- The Participant’s email address
- Agreement with the GTC

🎤 III. CONFERENCE CONTENT
The EVOLVE! Summit will be held on 6 November 2025 in Brno. The Organizer and Participant consider the thematic focus on HR, recruitment, and sourcing in the CEE region to be essential to the event. The identity of specific speakers, length, or content of individual sessions is not deemed essential to the Contract.
The Organizer reserves the right to make justified changes to the event, such as changes to date, time, venue, duration, speakers, or other features, and commits to inform the Participant via email or another suitable method. Such changes do not alter the agreed content or price of the Contract.
The published program, content, and scope of the conference on www.evolvesummit.cz is for informational purposes only.
Participants are not allowed to make any audio or audiovisual recordings of the conference.
📬 IV. OTHER PROVISIONS
The Organizer sends all communications to the Participant primarily via the email address provided in the Contract. Simple email is considered sufficient for written form; no verified or certified signature is required.
📧 Organizer’s contact email: info@evolvesummit.cz
Messages are deemed delivered on the date of receipt confirmation or at the latest, three days after dispatch.
The Participant must inform the Organizer of any change in contact details. Failure to do so is the Participant’s responsibility.
The Organizer is liable for any property or non-property damage caused by breach of legal obligations or of these GTC, up to the amount paid for participation.
In cases under Section 2913 of the Civil Code, the Organizer must inform the Participant. As long as such circumstances persist, the Participant may not sanction any breach. If these circumstances persist longer than three months, either party may withdraw from the Contract.
Given the nature of the event, the Participant is deemed a professional and not a consumer within the meaning of Section 419 of the Civil Code. Therefore, consumer protection provisions (Section 1810 et seq.) do not apply. Claims of the Participant expire within one year.
The GTC apply accordingly to consumers within the limits of statutory protection. If the Participant is a consumer, any waiver of rights is deemed invalid.
The proposal to conclude the Contract is stored by the Organizer and will be issued upon request. The Contract is concluded in Czech. The form allows for data changes prior to submission.
The Participant has the right to withdraw from the Contract under Section 2001 et seq. of the Civil Code, by written notice delivered to the Organizer’s address. If services have already been partially rendered, the Participant must pay a proportional fee.
Under Section 1837(j) of the Civil Code, the right to withdraw under Section 1829 does not apply, as this is a contract for leisure services provided on a specific date.
📩 Complaints (defective performance under Section 1914 et seq.) may be submitted by email or post and will be resolved within 30 days.
The Organizer informs the Participant (if a consumer) about the possibility of out-of-court dispute resolution. The authority for such resolution is the Czech Trade Inspection Authority, Štěpánská 567/15, 120 00 Prague 2, www.coi.cz.
📌 V. FINAL PROVISIONS
The Organizer complies with the Privacy Policy available on its website.
The Organizer may modify the GTC as necessary due to changes in circumstances; the Participant agrees to this in advance. Rights and obligations arising under the existing GTC remain unaffected.
The Organizer will inform the Participant appropriately. The Participant has the right to reject the changes and terminate the Contract within 30 days.
If any provision becomes invalid or unenforceable, it shall be replaced with a provision that most closely reflects its meaning. This does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
These GTC are issued in both Czech and English. In case of discrepancies, the Czech version prevails.
If the Contract contains an international element, Czech law shall apply. All disputes arising from or in connection with the Contract will be resolved by Czech courts.
These GTC become valid and effective on 1 May 2025. Contracts concluded before this date remain governed by the GTC in effect at the time of their conclusion.
