1. Scope, subject matter, and conclusion of the respective contract
The following terms and conditions conclusively regulate the contractual relationship between Consultport GmbH, hereinafter referred to as "organizer" and the respective customer. These General Terms and Conditions shall apply exclusively. Any terms and conditions of the Customer that conflict with or deviate from these Terms and Conditions shall not be recognized unless the Organizer has expressly agreed to them in an individual case. The subject of the respective contract is the ticket sale from the organizer to the customer for the respective currently offered event Accelerate Tomorrow Summit. Customers can purchase tickets for the respective event via the organizer's website. After the ticket ordering process is completed, an effective contract between the parties shall be concluded.These General Terms and Conditions are concluded in English. German law shall apply.
2. Execution of the contract
With the conclusion of the purchase contract, the payment of the purchase price becomes due. The customer can choose between different payment options. Following the receipt of full payment by the organizer, the customer will receive the tickets sent to the e-mail address provided by the customer. The customer will not receive any further tickets by mail or fax. The customer is responsible for keeping and carrying the tickets to the event. The customer is obligated, when claiming discounted tickets (e.g. Startup, Under 25), to present the corresponding evidence upon request without being asked. If the customer does not comply with this, the organizer has the right to withdraw from the contract after setting a reasonable deadline to fulfill the obligation to provide proof. If it turns out that the customer is not entitled to the corresponding ticket type, it is pointed out that the organizer is legally entitled to contest the contract.
3. Rights and duties
The organizer provides information and lectures for its customers and provides a platform for informative exchange among customers. To ensure and realize the purpose of the contract, the organizer may also use technical means such as video and chat systems.
The organizer has the right to change the schedule, content, and locations of the respective events at short notice. The organizer will - as far as possible - provide an equivalent substitute. The organizer reserves the right to hold the event online in case of justified interest. In the case of an online event, the organizer shall ensure - as far as possible - that both the content of the event and the opportunity for customers to network with each other correspond as closely as possible to the standard of a face-to-face event. For this purpose, the organizer uses suitable technical means to fulfill the information and networking purpose of the respective event. This does not give the customer the right to withdraw and/or cancel his tickets. The purchaser assures that the person for whom he purchases the ticket meets the requirements (e.g. startup, under 25) for the purchased ticket. In the event that the personal requirements do not match the type of ticket, no right to participate in the event is acquired, which is why admission may be denied. The purchaser is entitled to change the names to which the tickets purchased by him/her are issued up to 14 days before the event, provided that the users meet the respective conditions from clause 3. After the expiry of this period, it is no longer possible to change the names. The parties are aware that the event is a global networking event, which also lives from the names of the participants. The purpose of the event is precisely to get to know other people and to spread one's own name/face. Accordingly, the organizer is entitled to publish and/or pass on to third parties the data provided by the participant to the extent contractually possible.
The organizer may require compliance with applicable official orders and legal regulations in force at the time of the event.
The customer is obliged to use the services provided/to be provided by the organizer only for the contractually agreed purposes. The customer must ensure that his actions in connection with the event do not violate legal regulations and/or the rights of third parties. In particular, the customer is obligated to check the legal admissibility of any actions/inactions himself and to behave in a legally compliant manner. If third parties assert claims against the organizer by the preceding clauses, the organizer shall inform the customer of this without delay. In this respect, the customer undertakes to indemnify the organizer against any liability towards third parties, to support the organizer in the legal defense, and to bear the costs of the appropriate legal defense, insofar as the organizer is not guilty of contributory negligence. In this case, the exemption is to be reduced by the contributory negligence.
If a customer registers in the name of another person, it must be ensured that the participating person knows and accepts these conditions. By completing and submitting the registration form, the customer represents and warrants that the participating person has been made aware of these terms and has accepted these terms.
The organizer is entitled to allow a customer to attend Accelerate Summit only if, by the official orders or legal regulations in force at the time of the event, the customer presents appropriate proof of a negative result of a COVID-19 test, a complete vaccination against COVID-19 or the existence of a previous infection with the SARS -CoV-2 coronavirus.
Customers who are excluded from attending the event for the present reasons remain obliged to pay the ticket fee and are therefore not entitled to a refund of the ticket fee paid. Further claims are excluded.
To ensure compliance with the protective and hygienic measures prescribed by law, the organizer is entitled to restrict the number of persons in the entire event area or in parts thereof. The organizer may therefore temporarily deny customers access to the entire event area or parts thereof. If a customer who enters the exhibition grounds on an event day to attend the event is not allowed to visit at least part of an event area on that day due to the aforementioned restrictions, the customer may demand reimbursement of the pro rata ticket fee in the case of a multi-day ticket. Further claims are excluded.
4. Cancellation, postponement, cancellation by the organizer
If, as a result of force majeure or for other reasons for which the organizer is not responsible, the organizer is forced to temporarily vacate one or more areas of the event or to postpone or shorten the event for a longer period of time, the customer shall have no right to withdraw from the event, to terminate the event or to reduce the price, nor shall the customer have any claims, in particular claims for damages, against the organizer. The same shall apply if the customer is unable to attend the conference as a result of force majeure or for other reasons for which the organizer is not responsible. In the event of a postponement, the purchased ticket shall remain valid for the rescheduled date. Further claims by the customer, in particular claims for reimbursement of travel or accommodation costs, are excluded.
If the organizer cancels the event because it cannot hold the event due to force majeure or other circumstances for which the organizer is not responsible, or because it has become unreasonable for the organizer to hold the event, then the organizer shall not be liable for any damages or disadvantages resulting for the customer from the cancellation of the event.
5. Photos and recordings
The customer expressly agrees that photos and recordings may be made of him before and during the entire events and may be published, distributed, and passed on by the organizer on the Internet, in the print media, and other media.
In connection with the purchase of tickets and/or the use of the app, customers expressly agree that the profile pictures they provide may be used for advertising purposes. This includes the use of your profile picture in marketing campaigns, social media posts, as well as other promotional materials to advertise our services. You agree that this use is free of charge and that no additional rights or compensation will arise on your part.
6. Liability
The organizer shall be liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, in the event of fraudulent concealment of defects, in the event of the assumption of a guarantee of quality, for claims based on the Product Liability Act, and for injury to life, limb or health. For other damages, the organizer is only liable if an obligation is violated, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the customer may regularly rely (cardinal obligations) or if it is a risk that can only be controlled by the organizer. The above limitations of liability shall also apply to the organizer's vicarious agents.
7. Final Provisions
German law is exclusively applicable to these General Terms and Conditions and to the respective sales contract concluded if the customer is not a consumer. If the parties are registered traders, the city of the organizer's registered office is agreed as the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the present contract. Should one or more clauses in these terms and conditions be wholly or partially invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
