General Refund Position

IIPLA’s published refund policy states that transactions are generally non-refundable and asks customers to review the applicable service details, terms, and conditions before completing a purchase.

The official policy organizes refund and cancellation rules separately for event registrations, memberships, IP filing services, and courses.

Events and Memberships

For events, the policy says registration payments are non-refundable. It also provides event-specific alternatives such as ticket transfer to a colleague, postponement to a future IIPLA event if requested in time, and event credit in the case of organizer cancellation or postponement.

The policy also states that visa-denial cases may receive future-event credit if proof is submitted within the policy window. For memberships, the published rule is that fees are non-refundable, subject to limited exceptions such as demonstrable payment errors and any jurisdiction-specific legal rights, including qualifying statutory cancellation rights where applicable.

  • Ticket transfers must be requested within the policy window before the event.
  • Organizer cancellation or postponement results in event credit rather than a cash refund under the published policy.
  • Membership cancellation stops renewal, but benefits continue through the current billing period unless law requires otherwise.

IP Filing Services and Courses

IIPLA’s refund policy states that IP filing service payments become non-refundable once work has started because the work is specialized and time-sensitive. Clients remain responsible for completed work if they cancel after commencement, and amendments or additional filing requests may create new charges.

For course purchases, the published policy states that course fees are non-refundable once purchased. It also explains that missed classes or unused access time do not create a refund right, and access extensions are only considered in exceptional cases.
