1.2. Informa reserves the right to refuse and/or withdraw Delegate and/or Delegate Attendee’s
registration for, and/or attendance at, the Event at any time.
1.3. Informa cannot guarantee the number of attendees at the Event and any number of expected
attendees indicated by Informa at any time is an estimate only (and not a guarantee). Without
limitation to the foregoing, Informa does not make any warranty as to the Event in general,
including, without limitation, in relation to: (i) the presence, absence or location of any
attendee or other participant of the Event, (ii) the number of attendees or other participants at
the Event, and/or (iii) the benefit or outcome (commercial or otherwise) that Delegate and/or

1.4. Informa has no responsibility and liability for any third party services provided in connection
with the Event.

a physical event to a virtual event and vice versa), content, location, venue, opening hours,
duration, dates, other timings, attendees, other participants and/or any other aspect of the
Event, in each case without liability.
1.6. Informa reserves the right to cancel or change the date(s) of the Event at any time and for any
reason (including, without limitation, if a force majeure event occurs that Informa considers
makes it illegal, impossible, inadvisable or impracticable for the Event to be held). In the event
that the date(s) of the Event are changed to new date(s) that are within twelve (12) months
of the originally scheduled opening date of the Event and/or the Event is cancelled but is
reasonably expected by Informa to be held at any time in the next calendar year, Delegate and
Delegate Attendee’s registration will be deemed to be valid for the Event on the new date(s)
or when it is next staged (as applicable) in the same way that it would have applied to the
originally scheduled Event (and no refund of any paid Registration Fees will be issued). Where
all or part of the Event is cancelled and is not reasonably expected by Informa to be held at
any time in the next calendar year, Delegate and Delegate Attendee’s registration will no longer
be deemed to be valid for the Event (or the cancelled portion of the Event, as applicable) and,

