The website of the conference contains also the conditions of cancellation; you are requested to read them carefully. Let us call your attention to the fact that the services ordered through the online registration system, their consideration as well as the most important conditions found on the website of the conference (e.g., conditions of cancellation), further, the order placed by the Participant and its confirmation all make part of the present General Terms and Conditions and are thus also part of the electronic contract.
