If the Participant does not exercise their right to participate in the Forum, which right was vested in the Participant at the time of registration, the Organiser shall not be obliged to reimburse the Participant for any amounts paid by the Participant under the Participation Contract. To avoid any doubts, it is explicitly stated that in the case specified in the previous statement, the Participant shall pay the Organiser the whole amount under the Participation Contract.
The payment due to participation in Forum shall be made in advance via wire transfer or online by credit card or e-transfer through PayU.
If the Participant fails to make the payment due within the time limit as provided for in the Rules or makes the payment in the amount lower than required, the Organiser may withdraw from the Participation Contract signed with such Participant who is in default with their payment, without setting a new deadline.
Once the Participant makes the payment for participation in the Forum, the Organiser may issue an invoice thereto in compliance with legislation in force.
§4. Identifiers authorizing to enter the Forum Change of data of the Participant
Name identifiers for the registered representatives of the Participant issued by the Organiser authorize such representatives to enter the Forum and include the following details:

b. business of the Participant.
The name identifier may be collected at the reception of the Forum, in person only, upon presentation of a proof of identity including a photograph.
The Participant may change the data of their representatives in the Forum, who were previously mentioned in the Form, according to the principles specified in the following sentence. The data of the representatives of the Participant, i.e. the name, surname and position of a given representative in the organisational structure of the Participant may be changed within maximum 7 (seven) days prior to the date of the Forum. To change the data, it is required to send appropriate information to the following email address: support@evigo.com.

In each case, to enter the area of the Forum, the Participant shall present a proof of identity including a photograph, which confirms authenticity of their personal data included in the name identifier. The persons who fail to abide by the above-mentioned rules shall have to leave the Forum and their identifiers shall be revoked. The Participant shall not be entitled to seek any claims, directly or indirectly, due to the fact that their representative lost the right to further participation in the Forum as a result of having the identifier cancelled by the Organiser.
The aforesaid name identifiers may not be given during the Forum to any third parties (other than those to whom such identifiers have been issued). If such case is ascertained, the identifier shall be revoked and the Participant shall not be entitled to seek any claims, directly or indirectly, due to the fact that their representative lost the right to further participate in the Forum as a result of having the identifier cancelled by the Organiser.
The Partner is an entity that ordered the Forum Partner advertising package in compliance with the terms and conditions outlined by the Organiser (including the time limit set by the Organiser). The order specifies the parameters of the stall (its size and initial location) or the scope of advertising services offered by the Organiser as well as the number of representatives of the Partner in the Forum.
The order mentioned in sec. 1 above should be signed by a person authorised to represent the Partner. A scanned copy of the order should be sent within the time limit set by the Organiser for placing the order to the following email address: support@evigo.com.
The submission of the signed order shall be deemed to mean the assignment of all services and payments related thereto to one entity listed as the ordering party. It means that all services and payments shall be invoiced solely to the ordering party. Any amendments made after the submission of the signed order shall be possible only on the basis of the assignment contract. The preparation of such contract entails additional costs of PLN 500 net, which shall be borne by the ordering party.
The Partner shall settle all payments to the Organiser in accordance with their amount and payment schedule as stipulated in the order. If the Partner fails to make the payment due within the time limit as provided for in the payment schedule defined in the order or makes the payment in the amount lower than required, the Organiser may withdraw from the Participation Contract signed with such Partner who is in default with their payment, without setting a new deadline.
The Partner acknowledges and accepts the fact that the Organiser may unilaterally change the location of the Partner’s stall and hence the size of the surface of the stall, subject to the fact that such surface may not be reduced and its change may not increase the costs due from the Partner to the Organiser resulting from the participation of the Partner in the Forum unless the Partner gives their consent. In case of changed location of the stall of the Partner, the Organiser shall inform the Partner, within maximum 7 (seven) days prior to the beginning of the Forum, about the final location of the stall of the Partner and potential costs that need to be paid to the Organiser with relation to such changes.

The representatives of the Partner shall be entitled to receive identifiers authorising to enter the Forum in the number as specified in the order. The Partner represents that they agree to the publication of the data of the Partner’s representatives by the Organiser (name, surname, position in the organisational structure of the Partner’s contracting party, business of the Partner) on the list of the Forum Partners, in particular in the meeting arrangement system.
The provisions of § 4 of the Rules shall apply to the identifiers mentioned in sec. 8 above.
The method of presentation of the company and commercial offer of the Partner may not violate any applicable provisions of law or disturb the presentations of other Partners, in particular it means that the stall structure should be safe for people and property and should be in compliance with effective norms and provisions. The stall structure that is higher than 2.2 m (two and two-tenths metres) must be covered with neutral material intended for neighbouring stalls and passages subject to prior consent of the Organiser.
If the Partner does not exercise their right to participate in the Forum, which right was vested in the Partner as a result of fulfilment of the requirement stipulated in sec.1, the Organiser shall not be obliged to reimburse the Partner for any amounts paid by the Partner under the Participation Contract.
