1. About these Terms

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the website www.globalinvestmentconvention.com (the “Website”) and your purchase of any package, booth, speaking slot, delegate pass or other offering (a “Package”) for the Global Investment Convention, Edition 15, to be held in Bengaluru, India, from 10th to 13th February 2027 (the “Event”). The Event is hosted by CRESCENDO WORLDWIDE PVT. LTD., a company incorporated in India, with its registered office at Pinnacle Square, S.No. 51/1A, Mumbai Hwy, Near Chandani Chowk, Next to McDonald's, Bavdhan, Pune, Maharashtra 411021, India (“GIC”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

By using the Website, creating a booking or making a payment, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms and to the other policies listed in Section 18. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website or book a Package.

2. Who can book

• You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a contract.
• Packages are meant for businesses, governments, government agencies, investors, institutions and professionals. If you book on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind that organisation. In these Terms, “you” includes that organisation.
• You must give accurate, complete and current information when booking, and keep it updated.

3. Packages

The Packages currently offered are Host Country, Diamond, Platinum, Gold and Delegate. Their prices (in US Dollars), inclusions and the number of passes or slots available are shown on the Pricing Page of the Website and in the official GIC brochure. Packages are available in limited numbers and are allotted on a first-paid, first-served basis.

The details of what each Package includes, and how it is delivered, are explained in our Package Delivery and Service Fulfilment Policy. If there is any difference between the Pricing Page and the brochure, the Pricing Page displayed at the time of your booking will apply.

4. How a booking is made

• Choose a Package on the Pricing Page, enter the required details and complete the payment through the payment gateway or by another payment method we accept.
• Your booking is confirmed only when we have received the full payment (or the instalment agreed in writing) and have sent you a booking confirmation by email. Selecting a Package or reaching the payment page does not reserve it.
• We may decline or cancel a booking, with a full refund of the amount paid for it, if the Package is no longer available, if the information provided is incorrect or incomplete, if we cannot verify the payer or the organisation, or if the booking would breach any law or these Terms.
• Please check the booking confirmation and invoice carefully. Tell us within 3 working days if anything is wrong.

5. Prices, payment and taxes

Prices are stated in US Dollars (USD). Payment methods, taxes, invoices, instalments, bank charges and failed transactions are covered in our Payment Policy. Applicable taxes, including Goods and Services Tax (GST) under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, are charged or treated as required by Indian law.

6. Cancellation and refunds

Cancellations, substitutions and refunds are governed by our Cancellation Policy and Refund Policy. Please read them before booking, as most Packages are subject to reducing refund amounts and become non-refundable as the Event approaches.

7. Changes to the Event

Event planning is dynamic. We may change the programme, schedule, session timings, speakers, panellists, investor attendees, booth layout or venue within Bengaluru where reasonably necessary, and we will try to give you notice. Such changes do not entitle you to a refund unless they significantly affect what you bought and we cannot offer a reasonable alternative. If we cancel or postpone the Event, the Refund Policy applies.

8. Your responsibilities

• Provide company profiles, project outlines, videos, artwork, logos (only where necessary and with prior consent) and other materials in the format and by the dates we notify. Delays may reduce or remove the benefit linked to those materials.
• Make sure all content you give us is accurate, lawful, not misleading, and does not infringe anyone’s rights. You are responsible for its content.
• Comply with the Event Code of Conduct and Attendee Policy, venue rules and all applicable laws, including laws on securities, foreign exchange, advertising, customs and immigration.
• Arrange your own travel, accommodation, visas, insurance and the movement of any exhibit materials, unless your Package clearly says otherwise.
• Keep your booking details and any login credentials confidential, and tell us promptly if you suspect misuse.

9. Use of the Website

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes. You must not try to gain unauthorised access to it, introduce harmful code, copy or scrape its content in bulk, submit false bookings or payment details, or use it in a way that harms other users or us. We may suspend or restrict access to the Website for security, maintenance or compliance reasons. We make all reasonable efforts to keep the Website available and free of errors, but we cannot promise that it will always be available or error-free.

10. Intellectual property

• The GIC name, logo (including the registered mark), Website content, brochures, designs and Event materials belong to us or our licensors and are protected under the Copyright Act, 1957 and the Trade Marks Act, 1999. You may not use them without our written permission, except as expressly allowed by your Package.
• You keep ownership of the materials you give us. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use your name, logo, profile, videos, photographs and approved content to deliver your Package and to promote the Event, including on the Website, social media, print and digital media, and in post-event reports. We do not intend to claim ownership of your materials or to use them for any other purpose unless otherwise agreed.
• Attendee, investor and company data shared with you as part of a Package is provided only for follow-up connected with the Event. You must not sell it, publish it, or use it for unrelated or unlawful marketing. See our Privacy Policy for how personal data is handled.

