Registration, Invoice and Payment

After registration the Registrant will receive an automatically generated confirmation email of his/her registration showing the details which have been submitted through the registration form.

This confirmation email doesn’t count as a guarantee of participation.

In case that the number of Registrants is higher than the capacity of the Event, a selection procedure will be held. The selection procedure will take into account the nature of the Event, being a get together of a balanced mix of Participants of various countries and thus set a limit on overrepresented Registrants of the same country of origin in the total of all Registrants.

Organizer reserves the right to refuse a Registrant to become a Participant due to misbehavior in prior editions of the Event, ill health, insufficient level of inline skating skills known to Organizer, or any other reason at the discretion of Organizer.

Selected Registrant will become a Participant in the Event after receipt of an invoice, issued by the organization and payment of that invoice.

The Organizer reserves the right to cancel the Agreement with immediate effect in case the number of registrations is smaller than the minimum number of registrations required for organizing a break-even Event.

The Participant shall provide the organizer his/her personal details and his/her fellow-Participant(s). The Participant will inform Organizer if any changes occur.
