Is PayPal safe?

Yes. PayPal can guarantee safe transactions within their system given their sophisticated internet security infrastructure.

Online payments become unsafe ONLY when the user herself/himself is using a compromised electronic device or PayPal account to conduct such transaction. Hence, the problem is NOT with the PayPal system.

To ensure your safety, remember to check the following:

  • You are using your own electronic device with an updated version of your operating system. Avoid using public computers or devices with security settings, which are unfamiliar to you.
  • This electronic device is connected to the internet using a firewall.
  • This electronic device has an updated anti-virus and anti-malware program. Such device has also been scanned recently for infections and vulnerabilities.
  • You are using an updated web browser.


Do you have a refund policy?

No. Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds.


What if I can’t make it to the forum? Will you refund my ticket?

Unfortunately, we do not have a refund policy.

We, therefore, advise paying delegates to check and clear their schedules on the 26th of February before purchasing tickets to the Forum.

If you will be missing the event due to unforeseen circumstances, it is best to send a representative who can attend the Forum on your behalf. Email us at [email protected] for such changes before the day of the Forum to give us time to update our records and to guarantee your representative a smooth registration experience.


What should I show the event organizers to prove that I registered and paid for my slot?

You just have to show your business card at the registration booths located at the entrance of the Marriott Grand Ballroom and we will check your name/s  and we will take care of the rest.


How do I know if you’ve received my payment confirmation?

We will send an email acknowledging your email to us. Expect this confirmation within three (3) to five (5) business days.

Official Receipts, on the other hand, will be issued on the day of the Forum (September 14, 2017) at the registration area.


Will you issue an official receipt?

Official Receipts will be issued on the day of the Forum (September 14, 2017) at the registration area.

Between the date of your payment and the Forum, you will be issued an acknowledgement receipt through email.

We do not issue official receipts immediately to cut down on logistical costs and to keep our accounting department lean and efficient. We, therefore, ask for your patience on the matter.


Will you pick up the check/cash payment at our office?

No.

It is the responsibility of the delegate or the delegate’s company to deliver or post the payment to Union Bank. In other words, the logistical cost of registering to the Forum falls upon the delegate or the delegate’s company.

We simply did not specify in our registration details that we offer such pickup service.

Please understand that we our keeping the accounting department lean and efficient as they handle other accounts and responsibilities beyond the Forum.
