Legals & Terms of Use
The following terms and conditions apply to any visitor (henceforth "you" and "your") who accesses NewEnergyWorldNetwork.com ("the Site") and its sub-domains and to any individual or company who purchases any product or service from New Energy World Network Ltd. The Site is published, and certain products and service are provided, by New Energy World Network Ltd, a company registered in England no. 06695690 ("NewNet", "we", "us" and "our"). These terms and conditions were last updated on 11 July 2011 and replace all previous terms and conditions.
THE SITE
By accessing this Site, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms and conditions, you may not use or access this Site and NewNet has the right to restrict or prevent your access to the Site at any time.
NewNet may change, alter or withdraw any part of the Site at any time (with or without notice to you) and may also change these terms and conditions. You should regularly check these terms and conditions to see if any changes have been made. By using the Site after any changes to the terms and conditions, you are agreeing to be bound by the new version of these. If you do not agree to the changes to the terms and conditions, you should cease using the Site and contact NewNet via email to info@NewEnergyWorldNetwork.com. The standard cancellation terms for the Site apply in this situation (see below).
Unless stated otherwise, all text, graphics, illustrations, data and any other material published on the Site ("Content) is copyright New Energy World Network Ltd. All Site Content belongs to NewNet or our licensors. NewNet or our licensors own all intellectual property rights (including copyright and database rights) in the Site and any selection or arrangement of the Content.
The Site is split into two sections: areas that are accessible to all and areas accessible only to paying subscribers who have purchased a user licence for the Site or who are named users on a Site licence purchased by their employer company. We reserve the right to vary the Content in either area and do not guarantee that Content accessible only to paying subscribers of the Site will remain paid-for or that Content accessible to all will remain free-of-charge.
We reserve the right to decline any application from you or your company to become a subscriber to the Site at our sole discretion.
These term and conditions apply to all users of the Site, including persons who access the Site without registering (Non-Subscriber Users), persons who register as Basic subscribers, persons who register as Premium Subscribers and persons or companies who are registered as Site Licence Users.
Non-Subscriber users
You are a user of the Site, and are subject to these terms and conditions, if you access the Site without registering as a subscriber.
Basic Subscribers
You can elect to become a Basic Subscriber and receive email newsletters by registering your details on the Site.
Premium Subscribers
You can become a Premium subscriber, which provides access to paid-for content on the Site, by registering your details on the Site and paying a subscription fee. By registering as a Premium Subscriber you agree to renew your subscription on an annual basis unless you inform us prior to the renewal date that you wish to terminate your subscription. Premium subscriptions are not transferable. No refunds will be provided under any circumstances in the event that an account is suspended or cancelled.
Site Licence Subscribers
Companies can apply for a site licence to provide multiple users within their company in a single location premium-level access to the Site. Each company will provide the name of one individual who will act as administrator for that company and be responsible for registering the personal details of each individual to be covered by the site licence. The administrator can transfer site licences from one employee to another by registering any such changes on the Site.
Site licences are owned by the company, not the individuals named on the site licence. Each individual named on a site licence must be an employee of the company and will have access to the site only whilst they remain an employee of the company and whilst the site licence is unexpired.
Payment and charges
You agree to pay any subscription fees at the rates in effect when these charges are incurred. You must provide us with complete and accurate payment information. You can pay by either credit or debit card. By submitting credit or debit card payment details to us you warrant that you are entitled to purchase the licence to subscribe to the Site using those payment details. In the case of unauthorised payments, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Site. If we do not receive payment authorisation or any authorisation is subsequently cancelled, we may immediately terminate or suspend your access to the Site.
All subscriptions are valid for one year, unless renewed, and no full or partial refunds are available for any reason or in any circumstances. All payments made by you in relation to subscribing to the Site must be made inclusive of VAT or other relevant purchase tax, if applicable, or similar tax, and shall be made in full at one time.
We will try to process your subscription promptly but do not guarantee that all the benefits of a subscription to the Site will be available to you by any specified time. A contract with you for receipt of the subscription to the Site will come into effect when we send you an email confirming your subscription. We will charge you in British Pounds Sterling, United States Dollars, or Euros, depending on the service and your country of residence. You may also have to pay any applicable local taxes.
We will notify you of any price increases prior to you renewing your subscription to the Site. We will alert you in advance by email, telephone or post that your subscription to the Site is due to expire.
Third party sites
The Site contains links to other Internet Websites or online and mobile services provided by us and by independent third parties ("Third Party Sites"), either directly or through frames. Third Party Sites may be co-branded with the Site and so may include one or several logos owned by NewNet. NewNet is not responsible for the availability or Content of Third Party Sites and will not be a party to, or in any way responsible for, any transaction concerning goods or services available from such Third Party Sites. If you purchase products or services from a Third Party Site your contract for such products or services will be with the third party and not with NewNet. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to Third Party Sites.
