Carney Creatives Event Terms & Conditions — Tickets & Sponsorship

Effective date: 24 August 2026 Last updated: 24 August 2026 These terms and conditions apply when you buy a ticket for, or take sponsorship or exhibitor space at, an event run by Carney Creatives. Please read them carefully. By buying a ticket or submitting a booking, you agree to these terms. 1. Definitions “We”, “us”, “our” or the “Organiser” means Tracey Carney, trading as Carney Creatives. “Event” means the conference, awards, exhibition or other event we are running, as described on the ticket page or booking form. “Attendee” or “you” means a person who buys or holds a ticket to an Event. “Sponsor” means any person, business or company that applies for and is granted sponsorship or exhibitor space at an Event. “Booking Form” means our official form (in any format) used to apply for sponsorship or exhibitor space. 2. About these terms These terms are governed by Irish law. They also include any other rules or information we issue for an Event from time to time – for example event information packs, joining instructions or venue rules. If anything in an Event-specific document conflicts with these terms, the Event-specific document applies to that point. Part A — Tickets and registration (for attendees) 3. Buying tickets A contract between you and us is formed when we confirm your ticket purchase or registration (for example by email). We may sell tickets ourselves or through a third-party ticketing provider, whose own terms may also apply to the booking process. 4. Payment Ticket prices are shown at the point of sale and include VAT where it applies. Full payment is required at the time of booking unless we agree otherwise in writing. Your place is only confirmed once payment has been received. 5. Cancellations, refunds and transfers All ticket sales are final and tickets are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your ticket to someone else by updating the attendee details through the ticketing app or platform where you bought it, in reasonable time before the Event. This does not affect any legal rights you may have if we cancel the Event (see Part C). 6. Entry and conduct You must follow the reasonable instructions of our team and the venue while at an Event. We may refuse entry to, or remove, anyone who behaves in a way that is unsafe, unlawful, or disruptive to others, without a refund. Tickets may be limited to one person and may not be resold for profit without our permission. Part B — Sponsorship and exhibitor bookings 7. Applications Applications for sponsorship or exhibitor space must be made on our Booking Form. We may, at our discretion, also accept an application by purchase order, in writing, or by taking a deposit in place of a signed form – in each case on the understanding that these terms apply. 8. Authority to sign The person signing or submitting the Booking Form on behalf of a Sponsor is treated as having full authority to do so. The Sponsor may not later claim that the person did not have that authority. 9. The agreement A contract is formed between us and the Sponsor when we accept the Booking Form. We may accept an application in writing, by email, or orally (including by telephone). From the date the Sponsor signs the Booking Form, the Sponsor holds any allotted space as a licence from us – it does not give the Sponsor any ownership or tenancy rights over the venue or space. 10. Payment (sponsorship) Once we have a signed booking, we may issue an invoice. Payment terms are as set out in the sponsorship agreement or invoice. Where no other terms are stated, payment must be made within 30 days of the invoice date or at least 7 days before the Event, whichever is sooner. We may withhold sponsor benefits until payment is received in full. 11. Cancellation by a Sponsor If a Sponsor wishes to cancel, they will forfeit 100% of the agreed sponsorship or exhibitor fee, plus VAT. This applies however much notice is given. The same charge applies if a Sponsor fails to meet its payment obligations, without affecting any other right or remedy we may have. 12. Insolvency If a Sponsor becomes insolvent or bankrupt, goes into liquidation, or has a receiver or administrator appointed over its assets, we may end the contract immediately, and the cancellation terms above will apply. Part C — General (applies to everyone) 13. Changes, postponement or cancellation by us We reserve the right to change the programme, speakers, format or venue of an Event where necessary, and to move the Event to another suitable venue without changing the terms of a sponsorship. We may also postpone or cancel an Event. If we cancel an Event, we will either refund attendee ticket fees and sponsorship fees, or – where agreed in writing with a Sponsor – hold the sponsorship fee against a future event. Where an Event is postponed, your ticket or booking will normally be valid for the rescheduled date. Attendance numbers being higher or lower than expected is not a reason for a refund or an extra charge. 14. Circumstances beyond our control We are not responsible for failing to run an Event, or for changes to it, caused by events beyond our reasonable control – for example fire, flood, severe weather, illness or public-health measures, strikes, venue failure, or government restrictions. In those circumstances we will act reasonably and, where practical, offer a rescheduled date or a credit. 15. Our liability We provide our Events with reasonable care and skill. We are not liable for any loss of profit, business or opportunity, or for any indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited under law. You are responsible for your own belongings while at an Event. 16. Photography and filming We may photograph and film our Events for marketing and promotional use. If you would prefer not to appear, please tell our team at the Event or contact us in advance. Please see our Privacy Policy for more detail. 17. Your personal data We handle any personal data you give us in line with our Privacy Policy, which explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights. Any questions can be sent to tracey@carneycreatives.com. 18. General We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another business. You may not transfer yours without our agreement (other than a ticket transfer under clause 5). These terms are the whole agreement between us in relation to an Event. If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, the rest will continue to apply. A delay in enforcing these terms is not a waiver of our rights. 19. Governing law These terms are governed by Irish law, and any disputes will be dealt with by the courts of Ireland. 20. Contact us Carney Creatives, 4 Strangford Gardens, East Wall, Dublin, D03 FK53. Email: tracey@carneycreatives.com. Note: This is a plain-English draft for your use. For high-value sponsorship contracts it is worth having a solicitor review it before you rely on it.

