Where an official invitation letter is required to support a visa application, the Organiser will, at its sole discretion and subject to eligibility criteria, provide such letter for confirmed and fully paid Delegates. The issuance of an invitation letter does not guarantee that a visa will be granted.
No refund of Fees shall be due in the event of visa refusal or delay. You may substitute a Delegate in accordance with Section 2.3, or, at the Organiser's sole discretion and subject to written agreement, apply the Fees paid against a future event organised by the Organiser.
ARTICLE 3: ATTENDANCE AND CONDUCT
3.1 Attendance at the Event
You acknowledge that the Organiser is not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, you or your Delegates' property during the Event. You shall procure that your Delegates do not cause any physical damage to the Congress Venue, the Organiser's property, or to the property of any other attendee of the Event (including any other Delegate, exhibitor, or sponsor). You are solely responsible for the cost of making good any such physical damage.
3.2 Compliance with Guidelines
You agree to comply, and to ensure that your Delegates comply, with any user, technical or operational information or guidelines relating to the Event and/or the Event Platform notified to you in writing (including by email), including without limitation any rules and procedures relating to health and safety, security, and general use of the Congress Venue and the Event Platform.
3.3 Refusal of Admission
You acknowledge that the Organiser may (acting reasonably) refuse admission to, block access to, or remove from the Event or the Event Platform any person who, in the Organiser's reasonable opinion, fails to comply with these T&C or places you in breach of these T&C, undertakes (or seeks to undertake) any unauthorised access to systems or content (including in respect of exhibitor, sponsor or other attendee content), damages property, or represents a security risk, safety risk, nuisance or annoyance to the running of the Event or the operation of the Event Platform, including any named Delegate notified to the Organiser in accordance with Section 2.3.
3.4 Unauthorised Recording by Delegates
You acknowledge that unauthorised photography and the recording or transmitting of audio or visual material by your Delegates at the Event or from any Live Streaming session is expressly prohibited without the prior written consent of the Organiser. Nothing in this Section 3.4 restricts the Organiser's own rights under Section 3.6.
3.5 Accuracy of Information
Whilst the Organiser will take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of any information provided to you relating to the Event, the Organiser gives no warranty or representation as to the accuracy or completeness of the information. Any inaccurate information provided to you in connection with the Event shall not entitle you to cancel your attendance at the Event, or to make any claim for refunds or otherwise against the Organiser.
3.6 Consent to Photography, Videography and Recordings
You acknowledge and agree that the Organiser, or third parties acting on behalf of the Organiser, may take photographs, videos and audio recordings at the Event which may include you or your Delegates (Event Content).

(d) sharing with accredited press and media covering the Event; and
(e) internal archival, educational and reporting use by the Organiser.
You acknowledge and accept that the use of Event Content for these purposes does not infringe or impair your or your Delegates' privacy rights. Where the Organiser wishes to use identifiable portraits, testimonials, quotes or dedicated interview footage of a Delegate for marketing purposes, the Organiser will obtain separate consent from the individual concerned.
If you do not wish for your image, likeness or voice, or that of a Delegate, to be used for the marketing purposes described above, or if you wish to request the removal of specific Event Content in which you or a Delegate appear, please contact the Organiser at congress.convening@worldenergy.org in accordance with the Privacy Policy. The Organiser does not operate an on-site opt-out mechanism (such as a no-photography lanyard) and will consider each request on a case-by-case basis. Speakers, panellists, moderators, VIPs and official delegations should note that, given their formal role at the Event, their images and contributions may be featured more prominently.
Photography, filming and audio recording of individuals under the age of 18 will not be used for marketing or promotional purposes without the prior written consent of a parent or legal guardian.
ARTICLE 4: LIVE STREAMING OF SELECTED SESSIONS
4.1 Availability
The Event is an in-person event. The Organiser may, at its sole discretion and when technically and operationally feasible, make selected sessions of the Event available via Live Streaming through the Event Platform. Live Streaming is not a substitute for in-person attendance, is not guaranteed for any session, and no separate Fee or refund shall be payable by reference to the availability or unavailability of Live Streaming.
