1. Purpose
SOL provides an app that can be accessed via solverona.com, its subdomains, or any domain and/or subdomain of our customers and also via API (collectively, the Application) via which it offers professional event organizers (the Organizers) a turnkey solution enabling them to create a platform for each of their events (the Event Platform) that can be accessed by registered natural persons and/or people who might be interested in the event (the Visitors) and businesses taking part in the event (Sponsors / Exhibitors).
The Application aims to enable Visitors and Sponsors / Exhibitors (collectively, the Users) to share content and easily connect with each other before, during and after the Event, in order to expand their business network.
The purpose of these general terms and conditions (the Terms of Use) is to lay down the procedures and conditions governing usage of the services provided by SOL to Users (the Services) and set out the rights and obligations of the parties within this scope.
If required, the Terms of Use may be supplemented by conditions of use that are specific to certain Services, which would then supplement the Terms of Use, and, if contradictory, would prevail over them.
