Event Cancellation Due to COVID-19

a. GrainGrowers may, in its absolute discretion, decide to cancel Innovation Generation if any of the following occur:

  1. the New South Wales border is closed;
  2. the New South Wales Government imposes a restriction limiting the number of people that can be within a room of a particular size, such that it is not practical (in GrainGrower’s absolute discretion) to proceed with Innovation Generation; or
  3. the borders of another state are closed and that closure has a significant impact on the number of attendees or event staff that are able to attend the Event, at a time before Innovation Generation which GrainGrowers considers, in its absolute discretion, is close enough to Innovation Generation time that the occurrence may affect Innovation Generation (regardless of whether or not it is known whether the occurrence will still be in place on the day of Innovation Generation).

b. If Innovation Generation is cancelled for a reason set out in clause 1(a), regardless of when such cancellation occurs relative to the date of Innovation Generation, GrainGrowers will refund in full the ticket price paid by delegates.

c. A refund may take 10 business days to process.

d. This clause will not apply if Innovation Generation is cancelled for any other reason.
