    10.3.2. allow the Indemnifying Party, at its own cost, to conduct all negotiations and proceedings and to settle the IPR Claim, always provided that the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the Indemnified Party’s prior approval of any settlement terms, which is not to be unreasonably withheld;
    10.3.3. provide the Indemnifying Party with any reasonable assistance regarding the IPR Claim as is required by the Indemnifying Party, subject to reimbursement by the Indemnifying Party of the Indemnified Party’s costs so incurred; and
    10.3.4. not, without prior consultation with the Indemnifying Party, make any admission relating to the IPR Claim or attempt to settle it, provided that the Indemnifying Party considers and defends any IPR Claim diligently and in a way that does not bring the reputation of the Indemnified Party into disrepute.

    11.1.4. the other party ceases, or threatens to cease, to carry on all or substantially the whole of its business; or
    11.1.5. any event occurs, or proceeding is taken, with respect to the other party in any jurisdiction to which it is subject that has an effect equivalent or similar to any of the events mentioned in condition 11.1.3 to 11.1.4 inclusive.
    11.2. Without limiting our other rights or remedies, we may suspend the Event and/or terminate the Contract if you become subject to any of the events listed in conditions 11.1.3 to 11.1.4, or we reasonably believe that you are about to become subject to any of them.
    11.3. If we cancel or make a significant change to the Event which is due to a Force Majeure Incident we will not be liable to offer you any compensation or be liable for any losses or damages.

If cancelled prior to the inclusion of your company’s name or logo onto marketing collateral or other hard copy or electronic literature relating to the Event or within 30 days of the date of the Order, whichever is earlier, you will be liable to pay 50% of the overall Sponsorship Fee. After 30 days or following the inclusion of your company name or logo onto marketing collateral or other hard copy or electronic literature relating to the Event, whichever is earlier, you will be liable for 100% of the Sponsorship Fee and any other Charges reasonably incurred.

Modern Slavery Policy

Modern Slavery Act

The Act requires businesses to disclose policies, plans and actions to address the issues of slavery and human trafficking in supply chains. The disclosures are intended to enable customers to make informed choices about the products and services they buy and companies they support.

Agriconnect is committed to maintaining and improving its supplier policies and processes to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of our business or within our supply chains.

Our business

Agriconnect publishes a variety of print and digital B2B content and organises conferences and events to serve its target market.

In doing so, it relies on suppliers, who are scattered around the world. Key suppliers are those providing IT platforms to enable us to deliver our digital services, some of whom operate in countries in which the risk of forced labour is significantly greater than in the UK. It also organises events in various parts of the world which are dependent on third party providers of venues and facilities, each of which are further key suppliers. Their everyday operations are not necessarily conducted according to the moral and legal standards prevalent in the UK. This necessitates careful evaluation of such suppliers, which Agriconnect undertakes.

Supply Chain verification

Agriconnect undertakes informal supplier selection procedures across all of its activities. These policies and procedures include risk assessments with reference to slavery and human trafficking. A key element of our supplier selection is to ensure that rigorous and effective anti-slavery and human trafficking warranties and undertakings are in place throughout our contracts with third party suppliers.

Supplier Certification

Serious violations of our terms and conditions would lead to the termination of the business relationship Agriconnect enjoys with a supplier.

Internal Accountability

Our internal accountability standards and procedures help us to ensure that all our employees conduct business in an ethical manner. Agriconnect requires its staff to comply with the laws of the countries in which we operate and with all Agriconnect policies, including employee handbooks and standard operating procedures. Infringement of the law or company policies is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of the employment contract.

Training

At Agriconnect, we believe that training is an important part of effective human rights practices. We have instituted a programme of training sessions for key staff on human trafficking and slavery, particularly on mitigating risks within supply chains.

Awareness Raising

Agriconnect invests in educating its staff to recognise the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. Awareness of modern slavery issues is being communicated to staff both face-to-face and electronically.

Our employees are encouraged to identify, prevent and if necessary report potential slavery or human trafficking issues.

Board approval
This statement has been approved by the Board of Directors.
