Committee Discount Codes: Terms and Conditions

9th ICNGCCT 2027 · Frankfurt am Main, Germany · 14-15 October 2027 · Last updated: 13 November 2026

1. Scope

1.1 These terms apply to every committee discount code ("Code") issued for the 9th International Conference on Next Generation Computing and Communication Technologies (ICNGCCT 2027), Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 14-15 October 2027 (the "Conference").

1.2 The Conference is organised by Zelus International (the "Organiser").

1.3 These terms form part of the ICNGCCT 2027 Terms, Conditions & Refund Policy. Where they conflict, these terms prevail for anything relating to Codes.

1.4 By issuing, sharing, entering or using a Code, the committee member and the registrant accept these terms.

2. Issue of Codes

2.1 The Organiser may issue Codes, at its sole discretion, to individuals who have confirmed their membership of an ICNGCCT 2027 committee ("Committee Member").

2.2 Each Committee Member normally receives six Codes:

• one personal Code for their own registration; and
• five referral Codes that they may share with others.

2.3 Codes are a courtesy. They are not a payment, fee, honorarium or reward for committee service, and committee roles remain honorary. Issuing Codes creates no right to receive Codes, further Codes or any other benefit.

3. Value of a Code

3.1 A Code gives a 25% reduction on the registration fee of the category selected at the time of registration.

3.2 The reduction is calculated on the fee that applies on the date of registration: the Early Bird fee until 31 July 2027, and the Regular fee after that.

3.3 A Code applies only to the registration fee. It does not apply to:

• extra-page charges;
• bank, transfer or payment-processing charges;
• currency conversion differences;
• accommodation, travel or visa costs;
• sponsorship or exhibition packages;
• any other product or service.

4. Single use and conditions of use

4.1 Each Code is valid for one registration only. It is used up when a registration form is submitted with it.

4.2 Only one Code may be used per registration.

4.3 A Code cannot be combined with any other discount, offer or waiver unless the Organiser agrees in writing.

4.4 A Code must be entered and applied on the online registration form before the registration is submitted and before payment is made.

4.5 A Code cannot be applied retrospectively to a registration that has already been submitted or paid. No partial refund or credit is given for a Code not used at the time of registration.

5. No cash value

5.1 Codes have no monetary value. They are a discount on the registration fee only.

5.2 Codes cannot be redeemed, exchanged, refunded, credited or paid out, in whole or in part, for:

• cash;
• bank transfer;
• vouchers or credit notes;
• goods or services; or
• any other equivalent.

5.3 No compensation of any kind is payable for any of the following:

• unused Codes;
• partly used Codes;
• expired, revoked or lost Codes;
• Codes that were not shared or not taken up by a referred person;
• a registration that is not completed.

5.4 Neither a Committee Member nor any other person may make a monetary claim against the Organiser on the basis of a Code.

6. Sharing of referral Codes

6.1 A Committee Member may share referral Codes with colleagues, students or research collaborators of their choice, free of charge.

6.2 Codes must not be:

• sold, traded, auctioned or exchanged for any consideration; or
• published on public websites, social media or mailing lists.

6.3 The Committee Member is responsible for distributing their Codes and keeping them confidential. The Organiser is not liable for Codes that are lost, disclosed, shared with unintended recipients or used by someone other than the intended person. The Organiser has no obligation to reissue such Codes.

7. Validity

7.1 Codes are valid only for registration to ICNGCCT 2027. They cannot be used for any other edition, event or service of the Organiser.

7.2 Codes expire at the close of final registration (15 September 2027), or earlier if revoked under Section 9. Expired Codes lapse without compensation.

8. Refunds, cancellation and changes to the Conference

8.1 Refunds of a registration paid at a discounted fee are handled under the Terms, Conditions & Refund Policy. Any refund is based on the amount actually paid, not on the standard fee.

8.2 A Code used for a refunded or cancelled registration is not reinstated or reissued unless the Organiser decides otherwise in writing.

8.3 If the Conference is postponed, relocated, changed in format (for example, to a fully online or hybrid event) or cancelled, Codes give no right to cash, compensation or any benefit beyond the discount on the registration fee. In such cases the Organiser may, at its discretion, extend or reissue unused Codes.

9. Verification, misuse and revocation

9.1 The Organiser may verify any registration made with a Code and may reject or revoke a Code at any time where it reasonably suspects any of the following:

• misuse, fraud or sale of the Code;
• use by an ineligible person; or
• use in breach of these terms.

9.2 The Organiser may also revoke unused Codes if a Committee Member withdraws from, or is removed from, a committee.

9.3 If a Code was used improperly or without entitlement, the registrant must pay the difference between the discounted fee and the standard fee. If the difference is not paid within the period the Organiser sets, the Organiser may cancel the registration. Cancellation under this clause carries no right to a refund of any discount.

9.4 The Organiser's records of Codes, their status and their use are conclusive, unless there is a manifest error.

10. Errors and technical issues

10.1 Displaying a discounted fee on the website or in any message does not create an entitlement where the Code was not valid or was applied in error.

10.2 The Organiser is not liable for technical faults, interruptions or errors in the online registration or code-checking system. Where such a fault occurs, the Organiser will make reasonable efforts to apply a valid Code correctly.

11. Limitation of liability

11.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Organiser's total liability arising from or in connection with any Code is limited to the value of the discount that the Code would have provided on the relevant registration fee.

11.2 Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for intent or gross negligence.

12. Changes to these terms

12.1 The Organiser may amend these terms at any time by publishing an updated version on https://icngcct.com/.

12.2 Amendments apply to Codes that have not yet been used at the time of publication.

13. Governing law and contact

13.1 These terms are governed by the law and jurisdiction set out in the ICNGCCT 2027 Terms, Conditions & Refund Policy.
