Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD1. Registration
Upon registration, the participant agrees to the following terms and conditions. In all cases, event registration shall be in written form via the registration function on the corresponding website, and shall include all mandatory information. The event organizer will confirm the registration at the latest after the registration deadline, except where such confirmation has been excluded. The contract comes into effect upon receipt of confirmation, or where confirmation was excluded, upon registration. If a registration cannot be accepted, the event organizer will inform the registered or registering person accordingly.
Registering after the registration deadline has elapsed may be possible if spaces are still available. To inquire, please contact events@igd.fraunhofer.de.
2. Terms of payment
Not applicable, as the event is free of charge.
3. Withdrawal / notification of withdrawal
The contractual partner, i.e., registered person, can withdraw from the contract by notifying the event organizer of their withdrawal in writing by e-mailing events@igd.fraunhofer.de by the registration deadline at the latest. The time/date of receipt of the withdrawal notification by the event organizer shall apply.
4. Cancellation of events
The event organizer reserves the right to cancel events, in particular, without limitation, in the case of an insufficient number of registrations. In this instance, the contractual partner shall have no claim to compensation or damages. This also applies in the case of cancellation at short notice or where advance notification of participants is no longer possible. The organizer reserves the right to cancel events where there is good cause.
5. Change of speakers
Insofar as the overall character and quality of the event is not significantly and adversely affected, a change of speaker(s) or changes to the schedule do not entitle the participants to withdraw from the contract. The organizer reserves the right to cancel events where there is good cause.
6. Exclusion from participation
The event organizer reserves the right to exclude participants from further participation in special cases (e.g., disruption to the event or to its organization).
7. Liability
Liability on the part of the event organizer for damages the participant incurs for any legal reason – including delayed performance, impossibility of performance, poor performance, and non-contractual (criminal) liability – is hereby excluded, except where damages were the result of gross negligence or of intent on the part of the event organizer. The event organizer is not liable for any damages caused by viruses (malware) on copied data storage media. Data storage media brought by participants may not be used on our computers, or data transferred to our computers. Should the event organizer incur damages due to a violation of this provision, the event organizer reserves the right to bring claims for damages.
