Limitation of Liability in Relation to the Congress
The IFAC 2014 National Organising Committee reserves the right to cancel IFAC 2014 without notice or compensation in the event of any delay, default, failure or cancellation of implementation of any deliverable to or for the IFAC 2014 Congress which has been caused, directly or indirectly, by any incident of “force majeure”. For the purposes hereof, the term “force majeure” shall mean any incident, circumstance or cause which renders delivery of the IFAC 2014 Congress substantially or totally impossible or impracticable and which is beyond the control of the IFAC 2014 National Organising Committee. The term shall include but not be limited to the following:

In such circumstances, the IFAC 2014 National Organising Committee and the IFAC 2014 Congress Organisers are hereby indemnified and shall not be liable to any delegate, supplier or other service provider for any loss or damage save that the IFAC 2014 National Organising Committee shall only be liable to reimburse the relevant party such amounts as may actually have been received by the IFAC 2014 National Organising Committee BUT AFTER deduction of any costs that have been reasonably incurred by it up to the point of cancellation in preparing the Congress.

The IFAC 2014 National Organising Committee and the IFAC 2014 Congress Organisers shall not be responsible for any theft, breakage, destruction or damages of any kind whatsoever and howsoever caused to personal and/or business items of delegates, accompanying persons, children, or other attendees.
