The Regulations of the Event

1. The Subject of the Regulations
1. These regulations (the Regulations) specify the terms of participation in the event (the Event). If the terms of participation are specified also elsewhere, for instance in the Event description, facility regulations, application form or order for Event-related services, the Regulations shall supplement such documents and shall be applicable to the extent not governed therein. If participation in the Event and related services are paid for, the document specifies conditions for the provision and settlement of mutual performances.
2. The Event organiser (the Organiser) shall be an entity indicated in the Event description or application form.
3. The Regulations shall apply to such Events as a congress, conference, gathering, tournament, meeting, symposium, convention, forum, training session, exhibition, fair, ball, banquet, concert or any other sport, cultural or artistic event for which the Organiser has requested for these Regulations to be accepted or when the Organiser has provided these Regulations in connection with the given Event so that they can be kept and reproduced in the normal course of operations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Regulations shall be deemed accepted also through participation in the Event or payment for participation or a related service.
4. If the Regulations do not provide otherwise, they shall be binding for all the Event participants, i.e. individuals who register for the Event, including on somebody else’s behalf or as representatives of any institutions or companies, or who actually participate in the Event as visitors, spectators, guests, exhibitors, partners, sponsors, moderators, speakers or their representatives (the Participant). For the avoidance of doubt, any person who has expressed their will to enter the facilities where the Event is held and who has been allowed to enter such facilities shall be deemed a Participant.
5. The Participants must be adults unless the Organiser has also given individual consent for participation to other individuals. If a person below 13 years of age is allowed to participate in the Event, their legal guardian shall be responsible for such person’s compliance with the Regulations.
6. If the right to participate in the Event has been acquired through other entities, including via ticket sale websites, the Participant shall be also bound by acquisition terms set forth by such entities.
2. Registration and Participation in the Event
1. In order to participate in the Event, the person in question needs to be registered through the application form submitted to the Organiser via an on-line registration system or otherwise as specified by the Organiser. In the case of Events or participation available against payment, the payment of a relevant fee, the order or the presentation of an entry ticket shall be required in order to participate in the Event or obtain related services, either instead of or in addition to the aforementioned registration.
2. In the application form, the order or elsewhere, the Organiser shall specify requirements and the Participant’s data needed for registration for the given Event, for the acquisition of the right to participate in the Event or for using specific services. If this is justified by the nature of the Event, by the fact that participation is free of charge or by restrictions related to the facilities, the Organiser may refuse the registration or may make the registration of a given person dependent on additional verification, additional consent for using their data or on a specific date of applying.
3. In the case of a registration made on behalf of another person and entering another person’s data, the individual entering such data guarantees that they have obtained the relevant authorisation for the registration, setting up an account or submitting representations required for the registration; further, such individual shall be responsible for the consequences of entering data not conforming with such authorisation. In the case of registration made for more than one person, the individual making the registration should make separate entries for each of them (with a separate account/e-mail address for each person registered for the Event).
4. For some types of Participants, for example, journalists, exhibitors, guests, speakers or buyers of the VIP/Premium Zone services, the Organiser may establish special registration rules or rules governing their access to the facilities, in particular consisting in the registration being made by the Organiser itself or in using additional identification badges confirming the right to any given services (for example, photos). If the Participant is registered by the Organiser, the registration shall be made based on the data provided by the Participant, their representative or publicly available data.
5. Information and representations connected with the participation in the Event or the order of additional related services shall be sent to the Participant’s e-mail address. The representations sent to such address shall be deemed delivered to the Participant who has been registered with the use of the given address. The Organiser must be notified of any changes to the address.
6. The Participant’s data collected at the registration or in connection with the participation in the Event shall be processed in compliance with the Organiser’s Privacy Policy which represents an integral part of these Regulations. Each Participant shall read the Privacy Policy available at the following link.
3. Rights and Obligations of the Organiser and of the Participants
1. If the terms of participation in any given Event do not provide otherwise, the Organiser shall guarantee to the Participant access to the respective parts of the facilities where the Event is held and the form of participation and contact with other Participants appropriate to the nature of the Event, in exchange for the Participant’s open participation in the Event and for allowing the Organiser and other Participants to contact the Participant. It is not possible to participate in the Event anonymously, with the exception of specific cases and the Organiser’s consent.
2. Due to the necessity to ensure security, comfort and the verifiability of the Participants’ rights, the Organiser shall identify Participants, for example, via individual accounts on the online registration website or via registered identification badges. The Organiser reserves the right to control and verify the Participant’s identity and their rights to enter the facilities and to use the Event-related services, e.g. in the form of a request to present an ID. If the Participant has failed to provide all the required data during the registration, refuses to show the ID or if there is any doubt as to the compliance of his data with the data included on the ID, the Organiser has the right to control and verify their identity in some other available manner, for example by requesting the Participant to present their documents during the Event.
3. The Event will be recorded in photographs and with the use of audio/video devices, including potential broadcasting thereof on radio, television or by other means allowing for public distribution in such a manner so that everybody can have access thereto in a place and time selected by them (for example, online). Participation in the Event is open; therefore, the Participant’s figure or image recorded individually or as an element of the greater picture may be, either deliberately or randomly, documented in photos, as audio or video files, and materials obtained in such a way may be distributed by the Organiser and press representatives for information and promotional purposes related to the Event, other Events and activities of the Organiser, Event sponsors and partners (including through websites, e-mail, social media and in the printed press). Notwithstanding the above, the Event may also be monitored for security reasons.
4. The Organiser assumes that the Participant taking part in the Event accepts the possibility of the aforementioned recording and usage of their figure and image as an Event participant. If for any reason the Participant does not accept the aforementioned specific use of their image, they shall notify the Organiser thereof who will be then obliged to discontinue any such use with immediate effect or to base such use on a legal basis other than consent.
5. If in connection with the registration for the Event, participation in the Event or using the Event-related services, the Participant provides the Organiser with any materials, for instance objects, biographical notes, photos, graphics or recordings, in order to use them or make them available in connection with the given participation, such submission shall represent authorisation for the Organiser together with events` sponsors and events` partners to use them in line with the agreed purpose, including on any sites publicising the Event and in the aforementioned recording or monitoring of the Event. The Participant guarantees that the usage of the aforementioned materials shall not infringe any rights of third parties.
