Egypt StudyUSA Fairs Refund Policy
If StudyUSA fairs are cancelled by AMIDEAST or for reasons beyond exhibitor control, we will refund registration fees. AMIDEAST generally follows U.S. Embassy guidance regarding local conditions that may effect events, which is received on an ongoing basis. We may also choose to take a more conservative approach if we believe the quality of the fair may be significantly compromised for any reason. We are proud to note that we have not to date cancelled any of our fairs or received any requests for refunds based on dissatisfaction with these events.
We generally cannot issue refunds of registration fees to exhibitors who choose to cancel after our July 18 registration deadline.
