CRRF does not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any Communication Service, and therefore, it specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the Communication Services and any actions resulting from your participation in any Communication Service. Managers and hosts are not authorized CRRF spokespersons, and their views do not necessarily reflect those of CRRF.

Materials uploaded to a Communication Service may be subject to posted limitations on usage, reproduction and/or dissemination. You are responsible for adhering to such limitations if you download the materials.

ONLINE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS

All payments to CRRF using online credit card facilities are subject to the following conditions:

If you are registering for a paid event as an event invitee, we may request payment information to conclude the transaction as well as your mailing address or other contact information to ensure authentification and proper delivery. We use industry-standard secure socket layer (SSL) encryption. We do not sell or rent your personal financial information.
When you engage in an e-commerce transaction on our site using a credit card, your credit card information, including the number and expiration date and your billing address, is passed on to the merchant processor (Moneris) with whom the transaction was placed; only Cvent and the merchant processor with whom you placed the order have access to your credit card information. Your credit card information is stored with each order in the Cvent system just long enough to fully process your transaction. After the transaction has been completed, your credit card information is removed from our system for security reasons.
You can decline to provide credit card information and any other information through our site at any time. If you should choose to withhold requested information, we will not be able to process your transaction.
The Cvent registration site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of information under its control. Cvent protects secure data with industry-standard firewall and password protection systems. It periodically reviews and improves its security and privacy policies as necessary. Cvent only allows pre-authorized individuals access to its servers and to information provided through online registration.
To cancel or update your registration, follow the instructions in your confirmation email or go back to the registration link (when it becomes live) to make changes to your registration as well as to any other guests or attendees you registered under your main registration.

Please note that no data transmission over the Internet is infallible. Any information you transmit through CRRF’s site is done at your own risk. Once your information is received, CRRF will take every reasonable precaution to ensure its security on CRRF’s systems.

When you complete the online payment form, funds will be deducted from your credit card in the currency specified. Payments are debited to the Canadian Race Relations Foundation.

If your payment fails, please use one of the other payment methods described on CRRF Website. You may arrange an alternative payment method promptly to ensure access to CRRF’s services.

CRRF’s terms and conditions for online credit card payments are subject to change at any time.
