Terms and Conditions for Event Bookings

Thank you for booking a place at a British Dyslexia Association event, conference or webinar and supporting our work to create a world where people with dyslexia can flourish.

Booking online, over the phone or in-person for a British Dyslexia Association (BDA) physical or online event, conference or webinar (Event) indicates acceptance of these booking terms and conditions.

A Booking and payment

1. By booking you are registering yourself, or others, as paying delegates or attendees for a BDA Event.
2. Individual and Organisational members of the BDA enjoy discounts on places at some events. However, membership discounts can only be applied if the delegates are members at the time of booking and at the time of the event. Membership discounts can’t be applied retrospectively to bookings. If you’re not sure whether you’re a BDA member please contact membership@bdadyslexia.org.uk
3. Some events allow payment by invoice. Payment must be made within 30 days of the invoice date or by the date of the event, whichever is sooner. Your place is not confirmed until payment has been received.

B Transfer of booking and cancellation

1. If you are unable to attend, a substitute delegate is always welcome if they meet the criteria for the intended audience. Please email events@bdadyslexia.org.uk to let us know if you’d like to do this.
2. Individual members of the BDA may only use discounted event places for themselves. If they are unable to attend, they may only transfer that place to a non-member on the agreement to pay the remaining balance for a place at the full fee.
   
3. All cancellations must be made in writing to events@bdadyslexia.org.uk.
   1. You are entitled to a 75% refund if BDA is notified more that 2 months prior to the event.
   2. 50% if notified 1 month prior to the event.
   3. 25% if notified 7 days prior to the event.
