Participation in Rostock Business events

1. Applicability

1.1 These event and participation conditions apply to all events organized by Gesellschaft für Wirtschafts- und Technologieförderung Rostock mbH (Organizer), in particular in the form of lecture events, seminars, workshops and events for the purpose of exchanging experience or networking.

1.2 General terms and conditions of the registrants or participants shall not apply.

2 Registration

2.1 Registration for events shall be made in the manner provided for this purpose, e.g. via an online form provided by the organizer or by e-mail. The presentation of the event on the Internet pages of the organizer or in textual information materials, whether printed or electronic, does not constitute a legally binding offer. The number of participants is limited. Registrations will be considered in the order in which they are received.

2.2 The Organizer shall send a confirmation of participation in the event to registrants who can be considered for participation in the event. Confirmation of receipt of an application does not constitute a commitment to participate in the event. If the organizer is not able to accept registrations, the registrant will be informed.

3. payment

3.1 If the event is fee-based, payment of the participation fee shall be due upon receipt of the registration confirmation. If a payment deadline is specified in the registration confirmation, payment must be made in full and without reservation within the specified deadline.

3.2 In the event of incomplete or untimely payment or payment subject to reservation (e.g. with regard to the promise of funding or subsidies), the organizer may exclude registrants from participation in the event.

4 Cancellation by registrants / substitute participants

4.1 Registrants have the option to cancel their registration (cancellation) in accordance with the following conditions:
If participation in the event, insofar as it is paid for, is cancelled by written declaration to the organizer up to seven days before the day of the event, the obligation to pay the participation fee shall lapse and registrants shall be reimbursed for any participation fees paid. The receipt of the cancellation by the organizer is decisive for the timeliness of the declaration.

In the event of cancellation of participation in the event, insofar as this is against payment, later than seven days before the day of the event, the obligation to pay the participation fee shall remain in force; no refund shall be made. The participation fee will not be refunded or reduced even if the event as a whole is not attended or parts of it are not attended.

The right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected.

4.2 If the registration management provides the option to do so, registrants are entitled to name substitute participants. If there are important reasons in the respective person of the substitute participants, the organizer reserves the right to deny participation in the event to substitute participants.

5. special circumstances, program changes & change of speakers

5.1 Due to events occurring at short notice (e.g. unforeseeable unavailability of event rooms or event areas, illness of speakers or accident), program changes and the replacement of speakers may be necessary. The organizer is entitled to make such changes while maintaining the overall format of the event and, in view of the topic of the event, shall ensure that the selection of substitute speakers is equivalent to that of the originally planned speakers.

5.2 If, due to special circumstances - e.g. due to a particularly security-relevant event location or special guests - extended access restrictions or security precautions are necessary, the organizer does not assume any guarantee that registrants or named substitutes (cf. 4.2) will meet the requirements.

6. cancellation of events by the organizer

6.1 The Organizer reserves the right to cancel events for important reasons, for example if the number of participants required to cover the costs of the event is not reached, due to the unavailability of speakers at short notice and failed efforts to procure replacement speakers, or due to force majeure.

6.2 The organizer will inform all registrants who have received a registration confirmation of the cancellation.

6.3 In the event that the event is cancelled in accordance with section 6.1, any participation fees already paid shall be refunded in full, if applicable, provided that the event is a paid event. Any further claims on the part of the registrant are excluded; liability under Section 10 remains unaffected.

7. data protection

7.1 Personal data of registrants will be collected, stored and processed for the purpose of processing the registration, for the implementation of the event and, if necessary, for subsequent information on the event as well as for information on future similar events.

7.2 Insofar as this is customary according to the format of the event (e.g. in the case of workshops and lecture events), information on surname, first name and, if applicable, academic titles, profession, place of work and location may be recorded in lists of participants, which are made available in printed form to all persons participating in the event.

7.3 Consent to data processing may be revoked at any time without stating reasons by declaration to the organizer in text form (e.g. letter, fax, e-mail). The revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

8. photo and video recordings

8.1 In the course of the events, image and sound recordings, e.g. in the form of photos and video recordings, may be made by the organizer or by third parties commissioned or accredited by the organizer. The recordings are made for the purpose of documentation for the organizer's own purposes, e.g. for public relations, including use in social media, in public reporting (press, radio, television) and for presentation on its own website. The organizer assumes that participants consent to the creation and publication of photos and video recordings for the above-mentioned purposes through their behavior, in particular when they willingly look into the camera or "pose".

8.2 Insofar as recordings have individual participants as their subject in an identifiable manner, the participants concerned have the right to inform the photographers or filmmakers at any time that they do not wish photos or videos to be taken. If such a notice is not possible or is not heeded, the organizer will ensure, after a corresponding notice, that a publication of the corresponding photos or the corresponding video sequences does not take place or is immediately terminated.

9 Exclusion of registrants / participants

9.1 The organizer is entitled to exclude registrants and participants from participation if they disrupt the event in such a way that the implementation of the event is impaired or threatened to be impaired, in particular taking into account the interests of the other registrants and participants as well as the organizer. An exclusion according to sentence 1 requires that the registering persons or participants have been informed in vain about the disturbance or threatening disturbance beforehand. The notice may be omitted if the disturbance or the threatened disturbance is particularly serious or the notice is not likely to be successful from the outset.

9.2 In the event that registrants or participants revoke their consent to data processing (cf. Section 7), the organizer shall be entitled to exclude them from participation or further participation in the event, provided that the data processing to which the revocation relates is necessary for the implementation of the event. If an exclusion pursuant to sentence 1 occurs due to a revocation of consent to data processing vis-à-vis the organizer up to seven days before the day of the event, the obligation to pay the participation fee shall lapse, provided that the event is against payment, and registrants shall be reimbursed for any participation fees paid. The receipt of the cancellation by the organizer is decisive for the timeliness of the declaration. In the event of exclusion pursuant to sentence 1 due to revocation of consent to data processing vis-à-vis the organizer later than seven days prior to the day of the event, the obligation to pay the participation fee shall remain in effect; no reimbursement shall be made.

10 Liability

The organizer shall only be liable for damages resulting from an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty on the part of the organizer, its legal representatives or vicarious agents. This shall not affect liability for injury to life, limb and health, for breach of essential contractual obligations and under the Product Liability Act. Essential contractual obligations are those obligations whose fulfillment is necessary to achieve the purpose of the contract and on whose compliance the contractual partner relies and may regularly rely. In the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, liability shall be limited to the typically foreseeable damage, unless the damage was caused intentionally or by gross negligence or the damage claims are based on injury to life, body or health.

11. place of jurisdiction

In the event of disputes between the organizer and merchants, legal entities under public law or special funds under public law, or if the applicant or participant does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the place of jurisdiction shall be Rostock.