4.2 Access and Credentials
Where Live Streaming is made available, access may be conditional on registration, payment of applicable Fees and the use of credentials issued by the Organiser. You acknowledge that any username, password or other access credential is confidential, remains the property of the Organiser, and must not be shared, assigned or transferred to any third party. You accept that you will remain liable for any acts carried out or omitted using those credentials issued to you or your Delegates. You must notify the Organiser immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use of the Event Platform or other breach of security.
4.3 Technical Capacity
You acknowledge that you and your Delegates are solely responsible for ensuring the technical capacity, connectivity and equipment required to access any Live Streaming session. The Organiser shall not be liable for any inability to access or view a Live Streaming session resulting from technical issues on your side, from third-party networks or from any temporary unavailability of the Event Platform.
4.4 No Recording or Redistribution
You shall not, and shall ensure that your Delegates do not, download, store, reproduce, transmit, display, copy, distribute, exploit or otherwise redistribute any Live Streaming session, or any content made available through it, other than as permitted by the Organiser in writing. You shall not use any Live Streaming session for your or your Delegates' own commercial gain, or in any manner other than in compliance with these T&C.
4.5 Event Platform Availability
You acknowledge that you and your Delegates are solely responsible for ensuring the technical capacity, internet connectivity and equipment required to access any Live Streaming session. The Organiser shall not be liable for any inability to access or view a Live Streaming session resulting from technical issues on your side, third-party network failures, temporary unavailability of the Event Platform, widespread telecommunications outages, Tier-1 internet service provider failures, or global cloud infrastructure disruptions. Any streaming disruption arising from such circumstances shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Ministry.
ARTICLE 5: DELEGATE MOBILE APPLICATION
5.1 Provision and Terms of Use
The Organiser may make the Mobile App available to Delegates in support of the Event. Use of the Mobile App is subject to a separate Mobile App Terms of Use, which you and each of your Delegates must accept before using the Mobile App. These T&C govern registration and attendance at the Event; the Mobile App Terms of Use govern use of the Mobile App itself, including its features, content and community rules; and the Privacy Policy governs the processing of personal data through the Mobile App.
5.2 Attendee Directory
Registered Delegates will be listed as attendees in the Mobile App attendee directory in line with the Privacy Policy, clause 5.3. The default profile will include a limited set of information such as full name, job title and organisation, and — where the Delegate provides it — photograph and biography. The attendee directory supports recognition, networking and lead-generation features at the Event.
5.3 Visibility Controls
Each Delegate may review and update their visibility settings at any time within the Mobile App. Visibility settings allow the Delegate to, among other things:
(a) hide or unhide their profile from the attendee directory;
(b) hide or unhide specific profile fields (such as job title, organisation, photograph or biography);
(c) opt in to, or out of, networking and matchmaking features, including chat, meeting requests and interest-based recommendations;
(d) control whether their contact details (such as email or telephone number) are shared with other Delegates or with sponsors and exhibitors following a connection or lead-capture interaction; and
(e) opt in to, or out of, session engagement features such as polling, Q&A and chat, where these permit identification.
5.4 Networking and Lead Generation
Where a Delegate connects with another Delegate, or accepts a meeting or contact request through the Mobile App, the Mobile App will share the profile information the Delegate has made visible with the other party. The networking feature can only share name, position, company, email and/or telephone number, subject to the Delegate's acceptance of the Mobile App Terms of Use.
Where a Delegate consents to a lead-capture interaction with a sponsor or exhibitor (for example by allowing a badge or QR code to be scanned at an exhibition stand, by accepting a meeting or by opting in to a sponsor session), the Delegate's name, job title, organisation and, where made visible in the profile, email address and/or telephone number will be shared with the relevant sponsor or exhibitor. Sponsors and exhibitors act as independent controllers of the lead data they collect and are responsible for their own subsequent use of that data, including any marketing communications sent to Delegates.
