Changes to the programme do neither constitute a right of withdrawal nor refund claim on the part of the persons registered, provided the character of the event as a specialist event in the specified subject area is not affected by the changes.

Cancellation of the Convention; Force Majeure; Hardship

If the convention cannot be held or is postponed, or if the Organizer is prevented through no fault of its own from fulfilling its obligations in connection with the convention due to external, unforeseeable events beyond its control (“Force Majeure”), or if circumstances arise, which could not have been foreseen and in the presence of which the Organizer would not have concluded this Contract in such a way and the elimination of which cannot be carried out by economically reasonable means (“Hardship”), the Organizer shall have the right to cancel the convention immediately after the aforementioned circumstances become known and/or to terminate the convention without any liability and shall be released from its obligations to the participants. In these cases, the Organizer cannot be held liable by the participants for any damages, costs or losses such as transportation costs, accommodation costs, financial losses, lost profits, etc. In these circumstances, the Organizer reserves the right to either retain the entire registration fee and use it for a future or rescheduled convention or to reimburse the participant for the costs already incurred for the organization of the convention that could not be recovered from third parties.
