  &lt;div style="background-color: #f5f7f9; border-left: 4px solid #304C78; padding: 14px 16px; border-radius: 0 4px 4px 0; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 30px;"&gt;
    &lt;div style="font-size: 13.5px; color: #555555; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;
      As a nonprofit organization, IAUA makes firm financial commitments for venue space, catering services, and critical event logistics based entirely on advance registrations. Because these operational costs are non-recoverable close to the date, we are strictly unable to offer full refunds near the start of the event.