5.5 Withdrawal and Change of Settings
A Delegate may withdraw consent to networking, matchmaking and lead-generation features, and adjust their visibility settings, at any time through the Mobile App. Withdrawal will apply to future processing and will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal, nor will it require third parties who have already received the Delegate's data through a connection or lead-capture interaction to delete that data, which will remain subject to their own privacy notices.

6.5 Speaker Content
If any of your Delegates generate or produce Speaker Content:
(a) you hereby grant to the Organiser, and shall procure the grant to the Organiser, of an irrevocable, non-exclusive, freely-transferable, worldwide and royalty-free licence (with the right to freely sub-license), in accordance with Applicable Laws, to use, copy, distribute, reproduce, all intellectual property rights in the Speaker Content for any advertising, marketing or promotional materials relating to the Event or any other events held by the Organiser or its Affiliates or on the Event Platform.

(b) you warrant that the Speaker Content will not infringe the copyright or any other right of any third party or breach any contract or duty of confidence, data-protection law or the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law or other legislation relating to national security, or be inappropriate, obscene, defamatory or otherwise unlawful.
6.6 Online Content
Any posts, messages or other materials, information or data supplied or uploaded on the Event Platform (excluding personal data governed by the Privacy Policy and confidential information exchanged through the Mobile App under Section 5) will be considered non-confidential, and the Organiser shall have the right to use, copy, distribute and disclose such posts, messages or other materials, information or data to third parties for any purpose.

The Organiser will process the personal data of the Client and its Delegates for the purposes of delivering the Event, including registration, ticketing, accreditation, badging, communications, logistics, security, reporting and analytics, and where relevant for compliance with visa, immigration, health and safety and other legal requirements of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

You will pay the Organiser the Fees on the terms specified in the Booking Contract. All Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes and you shall pay a sum equal to the amount of any such sales or equivalent tax chargeable, in addition to the Fees.
8.2 Tax
You shall make all payments of the Fees without any deduction or withholding for or on account of tax (a Tax Deduction), unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. If a Tax Deduction is required by law, the amount of Fees due from you shall be increased to an amount which (after making the Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the Fees which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
8.3 Pricing and Discounts
The Organiser reserves the right to change the price of the Event at any time, but such changes will not affect Fees agreed in a Booking Contract. Discounts can only be applied at the time of registration and cannot be combined. Discounts for group registrations are only valid for the number of Delegates specified on the Booking Contract. If the number of Delegates that actually attend the Event is less than the number specified in the Booking Contract, the Organiser may (in its sole discretion) change the Fees payable by you to reflect the number of Delegates that actually attend, in line with published prices then in force. The Organiser shall not accept any request to apply discounts or promotions on Fees stated in the Booking Contract retrospectively.
8.4 Failure to Pay
If you fail to pay the Fees in full by the relevant due date specified in the Booking Contract, the Organiser may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have, either require such payments as a condition for your Delegates to enter the Event, or refuse their entry to, or block them from accessing, the Event.
For the avoidance of doubt, if a Delegate is refused entry or blocked from accessing the Event due to non-payment of the Fees in full, no refund shall be provided for any amount already paid, and the outstanding balance will remain due and payable.
ARTICLE 9: CHANGES, CANCELLATION AND POSTPONEMENT
9.1 Changes to the Event
The Organiser reserves the right, where reasonably necessary, to change the format, content or timing of the Event programme, the identity of any speakers or exhibitors, the availability of Live Streaming, or the Congress Venue, for any reason and without liability to you, provided that the Event as altered is similar to the Event as originally advertised. In such circumstances, the Fees shall remain payable in full to the extent not already paid, and the Organiser will not refund you for any proportion of the Fees or otherwise be held liable for any other costs or expenses incurred by you in connection with the Event.
9.2 Cancellation and Refund by the Client
Cancellations must be submitted in writing by email to registration@worldenergycongress.org (each, a Client Cancellation Notice).
