About the Website and the Organiser
The website www.indiasustainabilityexpo.biz (the “Website”) is owned and operated by Water Today Pvt. Ltd. (“Water Today”, “we”, “us” or “our”). India Sustainability Expo is a division of Water Today Pvt. Ltd. and is referred to in these Terms as the “Expo”. The Website provides information about the Expo, including its exhibitions, conferences, programmes, exhibitors, sponsors, partners, visitor information and related activities.
In these Terms, “you” or “your” means any person who accesses or uses the Website, including a visitor, exhibitor, sponsor, delegate, speaker, representative or other user.
Acceptance and Scope of These Terms
These Terms apply to your access to and use of the Website and the information and features made available through it. They do not, by themselves, constitute an exhibitor contract, sponsorship agreement, ticketing agreement, delegate agreement or other commercial agreement. Where you register for, book, exhibit at, sponsor, speak at or otherwise participate in an Expo event, additional terms, forms, rules or agreements may apply. If those specific terms conflict with these Website Terms, the specific event or commercial agreement will govern the relevant participation or transaction.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on the Website with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Permitted Use of the Website
You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree that you will not:
We may restrict, suspend or block access to the Website where we reasonably believe that a user has breached these Terms, compromised Website security or used the Website unlawfully.
Website Information and Event Details
We make reasonable efforts to keep the Website information accurate and current. However, event dates, venues, timings, programmes, speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, partners, product displays and other details may change. Information may also be updated, corrected, withdrawn or supplemented without prior notice. Website content is provided for general information. It should not be treated as a binding confirmation of an exhibitor booking, sponsorship, speaking opportunity, delegate registration, commercial arrangement or other commitment unless we have issued a written confirmation or entered into a separate agreement.
Any figures, forecasts, visitor or exhibitor estimates, programme descriptions and promotional statements are indicative unless expressly stated otherwise. Actual participation, attendance, business outcomes and event results may differ.
Registration, Enquiries and Submissions
Where the Website allows you to submit an enquiry, register interest, apply to participate or provide contact details, you agree to provide information that is accurate, complete and current. You are responsible for updating information that becomes inaccurate.
Submitting an enquiry, application or registration form does not automatically create a contract or guarantee acceptance, admission, allocation of space, a speaking slot or participation in an event. Any acceptance or confirmation is subject to our review, availability, applicable payment requirements and any separate terms communicated to you.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have authority to provide the information and contact details of any person whose details you submit. Do not submit another person’s personal information unless you are authorised to do so and have provided any notice or obtained any consent required by law.
Exhibitors, Sponsors, Speakers and Delegates
Participation as an exhibitor, sponsor, speaker, delegate, partner or visitor may be subject to separate application procedures, eligibility criteria, fees, payment schedules, cancellation terms, event regulations and written agreements. Those specific requirements will apply in addition to these Website Terms.
No space allocation, sponsorship benefit, speaking opportunity, listing, badge, pass or other event entitlement is confirmed unless and until it is expressly confirmed by Water Today or the Expo in writing and any applicable conditions have been met.
Exhibitors and sponsors are responsible for the accuracy and legality of their own company details, product descriptions, claims, advertisements, demonstrations and materials. They must ensure their products, equipment, displays, and activities comply with applicable laws, licenses, standards, and event-specific safety requirements. The Expo’s inclusion of an exhibitor, sponsor, speaker or product on the Website or in event materials does not amount to a certification, guarantee or endorsement of that party or its products.
The Expo may determine or revise event layouts, schedules, participation arrangements and operational requirements where reasonably necessary for event management, safety, regulatory compliance or other legitimate operational reasons, subject to any applicable written agreement and law.
Payments, Fees and Refunds
Where fees or payments are applicable, the amount, taxes, payment method, due dates, cancellation charges and refund conditions will be communicated through the relevant booking process, invoice, registration terms or separate agreement. These Website Terms do not create a general right to a refund or cancellation.
You are responsible for ensuring that payment details and transaction information submitted by you are accurate. Payments may be processed through third-party payment service providers and may be subject to their terms, security procedures and charges. We do not control third-party payment systems and are not responsible for service interruptions attributable to them, subject to applicable law.
Event Changes, Postponement or Cancellation
The Expo may modify an event’s dates, venue, format, timings, programme, speakers, exhibitors or other arrangements, or postpone or cancel an event, where required by operational, commercial, safety, regulatory, public health, venue-related or other circumstances. We will endeavour to communicate material changes through appropriate channels.
The consequences of a change, postponement or cancellation for registrations, exhibitor bookings, sponsorships or payments will be governed by the applicable event-specific terms or written agreement and applicable law. Nothing in this clause excludes any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
