GENERAL PROVISIONS

By completing the electronic (online) registration or registering by other means for an event (“Event”) organized and/or promoted by the Knightsbridge Academy Limited (“KBAC”; a registered company in England, United Kingdom), a contract (“Contract”) between the participant and the KBAC/Event Organizer is concluded. Such contract is subject to the present General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”). By completing the electronic (online) registration or registering by other means, the participant confirms knowledge and acceptance of the GTC. 

LIABILITY DISCLAIMER

Alteration of Program 
The event program is correct at the time of publication by the KBAC. The KBAC reserves the right to alter or delete items on the program, its schedule and other aspects of its organization at its sole discretion and without advance notice. Further, the KBAC reserves the right to postpone or cancel an Event. The KBAC, the management or organizers and third parties that may be involved in running the Event shall not be liable, whether in contract or in tort, for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damage, loss of profit or any inconvenience a participant may incur as a result of such alterations, deletions, postponement or cancellation. 

Breach of Contract and Liability 
Any liability, whether in contract or in tort, of the KBAC, the management or organizers and third parties that may be involved in running the Event shall be excluded to the extent permitted by the applicable laws. In particular, any liability, whether in contract or in tort, shall be excluded in the case of minor or medium negligence. The KBAC, the management or organizers and third parties that may be involved in running the Event shall in no way be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damage, loss of profit or any inconvenience a participant may incur as a result of non-performance or improper performance of the Contract. 

Force Majeure 
The KBAC, the management or organizers and third parties that may be involved in running the Event shall not be in default (delay) and shall not be liable, whether in contract or in tort, for non-fulfilment of the Contract, in the case of such default, where non-fulfilment is the result of an event which is beyond their or their suppliers’ or subcontractors’ control (in each case a “Force Majeure Event”), including but not limited to: acts of God, total or partial destruction of production plants, conditions of war, insurrection or civil disturbances, revolution, acts of government, acts of terror, fire, epidemics and pandemics, quarantine restrictions, unusual severe weather conditions, embargoes or trade restrictions or any other event which is considered as Force Majeure according to international practice. 

IF THE EVENT IS CANCELLED DUE TO A FORCE MAJEURE EVENT, THE PARTICIPANT IS NOT ENTITLED TO A REFUND OF THE REGISTRATION OR APPLICATION FEE OR OF SIMILAR FEES. IF THE EVENT IS POSTPONED DUE TO A FORCE MAJEURE EVENT AND THE PARTICIPANT IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO ATTEND ON THE REPLACEMENT DATE, THE PARTICIPANT IS NOT ENTITLED TO A REFUND OF THE REGISTRATION OR APPLICATION FEE OR OF SIMILAR FEES. 

DATA COLLECTION 

The KBAC and/or the event organizer handle all personal data according to prevailing laws. To register for a congress, a course, a training or any educational activity or event (“EVENT”), it is necessary to collect, save and process your personal data. Information gathered at congress registration will only be used for the purposes of planning and conducting the EVENT and will only be passed on to third parties that are directly involved with the running of the EVENT and only if the organizational procedure makes it necessary (e.g. hotel).
