Cancellation Policy
The Groupe Export Agri-Food is a non-profit organization that manages export financial programs from the Ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation du Québec and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
As a government program manager, Groupe Export has defined a general cancellation policy to follow when participating in a trade show. Policy’s details are as follows:
When a participation or registration form is signed by a representative of a company, this company becomes liable to the Groupe Export Agri-Food, as this form is a contract between the company and the Association.
- In the five days following registration, the company must pay, as a deposit, 50% of participation fees. This amount can be paid by check, direct deposit or credit card by contacting Groupe Export’s financial department at 450-649-6266. Direct deposits are preferred.
- The remaining 50% of participation fees must be paid at least 60 days before the activity.
- If the company does not respect these terms, Groupe Export Agri-Food has the right to cancel the company’s participation.
- When a company cancels its participation:
→ If the company or the Groupe Export Agri-Food finds a replacing participant, the full amount will be reimbursed, except for a $200 administration fee, as soon as a replacing participant has paid in full the amount due.
→ In case a substitute cannot be found, all other incurred charges, including 100% of the invoice for a space reservation, would be charged to the company.
→ All cancellation requests must be made in writing and be addressed to the person in charge of the activity, whose name appears on the participation form.
