Pandemics, hazards, and force majeure

1. Any person who attends the conference on site in Hamburg is obliged to follow any official regulations regarding health and hygiene that are valid during the conference runtime. Such regulations are considered official and mandatory if publicly announced by the European Union/Commission, the federal government of Germany, the federal state of Hamburg, the city of Hamburg, or the Bucerius Law School as the hosting venue.
2. The obligation to follow official health and hygiene regulations is not only applied to COVID-19, but to any other pandemic or epidemic that might occur in the future.
3. Hazards that make it impossible to run the Cello Conference at the Bucerius Law School grant the right to cancel the event and therefore terminate the paid registrations of on-site attendees. In such cases, on-site attendees will either be offered a virtual attendance and get the difference between paid fees and virtual attendance fees reimbursed, or, if no virtual equivalent takes place, the full registration fee is reimbursed. The Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology, however, will not be liable for other costs the attendee might have had (e.g., travel, accommodation).

Insurance

The organizers cannot accept liability for personal accident, loss, or damage to private property, which may be incurred as a result of the participation in the Cello Conference 2025. Participants are, therefore, advised to arrange appropriate insurance coverage. This should apply not only to travel but also to cancellation costs. German law is applicable. Place of jurisdiction is Hamburg, Germany.

Disclaimer

By registering, participants acknowledge and consent that during their attendance at the Cello Conference their contributions to online sessions may be recorded by an official of the conference. This content may be distributed or published at the discretion of the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology. If you do not wish to be recorded, you are required to formally advise the organizers in advance.
