Section 3 - Inability to Attend / Cancellation

If a visitor is unable to attend despite being registered, the visitor must inform the Organizer without delay, but no later than 48 hours before the event commences by sending an email to eventmanagement@innovaphone.com.

Section 4 - Photographs, Drawings, Video Recordings

The Organizer is entitled to have photographs taken or drawings and video recordings made of the Trade Show, of visitors and other participants and to use such for advertising purposes and press releases.

Section 5 - Liability

The Organizer shall be liable without limitation for damages caused by injury to life, limb or health, as well as in cases of intent and gross negligence.

In cases of simple negligence, the Organizer shall only be liable for other damages if a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) has been breached. In this case, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

This limitation of liability also applies to the conduct of the Organizer’s vicarious agents and persons employed by the Organizer for the performance of its contractual obligations.

Visitors are liable for damages they culpably cause to persons or property.

The Organizer’s service offering and, in particular, the services provided through Exhibitors and speakers, for instance, speeches, PowerPoint presentations, video recordings, etc., are usually protected by trademark or copyrights.

For the duration of the Trade Show, visitors submit to the Organizer’s rights as the occupier of the premises with regard to the entire site of the Trade Show. Visitors must follow the instructions of the employees of these premises, who identify themselves by means of corresponding company identification. Violations against the Conditions of Participation or against instructions issued under the rights as the occupier of the premises entitle the Organizer to exclude visitors from the event and remove them from the premises after unsuccessfully requesting them to desist.

Sindelfingen, Germany, is the place of performance. The place of jurisdiction for all and any disputes arising from on in connection with the event is Stuttgart. Any exclusive place of jurisdiction remains unaffected.

The Organizer and, if required, service partners collect, process and use personal data for the purpose of taking care of and informing customers and prospective customers as well as for carrying out the offered services, thereby observing the provisions of the GDPR and any other relevant data privacy legislation. The Organizer’s data protection policy applies.

If visitors register for presentations and workshops, the personal data provided during registration (e.g. name, e-mail address, company) will be passed on to the respective exhibiting company giving the presentation with the visitor’s express consent so that the exhibiting company can offer additional information on the presentation and the company’s own products and services. The processing of this data by the exhibiting company is subject to its own data protection regulations.

Section 10 - Severability Clause

Should any of the provisions of the Conditions of Participation be or become invalid or incomplete, either in whole or in part, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions or the contract. In this case, the parties undertake to replace the invalid provision or fill a gap with a provision that is best suited to achieve the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
