14th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology

Austropa Interconvention acts solely as an agent and cannot be held responsible for any loss, injury, or damage to persons or property, regardless of the cause. The liability of the companies or individuals providing transportation or other services remains unaffected. Austropa Interconvention cannot be held liable for the partial or complete cancellation of the congress, or for any change in its date. In the event that the congress is cancelled or rescheduled by the congress organiser, Austropa Interconvention shall not be liable for any costs incurred or disadvantages suffered, including consequential losses, resulting from such cancellation or change of date.

Both parties shall be released from their contractual obligations under this Agreement in cases of “force majeure.” Events deemed to constitute force majeure include: war, occupation, riot, strike, complete breakdown of public utilities, and complete suspension of air traffic (except for weather-related or strike-related reasons), provided that the hotel and its operations are directly affected.

In the event of a cancellation or change of date of the congress, as well as in cases of force majeure, all expenses already incurred—particularly processing and administrative costs—shall be charged to the company/contractor.

The accommodation provider may offer guests suitable alternative accommodation (of equivalent quality), provided that this is reasonable for the guests—especially when the difference is minor and objectively justified. Such justification may include situations where rooms become unusable, previously accommodated guests extend their stay, the property is overbooked, or other important operational circumstances make a change necessary. Any additional expenses arising from such substitute accommodation shall be borne by the hotel.

For all disputes arising from this Agreement, both contracting parties expressly submit to the court having subject-matter jurisdiction in Vienna, which shall be the exclusive venue. Austrian law shall apply.
