Approval as a participant at the event (abbreviated in the following to the EV) requires prior registration on the website https://www.tourismustage.at.

By sending the registration, the participant confirms to have taken note of and accepted in full these General Terms and Conditions for Participation and registers for the Austrian Tourism Day bound by said terms and conditions. Sending of the registration does not constitute any claim to approval for the EV. On receipt of the registration by the Organiser, the participant will receive an automatically generated email confirming receipt of the registration. This email does not constitute confirmation of participation. The contract (confirmation of participation) does not become effective until such time as the Organiser has sent written confirmation of participation by email. 

On principle the participant is entitled to withdraw from the contract. The withdrawal must be effected in writing by email to the Austrian National Tourist Office (tourismustage@austria.info).

(1) the Organiser reserves the right to change the start, duration and/or the venue for compelling reasons, even after conclusion of the contract. This does not give rise to any right of withdrawal for the participant nor any claim for damages.

(2) Should the Organiser be forced to close or block parts of the venue either temporarily or for a longer period of time due to reasons for which the Organiser is not responsible or due to force majeure, this does not give rise to any right of withdrawal for the participant nor any claim for damages.

(3) Should the event not take place due to reasons for which the Organiser is not responsible or due to force majeure, the Organiser is not liable for any costs or damages incurred by the participant.

The Organiser is entitled to have film and video recordings made of the entire event, including the supporting programme, and to use these for press publications, reporting in its own media (esp. website, social media, newsletter) and for the promotion of other events.
