4. Performance and reservation of right of withdrawal
We reserve the right to make changes to the content or timing of the event program and the speakers. We are entitled to withdraw from the contract if an economic realization of the event is not possible due to an insufficient number of exhibitors, sponsors or participants. This also applies in the case of other reasons, apart from those mentioned under 4.a, which do not lie within the area of responsibility of the organizer. In this case we will inform all participants immediately. All payments already made will be refunded immediately. Further claims of the visitors are excluded, unless the organizer is guilty of intent or gross negligence.
4.a If a restriction declared by the federal or state level applies to the event period, which makes the implementation of the event impossible, the contract is subject to the resolutory condition that
– the holding of the event would be prohibited one month before its contractually agreed start due to governmental measures on the occasion of the Corona pandemic.
The decisive factor is the prohibition on holding any events on the above-mentioned cut-off date; it is irrelevant whether the event is feasible on the agreed date [example: the condition subsequent occurs if an event planned for 01.10.2020 could not take place on 01.09.2020 due to a general ruling].
In case of termination of the contract due to the occurrence of the above mentioned condition, Silicon Saxony e. V. receives 15 % of the agreed remuneration as processing fee.
