1. Who these terms are with
The Next IT Security events and this website are run by Grand IT Security, Regeringsgatan 93, 111 93 Stockholm, Sweden, company registration number 559522-2802, trading as Next IT Security (“we”, “us”). Grand IT Security decides who is admitted, sets the programme, and is responsible for the event itself.
Partnership packages are invoiced by one of our two Belgrade companies:
- Capital Summits d.o.o., Durmitorska 20, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia, company registration number 21739596, tax identification number 112788645
- Techbook Digital, Bulevar Vudroa Vilsona 21, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia, company registration number 66057356, tax identification number 112370010
The seller for any purchase is the company named on the invoice for that purchase. Section 4 sets out what that means for payment and for the law that applies.
By using this website, by applying to attend, or by attending one of our events, you accept these terms.
2. Using the website
You may use this website to learn about our events, to apply to attend, and to enquire about partnership. You may not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of it, interfere with its operation, or extract its content by automated means for commercial purposes.
We keep the site accurate but do not guarantee that it is free of error, and we may change or withdraw any part of it. What the site says about programmes, speakers and dates is described further in our Disclaimer.
3. Attendance is free, and by invitation
Our events are closed. Delegates attend free of charge, and places are reserved for senior executives at organisations that buy IT security, not for organisations that sell it.
You apply through the form on this website. Submitting an application does not by itself entitle you to attend; a place exists once we confirm it in writing. We may decline an application without giving reasons, and in particular where the applicant is not in the audience the event is intended for.
A confirmed place admits one named person to the edition it was confirmed for. It is not transferable except under section 5, and it is not valid for any other edition.
Taking part means the partners of that edition receive the six fields set out in our Privacy Policy. You can ask to be left off that list at any time and still attend; section 11 says how.
If you accept a place and do not attend without telling us, we may decline future applications from you.
4. Partnership: price, invoicing and payment
Partnership packages are agreed in a written partnership agreement for the edition concerned. That agreement sets out the package, the fee and what is delivered. These terms cover everything the agreement does not; where the two disagree, the signed partnership agreement prevails.
Prices are quoted in euro and are exclusive of value added tax. VAT is charged where it is due, at the rate and under the rules applying to the company that issues the invoice. Payment is due on the terms stated on the invoice, and delivery of the package depends on it.
Your contract of purchase is with the company named on the invoice. That contract, and any dispute about payment, is governed by Serbian law, and the courts of Belgrade have jurisdiction. Everything else in these terms — admission, conduct at the event, the programme, delegate data and our liability for the event — is governed by Swedish law under section 16.
5. Cancellation, and sending someone else
Delegates. There is nothing to refund, because attendance is free. If you cannot come, tell us as early as you can, and you may pass your place to a colleague at any time up to three working days before the event, provided the replacement meets the same admission criteria and we approve them in the same way. Tell us the replacement’s name, job title and business email address. Badges are produced in advance, so a change made fewer than five working days before the event may mean a handwritten badge.
Partners. Cancellation is governed by the signed partnership agreement. Where that agreement is silent, the following applies to a cancellation notified to us in writing:
- more than 30 days before the event — the fee is refunded, less an administration fee of 10% of the package price
- between 30 and 14 days before — 50% of the fee is refunded
- fewer than 14 days before — no refund, but the package may be moved to the next edition of the same series at our discretion
Refunds are made to the account the payment came from, by the company that issued the invoice.
6. Changes to the programme
Speakers, sessions and timings are indicative and may change. A change of speaker or session is not grounds for a refund. If the venue changes, we tell you as soon as we can and your place, or your package, remains valid.
7. If we cancel or postpone
If we cancel an edition, a partner may choose between a full refund of the fee paid and a credit valid for any edition within the following twelve months. If we postpone, the package is valid for the new date; a partner who cannot attend it may take a refund instead.
Beyond that we are not liable for travel, accommodation or other costs anyone may have incurred. We recommend that you take out travel insurance.
8. Conduct at our events
Our events depend on candour between people who compete with each other, and that only works if it is not abused. By attending you agree that:
- discussions held under an agreed confidentiality are not repeated or published outside the room;
- you will not use the event to sell to other attendees, unless you are attending as a partner and doing so in the way agreed with us;
- you will treat attendees, speakers, staff and venue personnel with respect.
We may refuse admission to, or remove, anyone who does not. For a partner, removal on those grounds does not give rise to a refund.
9. Badges and badge scanning
Your badge carries a short code. A partner may scan it to record that you met, and receives the details listed in our Privacy Policy. If you have asked to be left off the partner list, a scan of your badge returns no personal data. Badges are personal and may not be lent or exchanged.
10. Photography and filming
We photograph and film our events and use the material to promote future editions. Tell us at registration if you would rather not appear and we will accommodate it. Attendees may not film or record sessions without our written permission and the speaker’s.
11. Delegate data
What a partner receives about a delegate, what it never receives, and how a delegate can be taken off the list without losing their place, are set out in our Privacy Policy and in our GDPR and Data Protection statement. A partner that receives a delegate list is an independent controller of it and is bound by the data clause in its partnership agreement.
12. What belongs to whom
The content of this website, our event materials, and the names and logos Next IT Security and Grand IT Security belong to us or to those who licensed them to us. You may quote short extracts with attribution. You may not reproduce our materials commercially, or use our name or logo to suggest a relationship that does not exist.
Speakers keep the rights in their own presentations. Where we make a presentation available to attendees, it is for their own use.
13. Other people’s content and websites
We link to websites we do not control, and our events feature speakers whose views are their own. A link, a partnership or a speaking slot is not an endorsement. See our Disclaimer.
14. Our liability
We provide the event and the website with reasonable care and skill. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Otherwise our liability arising from your attendance or your use of this website is limited to the amount invoiced to you for the edition in question, and we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business or loss of opportunity. Where nothing was invoiced — as for a delegate — our liability is limited to the direct loss you can show.
Nothing in these terms affects the rights a consumer has by law.
15. Force majeure
We are not in breach of these terms if we cannot hold an event because of something outside our reasonable control — including the closure of a venue, a transport failure, an act of a public authority, or a public health restriction. In that case section 7 applies.
16. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by Swedish law, and the courts of Stockholm, Sweden have jurisdiction, except for a contract of purchase under section 4, which is governed by Serbian law with the courts of Belgrade having jurisdiction.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, neither choice deprives you of the protection of the mandatory law of your own country, or of the right to bring proceedings there.
We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG). That does not affect your right to go to court.
17. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The version in force when your place is confirmed, or when your invoice is issued, is the version that applies to it.
