4.1. EMN is not responsible for examining or evaluating the events or other offerings of any of the event organisers, advertisers and partners promoted or linked to on this website. EMN does not warrant the offerings of any of these businesses, organisations or individuals or the content of their websites.

Event organisers are responsible for notifying you of any changes or news related to events you’ve registered for. For events where you are interested but haven’t registered, you are responsible for checking for any news related to that event.