Introduction Carney Creatives (“we”, “our” or “us”) is an events business, and we take the privacy of everyone we work with seriously – our clients, event attendees, sponsors and website visitors. This policy explains, in plain terms, what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we look after it, and the rights you have over it. We handle your personal information in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Irish data protection law. This policy covers all the personal information we collect and use in running our business – through our website, event registration and ticketing, the events themselves, and lead scanning at events. 1. Who is responsible for your data The person responsible for your personal information (the “data controller”) is: Business: Tracey Carney, trading as Carney Creatives Address: 4 Strangford Gardens, East Wall, Dublin, D03 FK53 Email: tracey@carneycreatives.com 2. The information we collect In plain English: Mostly the details you give us when you book, sign up or attend – plus some technical data our website collects automatically. Information you give us Contact and profile details: your name, job title, company, email address and phone number. Booking details: the tickets or services you book and the information needed to process your payment. Event details: your preferences, sessions you attend, and any dietary or accessibility requirements you tell us about. Information we collect automatically Technical data: your IP address, browser type, device information and general analytics about how our website is used. We collect the information you give us directly – for example when you register, buy a ticket, subscribe to our updates, contact us, or take part in an event. Technical data is collected automatically through cookies and similar tools to help our website work and to improve your experience. Cookies Our website uses cookies to help it function properly, to keep it secure, and to understand how visitors use it. You can control or turn off cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the website may not work as well if you do. 3. Why we use your information and our legal basis Under GDPR we must have a valid legal reason for using your information. The table below sets out what we use, why, and the legal basis for each: Data we use Why we use it Legal basis Name, email, phone number To register you for an event and provide the services you signed up for Performance of a contract Payment / billing details To process your ticket or booking payment Performance of a contract Job title, company, event role To create your event profile and enable networking Performance of a contract Name, email To send newsletters, event updates and marketing (where you have opted in) Consent Name, email To send post-event surveys and feedback requests Consent Photographs and video from events For event recordings, photography and marketing materials Legitimate interest IP address, browser and device data To keep our website working properly and secure Legitimate interest

Where we rely on your consent (for example marketing emails), you can withdraw it at any time. Where we rely on legitimate interest, we have weighed our reasons against your rights, and you can object – see “Your rights” below. 4. Lead scanning at events In plain English: If you let a sponsor scan your badge, you’re choosing to share your contact details with them. Some of our events offer lead scanning so that sponsors and exhibitors can follow up with attendees who are interested in them. If you allow your badge to be scanned by a sponsor or exhibitor, you are consenting to share the following with them: Contact details: your name, job title, company, email address and, if provided, your phone number. Event engagement: information such as sessions you attended and interests you indicated. Consent is given at the event itself – by choosing to have your badge scanned by that third party. We ask sponsors and exhibitors to handle this information in line with GDPR and to use it only to contact you about matters relating to the event. Once your details are shared, that sponsor or exhibitor becomes responsible for how they use them under their own privacy policy. 5. Photography and filming at events In plain English: We photograph and film our events for marketing. If you’d rather not appear, just tell us. We often take photographs and video at our events to use in recordings, on our website, and in marketing and promotional materials. If you would prefer not to be photographed or filmed, please let a member of our team know at the event, or email us in advance. If an image of you has already been published and you would like it removed, contact us at tracey@carneycreatives.com and we will do our best to accommodate your request. 6. Who we share your information with We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with: Service providers: trusted companies that help us run our business – for example ticketing platforms, email and event software, and payment providers – who only use it to provide their service to us. Sponsors and partners: where you have chosen to share your details with them (for example through lead scanning) or otherwise given your consent. Legal authorities: where we are required to by law, or where necessary to protect our legal rights. Where a third party handles your information, they are responsible for it under their own privacy policy, and we recommend you review theirs. 7. How long we keep your information We keep your personal information only for as long as we need it. In general, information relating to event participation is kept for up to one year after the event, unless the law requires us to keep it longer (for example financial records). Information shared through lead scanning is held and managed by the relevant sponsor under their own policies. 8. Your rights Under GDPR you have the right to: Access the personal information we hold about you. Have inaccurate or out-of-date information corrected. Ask us to delete your information, subject to any legal limits. Ask us to restrict how we use your information. Object to direct marketing at any time. Withdraw your consent where we rely on it. Ask for your information to be transferred to another provider (data portability). To exercise any of these rights, please email us at tracey@carneycreatives.com. You also have the right to make a complaint to the Data Protection Commission (www.dataprotection.ie) if you are unhappy with how we have handled your information. 9. Children’s data Our events and services are aimed at adults and are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, please contact us and we will delete it. 10. Keeping your information secure We use appropriate technical and organisational measures – such as access controls, secure systems and encryption where suitable – to protect your personal information. If a data breach occurs that is likely to affect your privacy, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law. 11. Transfers outside the EEA Some of the providers we use may store or process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where that happens, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place – such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision – so your information continues to be protected to GDPR standards. 12. Changes to this policy We may update this policy from time to time. Where we make significant changes, we will update the date at the top and, where appropriate, let you know. We encourage you to review this policy from time to time. 13. Contact us If you have any questions about this policy or about how we use your information, please contact us at tracey@carneycreatives.com.
