Terms and conditions

Registration Terms and Conditions

Registration fees are based on the registration category, the date of receipt of the registration form and payment. The prices indicated are per person and are only applicable if both the registration form and the payment are received before the deadlines mentioned. Please note, if you have not paid before the due date Euroheat & Power reserves the right to invoice you with the higher fee if a registration deadline has passed in the meantime.

Euroheat & Power will be performing membership and category audits on the registration lists at various intervals. Should a registrant be in the wrong category, their category will be adjusted to reflect the accurate pricing and category. No refunds are available for registering in an incorrect category or missing to enter a discount code and withdrawing registration as a result of this correction.

The online registration form serves as a contract between the participant and Euroheat & Power.

Please note that entrance to the event is assured only upon receipt of registration fees. Euroheat & Power reserves the right to refuse admission to registered participants whose payment is not settled.

Confirmation

Upon completion of your online registration, you will be sent a confirmation by email including the payment status. The confirmation is sent to the address provided on the registration form.

Invitation letter for visa application

Attendees must have registered and paid the required registration fees before requesting an official letter of invitation. All requests should be sent by e-mail to [email protected].  Foreign participants should contact the French Embassy or Consulate in their home country to determine their particular Visa requirements. Please note that the organisers will not be able to assist participants with their Visa application and cannot intervene with Embassies or Consulates on behalf of any participant.

Please note that the Visa letter only aims at assisting participants who need to obtain a Visa or permission to attend the congress and it is not a commitment from the organisers to cover any kind of expenses or to provide any financial support. All expenses incurred in relation to the congress remain the sole responsibility of the participant.

VAT

French VAT is applicable on the registration fees (20%). As stated in the new article 53 of Directive 2006/112/EC, the supply of registrations is subject to VAT applicable in the country where the event is taking place, even when supplied to taxable persons. The VAT charge is therefore applicable to all participants (everyone, entrepreneur or not, valid VAT registration number or not, customer located within the EU or outside of the EU, all must be charged local VAT). In most cases, this paid VAT can be claimed back, if the client’s valid VAT number is mentioned on the invoice. For more information, please check with your tax office or accounting department. If applicable, please fill out your company’s VAT number in the corresponding section on the registration form. Euroheat & Power reserves the right to amend this charge should the VAT rule or rate change.

For EU companies to apply VAT directives and in order to avoid any complications, please make sure your VAT number is officially recognised by the EU Taxation and Customs Union office: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vatRequest.html. Should your company not be VAT registered or your EU VAT number not be recognised by the EU site mentioned above, the VAT amount will still be added to your invoice and won’t be refundable. Euroheat & Power cannot be held responsible for any problem you may encounter related to VAT refund.

Invoice

Only digital versions (PDF) of invoices will be sent to participants after completion of your online registration and payment. In accordance with the EU regulation dated 13/07/2010 (please refer to the explanatory note of the EU), which has come into effect on 1 January 2013, we can only issue invoices after the payment has been received or completion of the event.

The invoice issued will use the billing details provided on the registration form so please make sure you have provided us with the correct information (company name, address and VAT number if applicable).

If Euroheat & Power are unable to determine the validity of a VAT number, we will have to issue the invoice without your VAT number. In this case your company can’t claim VAT.

Cancellation & refund policy

Any cancellation of registration should be communicated in writing to Euroheat & Power by e-mail to [email protected] or by fax to +32 2 740 21 19.

Congress registration cancellations will be subject to a Euro (€) 75 cancellation fee (plus VAT) until 28 February 2019. After that date, no refunds or exceptions will be made. All refunds will be processed after the event.

Extra Dinner tickets are non-refundable. No exceptions will be made.

Name changes

No Show

Without providing proper notice, another delegate might be prevented from participating in specific sessions, site visits and other congress activities. Therefore, Euroheat & Power reserves the right to charge a fee of Euro (€) 95.00 for all missed activities a person registered for (“no shows”) and sessions which, absent a compelling reason, are not cancelled with a 72-hour advance notice. “No Show” fees will be billed to the registrant. By registering, you acknowledge that you have received this notice and understand this policy.

Insurance

The registration does not include insurance of any kind. Euroheat & Power will not accept any responsibility or liability for injuries or losses sustained as a result of any cancellations, accidents, illness or other occurrences that may arise in connection with the congress or its side and evening events. It is strongly recommended that participants take out insurance to cover loss (including registration fees) incurred in case of cancellation, medical expenses and damage to or loss of personal effects.

Data protection

The personal information that you provide will be kept in a database managed by Euroheat & Power (EHP). We may occasionally use your details strictly in connection with other EHP events. To opt out of receiving such information please tick the relevant “opt-out” box when receiving undesired emails. Photographs/pictures, presentations, audio and video recording of speakers and participants of this event may be taken. They will be reproduced in various media including  Euroheat & Power publications, the website, social networks, TV and the printing press, in connection with the event, or for further cultural and institutional purposes as well as for promotional activities of Euroheat & Power. A participant wishing that his/her image or voice is not recorded and published, for compelling and legitimate grounds relating to your particular situation, is required to contact [email protected]. The organiser will accommodate the participant’s needs, if possible. If supervisory authorities or data subjects have any questions regarding processing issues, please note that the EU representative mandated is the Cvent local office in London with over 100 employees that will serve as a point of contact.
