X2 Virtual Conference

These terms and conditions apply to visitor registrations for, and attendance at, events (each an “Event”) organised by One Monocle (referred to as “we/our/us”), which is a trading division of the X2 Group. The parent company of the X2 Conference is X2 Group. A full list of entities within the X2 Group is available on request.

As a potential visitor to an Event (referred to as “you/your”), please read these terms and conditions carefully as they contain important information. By submitting your registration and/or by attending an Event, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1. Your registration (whether submitted directly by you or on your behalf) constitutes an offer by you to X2 Group to attend the Event in accordance with these terms and conditions. All registrations are subject to acceptance by X2 Group. If your registration is received in advance of the Event, it will either: (a) be confirmed in writing (including, without limitation, by email), or (b) if written confirmation is not sent within fourteen (14) days of us receiving your registration, be deemed to be confirmed unless we notify you otherwise. If your registration is received only at the Event itself, it will be confirmed by the act of X2 Group permitting you entrance to the Event. X2 Group reserves the right to refuse to accept any registration.

2. Your registration is issued for your personal use only. You may not sell or otherwise transfer your registration to others.

3. X2 Group reserves the right at any time to change the format (including, without limitation, from a physical Event to a virtual Event and vice versa), content, location, venue, opening hours, duration, dates, other timings, participants and/or any other aspect of the Event, in each case without liability. X2 Group reserves the right to withdraw any registration after confirmation without liability.

4. Save as expressly set out in these terms and conditions and/or as may be otherwise expressly advised as part of the particular Event’s registration process: (a) your registration for the Event is irrevocable and you have no rights to cancel your registration, and (b) any registration fees you have paid will not be refunded for any reason.

5. X2 Group reserves the right to cancel or change the date(s) of the Event at any time and for any reason (whether or not due to causes beyond our reasonable control). In the event that the date(s) of the Event is changed to a new date(s) that are within twelve (12) months of the originally scheduled opening date of the Event, or where the Event is canceled but is reasonably expected by X2 Group to be held at any time in the next calendar year, then, unless we notify you otherwise, your registration will be deemed to be valid for the Event on the new date(s) or when it is next staged (as applicable) in the same way that it would have applied to the originally scheduled Event (and no refund of any paid registration fees will be issued). Where all or part of the Event is canceled and is not reasonably expected by X2 Group to be held in the next calendar year, then your registration will no longer be deemed to be valid for the Event (or the canceled portion of the Event, as applicable) and, at your election, any paid registration fees for the Event (or the canceled portion of the Event, as applicable) will be refunded or a credit note issued for the same, and you will be released from paying any further amount of registration fees for the Event (or the canceled portion of the Event, as applicable). Service charges are non-refundable. Personal arrangements, including, without limitation, travel and accommodation, are at your own risk and X2 Group will not be liable for any costs relating to such arrangements, even if the Event is canceled or moved to a new date(s). You acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this paragraph set out your sole remedy in the event of cancellation or the changing of the date(s) of the Event and all other liability of X2 Group is hereby expressly excluded.

6. Our Events, whether physical or virtual, are principally directed at business professionals. They are generally not intended for children under the age of sixteen (16). Without limitation to the foregoing, there may be some areas of our Events where it is inappropriate or impractical for children under the age of sixteen (16) to be present (for example, during executive conference workshops) and X2 Group Markets reserves the right at any time to restrict entry to such areas accordingly.

7. X2 Group reserves the right without liability to refuse admission to, or to eject/block from, the Event (whether physical or virtual) any person in its absolute discretion, including (without limitation) any person who fails to comply with these terms and conditions or who, in the opinion of X2 Group, represents a security risk, nuisance or annoyance to the running of the Event. You agree to comply with all reasonable instructions issued by X2 Group, the venue owners, security personnel, and/or management at the Event.

8. All unauthorised filming, sound recording, and photography of the Event, and all unauthorised transmission of audio or visual material at the Event, by you, is expressly prohibited. You agree: (a) to surrender to X2 Group or destroy on demand any material in whatever media recorded in violation of this paragraph, (b) that the copyright and other intellectual property rights in any such material shall vest in X2 Group unconditionally and immediately on the creation of such material, and (c) to hold X2 Group and all entities within the X2 Group (as well as any employees or other representatives of the same) harmless against any claims made in respect of such unauthorised activities.

9. You consent to filming, sound recording, and photography at the Event, which may include, without limitation, filming, sound recording, and photography featuring your image (the “Content”). You acknowledge and agree that X2 Group is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights in the Content and hereby waive any and all: (a) rights in and to such Content, and (b) claims that you may have relating to or arising from the Content and/or its use. Without limitation, X2 Group shall be permitted to use the Content anywhere in the World for promotional and other purposes, without any payment or compensation.

10. The personal information that you provide to X2 Group will be held by us on a database and, where we have appropriate authorisation/justification (which may include, without limitation, express/implied consent or legitimate interests), may be shared with other entities within the X2 Group and selected third parties internationally for promotional and other purposes. Your personal information may also be shared with government entities and regulatory authorities as required by law. At some Events, exhibitors and sponsors may use lead capture applications or barcode scanner devices. If you choose to allow your badge (whether physical or digital) to be scanned by third parties at the Event, we may pass your personal information to such third parties. Further, there may be certain areas of the Event at which your attendance is conditional on your personal information being provided to third parties that have sponsored or are managing such areas. The use that any third parties make of your personal information is outside of X2 Group’s control and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept any liability in this regard. For more information about how we may use the personal information you provide to us please see our Privacy Policy.

You hereby agree that you will not permit others to use your username or password and you will be and remain liable for the acts of any person using your username and password, (d) any posts, messages or other materials, information, or data you supply or upload to the Event Platform (collectively, “Materials”) will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary, and we have the right to use, copy, distribute and disclose to third parties any such Materials for any purpose. You hereby waive any moral rights in any Materials to the extent permitted by applicable law. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to edit or remove postings to any message boards on the Event Platform and delete or use electronic methods to block or filter any Materials at our discretion, but we do not have any obligation to do so. You shall not make libelous postings or any postings that are illegal or infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. X2 Group will not be responsible for monitoring Materials for compliance with the law, (e) you may use the Event Platform solely for access to the Event.
