Cancellation Policy

SINTER Cancellations

We understand that life happens and sometimes the best-laid plans go astray. If you need to cancel your attendance at SINTER:

  • Full refund (less a $50 processing fee) if you cancel before March 15, 2026 (60 days prior to SINTER).
  • SINTER registrations are not transferable.
  • Membership fees are non-refundable.
  • No refunds will be issued for SINTER cancellations made on or after March 16, 2026.

Pre- and Post-SINTER Workshop Cancellations
Pre- and Post-SINTER Workshops are non-refundable, but may be transferred:

  • Workshop registrants may sell or gift their workshop to another individual.
  • Both the original and new registrants must notify AMCAW immediately of the transfer.
  • The sale and any transfer of payment for the workshop registration is solely the responsibility of the workshop registrants.
  • The new registrant must be an AMCAW member in good standing, or become a member, at the time of the transfer.
  • The new registrant must also hold a valid ticket to SINTER. No workshop tickets will be issued to anyone who does not also have a ticket to attend SINTER.

If a workshop does not meet the minimum attendance requirement at least 90 days (February 13, 2026) prior to the start of SINTER, AMCAW will contact the attendee to either:

  • Apply the payment to another workshop with space available.
  • Refund the payment in full to the registrant.

Reschedule or Cancellation by AMCAW

If SINTER and/or the pre- and post-SINTER workshops are canceled entirely due to any unforeseen circumstances, AMCAW has the sole and absolute right to:

  • reschedule the event, or
  • issue a partial/full refund.

These factors will be inclusive of, but not limited to, causes beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, epidemics, pandemics, government restrictions, civil unrest within a five-mile radius of the venue, or Centers for Disease Control Level 3 travel advisories for the event location make it illegal, impossible, or commercially impracticable for the SINTER event to be held.

Please note, the decision of AMCAW will be considered final and binding.

If AMCAW must reschedule the event for any reason, all SINTER and pre-/post-SINTER workshop registrations will be transferred to the new date. Registrants may request a refund, less a $25 processing fee per item, in writing within 60 days of the reschedule announcement.

If AMCAW must cancel the event for any reason, all payments will be refunded to the registrant within 120 days of the cancellation announcement.
