Principles for fee structures, rulings for setting fees and the Role of Bars and Law Societies

GENERAL CONDITIONS

All registrations received by the International Association of Lawyers (UIA – Union Internationale des Avocats) will be confirmed in writing. If you have not received an email confirmation within 48 hours after your registration, please contact the team at uiacentre@uianet.org.

The UIA reserves the right to cancel or postpone the capsule to a later date, change the programme, make any corrections or modifications in the information published in the programme and cancel any invitation to participate in the capsule, at any time and at their entire discretion, without having to provide any reasons for the same.
Neither the UIA, nor any of its managers, employees, agents, members or representatives shall be held responsible for any loss or damage, of any nature, suffered (directly or indirectly) by a delegate, accompanying person or a third party following any cancellations, changes, postponements or modifications.

The contractual relations between the UIA and each participant (delegate) in relation to the capsule are subject to French law and jurisdiction, to the exclusion of any other law. Paris is the city of jurisdiction.

FILMING, PHOTOGRAPHY AND SOUND RECORDING
In registering for our events, delegates and speakers grant permission to the UIA, its agents and others working under its authority, to film, record or photograph at its events. It is understood that these recordings and photographs may be used for promotional, news, online/multimedia and/or marketing purposes for the promotion of the organisation and its events. If you wish to be excluded from any recording or photograph, please email us at uiacentre@uianet.org at the time of your registration.

FORCE MAJEURE
“Force majeure” means any events external to the parties, of both an unforeseeable and insurmountable nature that prevents either the client or the participants, or the agency or service providers involved in organising the seminar, from executing all or part of the obligations provided for in the present agreement. By express agreement, such will be the case in the event of a strike affecting the means of transport, hotel staff, air traffic controllers, an insurrection, a riot or any prohibition whatsoever decreed by governmental or public authorities.

It is expressly agreed that for the parties, a case of force majeure would suspend the execution of their reciprocal obligations. At the same time, each of the parties shall bear the burden of all the expenses incumbent upon them, resulting from the case of force majeure.
