11. Limited Grant of Rights

1. 11.1. The Exhibitor's rights concerning the Exhibition and the Package are strictly limited to those specified in this Agreement.

However, the Exhibitor must immediately comply if the Organizer requests the removal of the advertisement at any time and for any reason. The Exhibitor is not permitted to (i) build a website explicitly related to the Exhibition, or (ii) promote an affiliation with the Exhibition and/or the Organizer, except as explicitly stated in this Agreement or with prior written consent from the Organizer. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting the Exhibitor any right, permission, or license to use or exploit the intellectual property rights of the Organizer or any member of the Organizer Group.

12. Changes to the Exhibition

1. 12.1. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Application Form, the Organizer reserves the right to reasonably change the format, content, location, Venue, opening hours, dates, and/or the various time-related components comprising the Exhibition at any time. If the aforementioned changes are made, this Agreement remains binding on both parties, provided the Organizer amends the Package as it deems necessary.

13. Cancellation and Rescheduling by the Organizer

1. 13.1. The Organizer reserves the right to cancel or change the dates of the Exhibition at any time, for any reason (including but not limited to situations where the Organizer deems holding the Exhibition illegal, impossible, or impracticable due to Force Majeure Events).
2. 13.2. If the Exhibition is rescheduled to dates within twelve (12) months from the originally scheduled Opening Date, and/or if the Exhibition is canceled but the Organizer reasonably determines that it will be held again the following year (or, for biennial or triennial events, within the year of the next equivalent cycle), this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The obligations of both parties shall apply to the new Exhibition schedule in the same manner as they applied to the originally scheduled Exhibition. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Article 13, Section 2 waives the Participation Fee in relation to the payment terms specified in the Application Form.
3. 13.3. If the Exhibition is canceled and/or it is not reasonably determined that it will be held the following year (or, for biennial/triennial events, within the next cycle's year), at the Exhibitor's option, they will either receive a partial refund of the fees already paid or a Credit Note for the amount paid. Any obligation to pay the remaining Participation Fee will be waived, and this Agreement will be terminated without any further liability.

2. 14.2. If the Application Form explicitly allows cancellation by the Exhibitor, except where the Organizer has the right to terminate this Agreement under Article 15, Section 1, the Exhibitor may cancel the Package by sending a written notice to the Organizer. If the Exhibitor gives notice of cancellation, the Exhibitor must pay a cancellation penalty as specified in the Application Form. The relevant date for determining the cancellation penalty is based on the originally scheduled Exhibition start date prior to any rescheduling, not the new date modified under Article 13, Section 2.

15. Termination

1. 15.1. The Organizer may immediately terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Exhibitor without legal liability if: (i) the Exhibitor breaches its obligations under this Agreement and any contracts between the Exhibitor and any member of the Organizer Group, and (even if remediable) fails to remedy the breach within 14 days from the date of written notice of the breach (or within the time necessary to remedy it before the Exhibition start date or to provide the Package as scheduled); (ii) the Exhibitor goes bankrupt, enters liquidation or administration by creditors, is subject to receivership, dissolution, insolvency, debt restructuring agreements, or similar events, resulting in the restriction of property rights; or (iii) the Exhibitor is convicted of a criminal offense or acts in a way that harms the reputation of the Exhibitor, the Exhibition, and/or the Organizer.

If terminated under this section, the Exhibitor acknowledges and agrees that the refund of the amount paid is their sole remedy, and all other liabilities of the Organizer are expressly excluded.
3. 15.3. Upon termination of this Agreement, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies, the Organizer has the right, without incurring any liability, to temporarily suspend or deactivate the Exhibitor's and its personnel's access to the Exhibition, the website, and all Materials.
