Refund & Cancellation Policy

Effective Date: October 20, 2026

Last Updated: October 20, 2026

The American Black Chiropractic Association (ABCA) strives to deliver high value through our membership benefits, annual conventions, educational webinars, and organizational events. This policy outlines our terms regarding refund requests and cancellations for membership dues and event registrations.

1. Membership Dues Refund Policy

Annual & Recurring Dues

  • All membership dues are non-refundable once payment has been processed. Membership benefits become accessible immediately upon payment approval.

  • Duplicate or Overpayments: In the event of an accidental duplicate payment or billing calculation error, a full refund will be issued if reported to ABCA within 30 days of the transaction date.

  • Membership Auto-Draft: If your membership is set to auto-draft, you may cancel automatic billing at any time prior to your draft date through your member portal or by contacting info@abcachiro.com. Refunds will not be issued for recurring dues once charged if cancellation notice was not provided prior to the draft date.

  • Transfers: Memberships are non-transferable to other individuals or entities.

2. Event Registration Refund Policy

ABCA hosts an annual convention, regional conferences, webinars, and special events. Refund eligibility for event registrations depends on when the written request is received prior to the event start date.

General Cancellation Terms

  • More than 60 Days Prior: Requests received in writing 60 calendar days or more prior to the start of the event will receive a 100% refund, minus a $50 administrative processing fee (or 10% of registration fees under $100).

  • 30 to 59 Days Prior: Requests received in writing 30 to 59 calendar days prior to the event will receive a 50% refund.

  • Fewer than 30 Days Prior: Registration fees are non-refundable for cancellations requested less than 30 calendar days before the event, or for non-attendance ("no-shows").

Registration Transfers / Substitution

If you are unable to attend an event for which you registered, you may request to transfer your registration to another eligible member or individual:

  • Transfer requests must be submitted in writing at least 5 business days prior to the start of the event.

  • Any difference in registration rate (e.g., Member vs. Non-Member rates) must be paid at the time of transfer.

Event Cancellation or Modification by ABCA

  • If ABCA cancels an event due to low enrollment, force majeure, or unforeseen circumstances, registered participants will be offered a full 100% refund of registration fees paid, or the option to credit the fee toward a future event.

  • ABCA is not responsible for reimbursement of personal travel expenses, hotel accommodations, or incidental costs incurred by attendees.

3. How to Request a Refund

All refund and cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via email or postal mail. Phone requests will not be accepted.
