3. Contact: e-mail the e-mail address given on the Contact page, phone +48 601 153 747 or the form on the Contact page.
§ 2. Definitions
- Participant – a person who registered for a conference via the Portal form.
- Listener – a Participant attending without presenting a paper.
- Speaker – a Participant who registers a paper.
- User – a person for whom the Organiser created an account on the Portal.
§ 3. Using the Portal
1. Browsing the Portal is free of charge and requires no account.
2. All you need is an internet-connected device and an up-to-date browser with JavaScript and strictly necessary cookies enabled.
3. Sending unlawful or offensive content, or content infringing the rights of others, through the forms is prohibited.
§ 4. User accounts
1. There is no public sign-up. Accounts are created only by the Organiser for verified persons, e.g. members of scientific committees, authors and reviewers.
2. A logged-in User can access materials marked as available to verified users only.
3. Users must not share their login details. The Organiser may block an account if these Terms are breached.
4. Users may ask the Organiser to delete their account at any time.
§ 5. Conference registration
1. Registrations are accepted through the form on each conference page until the deadlines stated there.
2. After submitting the form, a Listener receives the payment details: amount, bank account and transfer title. The registration becomes valid once the payment is received.
3. After submitting the form, a Speaker receives the e-mail address to which the paper should be sent. The Organiser reviews the paper and replies by e-mail, including information about the fee – which is paid only after the paper is accepted.
4. The Organiser may cancel a registration if the fee is not paid on time.
5. Submitting the form concludes a contract for conference participation on the terms described on the conference page and in these Terms.
§ 6. Fees
1. Fees are listed on the conference page as gross amounts in Polish zloty (PLN).
2. Fees are paid by bank transfer to the Organiser's account using exactly the transfer title shown after registration.
3. On request, the Organiser issues an invoice or other proof of payment.
§ 7. Cancellation and withdrawal
1. A Participant who is a consumer may withdraw from the contract without giving a reason within 14 days of registering by sending a statement to the e-mail address given on the Contact page. The Organiser refunds the payment within 14 days of receiving it.
2. If the conference starts before this period ends and the Participant takes part, the Participant is deemed to have requested the service to begin before the withdrawal period expired.
3. After the period in point 1, a Participant may cancel by writing to the Organiser; any refund is decided individually.
4. If the Organiser cancels a conference, all fees paid are refunded in full.
§ 8. Copyright
1. The Portal's content and graphics are protected by copyright.
2. A Speaker confirms that the paper is their own (co-)authored work and does not infringe third-party rights.
3. Publishing a paper in a post-conference volume requires the author's separate consent.
§ 9. Liability
1. The Organiser takes care that the Portal works properly but may introduce technical breaks.
2. Participants are informed by e-mail of any change of the conference date or format.
§ 10. Complaints

2. The Organiser replies within 14 days of receipt.
§ 11. Personal data
Personal data processing is described in the Privacy Policy linked in the Portal footer.
§ 12. Final provisions
1. The Organiser may amend these Terms for important reasons, e.g. changes in the law. Amendments do not apply to registrations sent earlier.
2. Polish law applies, in particular the Civil Code and the Consumer Rights Act.
3. Consumers may use out-of-court dispute resolution, e.g. the assistance of a municipal or district consumer ombudsman. The Polish-language version prevails.