the Event, as applicable) will be refunded or a credit note issued for the same, and Delegate
will be released from paying any further amount of Registration Fees for the Event (or the
cancelled portion of the Event, as applicable). Service charges are non-refundable. Personal
arrangements, including, without limitation, travel and accommodation, are at Delegate
and Delegate Attendee’s own risk and Informa will not be liable for any costs relating to
such arrangements, even if the Event is cancelled or moved to new date(s). Delegate
acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this clause 1.6 set out Delegate’s sole
remedy in the event of cancellation or the changing of the date(s) of the Event and all other
liability of Informa to Delegate and/or Delegate Attendee is hereby expressly excluded.
1.7. Informa reserves the right without liability to refuse admission to, or to eject/block from, the
Event (whether physical or virtual) any person in its absolute discretion, including (without
limitation) any person who, in the opinion of Informa, represents a security risk, nuisance or
annoyance to the running of the Event.
1.8. All unauthorised filming, sound recording and photography of the Event, and all unauthorised
transmission of audio or visual material at the Event, by Delegate and/or Delegate Attendee is
expressly prohibited. Delegate agrees (and shall procure that Delegate Attendee also agrees):
(a) to surrender to Informa or destroy on demand any material in whatever media recorded
in violation of this clause 1.8, (b) that the copyright and other intellectual property rights in
any such material shall vest in Informa unconditionally and immediately on the creation of
such material, and (c) to hold Informa and all entities within the Informa Group (as well as
any employees or other representatives of the same) harmless against any claims made in
respect of such unauthorised activities.
1.9. Delegate acknowledges and agrees that Informa and its personnel shall be permitted to
film, sound record and photograph the Event, which may include, without limitation, filming,
sound recording and photography featuring Delegate Attendee (the Content). Delegate
agrees to make Delegate Attendee aware of such filming, sound recording and photography
of the Event. Delegate acknowledges and agrees that Informa is the sole and exclusive
owner of all rights in the Content and hereby waives any and all: (i) rights in and to such
Content, and (ii) claims that Delegate may have relating to or arising from the Content or its
use. Without limitation, Informa shall be permitted to use the Content anywhere in the world
for promotional and other purposes, without any payment or compensation. If Delegate
Attendee has any objection to the use of their image in any filming, sound recording and/or
photography of the Event, Delegate shall notify Informa in writing.
2. DELEGATE OBLIGATIONS
2.1. Delegate shall, and shall procure that Delegate Attendee also shall:
2.1.1. co-operate with Informa in all manners relating to attendance at the Event and comply with
all reasonable instructions given by Informa and its personnel, the venue owners, security
personnel and/or management at the Event; and
2.1.2. be responsible and liable for obtaining all rights, consents and licences for Delegate and/or
Delegate Attendee’s use of any third-party intellectual property rights or other materials used
at the Event.
3. REGISTRATION FEES AND PAYMENT
3.1. Delegate shall pay the Registration Fees in full in accordance with such payment terms as are
set out in the Order (or if no payment terms are set out in the Order, within 30 days of the date
of Informa’s invoice for such Registration Fees and, in any case, in advance of the Event taking
place). Unless Informa directs otherwise, Registration Fees shall be paid in local currency.
It is the intent of the parties that Informa shall receive the Registration Fees in full and that
any: (i) banking and other transfer of payment charges, and (ii) applicable VAT, GST, sales
and/or service taxes shall be paid solely by Delegate (in addition to the Registration Fees). If
and to the extent that any withholding taxes are payable in connection with the whole or any
portion of the Registration Fees, Delegate shall pay such withholding taxes directly to the
relevant tax authority and furnish Informa with a valid certificate evidencing payment. To the
extent that a valid certificate is not provided, or to the extent that Informa is unable to recover
the withholding taxes, the amount of the Registration Fees shall be increased by an amount
necessary to compensate for the withholding taxes (including, without limitation, any amount
necessary to “gross up” for withholding taxes levied on the increase itself).
3.2. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy that Informa may have, in the event Delegate
fails to meet any payment obligations, Informa shall be entitled in its sole discretion to deem
that Delegate has cancelled Delegate Attendee’s registration at the Event (including without
limitation any Meetings) and Informa may exercise its rights pursuant to clause 6.3.
3.3. If any amounts payable in the Order are not paid to Informa by their due date for payment
then Informa shall be entitled to charge interest on such sum from the day following the due
date for payment at the rate of 4% per annum above the Bank of England base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual
payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment.
4. DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY
4.1. Any personal information that Delegate provides to Informa (including, without limitation,
personal information relating to Delegate Attendee) will be held by Informa on a database
and, where Informa has appropriate authorisation/justification (which may include, without
limitation, express/implied consent or legitimate interests), may be shared with other entities
within the Informa Group and selected third parties internationally for promotional and other
purposes. Such personal information may also be shared with government entities and
regulatory authorities as required by law. At the Event, exhibitors and sponsors may use lead
capture applications or barcode scanner devices. If Delegate Attendee chooses to allow their
badge (whether physical or digital) to be scanned by third parties at the Event, Informa may
pass personal information relating to Delegate Attendee to such third parties. Further, there
may be certain areas of the Event at which Delegate Attendee’s attendance is conditional on
personal information relating to Delegate Attendee being provided to third parties that have
sponsored or are managing such areas. The use that any third parties make of personal
information is outside of Informa’s control and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
Informa does not accept any liability in this regard. For more information about how Informa
may use personal information that Delegate and/or Delegate Attendee provides to us please
see Informa’s privacy policy: https://www.informamarkets.com/en/privacy-policy.html.
5. LIABILITY
5.1. Delegate expressly assumes, and shall procure that Delegate Attendee also expressly
assumes, all risks associated with, resulting from or arising in connection with Delegate
and/or Delegate Attendee’s participation in and/or attendance at the Event. All indemnities,
warranties, representations, terms and conditions (whether express or implied) except
as set out herein are excluded. Informa and all entities within the Informa Group (as well
as any employees or other representatives of the same) exclude all liability for any loss,
injury, illness, disease or damage whatsoever that Delegate and/or Delegate Attendee may
suffer in connection with or arising from the Event whether direct, indirect, consequential,
special, incidental or punitive loss, injury or damage (including, without limitation, injury,
illness or disease to persons, property damage, theft, loss of profits, loss of business, loss
of opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss or corruption of data or any other type of economic
loss, injury or damage) or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, Informa shall not incur
any liability whatsoever for any products displayed or sold by any exhibitor or sponsor at the
Event.
5.2. Informa’s (and any member of the Informa Group’s) total aggregate liability to Delegate
and Delegate Attendee in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty)
or otherwise arising under these Terms, the Agreement or otherwise in connection with the
Event shall be limited to the Registration Fees paid by Delegate to Informa for the Event.
5.3. The limitations and exclusions in this clause 5 only apply to the extent permitted by applicable
law.
6. TERMINATION AND CANCELLATION
6.1. Informa may terminate the Agreement without liability immediately at any time by written
notice to Delegate if Delegate: (i) is in material breach of any of its obligations under the
Agreement and/or any other agreement between Delegate and any member of the Informa
Group and either the breach is irremediable or Delegate has not remedied the breach (if the
same is capable of remedy) within 14 days of receiving written notice of the breach (or such
lesser period as would be required for the breach to be remedied in sufficient time prior to the
opening date of the Event), (ii) goes into liquidation, is declared insolvent, has an administrator
appointed (or an application is made for the same), ceases to carry on business or suffers any
analogous event in any jurisdiction, or (iii) is convicted of any criminal offence or otherwise so
conducts itself as to bring itself, the Event and/or Informa into disrepute. Without prejudice
to any other right or remedy it may have, in the event that Informa terminates the Agreement
pursuant to this clause 6.1, Informa shall not be required to refund any Registration Fees
received from Delegate and Informa shall be entitled to submit an invoice in respect of the
balance (or the whole as the case may be) of the Registration Fees which shall become
immediately due and payable.
6.2. Informa may terminate the Agreement without liability immediately at any time by written
notice to Delegate if Informa: (i) determines in its absolute discretion that the provision of the
Order to Delegate is not in the best interests of the Event and/or not in Informa’s legitimate
commercial interests, (ii) is required by any law or instructed by any financial institution to
cease trading with certain individuals/entities and/or in certain geographical locations, and/
or (iii) decides to cancel the Event and does not wish for this Contract to continue in full
force and effect pursuant to clause 1.6. In the event that Informa terminates the Agreement
pursuant to this clause 6.2, any portion of the Registration Fees already paid shall be refunded
(where legally permissible) and Delegate shall be released from paying any further portion
of the Registration Fees. Delegate acknowledges and agrees that the refund of Registration
Fees paid is Delegate’s sole remedy in the event of termination by Informa under this clause
6.2 and all other liability of Informa is hereby expressly excluded.
6.3. Subject to Clause 6.4, if Delegate wishes to cancel Delegate Attendee’s registration for the
Event (including, without limitation, any Meetings) it must do so in writing. The cancellation
fee due is 100% of the Registration Fees (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no refund of any
paid Registration Fees will be issued in the event of any such cancellation).

result of mandatory government-imposed travel restrictions and/or quarantine conditions that
apply so as to prohibit persons in general: a) leaving the territory in which Delegate is based;
b) leaving the territory in which the physical portion of the Event is due to take place; and/or
c) travelling from the territory in which Delegate is based to the territory in which the physical
portion of the Event is due to take place, Delegate is entitled to elect that any monies it has
paid to Informa in connection with the physical portion of the Event be either applied to a
future edition of the Event; or refunded to Delegate.
