Last updated: September 11, 2024

Refund Policy

1. Purpose

This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which refunds may be granted for membership dues, event registrations, and other services or products offered by the Texas Division of the International Association for Identification (TDIAI).

3. Event Registration

The Texas Division of the IAI (TDIAI) has proudly served forensic science professionals in Texas for over 80 years. With the creation of the TDIAI Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity, we have expanded our ability to provide educational opportunities and advocacy for the forensic science community.

TDIAI and the TDIAI Foundation, while separate entities, partner to host events that serve the dual purpose of professional development and education. However, events held by the TDIAI Foundation are governed by the Foundation's own policies, which may differ from those of TDIAI.

The following refund policies apply to events hosted by TDIAI:

    • Cancellation by TDIAI: If TDIAI cancels an event, registrants will receive a full refund.
    • Registrant Cancellations: Cancellations must be submitted in writing at least 45 days before the event. A 10% processing fee may apply. No refunds will be granted for cancellations within 45 days of the event or for no-shows.

  • TDIAI Foundation Events: For educational seminars, workshops, and other training events hosted in partnership with TDIAI but governed by the TDIAI Foundation:

    • Foundation Policies: Refunds for events hosted by the TDIAI Foundation are governed by the Foundation’s policies. Registrants should refer to the specific event page or contact the Foundation for details on the applicable refund terms.
    • Foundation Cancellations: If the TDIAI Foundation cancels an event, registration fees maybe refunded in accordance with the Foundation’s refund policies.
