DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

• The majority of venues accommodate standard or vegetarian cuisine. The per-person fee encompasses both food and beverages, and participants with alternative dietary requirements who choose to bring their own meals will still be charged the full rate without any discount from the venue.

• Selecting Kosher or Halaal means you accept responsibility for the additional costs, as stated in the SAISI course application form.

• Regrettably, SAISI is unable to issue refunds for meals provided by the venue that are not consumed. Please choose one of the following:

o Standard: No surcharges apply.

o Vegetarian (regular vegetarian options; excludes Halaal/Kosher): No surcharges apply.

o Kosher and Halaal: Additional costs are available upon request.

o Participants may bring own meals and snacks if they prefer not to use external Kosher or Halaal catering services.

CANCELLATION POLICY

• Courses must be cancelled at least 12 weeks before the scheduled start date. Cancellations after this period will result in forfeiture of the deposit.

• Cancellations by the course participant within one week or less before the commencement of the specific SASIC course will forfeit 100% of the SASIC course fee, unless the course participant’s place can be filled on the course, in which case the 10% deposit will be forfeited. If course participants fail to meet the pre-requisites for a particular SASIC course, such as not completing the post-course questionnaires by the specified dates or not submitting their typical and atypical cases, protocols, pre- course questionnaires, etc., it is their responsibility to cancel their course applications for the subsequent SASIC courses.

• If course participants have applied for multiple SASIC courses but were not accepted for the first- in-line SASIC course or if course participants choose to cancel the first-in-line SASIC course for any reason, they must also cancel their applications for subsequent SASIC courses before the specified deadlines. Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of their deposits or the full SASIC course fee.

ACCEPTANCE POLICY

• Each SASIC course has a maximum capacity for course participants. SAISI will not be held liable or assume responsibility for any travel and accommodation arrangements or associated fees in the event that a course participant is not accepted to attend a SASIC course.

• An insufficient number of course participant applications for a specific SASIC course may lead to its cancellation. In such cases, course participants will be duly notified. It is important to note that SAISI will not be held liable nor assume responsibility for any travel and accommodation arrangements that may need to be cancelled as a result. This policy also applies in cases where a SASIC course must be cancelled due to a natural disaster or a state of emergency.
