Terms &
Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By registering for MRX Africa 2026, submitting an abstract, or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, do not proceed with registration or submission.

2. Conference Registration

Registration for MRX Africa 2026 constitutes a contract between the delegate and Epsilon Reliability Solutions Limited / TMI Africa. All registrations are subject to availability. Confirmation of registration is provided by email following successful payment.

• Registration fees are quoted in Naira (NGN) and USD. Naira prices apply to Nigerian bank transactions; USD prices apply to international card payments.
• Prices are subject to the applicable tier at the time of registration — once registered, your tier price is locked.
• Group discount rates apply to bookings of 5 or more delegates made under a single invoice. Individual registrations cannot be retrospectively combined for group pricing.
• Delegate passes are personal and non-transferable except as provided in Section 4 (Substitution).

3. Cancellation & Refunds

Written cancellation requests must be sent to programs@tmiafrica.org. The following refund policy applies:

• 30+ days before the event (before 19 October 2026): Full refund minus ₦5,000 / $5 administration fee
• 15–29 days before the event: 50% refund
• Less than 14 days before the event: No refund, but delegate substitution is permitted at no charge
• Refunds are processed within 14 working days of approval via the original payment method

TMI Africa reserves the right to cancel or postpone the conference due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control (force majeure). In such cases, registered delegates will receive a full refund or credit towards a future event.

4. Delegate Substitution

A registered delegate may be substituted by a colleague from the same organisation at no charge, provided written notice is given to programs@tmiafrica.org at any time before the conference commences. The substituting delegate inherits all benefits of the original registration.

5. Programme Changes

TMI Africa and ASMRA reserve the right to change the conference programme, speakers, session times, and venue arrangements. Every effort will be made to maintain the advertised programme. No refund will be issued solely on account of programme changes that do not materially alter the nature of the conference.

6. Call for Papers

• Abstract submissions are reviewed by the MRX Africa 2026 Technical Programme Committee. All decisions are final.
• Acceptance of an abstract does not guarantee publication. Full papers are subject to further review.
• By submitting a paper, the author grants TMI Africa and ASMRA a non-exclusive licence to publish the paper in the official MRX Africa 2026 Conference Proceedings in print and digital form.
• Authors retain copyright of their work. Published papers will credit the author(s) and their organisation.
• All accepted presenters must register as delegates. Failure to register by 1 October 2026 may result in removal from the programme.
• Submissions must be original work not previously published or under consideration elsewhere.

7. Photography & Intellectual Property

Conference sessions may be photographed, filmed, and audio-recorded by TMI Africa / ASMRA for use in marketing, documentation, and post-event publications. Attendees consent to this as a condition of attendance. Speaker presentations remain the intellectual property of the presenter, subject to the publication licence granted above.

8. Delegate Conduct

Delegates are expected to behave professionally and respectfully at all times. TMI Africa reserves the right to remove any delegate whose conduct is deemed inappropriate, disruptive, or harmful to other attendees, without refund.

9. Liability

TMI Africa and ASMRA shall not be liable for any loss, damage, personal injury, or expense suffered by delegates in connection with attendance at MRX Africa 2026, except where caused by our direct negligence. Delegates are responsible for their own travel insurance, health coverage, and personal belongings. The organisers are not responsible for visa refusals or travel disruptions.

10. Sponsorship

Sponsorship contracts are governed by separate sponsorship agreements issued by TMI Africa. These Terms apply to the extent not superseded by the sponsorship agreement. Sponsorship fees are non-refundable once the conference programme has been published, except in cases of organisational default.
