General Terms and Conditions
SQL Konferenz
PASS Deutschland e.V.
1. Scope and Applicability
The following General Terms and Conditions for Events apply to all services and offers related to the SQL Konferenz event. PASS Deutschland e.V., Otto-Hahn-Str. 22, 65520 Bad Camberg (hereinafter referred to as “PASS”), acts as the event organizer in cooperation with e-team Veranstaltungsorganisation GmbH, Siemensstr. 8, 24118 Kiel (hereinafter referred to as “e-team”). PASS and e-team are hereinafter collectively referred to as “event organizers.”
2. Pricing and Payment
The participation fee is due upon receipt of the invoice, prior to the start of the event. All prices are net amounts; statutory value-added tax is applicable in addition. The participation fee does not include additional costs such as travel or accommodation.
3. Cancellation by Participants
Participants may cancel their registration in writing at any time (text form is sufficient). For cancellations received up to 14 days before the event, a processing fee of 25% of the participation fee will apply to cover incurred costs. Cancellations made after this period will be billed at the full attendance fee. Participants may designate a substitute attendee at any time before the first event day by providing written notice with the substitute’s details.
4. Event Cancellation by Organizers
The event organizers reserve the right to cancel the event for economic or organizational reasons, including but not limited to insufficient participant numbers, unavailability of speakers or venues, or force majeure. In this case, the event organizers will refund any paid participation fees. No further claims by participants exist, including for travel or accommodation fees.
5. Event Modifications
The event organizers reserve the right to replace or cancel individual lectures or content, or to adjust the content as long as it does not materially affect the event. Changes to the event location, date, or speaker are also reserved. Participants will be informed immediately of significant changes, unless such changes are minor.
6. Right to Reject Registrations
The event organizers reserve the right to decline any registration without stating a reason.
7. Usage of Event Materials
All presentations and materials distributed during the event are protected by copyright and may not be reproduced or distributed without the express written consent of the event organizers.
8. Liability
The event organizers are liable only for damages caused by intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the event organizers, their legal representatives, or agents. This limitation does not apply to liability for injury to life, body, or health, or for breach of essential contractual obligations and under product liability law. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is necessary for achieving the purpose of the contract and on which the participant relies. In the case of a breach of essential obligations, liability is limited to foreseeable damages typical of such contracts, provided there was no intentional or gross negligence, except in cases of injury to life, body, or health.
The event organizers are not liable for the accuracy or completeness of event materials, presentations, or publications and assume no liability for any consequential damages due to incomplete or incorrect event content.
9. Data protection
Details regarding data protection are available on the event website at sqlkonferenz.de/data-protection-cookies/
10. Final provisions
These Terms and Conditions and the contractual relationship between the Event Organizers and the participant are governed by German law, excluding its conflict of law provisions and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the business relationship between the Event Organizers and the participant is the registered office of PASS in Bad Camberg.
