Liability Insurance 

The International Congress and Convention B.V. is not liable for injury, damage, loss, accident, delay, or irregularity during arrangements organised through contractors or their employees. Hotel and transportation services are subject to the terms and conditions under which they are publicly offered.

The International Congress and Convention B.V. reserves the right to make necessary changes without prior notice. All disputes are governed by applicable local law.  

Programme Changes and Adjustments 

The International Congress and Convention B.V. will strive to deliver accurate educational programmes (hybrid, in-person, or digital) as advertised. However, the organiser reserves the right to make adjustments to the programme without notice prior to or during the event.

In case of unforeseen circumstances beyond reasonable control, the organiser may:

a) Change or postpone the event date/time.

b) Change the event venue.

c) Adjust the format (hybrid, in-person, digital), length, duration, or scope of the event.

Force Majeure 

If the event cannot be held as scheduled due to force majeure (including but not limited to e.g., blackout, strikes, natural disasters, pandemics, war, government regulations, or internet failures), no refunds will be provided for registration fees already paid.

The International Congress and Convention B.V. reserves the right to postpone the event until the force majeure event no longer exists, ensuring the event takes place under the desired conditions.

Family Emergency Clause

Force majeure due to a “family emergency” is limited to unforeseen and significant circumstances involving immediate family members (parents, children, siblings). This does not cover routine, minor, or predictable illnesses or events.
