Terms & Conditions

Registration Fees. Are as listed and considered net of any local withholding taxes applicable in your country of residence.  

Tax Deductibility. All expenses incurred to maintain or improve skills in your profession may be tax deductible, including tuition, travel, lodging, and meals. Please consult your tax advisor. 

Registration Payment Terms. Checks are payable to HCCA. Credit cards accepted: American Express, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover. HCCA will charge your credit card the correct amount should your total be miscalculated. If you wish to pay using wire transfer funds, please email helpteam@hcca-info.org for instructions. 

Due to PCI compliance, please do not provide any credit card information via email. You may email the PDF registration form (without credit card information) and call HCCA at 888.580.8373 or +1 952.988.0141 with your credit card information. 

Conference Registration/Access. Whether the conference is in person or virtual, each attendee must have their own registration. Only registered attendees are allowed to stream, participate, and earn CEUs for the conference. If a second person wishes to join, they must register themselves and have their own unique login to participate. 

With the exception of webinars. Each registration allows for one connection to the webinar. If you have multiple people in different locations participating, we suggest purchasing additional lines, or buying a copy of the session recording. Additional lines can be purchased at a discounted rate by emailing  helpteam@hcca-info.org. While HCCA will allow for virtual screen sharing within the same company, there are platform restrictions, not within our control, that may prohibit these capabilities, which is why we have offered additional lines at a discounted rate. 

Group Discount Policy. Group discounts are available when multiple people from the same organization attend the conference together. Discounts take effect the day a group reaches the discount number of registrants. Please send registration forms together to ensure that the discount is applied. A separate registration form is required for each registrant. The group discount is NOT available through online registration. Note that discounts will NOT be applied retroactively if more registrants are added at a later date, but new registrants will receive the group discount. 
 

Cancellation Policy. 

If you need to cancel your participation (or send a substitute), your request must be submitted by email to helpteam@hcca-info.org. Cancellations received less than 14 calendar days prior to an event start date are subject to a $75 cancellation fee. No refunds will be given for cancellations received on or after the start date of the event.

Alternatively, you may choose to send a substitute attendee in your place up to 2 business days prior to the event date. An additional fee may apply depending upon the membership status of the substitute.

Membership Refunds/Cancellations/Transfers. We do not offer refunds for our membership fees. If applicable you may transfer your membership to another member of your organization at no charge. A transferred membership will use the remainder of the original membership term. 
 
Memberships are owned by the individual on the account, even if the member leaves an organization or if the membership was paid for by that organization. If an employer loses membership due to a departing employee, that organization can obtain a six-month membership free of charge for an individual who does not currently have a membership. The six-month membership will not be added to an existing membership that an individual already holds.

I understand and agree that this release includes any and all claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of SCCE & HCCA, its officers, employees, agents, or representatives.

This assumption of risk and waiver applies even if the undersigned asserts that SCCE & HCCA was at fault for not taking greater precautions to manage exposure or infection from COVID-19 and other communicable diseases. I agree that this waiver and release shall bind me and my personal representatives, shall be enforceable to the fullest and broadest extent of the law, and, if any portion is held invalid, the remainder should continue in full legal force and effect.
