General terms and conditions
1. Scope of application
The General Terms and Conditions for Event Participants regulate the legal relationship between the participant in conferences, seminars, congresses and courses as well as other events (hereinafter jointly referred to as the "Event") on the one hand and the organizer on the other hand.
In the event that a contract is passed on, it shall be incumbent upon the party passing on the contract to point out to the new holder that the GTC shall also apply vis-à-vis the new holder and any further holder. The GTC shall apply to consumers as well as to entrepreneurs, unless otherwise expressly stipulated in the GTC or mandatory statutory provisions conflict therewith. Deviating General Terms and Conditions of the Participant shall not be recognized by the Organizer and are hereby expressly rejected, unless the Organizer has agreed to their validity in writing.
By entering the areas or premises designated by the organizer for the respective event, the event participant also submits to the respective applicable house rules, which the participant will take note of independently at the event location.
At the express request of an event participant, house rules can be discussed with the organizer or persons commissioned by the organizer.
2. Participation fees and terms of payment
A possible participation fee for the event will be indicated on the registration page.
3. Cancellation and right of withdrawal
Cancellation of participation in the conference is possible up to 14 days before the event. In this case we will charge an expense allowance for catering, venue and processing fees in the amount of € 95,- per ticket. Less than 14 days before the event, we can't do any refund. Cancellation must be made in writing (email).
4. Design of the presentation of a partner
The Partner must adapt his presentation in accordance with general competition and regulatory rules and technical protection regulations. Visual and acoustic nuisances or other obstructions must not occur. The organizer is entitled to remove objects of the sponsor from the event location at the expense of the sponsor or to have them removed if their event operation or other use is inadmissible and the sponsor does not remove them immediately at the first request of the organizer or the lessor. If the removal of the object is not possible or not sufficient for the creation of a permissible condition, the organizer is entitled to dissolve the contract with the sponsor with immediate termination without loss of its own contractual claims, whereby claims beyond this remain unaffected.
5. Allocation of areas, premises or locations
The allocation of space, premises or locations shall be made by the organizer. The organizer reserves the right to subsequently assign the sponsor an area, room or location in a different location or size, to relocate entrances and exits or to close them, in deviation from the agreement.
6. Changes to the program and cancellation of the event
A) Force majeure
The organizer reserves the right to make necessary changes to the event program, speakers and venue in exceptional cases.
If the event cannot take place as planned due to an event of force majeure, the organizer reserves the right to reschedule or cancel the event to a date and place of its choice.
An event of force majeure is considered to be events that are uncontrollable, unavoidable, cannot be overcome by reasonable means and are not caused by a party. Events of force majeure shall include, but not be limited to:
- Riots, armed conflicts and strikes;
- extraordinary natural events, such as earthquakes;
- epidemics and pandemics;
- consequential effects of such events on the demand for the services offered.
If the event is cancelled as a result of an event of force majeure or if the event participant is unable to attend the already booked event on the new date as a result of a postponement, a flat-rate fee of 25% of the agreed fee shall be due to cover the organizer's expenses.
Claims for damages by the event participant as a result of a postponement or cancellation of the event are excluded.
B) Other reasons
If the event has to be cancelled for other reasons, an immediate notification will be sent to the last known email address of the participant.
In this case, already paid participation fees will be refunded without deduction. Any further claims are excluded, unless such claims arise due to gross negligence or intentional behavior on the part of the organizer.
7. Recordings
Audio and video recordings of the event are only permitted with prior written special permission and may not be passed on to third parties.
8. Limitation of liability
The organizer is not liable for loss or damage to items brought to the event, unless such claims arise due to gross negligence or intentional conduct on the part of the organizer.
The organizer assumes no liability or warranty for the correctness of the statements made by trainers and speakers in the seminars. The seminar documents used are protected by copyright and may not be reproduced or used commercially (not even in part) without the consent of the organizer and the respective speaker.
9. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction
Contracts are subject to the substantive law of the Republic of Austria, excluding the conflict of laws provisions.
For disputes arising from the legal relationship between the event participant and the organizer, the place of jurisdiction is agreed to be the Commercial Court of Vienna, provided that the event participant is not a consumer within the meaning of § 1 KSchG.
