It is not considered a violation of this policy if the infor-
mation contained in the abstract is presented or has been
accepted for presentation at another meeting (as noted du-
ring abstract submission), or if the abstract is published in a
peer-reviewed journal after the abstract submission deadline.
It is the responsibility of the submitting author to inform con-
cerned parties (such as agencies) about this policy. If there is
a breach of the embargo at any time by a media organization,
we ask that the company or organization contact the Organi-
zers communications department immediately.
MEDIA POLICY
Media credentials are reserved exclusively for working
members of the editorial media, including print, broadcast,
radio or online. In order to maintain an environment condu-
cive for quality professional interactions, media credentials
are only available to media that are related to the industry,
or those that cover another relevant topic. Public relations,
advertising, publishers and marketing personnel represen-
ting manufacturers do not qualify for media credentials.
Video production companies that are representing Contrac-
tors or those that are charging companies to be covered do
not qualify for media credentials. All media are required to
follow the media policy in its entirety. Approved individu-
als who abuse their media privileges or who misrepresent
themselves in obtaining their media passes may risk having
their credentials revoked, and their names banned from at-
tending ISTH congresses in future years.
THIRD PARTY COMPANIES
The Organizers will communicate exclusively with clearly
identified third party companies officially designated in wri-
ting by a Contractor as its representative. In such event,
the Organizers will have no duty to communicate separate-
ly with such Contractor. Queries received from third party
companies (i.e. communication and press agencies) which
do not clearly indicate which Contractor they are represen-
ting, and that have not been properly designated as the
representative of that Contractor, will not be answered.
GOVERNING LAW
This Contract is made and shall be governed under the laws
of the State of North Carolina. Exclusive jurisdiction and ve-
nue of any actions arising out of, or relating to or in any way
connected to this booking, its negotiation or termination, or
the event, will be in the federal or state courts located in
or near Hillsborough, North Carolina. Contractor acknow-
ledges that its agreement to this Governing Law provision
is a material part of this Contract, and hereby waives any
objection to jurisdiction or venue in North Carolina.
INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT
The Organizers shall have full power to interpret and
enforce all regulations for the Congress and the power to
make amendments and/or further regulations that are con-
sidered necessary for the proper conduct of the Congress.
Such decisions shall be binding on all Contractors. Failure
to comply with any Terms and Conditions may be sufficient
cause for the Organizers to require the immediate removal
of the offending exhibitor or sponsor, and may result in for-
feiture of all further rights to exhibit at future congresses of
the Organizers, together with all fees paid.
In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, the Con-
tractor fails to comply in any substantial respect with these
Terms and Conditions, the Organizers shall have the right to
exclude the Contractor, its employees, suppliers and agents,
and to sell its exhibition space and/or sponsorship options.
The Contractor however will be liable for any loss suffered by
the Organizers thereby, and all monies paid by the Contractor
shall be absolutely forfeited to the Organizers.
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE
No amendments, changes, modifications or alterations of
this Contract shall be binding upon either party hereto un-
less in writing and signed by both parties. If any of the pro-
visions of these Terms and Conditions are held to be void or
unenforceable, then such void or unenforceable provisions
shall be replaced by valid and enforceable provisions which
will achieve as far as possible the economic business inten-
tions of the parties. All other provisions of the Terms and
conditions that are not being affected remain valid.
