It may be necessary for Shropshire Chamber to change the content, date or timing of an event or training course, the trainer, or the venue. In this event a full refund will be made unless the delegate transfers his/her/their booking to an alternative date. The liability shall be limited to the fee paid with no allowance for consequential loss whatsoever.
