Terms & Conditions

In these Terms and Conditions, ’QICDRC‘, ’Us’‘, ’We‘ and ’Our‘ refer to the Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre, and references to ’You‘ and ’Your‘ are to You, the Participant, both as defined below. 

’QICDRC‘ refers to the Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre, which is the counterparty organisation to this agreement. 

A ’QICDRC Training Course‘ is any training course organised and run by, or held in conjunction with, QICDRC, or publicly branded as a QICDRC Training Course and promoted on the QICDRC’s website. 

The ’Participant‘ is the individual who has booked a place on a QICDRC Training Course. 

Once you have made a provisional booking, we will send you an invoice for payment. Payment must be received by us within 7 days to retain and confirm your booking. 

All payments must be received by us at least 21 days before the date of the relevant QICDRC Training Course. Where you receive an invoice in respect of a booking that you had made and the relevant QICDRC Training Course is due to commence within 21 days, payment must be made at the time of booking. 

If we have not received payment from you in advance of the QICDRC Training Course and as set out above, then we will be entitled to cancel your booking and offer it to another person without notice to you without a refund. In these circumstances, you will not be able to attend the relevant QICDRC Training Course.

Where you do not attend the relevant QICDRC Training Course having paid, the QICDRC reserves the right not to refund you for the cost of your booking. 

We reserve the right to amend or cancel any QICDRC Training Course. This includes, but is not limited to, changes to the date and/or time, trainer(s) and content of the relevant QICDRC Training Course. 

If a QICDRC Training Course is cancelled, we will transfer your booking to an alternative equivalent QICDRC Training Course. Where we are not able to transfer your booking, we will provide you with an option for a full refund (except in the case of cancellation owing to any Force Majeure as detailed in below)

Where you are offered the option of a full refund, you will not be entitled to receive any other reimbursement and we will not therefore pay for any travel or expenses associated with your attendance, or planned attendance, at the relevant QICDRC Training Course. 

Where you wish to cancel your booking, you must do so by sending an email to the QICDRC at programs@qicdrc.gov.qa. The QICDRC will only offer a refund in exceptional circumstances to be decided on a case-by-case basis. Furthermore, to be eligible to receive a refund, your cancellation must be received at least 6 weeks in advance of the relevant QICDRC Training Course.

As an alternative to cancelling your booking, you may instead request a transfer to an alternative equivalent QICDRC Training Course. Any such request must be sent to the Registry at least 6 weeks in advance of the QICDRC Training Course for which you have a booking. The QICDRC reserves the right not to transfer your booking to an alternative equivalent QICDRC Training Course if it is not practicable to do so.

Your data will be collected and processed in accordance with our Privacy Statement and the the Qatar Financial Centre Data Protection Regulations 2021. 

Once you have booked a place on a QICDRC Training Course, we will use your email address to send you any information relevant to that specific QICDRC Training Course. Unless you opt in, you will not be added to any other mailing lists after the relevant QICDRC Training Course has taken place. 

We occasionally take videos and photographs at QICDRC Training Courses and, where we do, you will be notified in advance. Before the relevant QICDRC Training Course you can request not to be included in any photography or videos by emailing qicdrcmarketing@qicdrc.gov.qa or notifying one of our employees upon arrival. After the relevant QICDRC Training Course, so far as is reasonable and practicable, you can request to be edited out of videos or to have a photograph removed from our website or social media accounts by emailing qicdrcmarketing@qicdrc.gov.qa. 

We have moral and registered rights in our trademarks, and you shall not copy, alter, use or otherwise deal in our trademarks without our prior written consent. 

The copyright of all materials associated with QICDRC Training Courses rest with Us. Without the express written permission of the QICDRC, you shall not reproduce or replicate the materials in any way or incorporate them into or store them on any website, electronic retrieval system, publication or in any other form. 

The QICDRC is not responsible for any accident, injury, or loss suffered while attending ANY QICDRC Training Course.

The QICDRC is not responsible for allergens contained in food and drink provided at any QICDRC Training Course. If you are allergic, intolerant, or sensitive to certain allergens or have any specific dietary requirements, please notify us by sending an email to programs@qicdrc.gov.qa at least 14 days in advance of the relevant QICDRC Training Course, and we will use reasonable endeavours to accommodate your needs. 

The QICDRC is not responsible for the conduct or activities of any Participant and we are not therefore liable for such under any circumstances. 

In no circumstances will we be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, loss or corruption of data, loss of profits, goodwill, bargain or opportunity, loss of anticipated savings or any other similar or analogous loss resulting from your attendance at a QICDRC Training Course, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, negligence, in equity or any other legal theory, and whether or not we knew or should have known of the possibility of such damage to business interruption of any type, whether in tort, contract or otherwise.

For the purposes of these Terms & Conditions, “Force Majeure” means any cause beyond our control including, without limitation, act of God, war, insurrection, riot, civil disturbance, acts of terrorism, fire, explosion, flood, theft of essential equipment, malicious damage, strike, lock out, weather, third party injunction, national defence requirements, actions taken by the police, acts or regulations of national or local governments, or the inability for us to hold the QICDRC Training Course as a result of any epidemic/pandemic. We will not be liable to you for failure to perform any obligation under these Terms and Conditions to the extent that the failure is caused by Force Majeure, and you shall not be entitled to any refund of any purchased tickets. 

These Terms and Conditions form part of an e-commerce transaction, and the parties agree that these Terms and Conditions shall be accepted electronically and the agreement to these Terms and Conditions is formed and validly entered into electronically. 

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations of the Qatar Financial Centre, and any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the QFC Civil and Commercial Court.