The Site will from time to time contain advertising and sponsorship. Advertisers and sponsors are responsible for ensuring that material submitted for inclusion on the Site complies with international and national law. NewNet will not be responsible for any error or inaccuracy in advertising or sponsorship material.
Permitted use
You may for your personal, non-commercial use retrieve and display Content on any compatible device, print a single copy of individual articles on paper (but not photocopy them); and store such articles in electronic form on disk or on a mobile device (but not on any server or other storage device connected to a network).
Non-permitted use
You may not use any Content for any unlawful purpose. Except as expressly set out in these terms and conditions, you may not copy, reproduce, publish, broadcast, transmit, modify, adapt, create derivative works of, store, archive, publicly display or in any way commercially exploit any of the Content available on the Site. Without limitation, you may not do any of the following without prior written permission from NewNet (and neither may you allow a third party to do any of the same).
You may not:
- Redistribute any of the Content, including headlines (such as using them as part of any syndication, Content aggregation, news aggregation, library, archive or similar service); or
- Remove the copyright or trade mark notice from any copies of Content; or
- Create a database in electronic or structured manual form by systematically and/or regularly downloading/printing and storing all or any of the Content; or
- Deep link to, frame, spider, harvest or scrape the Content or otherwise access the Site for similar purposes; or

Privacy policy and registration
All information received by us from your use of the Site will be used by NewNet in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
On registration, you must provide us with accurate, complete registration information and it is your responsibility to update and maintain changes to that information.
Unless you purchase a licence for more than one individual to use the Site, each registration is for a single user only. On registration, you will provide your email address and password ("Login details"). NewNet does not permit any other person sharing your Login details or access through a single set of login details being made available to multiple users on a network. If NewNet in its reasonable opinion considers the user licence is being abused in any way then NewNet may cancel or suspend at its sole discretion your access to the Site without further obligation to you and you agree to purchase a multi-user licence for sufficient users immediately that is effective from the date of your initial subscription to the Site.
You are responsible for all use of the Site made by you or anyone else using your Login details and for preventing unauthorised use of your Login details. If you believe there has been any breach of security such as the disclosure, theft or unauthorised use of your Login details or any payment information, you must notify us immediately.
When you subscribe to the Site a cookie may be set on your computer that enables you to be logged in automatically to the Site whenever you revisit, without having to manually log in each time. However, NewNet has no responsibility for the use of your computer by other individuals and is unable to prevent unauthorised access by other individuals of both your subscription details and features of the Site personal to you.
If you provide the Site with an email address that will result in any messages NewNet may send you being sent to you via a network or device operated or owned by a third party (e.g. your employer) then you warrant that you are entitled to receive those messages. You also agree that we may refrain from sending messages to you without notifying you, even if you have subscribed to receive them, if we receive a request from a third party to stop sending messages to you.
We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any activity and Content associated with the Site. NewNet may investigate any complaints or reported violation of the Site and these terms and conditions and take any action that we deem reasonable and appropriate (which may include, but is not limited to, issuing warnings, suspending, terminating or attaching conditions to Site access and/or removing any materials on the Site).
Technical requirements and Site security
The Site is best viewed using the latest Internet browsers. Any older browser versions may work but users could have limited browsing experience. Any payment information you send to us over the Internet is encrypted using 128-bit Secure Socket Layer technology. SSL is currently the preferred method to securely transfer credit card data over the Internet.
Linking
If you would like to link to the Site, you must read and comply with the following guidelines and all applicable laws. A website or service that links to the Site:
- Can display the Site logo as supplied by NewNet but no other brand and/or logo owned by NewNet;
- Cannot remove, distort or otherwise alter the size or appearance of the logo;
- Cannot in any way imply that NewNet is endorsing the website or any of the products or services on that other site;
- Must not misrepresent its relationship with NewNet or present false information about NewNet;
- Must not be a website or service that infringes any intellectual property or other right of any person or that does not comply with all relevant laws and regulations;

Liability, warranty and indemnity
By using the Site, you agree that the Content is only for your general information and use and is not intended to address your particular requirements. In particular, the Content does not constitute any form of advice, recommendation, representation, endorsement or arrangement by us or any of our employees and is not intended to be relied upon by users in making (or refraining from making) any specific investment or other decisions. Appropriate independent advice should be obtained before making any such decision. Any agreements, transactions or other arrangements made between you and any third party named on (or linked to from) the Site are at your sole discretion and responsibility. We are not responsible for any use of the Content by you in any circumstances.
You agree that NewNet will not be liable to you for any losses which relate to your business or investment choices including lost profits or loss of privacy or loss of or damage to data.
We do not give any warranties in respect of the Site. NewNet hereby disclaims all warranties, conditions or duties of every nature whatsoever (except any duties of good faith), including without limitation, any implied warranties of satisfactory quality, merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose, any express or statutory warranties, and any warranties or duties regarding accuracy, timeliness, completeness, performance, availability, lack of negligence or of workmanlike effort.

