General Terms and Conditions (GTC) for event registrations

In the case of a binding registration for an event, you agree to have read the following terms and conditions and agree to them. These terms and conditions are an integral part of the contract. Amendments must be in writing.

Changes or cancellation of the event
The organizer reserves the right to change speakers by others and make necessary changes to the program while maintaining the overall character of the event, as well as changing date and place of the event for extraordinary reason, or cancel the event. Should it not possible to hold the event due to force majeure or due to a low number of participants, the registered participants will be informed immediately. In this case, or if no suitable alternative date can be found at date changes, the affected registrations will be canceled and already paid fees will be refunded. Other claims such as compensation for travel and accommodation expenses or work loss are excluded, unless they are based on intentional or grossly negligent behavior of employees of the organizer or other agents.
 

Photographs, film and sound recordings
During the event photographs, film and sound recordings can be made by the organizer without requiring the consent of the participant. These can be used by the organizer or the event partners to document the event on their websites and in press publications.

Prevention of copyright infringement
To avoid copyright infringements, it is prohibited especially during presentations, lectures, seminars and poster sessions to make photographic images, video or audio recordings without the explicit permission of the organizer. In case of violation, the organizer reserves the right to exclude the affected participants of the event immediately and without rights for refund of the registration fee. The conference material is protected by copyright. Copying, dissemination or other use is prohibited without the written consent of the organizer and the respective author.

Disclaimer
The organizers and the agents authorized by them do not assume any liability for personal injury, property damage or other damages not listed here that are caused by registration for or participating in this event, provided that they are not grossly negligent. For substantive inaccuracy of lectures, presentations and documentation no liability is accepted by the organizer.

Ineffectiveness of individual provisions
The invalidity of individual provisions of the contract does not affect the validity of the remaining contractual provisions. In this case, the parties have to replace the invalid provision by such a scheme with which the economic purpose intended by the parties can most likely be achieved.
