Refund Policies

  • MOS reserves the right to cancel the convention due to unforeseen circumstances, to include a new surge in COVID-19. If that occurs, MOS will refund all registration costs to attendees, including meal costs and donations.
  • If an attendee cancels before the end of the registration period, MOS will refund all registration costs to attendees, including meal costs and donations.
  • If an attendee cancels after registration closes, MOS will refund the attendee’s registration fee and donation, but not the meal costs because MOS included them in the headcount and are thus liable for that cost. 
  • If that attendee became a member of MOS for this convention and cancels, they will be given the option to receive a partial registration fee refund and remain a member, or have their full registration fee, meal costs and donation refunded consistent with the pre- or post-registration cancelation policies above.
  • All refunds will be consistent with the refund policies. You may request a refund by contacting the MOS webmaster at webmaster@mdbirds.org.
