Registration conditions (T&C and cancellation)

Terms and conditions of Chiesi GmbH for participation in the WeACT Con sustainability conference

  1. Scope

    These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to the participants’ purchase of right of access (hereinafter “admission ticket”) to the sustainability conference WeACT Con (hereinafter “event”) organized by Chiesi GmbH (hereinafter “organizer”).

    The purchase is made exclusively in accordance with the following conditions, which form the basis of the legal transaction when participants submit their binding registration. The validity of different or additional terms and conditions for the participants is excluded, even if the organizer does not expressly object to them.

  2. Service

    The organizer’s service includes access to the event held in person, and the elements defined in more detail in the program, such as lectures, exhibitions and workshops.

  3. Registration and conclusion of the contract

    1. The promotion of the event and other associated services via the websites or other channels available at www.weactcon.de is non-binding. It merely represents an invitation from the organizer to submit an application to conclude a contract. It is only the submission of the registration that has been sent by the participants that constitutes a binding offer.
    2. Registration can only be carried out online via the event website at www.weactcon.de by submitting the mandatory information.
    3. A contract is only concluded upon receipt of the confirmation of participation by the organizer. Since access can only be granted to a limited number of people, the organizer’s acceptance of the offer is subject to the availability of places. The organizer also reserves the right not to enter into a contractual relationship with individual participants for other objective reasons.
  4. Prices and payment

    1. The final ticket price for participants for the admission ticket is based on the amount stated at the time of registration, taking into account any discounts, and including statutory sales tax.
    2. Payment is due without deduction within 14 days of receipt of the correct invoice, and it is deemed to have been made on time if credited to the organizer's account within the payment deadline.
    3. The full participation costs apply even if the participants do not take part in the event.
  5. Withdrawal (cancelation)

    Without prejudice to any legal rights of withdrawal, the organizer grants participants the opportunity to withdraw from the contract free of charge by giving written notice at least 14 days before the start of the event. If the withdrawal is only declared after this period has expired, the organizer may claim flat rate compensation based on the following scale:

    From 13 days to 8 days before the start of the event - 50% of the participation costs

    From 7 days before the start of the event - 100% of the participation costs

    Replacement participants may attend without incurring any additional costs up to two days before the event, by sending an email to info@weactcon.com.

  6. Liability

    The organizer is only liable for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence by themselves or their subcontractors.

    This excludes the contravention of essential contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which is vital for the proper execution of the contract, and for which the organizer is liable even in the event of slight negligence. However, this is limited in amount to the typical foreseeable contract damages.

    Claims for damages under the Product Liability Act, strict liability, and those due to injury to life, limb and health remain unaffected by the above regulations.

  7. Cancelation, postponement or changes to the event program

    1. The event may be canceled or postponed within a reasonable period of time if it is not possible for the organizer to hold it either due to too few participants or because of an external, unavoidable event for which the organizer is not responsible (force majeure). In the event of cancelation, the costs will be waived or, if they have paid, refunded. Furthermore, reference is made to the possibility of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions in Section 5.
    2. The organizer also reserves the right to make changes to the program for objectively justified reasons, while maintaining the overall character of the event, in particular to replace announced speakers with others of equal value, provided that the alternative is reasonable for the participants.
  8. Right of withdrawal for consumers

    In the event that participants are consumers in accordance with Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the following applies in addition to the regulations under Section 5.
