6. If, for reasons beyond SMI’s control, it is necessary to cancel or postpone the event or change it to another date or venue, the fee paid will be held as a credit for the delegate’s attendance at future SMI events of his choosing and a credit note to this effect, valid for one year only from date of issue, will be dispatched to them.
