Cancellation policy

The Group Export Agri-Food is a non profit organization who manages export financial programs from the ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation du Québec and from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

As an administrator of government programs, Group Export had to implement a cancellation policy which applies for trade show participation. Policy’s details are as follows:

When a participation or registration form is completed by a representative of a company, this company becomes liable to the Group 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 either be paid by check, direct deposit or credit card by contacting the Group 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, Group Export Agri-Food has the right to cancel the company’s participation.
• When a company is cancelling its participation:
  • If the company or Group Export Agri-Food finds a replacing participant, the full amount will be reimbursed, except for a $200 administration fee, as soon as the 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 cancellations must be made in writing and be addressed to the person in charge of the trade show, whose name appears on the registration form.
