In the case you want to cancel the class for which you have already paid a registration fee, you can only reschedule it by selecting a different date and time from the manage meetings section of the class. You can reschedule your registration for an Interfima Learning Class at least ten business days before the scheduled start date of the Class. Refunds are not eligible after the end of the class.

In cases where Interfima is required to charge Taxes, Interfima will issue an invoice complying with the relevant tax invoicing regulations applicable at that time.
If any deduction or withholding is required by law, you will notify us and will pay us any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that we receive, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount we would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way arising from this Expert Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.

The governing law of this arbitration agreement shall be English law or by the parties’ express choice of governing law upon notification. To begin an arbitration proceeding, the expert must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Interfima. The arbitration will be conducted under the rules of International Arbitration. Payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. We will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. The parties may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or at a mutually agreed location. Interfima and the expert agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a Session, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration Interfima and the expert waive any right to a jury trial. Interfima and the expert both agree that the expert or Interfima may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
