Terms of Service

Informa acquired Penton Information Services on November 2, 2016, bringing together two great Exhibitions and Information Services Groups to provide a greater range of products and information to our global customer base.

1. General; Incorporation of Other Terms and Privacy Statement

1.1 These Terms of Service (this “Agreement”) govern your use of the websites, other digital and electronic platforms, and their associated content, communications, tools, features, functionality and services (collectively, the “Service”), whether or not log-in or registration is required to access them, including interactive communities and other chat and forum discussion areas and other areas which permit Posts (as defined in Section 4), some of which offer “Q&A,” “Ask An Expert” and similar features (the “Communities”), in each case which are owned and operated by Informa Media, Inc. (f/k/a Penton Media, Inc.) and Informa Business Media, Inc. (f/k/a Penton Business Media, Inc.) (together with each of their respective divisions, subsidiaries and other affiliates “Informa” or “we”) and on which these Terms of Service appear.

1.2 Certain products and services offered by Informa which are governed by this Agreement also are governed by additional terms which are specified in a separate written agreement between one or more Informa entities and you or your company and/or are accessible directly from the website or other digital or electronic platform through which such products and services are delivered (“Additional Terms”; the terms of this Agreement and all applicable Additional Terms, the “Service Terms”). To the extent (but only to the extent) of any conflict between this Agreement and Additional Terms, such Additional Terms shall control with respect to your use of such product(s) or service(s) only. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to update or otherwise revise or modify all or any part of this Agreement (“TOS Changes”) at any time, and you are deemed to be apprised of and bound by all such TOS Changes, effective immediately upon your first use of the Service after the posting and confirmation of such TOS Changes by Informa’s updating the date indicated after the phrase “This Agreement was last updated on” at the end of this Agreement. TOS Changes will only affect your and our respective rights and obligations from and after the effective date of such TOS Changes with respect to you in accordance with the preceding sentence.

1.3 By accessing the Service, you affirmatively indicate your binding acknowledgment and acceptance of all Service Terms, including the TOS Changes made by Informa as permitted above, and your agreement to be bound by and comply fully with the Service Terms in their entirety. Failure to comply fully with the Service Terms may result in restriction, suspension, blockage or termination of access and use privileges for all or any part of the Service at any time without prior notice from or liability of Informa, and may result in additional legal actions taken against the offending individuals and organizations, in each case in our sole discretion. If you do not agree to any portion of this Agreement, you may not use the Service (or any portion thereof).

1.4 Registration data and certain other information about you and your activities on the Service are subject to Informa’s privacy statement, which you may review in full at any time at https://engage.informa.com/privacy-statement/. You understand that through your use of the Service you consent to the collection, storage and use of this data and information as provided in the Privacy Statement.

1.5 In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent, warrant and covenant to us that:

(a) If you access the Service in your capacity as an employee, owner, or otherwise as an agent of another person or entity, you agree on behalf of yourself and such person or entity, jointly and severally, to be bound by the Service Terms.

(b) You are at least 18 years old, you are competent, and you have the capacity and authority necessary to enter into, and perform your obligations under, the Service Terms (including on behalf of such person or entity, if applicable), and you are not a person barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.

(c) You will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of all applicable jurisdictions in connection with your use of the Service.

2. General Informa Intellectual Property Ownership Rights.

You acknowledge and agree that the tools and applications, data and other information, content (including its selection and arrangement), services and software (including all text, logos, photographs, graphics, images, video, audio, illustrations, software, html, source and object code, algorithms, business logic, modules, programs, links and other materials), product names, logos, designs, titles, and certain words or phrases, in each case displayed on, transmitted through, or accessed or used on, within, or in connection with the Service (all of the foregoing, collectively, “Service Content”), are intellectual property protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights of Informa or its licensors, suppliers or other designees, which rights may or may not be registered in certain jurisdictions. You acknowledge and agree that Informa reserves and retains, for itself and such third parties, as applicable, all intellectual property and other proprietary rights of any and all kinds in connection with the Service. You also agree to comply with any additional copyright notices, information, or restrictions contained in any Service Content available on or accessed through the Service.

3. Registration and Profile Creation.

In order to access certain features of the Service, you will be required to register by providing certain profile and contact information, and we may require or permit you to use your credentials for a third-party platform (such as LinkedIn) to so register (a “Social Sign-On”). In the event that registration is required, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form, and you agree not to impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or entity, including using another person’s username, password or other account information or another person’s name, likeness, voice, image or photograph. If you provide (or we have reason to suspect that you have provided) any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or there is unauthorized use of your user registration or we suspect fraudulent or abusive activity, we have the right, among other remedial options, to interrupt, restrict, suspend or terminate your current or future use of or access to the Service (or any portion thereof), without notice to you. Your account is for your sole, personal use; you may not authorize others to use your account, and you may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity. You agree to take all reasonable steps to protect the Service from unauthorized access or use. You are solely responsible for the security of your user registration and password and will be solely liable for any use or unauthorized use under same. You shall cooperate with us in any fraud investigation and use any reasonable fraud prevention measures we prescribe. Failure to cooperate will result in your liability for all fraudulent usage.

