AUTHORISED USERS

18. When you request a Pass online, you will be given a unique username and/or password giving you access to your account (your “Account”). You must keep your username and password confidential at all times as you are responsible for all activities undertaken through your Account.

19. You agree to log off from your Account at the end of each session and to email us immediately at delegates@canneslions.com if you become aware of any loss, theft or unauthorised use or disclosure of your username/password and/or Account.

20. A single username and password must be used by each user, and not made available to multiple users (i.e. no sharing of usernames and passwords). Breach of this Clause 20 shall be considered a material breach of these terms and conditions.

DATA PROTECTION

21. General. LIONS agrees that it will take appropriate technical and organisational measures against the accidental, unlawful or unauthorised processing, destruction, loss, damage or disclosure of personal data (as defined by applicable laws) received or used in fulfilling its obligations under these terms and conditions. 

22. Privacy Policy. Further information about how LIONS uses personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy and our Cookies Policy.

23. Communications. We will use email addresses provided to us to send delegates important Festival information, including but not limited to, speaker announcements, programme updates and invitations to special Festival events, that we believe will enhance their Festival experience. All delegates will have the option to opt out of communications.

24. Cannes Lions delegate listing. To further enable networking among delegates at the Festival, we will share your name, job title, company name and country or city where you are based (the “Delegate Information”) with other delegates, third parties and sponsors via our secure networking service in the official LIONS Festival mobile application (“LIONS App”).

25. You are in control. Delegates’ email address and telephone numbers will not be made public through the delegate listing or otherwise. If a delegate chooses to message another delegate, the message will be sent from the delegate’s profile. If a delegate chooses to reply, further communication will continue through the delegates’ chat function. All delegates can opt out of networking on the LIONS App: (a) during the registration process; (b) by emailing delegates@canneslions.com; or (c) by logging into the LIONS App and opting out through the app settings, once the app has gone live. If a delegate opts out, this will disable contact from other delegates and deny access to the delegate listing. Their delegate Information will no longer be visible on the delegate listing. After the Festival, the delegate listing will be discontinued and all Delegate Information will be removed from the LIONS App.

26. Reservation of rights – LIONS reserves the right to deny access and remove any delegates from the delegate listing for inappropriate use. You agree to use the delegate listing respectfully and solely to network, exchange ideas and contact details where appropriate.

CHANGES TO THE FESTIVAL, NAME CHANGES AND CANCELLATION POLICY

27. We reserve the right to: (a) alter the advertised format, date, timing, content and/or location of the Festival; or (b) to cancel the Festival, in each case at any time. Where we change the format, date, timing, content or location of the Festival, your Pass for the Festival will be valid for the Festival as altered. You will not be entitled to a refund and we shall not be liable to you for any other cost or other expenses (including, without limitation, wasted costs and expenses) incurred by you as a consequence (including, without limitation, travel and accommodation expenses, including any visa, entry or other travel requirements).

28. Notwithstanding any other provision of these terms and conditions, if we determine that it has become commercially impractical or unfeasible to hold the Festival, we will notify you in writing as soon as reasonably practicable and your Pass will be transferred to the next edition of the Festival. We reserve the right to do this at any time and we shall not be liable to you for any other cost or other expenses (including, without limitation, wasted costs and expenses) incurred by you as a consequence (including, without limitation, travel and accommodation expenses). Save as expressly set out in these terms and conditions you have no right to cancel or revoke a Confirmed Order.

29. With respect to a delegate Pass (excluding the Connector, Creator, Creative Academy, Brand Marketing Academy, and Digital where replacements shall not apply), any requests to replace one delegate for another must be made via the “My Account” area of the Website.

Classic and Young Lions passes) and €125 + TVA for Students.

31. Unless explicitly set out in these terms and conditions (e.g. for an Order Rejection), you will not be entitled to a refund following Acceptance, nor will you be entitled to receive a credit for a future Festival of your choice. This policy also applies to Pass downgrades. In addition, no refunds or credits for the current or future Festivals will be given for non-attendance at the Festival or otherwise non-use of your Pass.

32. It will be possible to request a Pass upgrade (e.g. from a ‘Classic Pass’ to a ‘Gold Pass’), from the “My Passes” section of your “My Account” area of our Website. Additional fees will apply to Pass upgrades. It will be possible to request a Pass downgrade (e.g. from a ‘Gold Pass’ to a ‘Classic Pass’) by emailing delegates@canneslions.com; however, no refunds or credit for the current or future Festivals will be given for Pass downgrades.

33. If you do not know the name of the delegate(s) attending at the time of booking, depending on the type of Pass, you may still register the delegates without providing their details before midnight BST Friday 16 May 2025.
