Liability Policy

Participants are required to comply with the rules and regulations governing the applicable venues and accommodation as well as the local laws. Any fines will be paid by he attendee(s) who breached the rules or laws. You are in charge of your property that is brought onto or left at the venues. IAESTE Norway, nor the Connect Region, nor the organizing team, bear any responsibility for the potential loss of or damage to personal property due to third parties.

The participants shall indemnify the organization, and keep the organization indemnified for any costs, losses or damages that the organization pays to the venues, accommodation or any other supplier connected to the event following (i) any breach by any of the attendees of the relevant rules and regulations relating to the venue or accommodation; (ii) any damage done to that venue or accommodation or any equipment thereon by any of the participants, including, but not limited to, any equipment provided for the event; and (iii) any injury suffered by any person, animal or item caused by or in consequence of any act or omission of any of the participants.

The participant shall indemnify the organization if the organizing team deems it necessary to call an emergency service and the participant is unable to respond, but on arrival of said service, the participant decides not to use it.

Subject to the other provisions of this Policy, the organization only will be liable to participants for proven direct losses suffered due to the negligent acts or omissions of the organization and the organization’s liability for these proven direct losses is limited in total to the amount paid by the participant to the organization for the relevant event. The organization expressly excludes any liability for any property damage or loss incurred at any time during the event.

The organization shall not be liable (whether such liability arises due to negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation, or otherwise) for any direct losses or damages not stated above or for any indirect or consequential losses or damages howsoever arising. This shall include, but not be limited to, (and whether direct, indirect or consequential) loss of use or any profit, business, or data or any loss of use or damage suffered by any participant as a result of an action brought by a third party, even if such loss was reasonably foreseeable or the organization had been advised of the possibility of the participant incurring the same.

Nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to limit or exclude any liability which the organization is not able to limit or exclude by law including, but not limited to, liability for any fraudulent misrepresentation and/or for any death or personal injury caused by its negligence.

Participants must put in place appropriate insurance to cover any costs, liabilities or other losses that they may suffer or incur arising out of these terms and conditions (including the indemnity above), any cancellation of any event for any reason or arising out of their inability to attend the event for any reason (including any reason beyond their control). Participants acknowledge that the organization shall not be liable for any costs or losses arising due to such cancellation or inability to attend, save to the extent expressly set out in these terms and conditions, and therefore it is their responsibility to ensure they have appropriate insurance.
