SECTION A – GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLYING TO A PASS

BOOKING A PASS

  1. You may request a Pass by completing the online order form and submitting it via the My Orders section of your My Account area.

  2. All requests for a Pass are subject to availability. If you have completed your order request correctly in accordance with these terms and conditions; (ii) there is availability; and (iii) you have either:

    1. made the requisite pre-payment; or
    2. provided us with credit/debit card details and authorisation to deduct payment; or
    3. confirmed in the online order form that you wish to pay for your Pass via bank transfer,

    then a confirmation email will be sent to you within 5 working days from receipt of your order request. Our sending of a confirmation email is acceptance of your order (“Acceptance”) and creates a binding contract (a “Confirmed Order”). Save as expressly set out in these terms and conditions, you have no right to cancel or revoke a Confirmed Order. If there is no availability, we will send you an email within 5 working days from receipt of your request informing you that this is the case (an “Order Rejection”). Passes will not be issued unless and until payment for the Pass is received in cleared funds.

    All purchases of Passes are final, and no refunds are permitted. No resales of purchased Passes are permitted.


PRICES AND PAYMENT

  1. Prices are set out on www.dubailynx.com/ (the “Website”). Payment may be made in AED or USD (or such other currency as stipulated on the Website) by (i) credit or debit card; (ii) bank transfer. If you are paying by credit/debit card, payment must either be made, or credit/debit card details and authorisation to deduct payment given, at the time you submit your order form. If you are paying by bank transfer, you must make this clear at the time you submit your order form and payment must be made in full immediately following submission of an online order and otherwise in accordance with these terms and conditions. Please inform us at the time of your request if you require an invoice in respect of your order. Invoices only refer to the currency in which payment has been made.

  2. Prices may change from time to time. If the price of a Pass increases or decreases before you receive a Confirmed Order, we will notify you and ask you to confirm whether you wish to proceed with your order based on the revised price.

  3. All prices are:

    1. exclusive of sales taxes (including, but not limited to VAT at 5%, which is applicable to all customers); and
    2. subject to local taxes (where appropriate), which cannot be deducted from any payments due.

    All invoice amounts must be paid in full, free of any deductions (including but not limited to withholding taxes and/or bank charges). You shall make all payments without withholding or deduction of, or in respect of, any tax unless required by law. If any such withholding or deduction is required, you shall, when making the payment to which the withholding or deduction relates, pay to us such additional amount as will ensure that we receive the same total amount that we would have received if no such withholding or deduction had been required. You may, in certain circumstances, be able to reclaim VAT from your local tax representative. We do not refund VAT.

  3. A single user name and password must be used by each user, and not made available to multiple users (i.e. no sharing of user names and passwords). Breach of this Clause 21 shall be considered a material breach of these terms and conditions.


DATA PROTECTION

General: Ascential agrees that it will take appropriate technical and organisational measures against the accidental, unlawful or unauthorised processing, destruction, loss, damage or disclosure of personal data (as defined by applicable laws) received or used in fulfilling its obligations under these terms and conditions. 

  2. Privacy Policy: Further information about how Ascential uses personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy and our Cookies Policy.

  3. Communications: We will use email addresses provided to us (and you shall be responsible for ensuring that each of your delegates consents to the same) to send delegates important Festival information, including but not limited to speaker announcements, programme updates and invitations to special events that we believe will enhance their Festival experience. All delegates will have the option to opt out of communications. In agreeing to attend the Festival, you acknowledge that Ascential will share your personal information with (i) the Dubai Government, via our registration supplier Evento, in order to comply with local laws and regulations; and (ii) our Festival partner, Motivate Publishing FZ LLC.

  4. Dubai Lynx delegate listing: To further enable networking among delegates at the Festival, we may share details you have provided to us such as your name, job title, company name and country or city where you are based (the "Delegate Information") with other delegates, third parties and sponsors via our secure networking service in the official Dubai Lynx Festival mobile application (“Dubai Lynx App”).

  5. You are in control: Delegates' may choose for their email addresses and telephone numbers to be made public through the delegate listing via the Dubai Lynx App. If a delegate chooses to message another delegate, the message will be sent from the delegate's profile. If a delegate chooses to reply, further communication will continue through the delegates' chat function. All delegates can opt out of networking on the Dubai Lynx App through the App settings once the App has gone live. Their Delegate Information will no longer be visible on the delegate listing. After the Festival, the delegate listing will be discontinued and all Delegate Information will be removed from the Dubai Lynx App.

  6. Reservation of rights: Ascential reserves the right to deny access and remove any delegates from the delegate listing for inappropriate use. You agree to use the delegate listing respectfully and solely to network, exchange ideas and contact details where appropriate.


CHANGES TO THE FESTIVAL, NAME CHANGES AND CANCELLATION POLICY

  1. We reserve the right to (a) alter the advertised format, date, timing, content and/or location of the Festival; or (b) to cancel the Festival, in each case at any time. Where we change the format, date, timing, content or location of the Festival, your Pass for the Festival will be valid for the Festival as altered. You will not be entitled to a refund and we shall not be liable to you for any other cost or other expenses (including, without limitation, wasted costs and expenses) incurred by you as a consequence (including, without limitation, travel and accommodation expenses).

  2. Notwithstanding any other provision of these terms and conditions, if we determine that it has become commercially impractical or unfeasible to hold the Festival, we will notify you in writing as soon as reasonably practicable, and your Pass will be transferred to the next edition of the Festival. We reserve the right to do this at any time and we shall not be liable to you for any other cost or other expenses (including, without limitation, wasted costs and expenses) incurred by you as a consequence (including, without limitation, travel and accommodation expenses). Save as expressly set out in these terms and conditions, you have no right to cancel or revoke a Confirmed Order.

  7. It will be possible to request a Pass upgrade (e.g. from a ‘Full Delegate Pass’ to a ‘Full Delegate Pass + Awards Seat’), from the “My Passes” section of your “My Account” area of our Website (subject to availability of Awards Seats). Additional fees will apply to Pass upgrades. It will be possible to request a Pass downgrade (e.g. from a ‘Full Delegate Pass + Awards Seat’ to a ‘Full Delegate Pass’) by emailing delegates@dubailynx.com; however, no refunds or credit for the current or future Festivals will be given for Pass downgrades.

  8. If you do not know the name of the delegate(s) attending at the time of booking, you can still register the delegates without providing their details before midnight GST Tuesday 27 February 2024.

You grant us a licence (which means permission) to use, edit, reproduce, record, modify, enhance, encode, translate, distribute, play, perform, make available to other users, prepare derivative works of and display your image and/or your contribution to the film or your photograph (your "Contribution") (with or without advertising and sponsorship) by any media or methods whether now known or later developed. This licence may be exercised in our sole discretion throughout the world at any time.

  2. You agree that this licence is perpetual (which means it lasts forever); royalty-free (which means we won’t pay for the permission either now or in the future); and transferable (which means we can transfer the licence to others). You agree that we can sub-license this licence (which means we can grant an equivalent permission to others that may include, without limitation, our group companies and advertisers or sponsors). You irrevocably and unconditionally waive, in respect of your Contribution, all moral rights to which you may be entitled and any broadly equivalent rights in any territory of the world. This waiver is made in favour of us but shall also extend to our sub-licensees, assignees and successors in title.
