14. Force majeure
The obligations contained herein shall not be applicable or shall be suspended if their execution has become impossible due to a case of force majeure.
Force majeure shall be understood as any event or incident at a local, national or international level, that is independent of the will of the parties, and is not reasonably foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of this contract. Such an event or incident would make it impossible to perform the obligations of all the parties or involves risks or disturbances that would likely seriously affect or endanger the organization and smooth running of the event and/or the safety of goods and persons. Such events or incidents would include but are not limited to fire, cyclone, storm, earthquake, nuclear incident, epidemic, pandemic, political, economic or social event, attacks (non-exhaustive list) as well as the cancellation or postponement of the Event for one of the causes set out in this article.
Consequently, in the case that the Event is held in a particular state of world health or environment resulting from the existence of a pandemic or epidemic. Any sudden and/or significant aggravation or propagation of the origin of the pandemic or epidemic which could not be reasonably foreseen in relation of the health & safety measures imposed by the authorities governing the place or location where the Event is planned to take place, that could provoke a decision by the administrative authorities or by the national authorities or any governmental bodies that, directly or indirectly imposes measures that cause the cancellation or postponement of the Event or making it necessary to cancel or postpone the Event in order to guarantee the safety of the participants, bnetwork will not be held responsible for any damage, loss, costs, claims or expenses of any kind.
The same shall apply to any decision by any administrative authority, national or any official governmental bodies that has not been reasonably foreseeable and not resulting from an activity by bnetwork, directly or indirectly imposing the cancellation or postponement of the Event.
15. Limitation of liability
The congress and/or bnetwork will not be responsible for the loss or damage whatsoever including any to any property left in the hotel or accommodation.
The congress will not be liable for any indirect, consequential or pure economic loss or any loss of profit, goodwill or opportunity (whether caused by the negligence of the congress, its employees, contractors or agents or otherwise). bnetwork’s total liability shall not exceed the value of the accommodation paid under the terms.
Nothing contained in these terms or in any other document referred to or incorporated in it shall be read or construed as excluding any liability for death or personal injury caused by the congress’ negligence or liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
18. Governing law and jurisdiction
The terms and any non-contractual obligations arising in connection with it are governed by English law. The English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to determine any dispute arising in connection with the terms, including disputes relating to any non-contractual obligations.
Each party irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or later have to proceedings being brought in the English courts (on the grounds that the English courts are not a convenient forum or otherwise).
19. Entire agreement
These terms constitute the entire agreement between the congress, bnetwork and delegates in relation to the booking system operated by bnetwork for booking accommodation to attend the congress.
