Changes to course content ITHAMS’ courses are constantly updated and while we endeavour to deliver the courses as advertised there may inevitably be occasions where we have to change content without prior notice. This may involve changes to the order of the talks, to the speakers, and occasionally, even to titles of individual talks. Cancellations by ITHAMS In exceptional circumstances, ITHAMS may cancel an event. In the case of a course cancellation delegates will be offered a full refund. We will also consider any reasonable request to cover non-refundable travel arrangements if a course is cancelled within 5 days of the start day. ITHAMS will not compensate for time spent travelling or away from the place of work. Occasionally circumstances will arise which result in the need to cancel, reschedule or postpone an event, due to an unforeseen occurrence or Force Majeure. When this is the case ITHAMS shall assume no liability or responsibility for any loss, damage, injury, claims costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever. Force Majeure is defined as any unforeseen occurrence that renders performance of the event impossible, inadvisable, illegal or impracticable. Force Majeure includes, but is not limited to: casualty, fire, explosion, flood, earthquake or other natural disasters, an act of God, governmental restrictions or regulations, war or apparent acts of war, terrorism or apparent acts of terrorism, civil disturbances or riots, strikes, curtailment, suspension or restriction on transportation facilities and means of transportation or any other emergency.

ITHAMS is grateful to its sponsors for help with the course.