11. Compliance and ethical conduct

You agree not to offer, give, ask for or accept any bribe or improper advantage in connection with the Event, and to follow the applicable anti-corruption laws. You also confirm that your funds are from lawful sources and that you are not subject to sanctions that would make it unlawful for us to deal with you. We may ask for identity or organisation details to comply with the applicable laws, and may refuse or cancel a booking if these are not provided.

12. No investment advice or guarantee

GIC is an event and business-facilitation platform. We do not give investment, legal, tax or financial advice. We do not guarantee that any meeting, introduction, investment, partnership, order or other business result will arise from your participation. Please read our Disclaimer for details.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims connected with a booking, a Package, the Website or the Event, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, is limited to the amount actually received by us from you for the relevant Package, after deducting refunds already made, taxes, and payment gateway and bank charges. We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, special, incidental or punitive loss, for any loss of profit, revenue, business, investment, funding, opportunity, goodwill or reputation, or for wasted expenditure, including your travel, accommodation, visa and shipping costs. We are also not liable for the acts, omissions or decisions of investors, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, other participants, media, venue operators, payment gateways, banks or other third parties; for loss, theft or damage to your exhibits or belongings; for any failure to achieve a particular meeting, investment, partnership, coverage or other business result; or for any delay or failure caused by force majeure or by a change to the programme or venue permitted under these Terms. If any part of your Package is not provided, our sole responsibility, at our choice, is to provide a suitable alternative or refund the value of that part, provided you notify us in writing within 30 days after the Event ends. These limits also protect our directors, employees, agents, contractors and affiliates, apply separately to each claim ground, and survive the end of your booking. Nothing in these Terms limits or waives our right to claim from you any amount due to us or any loss we suffer because of your breach of these Terms.

14. Indemnity

You agree to compensate us for any loss, claim or expense that results from your breach of these Terms, your content infringing anyone’s rights, or your unlawful conduct at or in connection with the Event.

15. Force majeure

Neither party is responsible for failure or delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, such as natural disasters, epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government orders or restrictions, power or internet failure, strikes, airspace closure or venue unavailability. If such an event affects the Event, the Refund Policy explains what we will offer.

16. Privacy

We handle personal data in line with our Privacy Policy and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 of India, and where they apply to you, the laws of other countries where our group companies operate or from which you book, such as the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation and the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data. By booking, you confirm that you have the right to share the personal data of any person you register, such as colleagues, delegates and speakers, that you have informed them how it will be used as described in our Privacy Policy, and that you have obtained their consent or have another lawful basis for sharing it, as required by the laws that apply to you. You agree to use any personal data we share with you (such as attendee and investor lists) only for follow-up connected with the Event and in line with the data protection laws that apply to you. You understand that, because GIC is an international event, personal data may be transferred to and processed in India and other countries where we, our group companies, service providers and Event participants are located. If the law of your country requires any additional step for such transfers, such as a data transfer agreement, please contact us before booking and we will work with you reasonably to put it in place.

17. General

These Terms are an electronic record under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and do not need a signature.

We may send notices to the email address you gave at booking or publish them on the Website. You may write to us at the contact details below.

These Terms, together with the policies listed in Section 18 and your booking confirmation, are the entire agreement between you and us for the Package.

You may not transfer your booking or rights without our written consent. We may assign our rights to a group company or successor.

If any part of these Terms is held invalid, the rest remains in force. Not enforcing a right on one occasion does not mean we give it up.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version on the Website at the time of your booking applies to that booking.

18. Related policies

Please also refer to the Payment Policy, Cancellation Policy, Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Package Delivery and Service Fulfilment Policy, Event Code of Conduct and Attendee Policy, Disclaimer and Grievance Redressal Policy, each of which forms part of the agreement between you and us.

19. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. We encourage you to first contact us to settle any dispute amicably, and we will try to resolve it within 30 days. If it is not resolved, the dispute will be referred to arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 before a sole arbitrator appointed by mutual consent. The seat and venue of arbitration will be Pune, Maharashtra, India, and the language will be English. Subject to this, the courts at Pune, Maharashtra, India have exclusive jurisdiction.
