b.    The services and products which constitute the Conference are as described at the beginning of the Order Form.

c.    All orders are subject to you making full payment, and availability and acceptance by ICTA. ICTA reserves the right to accept or reject any order.

By submitting the Order Form, you agree, on your own behalf and as an agent on behalf of all persons for whom you are submitting an Order Form or who will be holding delegate passes ordered by you (you and each such person being a “Delegate Pass Holder”), to be bound by this Agreement. Where you apply to register other individuals for the Conference and that registration is accepted, you warrant that each such individual being registered by you is aware of and agrees to be bound by and shall comply with this Agreement. You agree that you shall be liable for the failure by any such other individual to comply with this Agreement as if it had been your failure.    

2.    Confirmation of Registration

c.    Whilst completing the Order Form, there may be an option to purchase different packages that differ in price and benefits.