Cancellation Fees and refunds are determined by reference to the date on which the Organiser receives the Client Cancellation Notice, as follows:
(a) Cancellations received up to sixty (60) days prior to the first day of the Event will be eligible for a refund of the Fees paid, less an administrative fee of USD 200 per pass purchased; and
(b) Cancellations received less than sixty (60) days prior to the first day of the Event will not be eligible for a refund. Any Fees paid shall remain due to the Organiser, and any unpaid balance shall remain payable in full.
If you are unable to attend and do not wish to cancel, you may transfer your registration to a colleague in accordance with Section 2.3.
Refunds, where due, will be processed after the Event to the original method of payment, within a reasonable period following the Organiser’s confirmation of the cancellation. Any bank charges, currency-conversion costs or third-party fees associated with the refund shall be borne by the Client.
9.3 Postponement or Cancellation by the Organiser
The Organiser reserves the right to postpone or cancel the Event at any time and for any reason during the Term, and will provide you with notice of any such postponement or cancellation in writing (including by email) as soon as is reasonably practicable in advance of the Event.
If the Organiser:
(a) postpones the Event (in which case you shall respond to the Organiser as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the postponement notice) and you can no longer attend the postponed Event, the Organiser will issue you with a credit note to the value of all Fees paid by you; or
(b) cancels the Event, the Organiser will issue you with a full refund of all Fees paid by you.
You acknowledge that the remedies described in this Section 9.3 are your exclusive remedies in the event of postponement or cancellation by the Organiser, and (to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws) in no event will the Organiser be liable for any loss, delay, damage or other liability incurred by you in connection with such postponement or cancellation, howsoever arising, including but not limited to your accommodation and travel costs.
ARTICLE 10: FORCE MAJEURE
10.1 Effect of Force Majeure
Neither Party (the "affected party") shall be in breach of these T&C nor liable for any delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under these T&C if such delay or failure results from a Force Majeure Event. In such circumstances, the affected party will use its reasonable endeavours to notify the other Party of the relevant circumstances and likely duration and consequences of the Force Majeure Event as soon as reasonably practicable. The time in which the affected party is required to perform under these T&C shall be extended by a period equivalent to the period during which performance of the affected party's obligation has been delayed or failed to be performed.
10.2 Organiser's Options
If a Force Majeure Event occurs (or in the Organiser's opinion, acting in good faith, is likely to occur) and results (or is likely to result) in the Event being unable to take place as contemplated by these T&C, the Organiser may, in its sole discretion:
(a) change the timing, date or Congress Venue of the Event, or the extent of any Live Streaming, provided that the Event as altered is similar to the Event as originally advertised. If the Organiser exercises this right, this shall not entitle you to cancel your participation in the Event, or to make any claim for refunds or otherwise against the Organiser. These T&C shall apply in respect of the rearranged or rescheduled Event; or
(b) cancel the Event, in which case the Organiser will issue you with a full refund, or a credit note to the value of all Fees paid by you. You acknowledge that such refund or credit note is your exclusive remedy in the event of cancellation by the Organiser under this Section 10.2, and in no event shall the Organiser be liable for any loss, delay, damage or other liability incurred by you in connection with such cancellation, howsoever arising, including but not limited to your accommodation and travel costs.
ARTICLE 11: INDEMNITY
11.1 Indemnity by the Client
You shall indemnify the Organiser and each of its Affiliates against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses, whatsoever and howsoever arising, except to the extent that such liabilities, costs, expenses, damages or losses result from an inherent technical vulnerability, system failure or security defect in the Event Platform or Mobile App.
11.2 Mutual IP Indemnity
Each Party (the "indemnifying party") indemnifies the other Party (the "indemnified party") against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses, whatsoever and howsoever arising, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, directly or indirectly, suffered or incurred by the indemnified party or any of its Affiliates in connection with any claim made by a third party against the indemnified party or any of its Affiliates for actual or alleged infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights (including any rights in know-how) arising out of or in connection with these T&C, save to the extent caused by a breach of these T&C by the indemnified party.
