If your online payment is rejected, you are recommended to log in to the registration form in EventsAir again and try to complete the registration and payment process again.

Nothing in these terms shall limit or exclude Cochrane’s liability for death or personal injury caused by Cochrane’s negligence or any other liability which legally cannot be limited or excluded.

The liability of Cochrane in the event of cancellation of the Global Evidence Summit 2024 is limited to the value of any refunds due under these terms and Cochrane shall not be liable for any other loss, cost or expense incurred by delegates or their organisations arising from or in connection with the cancellation. Delegates or their organisations are advised to take out comprehensive insurance, including travel insurance.

General

You must comply with the terms and conditions of the GES 2024 venue and any other requirements of the venue, including any health and safety requirements.

If a court invalidates part of these terms, the rest will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.

Even if Cochrane delays in enforcing this contract, Cochrane can still enforce it later. Cochrane might not immediately contact you regarding you not doing something you are required to do (such as paying your registration fee on time), or you doing something you are not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean Cochrane can't do so later.

These terms shall not be enforceable by a third party as defined in the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

These terms are governed by English law and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts, save that, if you are a consumer (under consumer laws), you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident and nothing in these terms affects your rights as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions of local law.
