DGPPN Congress 2009 – English Programme
General Conditions for Congress Participants
The DGPPN has commissioned CPO HANSER SERVICE with the organisation
and execution of the congress. Registration for the congress and
confirmation thereof forms a contract between the congress attend ee and
the DGPPN regarding attendance at the congress and events of the
DGPPN Academy. This contract is based on the following General Terms
and Conditions.
Registration fees for the DGPPN Congress and the DGPPN Academy
Attendance at the congress and events of the DGPPN Academy are subject
to cost. The events of the DGPPN Academy will take place within the
framework of the DGPPN Congress. A separate registration fee will be
charged for these events in addition to the congress fee.
Registration for the congress and booking of services are binding for the
attendee.
The fees must be paid in advance on the dates specified. Any bank charges
will be charged to the payer.
Cancellation of Congress Attendance
In the event that you cancel your attendance at the congress and events
of the DGPPN Academy for Continuing Medical Education by 14 September
2009, the registration fee minus a handling fee of 25% will be refunded.
The attendee will have the option to demonstrate that the expenditure
for processing is less than 25% of the registration fee. No refund
will be made if cancellation is made at a later date. Please notify the congress
office of your cancellation in writing.
Programme Changes
The DGPPN reserves the right to make any necessary changes to the
programme at short notice.
There will be no refund, full or partial, of registration fees for cancelled
papers or changes to the programme.
Changes to the Programme of the DGPPN Academy for Continuing Medical
Education
In the event that workshops fail to take place due to cancellations by
speakers, the registration fees for these workshops will be refunded. This
will not apply – not even on a pro­rata basis – if the workshops are taken
over by speakers other than those initially specified.
Loss of Name Badge
The full registration fee must be paid to acquire a new name badge in the
event that the name badge, which at the same time entitles the holder to
attend the congress, is lost. If the attendee is later able to produce the
newly acquired and the previously lost name badge, the registration fee
most recently paid will be refunded.
Liability of the DGPPN
The DGPPN is the organiser of the scientific congress. It is liable within
the scope of the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Its liability –
regardless of the legal cause – is limited to cases of gross negligence and
wilful misconduct. The DGPPN is, however, also liable for slight negligence
if and to the extent that cardinal obligations under the contract are
breached.
