In the case of a cardinal duty violation, both parties are accountable both for intent and or wanton negligence.

In the case of the individual those explicitly include the timely installments agreed to as well as any agreements related to events hosted, organized or supported by PIRATEx. PIRATEx’s duties include amongst others the access to the events and providing the means to carry out workshops and presentations in the course of events by PIRATEx.

For purposes of this clause, a fortuitous event shall include, but not be limited to: war, fire, labour strike, extreme weather or other emergency. Please note that while speakers and topics are confirmed at the time of publishing, circumstances beyond the control of the organisers may necessitate substitutions, alterations or cancellations of the speakers and/or topics. As such, PIRATEx reserves the right to alter or modify the advertised speakers and/or topics if necessary without any liability to you whatsoever. Any substitutions or alterations will be updated on our web page as soon as possible.
Both parties agree to good conduct, mutual respect and loyalty in good faith as of §242 BGB (German Civil Code). Both parties agree that reputation and prestige of PIRATEx, especially Pirate Summit & EXEC-events, are especially worthy of preservation by both contractors. Those compliance duties persist even after the individual’s involvement with PIRATEx.
If one of the parties violates this compliance agreement and the other party suffers from a damage because of this violation, the inflicting party is accountable as §4 – 1 of these Terms.

If there is a good reason, PIRATEx as well as the individual may terminate the contract or withdraw from the contract. A good reason is considered as given if there is a violation of a cardinal duty present or there is a violation of the compliance agreements as in §§9,10.
If a party chooses to terminate the contract, they can request any damaged occurred to be made up for.
The place of jurisdiction is Cologne (Germany).
If any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by a body of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be construed, limited or, if necessary, severed to the extent necessary to eliminate such invalidity or unenforceability. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith a valid, enforceable substitute provision that most nearly effects the parties’ original intent in entering into this Agreement or to provide an equitable adjustment in the event no such provision can be added. The other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
