Data protection
Reference to participation list
By participating in the event, you agree that we may publish your data mentioned in the following brackets (first name/last name, company/city/organisation, city, country) in a participation list, including on the congress website, and also pass them on to our sponsors. If you do not agree to this, you can object to the publication and/or forwarding of your data in writing to the congress office.
pcma gmbh, Crellestraße 21, D-10827 Berlin, Germany, Email: bugg@pcma.de.
All other data collected in the course of registration will be used exclusively for the preparation, implementation and follow-up of the event for which you have registered, if necessary also with the involvement of external service providers. Further information on data protection can be found on the congress website www.bugg-wordlcongress2026.com.
Information about photos, video recordings and audio recordings
We indicate that photos, film recordings and/or audio recordings may be taken as part of the event. These recordings are associated with the visual depiction of people present, whereby the selection of people is random. The images are shown on the Internet (e.g. on the organiser’s website or the congress website), in printed media and on social media channels. By entering the event venue, the persons present consent to free publication in the aforementioned manner without this requiring the affected persons to be notified explicitly. If, on an individual basis, the affected persons do not consent to publication concerning their person, we ask that the responsible photographer or camera operator be notified directly.
If the affected person should not consent to an existing, specific publication of a photographic depiction of their person, we ask for immediate notification to our congress office at pcma gmbh by e-mail, telephone or by post with the precise description of the image under discussion. In this case, the image will be removed within a reasonable period of time, if possible, and will not be published further.
The organiser prohibits any photo, film or sound recordings by participants in both the face-to-face and online events (e.g. via mobile phone, camera or screenshot), as unauthorised recordings constitute copyright infringements by the speakers.
Further terms and conditions
If the conference cannot be held or cannot be held in the offered and booked form for reasons that are not attributable to the organiser or the performing agency (e.g. Natural disasters, strike, pandemic or force majeure), there is neither a claim to a refund of the (proportionate) participation fees nor to compensation for other damages or financial losses.
We indicate that the organiser is only liable for claims for physical injury due to intent or negligence and for material damage due to intent or gross negligence of the organiser. No further claims can be made. The organiser is not liable for the loss or theft of any items and motor vehicles brought to the event, except in the event of intent or grossly negligent causation.
No guarantee is made for programme changes and timing alterations for events. The organiser reserves the right to reschedule or relocate events or parts thereof (seminars etc.). This also includes the cancellation of individual items in the programme.
This does not give participants the right to withdraw. No compensation claims may be made for this. The organiser commits to notify all those affected of any changes as soon as he becomes aware of them.
The organiser is also not liable for the attendance of announced speakers. In the event of cancellation, the participant does not have the right to compensation claims of any kind. The organiser will endeavour to resolve the situation with a suitable replacement. The current status of the speakers can be seen published online up to one week before the start of the event. Online amendments after this are no longer possible for technical reasons.
Furthermore, there is no right to compensation for defective, missing or incomplete publications in printed materials or on the congress website.
Should individual terms and conditions be invalid or unenforceable or become invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining terms and conditions. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision whose effects come as close as possible to the economic objective pursued by the contracting parties with the invalid or unenforceable provision. The above provisions shall apply accordingly in the event that the Terms and Conditions prove to be incomplete.
