​CogX Festival reserves its right to change this Access Policy at any time.

7.1. No right to withdraw

The sale of business entrance Passes to the Participant will not give the latter any right to withdraw from their purchase. The sale will therefore be definitive as from the time of payment of the price. Distance selling of entrance Pass to the Event via the website opened by the Organiser will not give purchasers any right to withdraw from their purchase.

You will not be entitled to a refund and we shall not be liable to you for any other cost or other expenses (including, without limitation, wasted costs and expenses) incurred by you as a consequence (including, without limitation, travel and accommodation expenses).

The Organiser will not be bound by these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale in the event of an occurrence in the nature of force majeure, understood as consisting of circumstances that prevent the performance of any obligation whatsoever incumbent on one of the parties and that cannot be attributed to it because they do not stem from fault on the part of the party in question, and cannot be attributed to it by virtue of the law, a judicial deed or generally admitted standards.

​

In consequence, any event or circumstance that prevents access to the event between Tuesday 12th September 2023 and Thursday 14th September 2023 inclusive, such as adverse weather conditions, strikes, rioting, terrorism and the implementation of associated government measures will release the Organiser from its obligations. The business entrance Pass(es) will not be reimbursed and no indemnification will be paid by the Organiser.
