The following exclusion of liability is deemed agreed:
- The Organiser assumes no liability for damages of any kind, in particular not for damages to the exhibition stand (stand design, equipment, exhibits) and the property of the persons working there or for damages suffered by third parties through the exhibition stand, unless it can be proven that such damages were caused intentionally or through gross negligence by the Organiser or its employees.
- The liability of the Organiser for consequential damages is excluded.
- The exhibitor shall indemnify the organiser against all claims made against the organiser due to incidents and damage within the exhibitor's sphere of influence.
- The exhibitor shall be responsible for all personal accidents and damage arising in connection with the assembly or demonstration of the exhibition equipment.
- If the GDCh has to cancel the event at short notice for reasons for which it is responsible, it shall be obliged to refund the exhibitor's financial payments received in part or in full. The GDCh is entitled to retain part of the amount already received from the exhibitor if the exhibitor's support has already been indicated with the exhibitor's logo in the run-up to the event. However, the refund shall always include at least 50% of the total amount.
- By concluding the contract, the contracting party undertakes to comply with the hygiene measures established by the organiser before, during and after the event to protect against infection with the Covid-19 virus. Failure to comply with the regulations may result in (partial) exclusion from the event, in which case there is no (partial) entitlement to reimbursement of the contractually agreed remuneration. If the GDCh is prevented from holding the event due to force majeure, it shall be released from the fulfilment of its obligations. The cancellation of the event due to official orders to contain the Covid-19 pandemic shall also be considered force majeure. In addition, the GDCh reserves the right to hold the event online at short notice - due to the infection situation in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic - immediately before the date of the face-to-face event in order to protect the participants, even if there is no official order to do so. By concluding the contract, the contracting party accepts to pay the contractual remuneration in this case as well. The GDCh in turn ensures that the contracting party can present itself in the virtual space with the same intention as would have been the case at a face-to-face event.
- If the contract is cancelled, the full invoice amount will be charged if the exhibition space cannot be reallocated.
