DELIVERY OF OUR SERVICES

CPHR Manitoba provides visitors to our Site with access to event registrations and membership applications.

Our events are open to members and non-members of CPHR Manitoba and are subject to the applicable fees. Fees are due and payable before the event.

We do our best to deliver the events described. We make every effort to avoid canceling an event. Cancelling is only done after all other options have been exhausted, and registered guests will receive a full refund of any fees collected.

CPHR Manitoba members may also use this Site to post and participate in blogs, forums, and topical/networking groups offered through this Site.

All services now or hereafter offered by CPHR Manitoba through this Site are collectively called "Services”.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CANCELLATION, REFUND & TRANSFER POLICY

If you are unable to attend an event you have registered for, you may cancel your registration up to 14 days before the event, with full refund. Cancellations received 7-13 days prior to the event will be refunded in full less a $50 administration fee and any cancellations requested less than 7 days prior to the event will not be eligible for a refund. Registered attendees who do not cancel and do not attend the event are required to pay the full fee. All cancellation requests must be received in writing to hello@cphrmb.ca. Some exceptions may apply. Some events have their own refund policy. For refund schedule specific to each event, please see the event registration page (refund policy specific to an event will take priority over the general refund policy).

Alternatively, a substitute attendee can be sent at no additional charge (some exceptions may apply). Member/non-member rate differences will apply for substitutions. Should your alternate cancel at any time, the registration fee will be forfeited.
