SECTION 2 - GENERAL CONDITIONS

  • These are the terms and conditions which apply to all conference and events, managed organized or executed by World Agility Forum (hereinafter called WAF Conference(s)), and form an agreement between you and us. We will not file a copy of our agreement with you. These terms and conditions are available in the English language only.

  • By booking WAF Conferences, you accept these terms and conditions. You should read them carefully before making a booking. We recommend you save a copy of them for your future reference.

  • You acknowledge that the venue, timings, speakers, and program of any WAF Conference are subject to reasonable changes.

  • The unauthorized use of photographic and recording equipment (physical or virtual) is prohibited at any WAF Conference.

  • If you cancel your WAF Conferences booking or do not attend the event, the event fee will not be refunded after 30days of the date you bought the ticket (paid or not)

  • Please ensure you take care of your personal possessions during any WAF Conferences as The WAF cannot accept any liability for them.

  • Filming and photography may take place at all WAF Conferences. You consent to your image and likeness being used in marketing and films without any payment to you.

  • For the safety of all attendees, WAF Conferences are ‘weapons free’ and all conference participants, including staff, volunteers, and attendees, are banned from possessing any object or substance intended to cause injury to others, including but not limited to firearms.

  • WAF Conferences are committed to creating an environment where everyone can participate without harassment, discrimination, or violence of any kind. All meeting participants must be treated with respect and consideration. Registration for the conference is considered an agreement to abide by this code of conduct.

  • Harassment of any participant (attendee, speaker, volunteer, exhibitor, staff member, service provider, organizer, or meeting guest) will not be tolerated. Unacceptable behavior includes (but is not limited to) unwanted verbal attention, unwanted touching, intimidation, stalking, shaming, or bullying.

  • Discrimination on the basis of gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, race, religion, national origin, or ethnicity will not be tolerated. Harassment presented in a joking manner is still harassment and constitutes unacceptable behavior. Retaliation for reporting harassment is also unacceptable, as is reporting an incident in bad faith.

  • WAF Conferences do not claim or guarantee that any papers will be published by any specific publisher or index. Publishers or organizations can decline to publish conference proceedings that do not meet their quality standards.

  • WAF Conferences do not claim or guarantee that any papers will be indexed in any database. Indexing services evaluate conferences and independently determine what they will index.

  • Authors are expected to attend (virtual or in-person) the conference to present their papers and share their ideas. WAF Conferences can exclude or limit the distribution of any paper that was not presented at the conference.

  • In order to comply with sanctions imposed by the UN, EU, US, and any local authorities, we cannot accept payments or registrations from the Crimea region of Ukraine, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Belarus, Lebanon, and Yemen.
