Registration Confirmation
Your registration (whether submitted directly by you or on your behalf) is an offer to Collab Function to attend an Event which is subject to Collab Function’s acceptance in writing (which may include (without limitation) email). A binding contract between Collab Function and you will only be formed when written confirmation of acceptance (“Confirmation” or “Confirmed“) is sent by Collab Function to you (whether or not it is received) using the contact details you provided at the time of registration. You should contact Collab Function if you have not received Confirmation within 5 days of your registration, but in any event if Confirmation is not sent within 14 days of Collab Function receiving your registration, your registration will be deemed to be accepted unless Collab Function notifies you otherwise. Collab Function reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse to accept your registration.
Fees and Payment Terms
- You will pay Collab Function the fees specified in your booking form for the Event (“your fees“). Payment of your fees must be received in full and in cleared funds by Collab Function from you in accordance with Collab Function’s payment terms from time to time in force but in any event not later than 24 hours before the Event. If payment of your fees in full is not received before the Event, Collab Function may (at its sole discretion) either require such payment as a condition of your access to the Event or refuse or block your access to the Event (whether physical or virtual).

If and to the extent that any Taxes are levied upon, or found to be applicable to, the whole or any portion of the payment of your fees, the amount of such payment shall be increased by an amount necessary to compensate for the Taxes (including any amount necessary to “gross up” for Taxes levied on the increase itself).