4. Posts to Communities on the Service.

Designated Communities within the Service permit you and other authorized users to post, submit, upload, transmit or otherwise make available comments, questions, answers, opinions, reviews, content, links, information (including profile information), communications and/or other material (each, a “Post”), all of which must comply with and are subject to the Service Terms.

4.1 By making Posts, you are consenting to allow us to display them to all users of the applicable Community (including those who are not logged in, or registered to participate in, the Community), and to feature them on other Informa properties, in addition to the more general licenses set forth below in this Section 4 (collectively, the “Posts License”).

4.2 By registering via a Social Sign-On, you are granting your consent for us to display the name and photograph and other information associated with your applicable third-party platform profile in connection with the display of your Posts.

4.3 You hereby grant to Informa and its designees, an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, freely sub-licensable and transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free license and right (but not the obligation) to (i) Use your Posts (including the ideas embodied therein) and (ii) use your name, user/log-in name, likeness, biographic and other profile information about you in connection with any use of your Posts, in each case without payment or other additional consideration of any kind, or permission or notification, to you or any third party, and without crediting you. “Use” means, without limitation, the irrevocable right to publish, copy, reproduce, prepare derivative works, combine with other works, alter, translate, distribute copies, display, perform, license or otherwise use or exploit your Posts, or portions thereof, alone or with other material, with or without revisions, without notice and without obligation, payment, accounting, or other reference or attribution to you or any other person or entity, in the name of Informa or its designees throughout the world in perpetuity in any and all media now or hereafter known and for any purpose, without obtaining further permission from you or any other person or entity.

4.4 Without limiting the foregoing, you also hereby permit Informa and its designees to use portions of your Posts, to modify or rewrite any of your Posts, and/or to incorporate other materials, either created by Informa and/or its designees or licensed from third parties (any of the foregoing, “Edits”), with the Posts, and all resulting Edits and/or derivative works (including, in each case, all intellectual property and proprietary rights therein) shall be owned by Informa and/or such designees and not subject to your approval or payment by Informa or any other party of any compensation to you.

4.5 The Posts License applies whether or not the Posts are or could be protected under applicable intellectual property laws, such as the copyright, trademark or patent laws of or within the United States or any other applicable countries or jurisdictions. You acknowledge and agree that you are receiving good and valuable consideration for the rights you are granting herein, such consideration is adequate, satisfactory, and complete, and includes your right to access and use the Service in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Service Terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you hereby waive all moral rights, rights of attribution, rights of privacy and rights of publicity in your Posts that may be available to you in any part of the world. You hereby confirm that no such rights have been or will be asserted.

4.6 You further acknowledge and agree that your Posts do not contain confidential or proprietary information, the relationship between you and Informa is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other special relationship, and Informa is not under any obligation of confidentiality, privacy, secrecy or use restriction of any kind, express or implied, with respect to your Posts, all of which may be used by Informa under the Posts License or any applicable assignment made pursuant to an agreement between Informa and you or your employer, and without any further obligation to you.

4.7 Informa may be considering, contemplating or developing the same or a similar idea (and/or related products, services, concepts, systems or techniques) to one or more ideas (and/or products, services, concepts, systems and/or techniques) reflected in your Posts submitted on the Service, whether before, at the time of or following your submission. Without limiting the Posts License in any respect, you hereby waive any and all claims you may have had, may have currently, and/or may have in the future, that any ideas or materials accepted, reviewed and/or used by Informa and its designees (and/or any related products, services, concepts, systems and/or techniques) in any way (i) may be similar to or unlawfully or otherwise improperly compete with your Posts or any of the contents thereof or (ii) violate any obligation of Informa to you or any other person or entity that in any way is alleged to arise from or relate to your Posts or any of the contents thereof.

4.8 You represent and warrant to us that you are authorized to grant all rights pursuant to the Posts License and, further, your Posts: (i) are truthful and accurate, and contain solely original content owned by you, content for which you have received express permission from the owner and have provided proper attribution to same, or content in the public domain (and you assume all responsibility for making such determinations and acquiring all necessary authorizations and approvals related to your Posts); (ii) do not violate and will not violate the rights of any third party or any local, state, national or foreign law, including any right of publicity, right of privacy, confidentiality or any other contractual or proprietary right, including patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret rights; (iii) disclose all affiliations or relations necessary so that such Posts are not deceptive or misleading (for example, if you are commenting upon a company and work for that company, then this should be disclosed); and (iv) comply with all other provisions of this Agreement (including Section)

5. Managing Posts.

5.1 Informa is under no obligation to review any Posts by users and shall have no responsibility or liability relating to any such Posts or the conduct of any user submitting Posts of any nature. However, Informa shall have the right in its sole discretion, without obligation and without notice or liability, to (or elect not to) delete, move or edit any Posts or other content that it may determine is or may be unlawful or a violation of this Agreement or any other Informa policy or agreement with Informa, or otherwise contains errors or omissions or is unacceptable or inappropriate for any reason. (With respect to copyrighted content, see also Section 13 regarding DMCA notices.)

5.2 Informa cannot guarantee that individuals making Posts or otherwise participating in any Community are who they represent themselves to be, nor does Informa endorse, represent or validate, or have any responsibility or liability for, the content, accuracy or reliability of, or the statements, assertions, views or opinions expressed in, any Posts, and you acknowledge that any reliance upon same shall be at your sole risk.