In addition to but separate from the above specific exclusion and to the full extent allowed by applicable law, you also agree that we will not be liable to you for any other indirect, special, consequential incidental, punitive or exemplary damages whatsoever that arise out of or are related to your use of the Site.
NewNet is not liable for matters beyond its reasonable control. We do not control telephones, third party communications networks (including your Internet Service Provider) or the Internet or the acts of third parties and you agree that we can therefore not be liable for any problem experienced by you on account of faults and failures in such systems.
You agree to indemnify NewNet, or any subsidiary or holding company as defined in section 736 and 736A of the Companies Act 1985 and their officers, directors and employees, immediately on demand, against all claims, liability, damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees, arising out of any breach of these terms and conditions by you. You shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such claim or action without the prior written consent of NewNet and we may, at our sole discretion, assume and control the defence of any such claim or action.
NEWNET EVENTS
Conferences, summits, forums and other events (collectively “Events”) are also subject to the following terms and conditions.
-
Delegate Fee
The delegate fee entitles the registered delegate to attend all delegate sessions and networking refreshment breaks, including lunch and any cocktail reception associated with the Event. -
Payment
By completing the registration process you agree to pay the full amount related to your individual registration. Payment in full must be made prior to the event taking place. Payments can be made by American Express, Visa, MasterCard, company cheque or by wire transfer. If registering four (4) weeks or less prior to the event, delegates MUST pay by credit card. -
Cancellation Policy
For the purpose of these Terms & Conditions a purchase is made at the point in time when a delegate place is registered on the Site or requested by email or in writing (“Purchase”). Any cancellation must be made within fourteen (14) days of Purchase AND must be received more than thirty (30) days prior to the Event. Such cancellations will be subject to a charge of 50 % of the fee already paid or the full delegate rate, whichever is the lower. All cancellations must be made in writing (by letter, fax or email - proof of receipt will be required) to the relevant contact at NewNet for that Event. We regret that no refunds will be made for cancellations made after fourteen (14) days of Purchase and there will be no exceptions to this policy. Any cancellations received in writing more than fourteen (14) days after Purchase may, at the discretion of NewNet, receive a 100% credit to be used at another Event for up to 12 months from the date of issuance. -
No-show
Once a Purchase has been made for a delegate place at an Event full payment is due regardless of whether the purchaser, or any other person in who replaces them as a substitute from the same organisation, attends the Event or not. -
Substitution Policy
Substitutions within organisations may be arranged if NewNet is notified in writing at least seven (7) days in advance of the Event and only if NewNet provides written approval for the substituion. No external substitutions may be made and under no circumstances may registrations be shared. -
Postponement
In the unlikely event that Newnet postpones an event, delegate payments already received will be credited to a future NewNet Event, on a date convenient to the attendee and will not have an expiration date. -
Force Majeure
If for any reason beyond NewNet's reasonable control (including but not limited to: strikes; acts, regulations or orders of governmental authorities; civil disorder; disasters; acts of terrorism; acts of war; acts of God) we believe it is not possible to run an event, Newnet reserves the right to retain delegate fees as a contribution to all venue and administrative costs incurred. -
Travel and accommodation
NewNet is not accountable for booking accommodation and transfers to and from the conference venue and will not accept liability for any public or individual transport disruption or deferral. In such circumstances, our standard cancellation policy applies. -
Speakers and agenda
Please be aware that all speakers were confirmed at the time of the published agenda, however, circumstances beyond the control of the organisers may necessitate substitutions, alterations or cancellations of the speakers and/or topics. NewNet reserves the right to alter or modify the advertised speakers and/or agenda topics if necessary. -
Attendees
NewNet makes no guarantee about the number of attendees at each Event and makes no guarantee about the relative distribution of attendees by company type, job title, role or any other categorisation. -
Copyright
By registering for an Event, you are agreeing that all pictures, videos and transcripts taken at the Event are the property of NewNet and can be used for future promotional and marketing activities. - Photography
Photographs and video footage ("Photography") of those attending an Event, may be taken by, or on behalf of, NewNet, or one of NewNet’s event partners (together, “Event Partners”) for use in all and any media in Event Partners’ publications or promotional materials (“Materials”) or on Event Partners’ websites. Event Partners will try to ensure that attendees are aware that they have been photographed or filmed, however, because of the nature of this event, this may not always be possible.
Event Partners may edit or alter Photography in any way which Event Partners deem appropriate. Photography will only be used in a manner which Event Partners, in their reasonable opinion, consider to be in good taste and will be unlikely to cause offence. If, however, you see Photography of yourself which you object to, please contact events@newenergyworldnetwork.comand Event Partners shall remove the Photography from their websites, or cease use of the Photography in future publications of Event Partner Materials.
By purchasing a ticket for an Event, you grant Event Partners permission to use any Photography of yourself for the purposes described above and you do not object to Event Partners storing copies of such Photography along with your contact details where these are provided by you.
