Terms and Conditions

Scope of Agreement 

These terms and conditions ("Terms"), together with the order submitted by you, the Delegate (whether online or in hard copy) ("Order"), comprise the "Agreement" between you, the Delegate, and us, Contentive ("Organiser") governing your use of our services, including attendance at the Event at the Venue on the Date. Where capitalised terms are not defined in these Terms, they shall have the meaning given to them on the Order.

Attendance at Event
Registration Fees Includes:

  • Attendance at seminars, master classes and conference sessions pre-arranged by Organiser
  • Attendance at all networking lunches and dinners (not including food or drink outside the Event)
  • Attendance at organised Drinks reception

You warrant that you are appropriately qualified for attendance at the Event and will conduct yourself in a proper and professional manner at all times, and shall adhere to any health & safety, security or other requirement of Organiser (or of the Venue or other person approved by Organiser) in relation to the Event.

All content and other materials provided by or on behalf of Organiser at or in relation to Event contain copyright, trademarks or other intellectual property rights or Organiser or other third parties and Delegate shall not and shall not allow any other person to copy, modify, adapt or otherwise use such content and materials for any purpose without Organiser's (or the relevant third party's) express prior written consent.

Changes made by Organiser
Organiser reserves the right to withhold any information relating to the Event and/or refuse the Delegate entry to the event unless and until all fees due in respect of that Delegate's attendance at the Event have been paid in full (without any deduction, counterclaim or set-off). Without prejudice to the foregoing, If any fees due to Organiser are not paid by the date of the Event, Organiser shall be entitled to retain any part payment which it has received.

Organiser reserves right to change the Venue and/or cancel the Event upon written notice to Delegate.

If Organiser cancels the Event other than by reason of events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control, Organiser will reimburse Total Fee to Delegate. If Event is cancelled by Organiser by reason of events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control (including without limitation Acts of God, flood, failure of any material supplier to the Event, or a cancellation by the operators of the Venue), Organiser will reschedule Event (to be held within 12 months of original Event) but no reimbursement will be made by Organiser and Delegate will remain liable to pay Total Fee on these Terms.

Organiser reserves the right to cancel any booking made by the Delegate at its sole discretion and without giving any reason for such cancellation. In such event, Organiser shall promptly refund to the Delegate all fees paid in respect of such cancelled booking.

If you book the Industry Delegate package then you warrant that you are an industry end-user as defined on the Delegate Packages page of the event website. If you are not an industry end-user as so defined, then Organiser (without prejudice to its other rights and remedies) reserves the right to disqualify you from attending the event in this non-industry end-user capacity. In such circumstances, any monies, fees or disbursements paid will be deemed to have been made as non-cancellable part-payment towards an appropriate Sponsorship package or such other package as Organiser shall deem appropriate in its reasonable discretion. Subject to full and timely payment of the balance of the appropriate fee for such a Sponsorship package, you will be eligible to attend the event in that capacity subject to the terms and conditions applying to Sponsorship packages.
