Terms and Conditions of Sale
Article 1 – Purpose
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (“GTCS”) set out the rights and obligations of Campus Education (hereinafter the “Organizer”) and the client (hereinafter the “Client”) with respect to the Client’s participation in any fair, event, exhibition, conference or other function organized by Campus Education.
Once the Organizer confirms the participation, the Client is contractually bound to take part in the event on the terms agreed between the parties and in accordance with these GTCS.
Article 2 – Firm and Final Nature of the Booking
Any booking or participation confirmed by the Client is a firm, final and binding contractual commitment, provided that the Client’s consent can be established by any means showing its intention to take part in the event.
Confirmation may result from, among other things (this list is not exhaustive): written acceptance (by email or any other means) or oral acceptance; a telephone conversation confirming participation; the Client sending the items needed for its participation; the Client sending its visuals, logos or communication materials; the Client completing or validating its institution profile; the Client providing information meant to prepare its participation; or any other act or exchange that, alone or together with others, shows the Client’s intention to take part in the event.
Once participation has been confirmed, the Client may not cancel, withdraw, reduce or transfer it, in whole or in part, without the Organizer’s prior written consent.
Any cancellation requested by the Client, for whatever reason, does not release the Client from the financial obligations arising from the confirmed booking. The only exceptions are the Organizer’s express written agreement or a duly established case of force majeure as defined in Article 7.
In particular, the Client may not rely on any of the following to dispute the confirmed booking or avoid its payment obligations: a later budget decision, an internal approval procedure, a change of priorities, a management decision, a change of staff, a lack of internal funding, or any other circumstance within its own organization or control.
Whether or not the Organizer later manages to reassign the space to another participant has no effect on the Client’s financial obligations, unless the Organizer expressly agrees otherwise in writing.
Article 3 – Payment Terms and Financial Obligations
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the full amount stated in the commercial proposal, quotation, invoice or any other applicable commercial document is payable according to the payment terms agreed between the parties.
The Client’s financial obligation arises as soon as its participation is confirmed. It does not depend on signing any specific document, provided that the confirmation can be established through the items listed in Article 2.
The payment obligation also does not depend on the Client actually attending the event.
Consequently, none of the following counts as a cancellation accepted by the Organizer, and none of them suspends, reduces or extinguishes the financial obligations arising from the booking: the Client’s absence from the event, its withdrawal, its failure to appoint representatives, its non-use of its stand, or its decision not to take part after confirmation.
If the Client cancels after confirmation, the full amount for the confirmed participation remains due. This is without prejudice to any additional amount, compensation, fees or costs the Organizer may be entitled to claim under applicable law.
Any late payment will bear late-payment interest in accordance with the applicable provisions of Moroccan law, without prejudice to the Organizer’s other contractual and legal rights.
The Client must also reimburse all legally recoverable collection costs incurred by the Organizer in recovering unpaid amounts.
Article 4 – Cancellation, Non-Participation and Replacement
A cancellation notified by the Client ends its contractual commitment only if the Organizer has expressly accepted it in writing.
The Organizer has no obligation to reduce or limit the Client’s financial obligations by reselling, reassigning or replacing its participation.
In particular, the Client may not claim a reduction of the amount due on the grounds that another institution later showed interest in the event, that another institution was placed on a waiting list, or that the Organizer managed to reassign all or part of the space concerned.
Any participation by a new institution that the Organizer later accepts is a separate commercial transaction. It does not automatically release the original Client from its contractual and financial obligations.
Article 5 – Allocation of Locations
The Organizer allocates locations and stands based on availability, the event layout, logistical constraints and its own operational requirements.
The location communicated to the Client is deemed final unless the Organizer agrees otherwise in writing.
The Client may not demand a change of location once it has been allocated.
Article 6 – Stand Fitting and Decoration
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Organizer alone is responsible for fitting out, installing and decorating the stands.
The Client must make any specific request sufficiently in advance, and such requests may be invoiced separately.
The items the Client provides to prepare its participation, including logos, visuals, institutional information, texts or communication materials, may be used by the Organizer to prepare and promote the event, in accordance with the terms agreed between the parties.
Article 7 – Force Majeure and Cancellation of the Event
Neither party will be liable for failing to perform an obligation where the failure results directly from a force majeure event recognized by applicable law.
If an event organized by Campus Education has to be cancelled, postponed or substantially changed as a direct result of a duly established case of force majeure, the Organizer may, at its discretion, offer an alternative date, another event or an alternative way of participating.
Unless mandatory provisions of applicable law provide otherwise, such an alternative does not automatically entitle the Client to a refund.
Budgetary, organizational, administrative or staffing constraints, and any other internal circumstance affecting the Client, do not constitute force majeure.
Article 8 – Liability
The Organizer is not liable for the theft, loss or damage of goods, equipment, documents or personal belongings that belong to the Client and are brought to the event venue, except where such an exclusion of liability is not legally permitted.
The Client is responsible for taking out any insurance it considers necessary to cover its equipment, its representatives and its participation in the event.
Article 9 – Formal Notice and Recovery of Unpaid Amounts
If any amount due is not paid, the Organizer may serve the Client with formal notice to pay the outstanding amounts within the applicable contractual or legal deadline.
If payment has not been made once the formal notice expires, and without prejudice to any other right it holds, the Organizer may bring legal proceedings or use any other appropriate remedy to recover the amounts due. This includes applicable interest, legally recoverable collection costs, damages and any other amount the competent court may award.
The Client acknowledges that the Organizer may use the following, among others, to establish that the contractual commitment exists and what it contains, subject to the applicable rules of evidence: the booking; written or oral confirmations; correspondence; telephone conversations where they can be established; items provided by the Client to prepare its participation; invoices; quotations; commercial proposals; and these GTCS.
Article 10 – Acceptance of the GTCS
These GTCS are deemed accepted by the Client once it confirms its participation in an event organized by Campus Education, whatever form that confirmation takes under Article 2.
The Client acknowledges that it has read, understood and accepted these GTCS in their entirety.
These GTCS form an integral part of any booking or participation confirmed with Campus Education. They prevail over any conflicting term or provision put forward by the Client, unless the Organizer expressly accepts that term in writing.
By confirming its participation, the Client accepts the contractual and financial obligations set out in these GTCS.
Article 11 – Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These GTCS are governed by and interpreted in accordance with Moroccan law.
Any dispute about the validity, interpretation, performance, termination or consequences of the contractual relationship between the Organizer and the Client falls under the jurisdiction of the competent courts of Casablanca, Morocco, subject to any mandatory legal provision to the contrary.
The Organizer expressly reserves all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law.
