TERMS & CONDITIONS

1. Introduction

The Asia-Pacific Resuscitation Conference (APRC) is organised by the Malaysia Resuscitation Association (MyRES) in collaboration with the Penang Heart Safe Society (PHSS) (collectively referred to as the “Organiser”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). Welcome to the APRC website at www.aprc2026.penangheartsafe.org.my (the “Site”). References to the Site include all related platforms, including mobile websites and applications. By accessing, browsing, using the Site, or registering for the conference through the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue use of the Site immediately.

2. Scope of Terms

These Terms & Conditions incorporate by reference all applicable policies and guidelines available on the Site, including but not limited to the Privacy Policy, Cancellation & Attendance Policy, Refund Policy, and FAQs (collectively, the “Policies”). These Terms & Conditions and the Policies together constitute the entire agreement between you and the Organiser and supersede any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral. The Organiser reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time, and any updated version will take effect immediately upon publication on the Site.

3. Registration and Attendance

All registrations made through www.aprc2026.penangheartsafe.org.my are considered confirmed once payment has been successfully completed. Failure to attend the event without prior written notice shall be treated as a no-show, and no refund will be provided in such circumstances.

4. Cancellation & Attendance Policy

All fees paid are non-refundable. If a registered participant is unable to attend, a replacement attendee may be permitted on a case-by-case basis, provided the request is submitted in writing no later than one (1) month before the event and is subject to approval by the Organiser. All requests for attendance changes must be directed to aprc2026@penangheartsafe.org.my.

5. Refund Policy

Refunds, where applicable, are strictly subject to the conference’s Cancellation & Attendance Policy. All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing and before the stated deadline, and administrative or processing fees may apply. Approved refunds will be processed approximately one (1) month after the event. Once initiated, refunds may take between two (2) to four (4) weeks to be credited back to the original payment method due to bank and payment processor timelines. The refundable amount, if any, will depend on factors such as the time of cancellation, applicable fees, and third-party service provider policies.

6. Changes or Cancellation by the Organiser

The Organiser reserves the right to amend, reschedule, or cancel any programme, session, speaker, or component of the event at any time. While every effort will be made to avoid major changes within seventy-two (72) hours of the event, such changes may occur due to unforeseen circumstances. In the event of a major change after registration, participants will be offered the option to accept the change or cancel their registration and receive a full refund of fees paid to the Organiser. The Organiser shall not be responsible for any additional costs or expenses incurred as a result of such changes.

7. Guaranteed Registration

All registrations made through the Site are guaranteed. In the event that a confirmed registration cannot be honoured on-site due to an error attributable to the Organiser or the Site, participants must notify the Organiser immediately at aprc2026@penangheartsafe.org.my. The Organiser will arrange an appropriate event pass and bear the full cost of the registration, including any applicable taxes or service charges.

8. Payment Security

All payments are processed securely through Razorpay, a payment gateway compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Neither APRC nor Razorpay stores credit or debit card details. Payment data is encrypted and retained only for as long as necessary to complete the transaction in accordance with applicable security standards.

9. Feedback, Complaints, and Suggestions

Any complaints regarding content, reviews, or materials published on the Site must be submitted in writing to aprc2026@penangheartsafe.org.my with sufficient information to enable investigation. The Organiser reserves the right to request additional information or identity verification where necessary. Complaints relating to the event should be reported promptly to allow timely assistance.

10. Liability and Force Majeure

The Organiser does not accept responsibility for errors or omissions beyond its reasonable control. Liability is accepted only for proven acts or omissions of employees, agents, or subcontractors acting within the scope of their duties.
