The Organiser will take this into account insofar as reasonably possible.<\/p>\n<p>The Organiser may request separate consent for targeted interviews, testimonials or individual portrait photographs or recordings.<\/p>\n<p>The Exhibitor may take its own photographs and video recordings during the Event, provided that:<\/p>\n<p>a. visitors and other exhibitors are not inconvenienced;<br \/>\nb. the privacy and image rights of others are respected;<br \/>\nc. presentations, confidential information or other stands are not recognisably recorded as the principal subject without permission;<br \/>\nd. the recordings do not create the impression that the Organiser endorses the Exhibitor\u2019s content or services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 23 \u2013 Personal Data and Badge Scanning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Organiser processes personal data in accordance with its privacy statement and applicable data protection legislation.<\/p>\n<p>If the Exhibitor receives visitors\u2019 personal data through badge scanning, forms, appointments or other means, the Exhibitor becomes independently responsible for any subsequent processing of those data from the moment of receipt.<\/p>\n<p>The Exhibitor must:<\/p>\n<p>a. process personal data lawfully, fairly and transparently;<br \/>\nb. provide the data subjects with the information required by law;<br \/>\nc. use the data only for clearly defined and lawful purposes;<br \/>\nd. implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures;<br \/>\ne. respect requests for access, rectification and erasure and objections to processing;<br \/>\nf. retain the data no longer than necessary;<br \/>\ng. refrain from unlawfully selling or sharing the data with third parties.<\/p>\n<p>Scanning a badge does not automatically give the Exhibitor permission to contact the individual for every conceivable marketing purpose. The Exhibitor must determine the appropriate legal basis required for each subsequent processing activity.<\/p>\n<p>The Exhibitor may not pressure visitors into having their badges scanned.<\/p>\n<p>The Exhibitor may not collect visitor data through unauthorised scraping, photographing badges, copying attendee lists or other unapproved methods.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of misuse, the Organiser may immediately withdraw access to badge scanning or other lead-generation facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The Organiser is not liable for the manner in which the Exhibitor subsequently processes any personal data received.<\/p>\n<p>The Exhibitor will indemnify the Organiser against claims, fines and costs arising from unlawful processing by the Exhibitor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 24 \u2013 Confidentiality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The parties will treat as confidential any confidential information received in connection with the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Information will be considered confidential if it has expressly been identified as such or if its confidential nature can reasonably be inferred from the nature of the information.<\/p>\n<p>The confidentiality obligation does not apply to information that:<\/p>\n<p>a. is publicly available without any breach of the agreement;<br \/>\nb. was lawfully obtained from a third party;<br \/>\nc. was developed independently;<br \/>\nd. must be disclosed pursuant to a legal obligation or court order.<\/p>\n<p>Attendee lists, non-public visitor data, access details and the Organiser\u2019s internal operational information may not be copied, sold, published or used for any other purpose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 25 \u2013 Breach and Termination<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the Exhibitor fails to comply with these conditions, safety regulations or reasonable instructions, the Organiser may require it to remedy the breach immediately.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of a serious breach, safety risk or repeated non-compliance, the Organiser may, without prior notice of default:<\/p>\n<p>a. suspend activities;<br \/>\nb. remove materials or have them removed;<br \/>\nc. deny individuals access;<br \/>\nd. withdraw badge or registration facilities;<br \/>\ne. close the stand;<br \/>\nf. terminate the participation in whole or in part.<\/p>\n<p>Termination due to a breach attributable to the Exhibitor does not entitle the Exhibitor to a refund and does not affect its payment obligations.<\/p>\n<p>Any reasonable costs incurred by the Organiser to remedy a breach or repair damage may be charged to the Exhibitor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 26 \u2013 Complaints<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Complaints concerning the stand, facilities or organisation of the Event must be reported to the Organiser as soon as possible during the Event, allowing the Organiser an opportunity to provide a solution.<\/p>\n<p>If a complaint cannot be resolved during the Event, the Exhibitor must submit it in writing, stating the reasons for the complaint, no later than fourteen calendar days after the Event.<\/p>\n<p>A complaint does not suspend the Exhibitor\u2019s payment obligations.<\/p>\n<p>Failure to submit a complaint on time may result in the Exhibitor no longer being entitled to rely on that complaint, insofar as legally permitted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 27 \u2013 Communications and Amendments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Notices and declarations between the parties may validly be communicated by email.<\/p>\n<p>The Exhibitor must ensure that the Organiser always has its current contact and invoicing details.<\/p>\n<p>The Organiser may amend or supplement practical guidelines where necessary for the safe and proper organisation of the Event.<\/p>\n<p>Changes affecting the material commercial content of the agreement will be communicated to the Exhibitor in writing.<\/p>\n<p>The Organiser may amend these Terms and Conditions of Participation for future registrations. An agreement already concluded will remain subject to the version accepted when it was concluded, except for necessary amendments resulting from legislation or government regulations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 28 \u2013 Severability and Waiver<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If any provision of these conditions is found to be wholly or partially void, voidable or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.<\/p>\n<p>The parties will replace the invalid provision with a valid provision that reflects its purpose and economic intent as closely as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The Organiser\u2019s failure or delay in exercising a right does not constitute a waiver of that right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 29 \u2013 Governing Law and Competent Court<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every application, registration, agreement and legal relationship between the Organiser and the Exhibitor is governed exclusively by Dutch law.<\/p>\n<p>The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute through mutual consultation.<\/p>\n<p>Any dispute that cannot be resolved through mutual consultation will be submitted exclusively to the competent court of the Amsterdam District Court, insofar as this choice of forum is legally permitted.<\/p>\n<p>This choice of law does not exclude any mandatory Belgian or European provisions that remain applicable because of the location or nature of the Event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 30 \u2013 Language and Final Provision<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These Terms and Conditions of Participation may be made available in multiple languages.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of any discrepancy in interpretation or content, the Dutch-language version will prevail unless mandatory law provides otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Any provisions which, by their nature, are intended to remain in effect after the agreement expires or is terminated will survive.
