Terms of Service

Last updated: April 16, 2026

1. Who operates this website

This website is operated by the APCS 2027 Organizing Committee for APCS 2027 (The 15th Asian Pacific Conference on Shell and Spatial Structures).

2. Scope of these terms

These Terms govern your use of the APCS 2027 website and related site-facing services, including:

  • public pages, information pages, and downloadable or linked conference resources made available through this website
  • user-account access and account-related site functions
  • registration, order, payment, refund, receipt, confirmation, and other site-facing commerce or attendee-support flows
  • linked workflow guidance for conference submission and post-submission next steps

These Terms do not replace any separate rules, notices, or agreements shown inside a third-party submission system, payment flow, or other connected service. When you move to those services, their own terms, policies, and operating notices may also apply.

3. Eligibility and account responsibilities

You are responsible for using the APCS 2027 website and any APCS account in a lawful and honest manner.

  • You must provide accurate and reasonably current information when creating or using an account, registering, or contacting APCS 2027.
  • You must keep your login credentials confidential and are responsible for activity that occurs through your account unless unauthorized use resulted from circumstances outside your control.
  • If you believe your account has been used without authorization, you should promptly contact APCS 2027.
  • APCS 2027 may suspend or restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect website security, event operations, other users, or compliance obligations.

4. Acceptable use

You may use this website only for legitimate conference-related, informational, registration-related, or support-related purposes.

  • You must not interfere with the normal operation or security of the website.
  • You must not attempt unauthorized access, impersonate another user, or provide materially false information.
  • You must not upload or transmit unlawful, infringing, malicious, or harmful materials through APCS 2027 site-facing services.
  • You must not reuse website content, branding, or materials beyond what is permitted by law or by APCS 2027’s express permission.

5. Submission workflow and external systems

The APCS 2027 website currently connects to a separate submission system for submission and review workflow. The APCS 2027 website may explain how to move into that workflow, reflect certain status information, or present next-action guidance, but the connected submission system remains a separate service boundary.

  • If you submit abstracts, papers, metadata, author details, or files through a connected submission system, you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to provide those materials and that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
  • Submission, review, editorial, and post-acceptance actions may be governed by separate notices or rules shown in the connected submission workflow.
  • Website-facing guidance does not replace the rules, deadlines, or notices displayed at the relevant submission step.

6. Registration, orders, payment, and refunds

APCS 2027 may provide site-facing registration, order, payment, refund, and related document flows through this website and connected commerce services.

  • Registration availability, pricing, eligibility, payment methods, order conditions, and related commercial details are governed by the information shown on the relevant APCS 2027 pages or transaction screens at the time of the transaction.
  • Orders, receipts, confirmations, refund requests, and related records form part of the APCS 2027 transaction record.
  • Payments are handled through connected payment services rather than by publishing or storing full payment-card details in APCS 2027 page content.
  • Refund handling is subject to the registration-related pages, transaction-specific notices, and applicable law.
  • Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any non-excludable rights or remedies available under applicable consumer-protection law.

7. Website content and intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the APCS 2027 website’s text, structure, branding, page design, and conference information presentation are owned by APCS 2027 or used with permission of the relevant rightsholder.

  • You may use the website for personal, institutional, or professional conference-planning and participation purposes.
  • You must not copy, republish, distribute, or commercially exploit website content in a way that exceeds applicable law or APCS 2027’s permission.
  • Materials submitted through connected submission services remain subject to the rules and notices shown in that workflow or in separate APCS 2027 conference notices.

8. Availability, accuracy, and changes

APCS 2027 works to keep this website useful and reasonably current, but some information may change as conference operations develop.

  • Schedules, committees, registration information, submission guidance, and other operational information may be updated, corrected, suspended, or replaced.
  • Some pages may include time-sensitive information and should be read together with the most current APCS 2027 notices.
  • APCS 2027 may change, suspend, or discontinue parts of the website or related workflows where reasonably necessary for operations, maintenance, legal compliance, or service integrity.
  • Links to third-party services are provided for workflow continuity or convenience and are not a guarantee of third-party service availability or performance.

9. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the APCS 2027 website and its related public information and site-facing services are provided on an operational, as-available basis.

  • APCS 2027 does not guarantee that every page, workflow, or external service connection will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times.
  • APCS 2027 is not responsible for losses arising solely from third-party services, external-system outages, or circumstances beyond reasonable operational control, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded by law.
  • Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted under applicable law.

10. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.

If a dispute arises, the parties should first try to resolve it in good faith through APCS 2027 contact channels. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, it may be handled by the competent court or authority under applicable law. Mandatory consumer-protection rights remain unaffected.

11. Changes to these terms

APCS 2027 may update these Terms of Service when website operations, connected services, legal requirements, or conference workflows change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
