But on the issue of whether we have no policy: I just think that is a

they pay any money, then if something goes wrong, they will not feel angry.
we don't have a cancelation policy so logically they should not expect
anything. I'd be fine to spell this out, but I don't see much point.
Not really. Until we start giving something to the customers, we are
obliged to return money to the customer, if he ask so. You should also
remember that in DebConf we are the "strong part", so any doubts on
contracts are in favor to our attendees.
And in many countries the consumer rights are more powerful, especially
in such fields (travels, hotels, ...). And BTW part of the payment go
thru FFIS, so really we need a cancellation policy.
So we should use the simple one:
"There are no refunds in case of cancellation (exception could be
applied case by case, ask registration desk as soon as possible)."
