General Terms and Conditions for Events of Knightsbridge Academy

GENERAL PROVISIONS

By completing the electronic (online) registration or registering by any other means for an event (“Event”) organised and/or promoted by Knightsbridge Academy Limited (“KBAC”), a company registered in England, United Kingdom, a binding contract (“Contract”) is formed between the participant and KBAC (or the relevant Event organiser). This Contract is subject to these General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”). By completing the electronic (online) registration or registering by other means, the participant confirms that they have read, understood, and accepted these GTC.

LIABILITY DISCLAIMER

Alteration of Programme

The Event programme is accurate at the time of publication by KBAC. However, KBAC reserves the right to amend, modify, or remove items from the programme, adjust the schedule, or make other changes at its sole discretion and without prior notice. KBAC also reserves the right to postpone or cancel an Event.

KBAC, its management, organisers, and any third parties involved in the Event shall not be liable, whether in contract or tort (including negligence), for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, damage, loss of profit, or inconvenience incurred by a participant as a result of such amendments, modifications, postponement, or cancellation.

Breach of Contract and Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, KBAC, its management, organisers, and any third parties involved in the Event exclude all liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise. In particular, they shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience arising from the non-performance or improper performance of the Contract, except in cases of fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct.

Force Majeure

KBAC, its management, organisers, and any third parties involved in the Event shall not be deemed to be in breach of contract or liable for any delay or failure in performance where such delay or failure results from an event beyond their reasonable control (a "Force Majeure Event"). Force Majeure Events include, but are not limited to:

Acts of God
Natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, storms, etc.)
War, insurrection, or civil unrest
Acts of terrorism
Governmental actions, embargoes, or restrictions
Epidemics or pandemics
Fire, strikes, or industrial disputes
Any event considered as Force Majeure under international practice

In the event of cancellation due to Force Majeure:

The participant shall not be entitled to a refund of the registration or application fee, or any similar fees.
If the Event is postponed due to Force Majeure and the participant is unable or unwilling to attend on the rescheduled date, they shall not be entitled to a refund.

DATA PROTECTION & PRIVACY

KBAC and/or the Event organiser handle all personal data in compliance with UK data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

To register for a congress, course, training, or other educational activity or Event, KBAC collects, stores, and processes participants’ personal data. Such data is used exclusively for Event planning and execution. Personal data will only be shared with third parties where strictly necessary for organisational purposes (e.g. hotels, venue operators).

Unless a participant explicitly opts out during registration, KBAC may send information regarding similar events in the future.

CANCELLATION POLICY

All cancellations must be submitted in writing to the Event registration office (contact details available on the Event website) or to the official legal email address of Knightsbridge Academy.
