To the fullest extent permitted under any applicable laws, BlockPro disclaims all implied warranties, and You accept and agree that BlockPro will not be liable for any acts, errors, inaccuracies or omissions in respect of the content and materials made available to You in the course of, as part of or resulting from Your participation in, or registration for, any Virtual Event.

8. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY

8.1. In no event shall BlockPro, its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, managers, agents, contractors, consultants, partners, third party service providers, affiliates, permitted successors and assigns be liable for any any indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential losses or damages, or damages for loss of profits, loss of sales or business, loss of agreements or contracts, loss of anticipated savings, loss of or damage to goodwill, loss of or corruption of software, data or information, arising out of or in any way connected to Your participation in a Virtual Event or to any delay in or inability to access, view or participate in a Virtual Event for any reason whatsoever, howsoever caused, and whether based on an action in negligence, contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, whether or not BlockPro was aware or should have been aware of the possibility such damages may result.

8.2. In no event shall BlockPro, its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, managers, agents, contractors, consultants, partners, third party service providers, affiliates, permitted successors and assigns be liable for any claims, proceedings via any forum, liabilities, damages, losses, obligations or costs, of any nature whatsoever, in excess of 100GBP. This limitation is based on the allocation of risk as between the parties. In the event that any limitation is found not to apply or is ineffective for any reason, the remaining limitations set out in the VE T&C will survive.

8.3. It is accepted by BlockPro that in some jurisdictions, exclusions or limitations of liability in respect of incidental or consequential damages are not permitted at law. As such, some of the limitations and exclusions set out in the VE T&C may not apply to You, and Your rights may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Any disclaimers, exclusions or limitations set out in the VE T&C will only apply to the extent permitted by the applicable law.

8.4. Unless prohibited under the applicable law, You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BlockPro, its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, managers, agents, contractors, consultants, partners, third party service providers, affiliates, permitted successors and assigns from and against any and all actual or threatened claims, proceedings, suits and actions by any third parties, and any and all liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, costs and expenses (including any reasonable legal fees), arising out of, or in any way connected with or relating to:

8.4.1. Your participation in the Virtual Event, and use or misuse of, or access to any contents acquired through such participation;

8.4.2. Your failure to comply with the VE T&C, or any part of them;

8.4.3. Your failure to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule;

8.4.4. any claim that Your actions and/or conduct caused damage to, infringed upon, misappropriated or otherwise violated the rights of any third party, including infringement, misappropriation or other violation of third-party intellectual property rights, or violation of any right of privacy or publicity; and/or

8.4.5. any dispute whatsoever that You may have with a third party relating to or in connection with Your participation in, or in any way connected to, a Virtual Event.

8.5. In the event of any matter subject to indemnification by You, BlockPro reserves the right, at its own cost, to take over the control and defence, and You agree to cooperate fully with BlockPro in asserting any defences available, in respect of such matter.

8.6. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and protections afforded to BlockPro under these VE T&C shall be in addition to the rights and protections that BlockPro is entitled to under the Terms of Use and Privacy Statement. The Privacy Statement can be found on Our website.

11. SEVERABILITY

11.1. Should the VE T&C or any part or provision herein, including but not limited to, any warranty, disclaimer or limit of liability, be determined invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, they shall be deemed superseded and replaced by valid and enforceable provisions that, to the greatest extent possible, fulfil the purposes and intent of the invalid or unenforceable provisions. Furthermore, any such invalid or unenforceable terms shall be deemed severable, and shall not impact the validity or enforceability of any other provisions.

12. PERSONAL DATA

12.1. You hereby accept and agree that BlockPro may use Your personal data for the purpose of performing its obligations under the VE T&C and/or providing services relating thereto, including but not limited to the purpose of Virtual Event registration, communications, dealing with Virtual Event access, invoicing, payment, post-event feedback, verification and any other administration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Privacy Statement, which can be accessed on Our website shall also apply.

13. HEADINGS AND TITLES

13.1. Headings and titles used in the VE T&C are inserted for convenience or reference only and should not be considered when interpreting the meaning given to any other provisions.
