5.2 Access to the conferences is in principle free, except in cases where access is restricted by specific conditions or where access is limited to persons with a personal invitation. Customers are always invited to check on the Website whether prior registration is necessary to attend certain conferences. Access to events shall be subject to availability.

6.2. The purchase of 2-day Passes is only available on the Website. No other website publisher is authorized to sell 2-day Passes, regardless of the type of pass. The Organizer cannot be held liable if Customers are unable to access the Event due to purchasing 2-day Passes from a non-partner online merchant. Similarly, the Organizer shall not be liable in the event of on-the-fly purchases from resellers. Participants are therefore invited to keep the receipt for their 2-day Passes.

7. Cancellation or refund

7.1. The Customer has a right of withdrawal up to 15 (fifteen) business days before the Event.

7.2. The 2-day Passes are personal and non-transferable.

7.3. Postponement of the Event by the Organizer. If the Event is postponed by the Organizer for reasons beyond its control, 2-day Passes shall not be refunded but shall remain valid for the new date set for the Event. Customers are therefore asked to retain their proof of purchase and/or Pass. Furthermore, no compensation shall be paid by the Organizer.

7.4 Changes in the organization of the Event due to an event beyond the Organizer’s control. Customers are informed and accept that certain changes to the organization of the Event may be decided by the Organizer. Among these changes, the programs, speakers, themes, format and dates of the Event may be changed and may require substitutions, changes, postponements or cancellations, particularly with regard to the content, speakers, venue, timing or dates of the Event. The Organizer reserves the right to do so at any time without being liable to the Customer for any costs they may have incurred or for the refund of the 2-day Pass. The Organizer may decide to change the venue of the Event if external constraints oblige it to do so. In this case, as long as the Event is still taking place in Île-de-France, the 2-day Pass shall not be refunded and no compensation shall be paid by the Organizer.
If the Event is postponed or cancelled for reasons other than those mentioned in 7.3 and 7.4, the 2-day Pass shall be transferred to the following year’s event, unless a refund is requested by the Customer within 6 months of the announcement of the postponement or cancellation.
The Organizer shall endeavor to inform the Customer as soon as possible of any cancellation, postponement or change by publishing updated information on the Website.
Illness (even in the case of a COVID-19 positive or contact case), the court-ordered or out-of-court liquidation of the Customer, the failure to obtain a visa or any other document that may be necessary, and more generally the inability of a Customer to access the Event for any reason whatsoever, may not give rise to the refund of 2-day Passes or any compensation from the Organizer.

8. Force majeure

The Organizer shall not be liable for any breach of these General Terms and Conditions, nor for any delay or failure to perform these General Terms and Conditions where such breach or delay is due to a case of force majeure as defined by Article 1218 of the French Civil Code. Consequently, and without this list being exhaustive, the following cases of force majeure preventing access to the Event or the holding of the Event shall release the Organizer from its obligations: adverse weather conditions, strikes, riots, terrorism and the implementation of associated government measures, for example the Vigipirate plan (French national security alert system), war, acts of God, a pandemic, the threat of an imminent risk to the safety, health or security of persons and property. 2-day Passes shall not be refunded and no compensation shall be paid by the Organizer.

9. Health and safety measures

If the Customer is unable to access the Event due to non-compliance with the health and safety instructions and/or protocol required for entry to the site hosting the Event, they shall not be entitled to a refund of the price of their 2-day Pass or to claim any compensation whatsoever. Consequently, it is the Customer’s responsibility to check, in particular by consulting the Website, which health and/or safety obligations must be complied with in order to gain access to the venue of the Event. The Customer must strictly apply the health and/or safety rules for the duration of the Event, which are available on the Website. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that the Organizer cannot be held liable for any damage caused by failure to comply with the health and/or safety rules.
Furthermore, the Client is informed and accepts that an identity check and a check of personal belongings shall be carried out by the security team assigned to the reception of the Event. If the Customer refuses to undergo these checks, they may not take part in the Event, the 2-day Pass shall not be refunded and no compensation shall be paid by the Organizer.
For safety reasons, it is strictly prohibited to bring in weapons, explosive, flammable or volatile substances, bottles, containers, sharp or blunt objects and generally any object likely to be used as a projectile, any dangerous object, signs and banners of any size of a political, ideological, religious or advertising nature. Any offender shall be held responsible and liable to prosecution. In addition, any person who violates this prohibition or is likely to cause a disturbance to the organization of the Event and/or to the safety of property and persons and/or to the health of persons shall be immediately excluded. No refund of the 2-day Pass or compensation for the person concerned shall be due.
The Organizer reserves the right to amend or change the health and/or safety measures without prior notice.

10. Decent behavior and anti-harassment policy

The Event brings together the best players in innovation to bring about positive change in companies and society. The Event must be safe, respectful and enjoyable for all. Participants are therefore required to comply with this policy, which is based on the principles of courtesy and respect. They must behave in a professional and appropriate manner in order to avoid any prohibited behavior.
The Organizer prohibits actions or behavior that have an impact on the safety and well-being of a participant, including the promotion of any criminal or violent activity, harassment, or stalking; inappropriate language and/or physical contact and unwanted sexual intent; behavior or actions considered threatening.
Such behavior is strictly prohibited. If the Customer engages in such behavior, the Organizer may take any action it deems appropriate, including expulsion of the offender from the Event without refund, the temporary or permanent suspension of access to the Event without prejudice to any legal claim the Organizer may make. If the Customer observes or witnesses any unprofessional or inappropriate behavior while attending the Event, they should contact the Event staff and/or report it to the Organizer immediately. The Organizer shall take all concerns raised seriously and deal with incidents in the strictest confidence.
