Insurance and liability

Background:
 
ISUOG holds a World Congress around the world every year, and this includes an exhibition. ISUOG arranges its own insurance specifically for the World Congress each year, and this includes cancellation, postponement and public liability.
 
ISUOG’s public liability insurance covers its staff/representatives. A condition of the insurance is that all onsite sponsors/exhibitors and their onsite suppliers have third party public liability insurance of their own. This is standard practice for ISUOG and other international events/exhibitions. It is noted in ISUOG’s standard exhibition terms and conditions and technical manual, and exhibitors must comply.
 
Of course, ISUOG also carries out risk assessments for the Congress, and adheres to all Congress venue health and safety requirements. It also expects all exhibitors and their suppliers to carry out their own risk assessments and adhere to health and safety best practice. Each party having public liability insurance is therefore for the ‘worst case scenario’, but is nevertheless necessary.
 
Requirement:
 
Exhibitors agree to be responsible for any damage to property and for any loss or injury caused by them or their agents or employees and will indemnify the Organisers against all claims and expenses arising there from. Exhibitors are also responsible for the security and insurance of their activity, materials and content at all times. Exhibitors agree to consult their insurance company or insurance brokers to cover themselves fully against any risks associated with their activity. Exhibitors MUST confirm proof of third party public liability insurance for no less than the equivalent of £2,000,000 (we recommend £10m) to [email protected] by 14 June 2024.
 
You are responsible for insuring against any legal liability incurred in respect of injury or damage to property belonging to third parties. In addition to this you should protect against abandonment and cancellation or curtailment of the event due to reasons beyond the Organisers’ control.
 
In participating in this Congress, companies agree to be responsible for all damage to property and for any loss or injury caused by them or their agents or employees and will indemnify the Organisers against all claims and expenses arising there from. The exhibitor is responsible for the security and insurance of their activity, materials and content at all times. Exhibitors agree to consult their insurance company or insurance brokers to cover themselves fully against any risks associated with their activity. If relevant, liability to the public should also be covered by appropriate insurance, by the exhibitor.
 
In the event of it being necessary for any reason whatsoever for the exhibition to be abandoned, postponed or altered in any way in whole or part, or if the Organisers find it necessary to change the dates of the exhibition, the Organisers shall not be liable for any expenditure, damage or loss incurred in connection with the exhibition. The Organisers shall further not be liable for any loss, which the exhibition or exhibition contractors may incur owing to the intervention of any authority, which prevent or restricts the use of the premises or any part thereof in any matter whatsoever.
 
While the Organisers take every precaution to protect the exhibitors’ property during the exhibition, they are not responsible for any loss or damage. Please forward proof of third party public liability insurance for your company and any contracts you are using, no less than the equivalent of £2,000,000 (we recommend £10m) to [email protected].
