These terms and conditions govern visitors’ registrations for and attendance at exhibition/Events (each a “Exhibition/Event”) hosted by Vethan Concepts Limited (VCL) (referred to as “we/our/us”), a trading division of the Vethan Concepts Group Limited (VCL). A complete list of entities within the VCGL is available upon request.
As a possible visitor to an Event (referred to as “you/your”), please read these terms and conditions carefully because they contain critical information. By completing your registration and/or attending an Event, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. By accepting these terms and conditions, you also agree to our Event Code of Conduct.
- Your registration (whether done directly by you or on your behalf) constitutes an offer to VCGL to attend the Event subject to these terms and conditions. VCGL accepts all registrations. If your registration is received prior to 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, it will be deemed confirmed unless we notify you otherwise. If your registration is only received at the Event, it will be confirmed by VCGL act granting you access to the Event. VCGL has the right not to accept any registration.
- VCGL reserves the right to change the format (including, but not limited to, 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 at any time without notice. VCGL retains the right to withdraw any registration after confirmation, without liability.
- Except as expressly stated in these terms and conditions and/or as otherwise expressly advised as part of the particular Event’s registration process: (a) your registration for the Event is irrevocable, and you have no right to cancel your registration; and (b) any registration fees you have paid will not be refunded for any reason.
- VCGL has the right to cancel or change the date(s) of the Event at any time and for any reason (including those beyond our reasonable control). If the date(s) of the Event are changed to new date(s) within eight (8) months of the originally scheduled opening date of the Event, or if the Event is cancelled but is reasonably expected by VCGL 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 (with no refunds for any paid registration costs). If all or part of the Event is cancelled and is not reasonably expected by VCGL to be held in the next calendar year, then your registration will no longer be deemed to be valid for the Event (or the cancelled portion of the Event, as applicable), and, at your election, any paid registration fees for the Event (or the cancelled 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 additional registration fees for the Event (or the Event’s cancelled section, whichever applies). Service charges are not refundable. Personal arrangements, including but not limited to travel and lodging, are at your own responsibility, and VCGL will not be liable for any costs associated with such arrangements, even if the Event is cancelled or rescheduled for a different date(s). You understand and agree that the provisions of this paragraph are your sole recourse in the Event of cancellation or change of the date(s) of the Event, and VCGL further liability is explicitly prohibited.
- Our Events, whether live or virtual, are primarily aimed at business executives. Without limiting the foregoing, we encourage parents to be with their wards under the age of sixteen and below during executive conference, workshops and exhibition. VCGL reserves the right at any time to restrict entry to such areas.
- VCGL reserves the right, without liability, to refuse admission to, or 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 VCGL’s opinion, represents a security risk, nuisance, or annoyance to the operation of the Event. You undertake to follow any reasonable directions issued by VCGL, the venue owners, security personnel, and/or management at the Event.
