General Conditions

The European Society of Pathology (hereafter named ESP) has commissioned CPO HANSER SERVICE with the organisation and execution of the conference. The registration for the conference and the confirmation thereof forms a contract between the conference attendee and the ESP regarding attendance at the conference. This contract is based on the following General Terms and Conditions.

Registration Fees for the 36th European Congress of Pathology
Attendance at the congress is subject to a registration fee. Registration for the conference and booking of services are binding for the attendee. The fees must be paid in advance on the dates specified. Any bank charges will be charged to the payer.

Please note that once you have booked a registration fee, it cannot be changed anymore and is binding. Please double-check your booking before completing your registration.

Usage of Pictures/Videos of Delegates
Upon registration for on-site attendance, delegates grant the ESP the right to use any pictures/videos that are being made on-site in Florence for publication on the congress website, the ESP website, as well as in the information media on-site at Fortezza da Basso, Florence. This includes, but is not limited to the following media:

The ESP will only use pictures/videos for internal publications and will not sell pictures/videos on stock photo platforms or else. 
If you see a picture of yourself, you would rather have deleted, please contact us at ecp-florence@cpo-hanser.de and it will be taken off immediately.

Programme Changes
The ESP reserves the right to make any necessary changes to the programme at short notice. There will be no pro rata refund of registration fees for cancelled papers or changes to the programme.
