A. General Terms
The APRICOT 2025 Summit is an in-person event with an on-line component; the in-person sessions will be held at the Avanté Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
By registering to attend the Summit, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and the APRICOT Code of Conduct. These Terms and Conditions may be amended at any time by being published on the Summit website. By attending the Summit after such publication, you agree to the Terms and Conditions as amended.
You acknowledge, understand, and agree that attendance at the Summit will be subject at all times to the Code of Conduct and that should you breach the Code of Conduct, the Organisers reserve the right to exclude you from the Summit, including but not limited to any chat functions or other forms of communications. The Organisers reserve their right to exclude any person from the Summit at their discretion. You acknowledge and agree that you will not be entitled to a refund of any registration fees or any loss or damage resulting from your exclusion from the Summit.
