Warranty and Liability
UKSG reserves the right to alter or vary an event programme due to occurrences or circumstances beyond its reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies and it accepts no liability for any loss, inconvenience or disappointment arising therefrom.
The delegate accepts that it is their responsibility to verify that the event is suitable for their requirements and that they have the necessary level of competence to be able to achieve the stated objectives, if any, of the event.
UKSG’s liability for loss and damage shall be limited to a claim for damages. The maximum aggregate liability will be the charges for the event out of which the loss or damage has arisen. UKSG will not be liable for indirect, special or consequential loss (including but not limited to loss of anticipated profit or data/travel/accommodation costs), howsoever arising, even if it has been advised of such potential loss.
Delegates attend all events at their own risk. UKSG accepts no liability for any loss, theft, damage or injury suffered by a delegate. Delegates should ensure they have adequate insurance cover.
Cancellations
UKSG reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any event for any reason, including when an event does not achieve the minimum number of participants to render the event practicable/viable, and will advise delegates with as much notice as possible before the date of the event. Although rare, cancellations may occur at short notice due to unforeseen circumstances. UKSG will use all reasonable endeavours to avoid occurrences of this nature. When this is unavoidable UKSG will offer a full refund of the event fee, although pre-paid travel and accommodation costs and any other additional expenses incurred cannot be refunded.
