The content of this post is a summary of an article

 CHAPTER 1

GENERAL CONDITIONS

1.In this agreement the following words shall have the following meanings:

Europoint b.v.:
Europoint, as well as any person or legal entity and his/its authorised
representatives with whom the event is jointly organised.

  1. Deviations from this agreement or the complete or partial exemption
    from any of the prohibitions or obligations specified in this agreement shall only apply if such deviation or exemption is stated in writing and signed by Europoint, and/or if a supplementary agreement has been entered into.
  2. Third parties who have not entered into a participation agreement cannot derive any rights from this agreement

CHAPTER 2
GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING PARTICIPATION

The organisers reserve the right to alter the dates, times and site of
the event as listed in the conditions of participation or to cancel the
event at all times, if this is a consequence of exceptional
circumstances which have arisen through no fault of their own,
without this giving the participants any right whatsoever to claim
compensation from the organisers for any damages, in whatever
form or for whatever reason such damages may have arisen.
The special circumstances referred to in paragraph 1 include:
insufficient interest on the part of participants, disagreement within
the branches of industry concerned, fire, a national disaster, which
circumstances, in the opinion of Europoint and after weighing the
interests of all parties, could endanger the success of the event
In the case of cancellation at his own request, the participant is
obliged to reimburse any other costs incurred by Europoint. The
participant cannot claim compensation for any loss suffered directly
or indirectly as a result of the provisions in this article.

CHAPTER 3
APPLICATION/PAYMENT/CANCELLATION

The application to participate in an event must be submitted on an
application form which is made available to the participant. If this form
is signed by an employee who is not empowered to commit the
participant concerned, Europoint will consider this to be the signature
of an authorised person and will therefore require the participant to
accept any and all consequences arising from this application.
Filling out, signing and submitting the application form is deemed to be
an irrevocable offer by the participant to participate in the event. This
offer shall be deemed accepted by Europoint as soon as Europoint
receives a signed agreement of participation from the applicant.

In exceptional cases the organiser can decide to offer a discount for
early bookings

The participant is liable for all fees payable to Europoint regarding his
participation, irrespective whether or not these costs were occasioned
by the participant himself of by third parties on his behalf.

Payments which the participant claims he is due from Europoint may
not be offset against the payments which are owed to Europoint by the
participant. Neither can the participant claim a right to suspend
performance in respect of such payments.

CHAPTER 4
PROHIBITORY PROVISIONS

Without the written permission of or on behalf of the organisers, the
participant is not permitted to:

Conduct a survey amongst the visitors and participants of the event within the complex used for the event or on the surrounding grounds or premises. Carry out activities which, in the opinion of the organisers, cause damage negatively affect the event as a collective manifestation, even if these activities are not directed at one or more specific participants or groups thereof. All this insofar as the activities cannot be regarded as customary in normal competitive relationships

CHAPTER 5
MAINTAINING ORDER

The organisers are entitled, without any legal intervention, to take one
or more of the following steps and measures, if necessary at the
expense of the participant, against any participant who acts contrary to
any of the provisions of this agreement or the participation conditions
or who fails to comply with any instruction issued by or on behalf of
the organisers:
to withdraw the participator’s badge issued to him and to deny that
person involved access to the event with immediate effect
رto exclude the participant involved from participation in any events to
be organised in the future.

CHAPTER 6
SPECIAL PROVISIONS

If the participant fails to comply with any regulations, conditions or
instructions Europoint has given or will give, then Europoint is entitled to
take the necessary measures at the expense and risk of the participant, to
ensure that such regulations, conditions or instructions will be fulfilled, or
to exclude the participating organisation from the event.

Europoint can accept no liability for damage or loss, under whatever name, whether suffered directly or indirectly by the participant,
including damage due to theft, destruction or whatever other cause, if
this damage or loss is caused by third parties.

The participant shall indemnify Europoint against all claims from third
parties, for damage or loss, under whatever name, caused by the
participant himself.

If the provisions of this agreement are in conflict with or deviate from the
conditions stated on the application form, then, if this application resulted in a participation agreement, the conditions of the application shall prevail.
Alterations and additions made by the participant himself will only be valid if these have the express written approval of Europoint.

Contingencies

In all cases not provided for in this agreement the decision of Europoint will be final.
