to act safely and in accordance with all requirements and directions of the CGA, its authorised representatives or relevant authorities.
CGA and its accredited, appointed caterers follow guidelines for the responsible service of alcohol. Staff members are instructed not to serve any alcoholic beverages to guests under the age of 18 years, or to guests who are reasonably believed to be in a state of intoxication. Intoxicated Members’ or their guests may be asked to leave and must do so immediately, where they are reasonably believed to be in a state of intoxication.

• Marketing & Promotions:

Members (and guests of Members) acknowledge and agree that attending an Event may include the taking of promotional photographs and videos. Members (and guests of Members) agree that by attending a Members’ Event, CGA may use all photographs and videos without restriction and without further recourse to the Member (or guest of a Member) in its advertising and promotional materials and official communications, forever and in any media whatsoever.

Members (and any guest of a Member) must not take or make any video recordings, films, still pictures, photographs or any other images within a Members’ Event, nor use, publish or distribute any images for profit, gain, public advertisement, display or for any other purpose except for the private enjoyment of the person taking or making the images.

• Payment:

All event bookings must be accompanied by full payment in the form of a cheque, completion of the credit card details on the relevant booking form, or as provided to the CGA over the phone at the time of booking. CGA will only confirm bookings once full payment from the member is received and funds have cleared. Where payment has not been made by the time of the event the full booking cost will remain due.

• Non-Attendance:

If you are unable to attend you may send a substitute at no extra cost, provided that you notify us of the change at least 24 hours prior to the event. If you fail to notify us of the change we will charge for an additional place. In the event of non-attendance and non-substitution you will be liable for the full cost of the ticket.

• Cancellation:

If cancellation is made up to 7 business days prior to the event a full refund of the booking cost will be issued. If cancellation is made less than 7 business days prior to the event 100% of the booking cost will apply. If the event is cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control, the full cost of the ticket will be refunded. However, CGA will not be liable for any other costs incurred by attendees.

Shipping and Delivery

We deliver merchandise/products using standard Australia Post. Shipping costs are influenced by the size and weight of the product and your location. Shipping costs are added to the order total before checkout. Orders are dispatched within 5 business days. Shipping times are estimated between 5 and 15 business days, depending on your location. The CGA ships goods Australia wide and internationally.

Refunds

Please choose merchandise carefully. We do not normally give refunds if you simply change your mind or make a wrong decision.
