Your payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date, or immediately if the booking is made within 30 days of the event. If your payment is not received within 30 days of the invoice date, or immediately if the booking is made within 30 days of the event, QSN reserves the right to cancel your booking.

paid and received by QSN in cleared funds. For bank transfers, it can take up to ten working days for funds to be cleared and with QSN.

be deemed to be inappropriate by QSN or its partners. This would result in no refund of event fees or other costs being paid.
