1.1Ethene Labs, we, us and our mean Ethene Labs XYZ Pte. Ltd. (Singapore, UEN 202409798N, 72 Bendemeer Road #03-14, Singapore 339941) and Ethene Labs Ltd. (British Virgin Islands, Company No. 2191989, Road Town, Tortola), together and each of them.
1.2Finality Forum is the institutional digital assets conference held in Singapore on 9 October 2026, during TOKEN2049 week. Ethene Labs is the organizer of Finality Forum and owns and operates the Finality Forum brand.
1.3The Organizer is Ethene Labs XYZ Pte. Ltd.
1.4Event means Finality Forum and any official Finality Forum side event, dinner, workshop, hackathon, meetup or online session that Ethene Labs organizes, co-organizes or hosts around it.
1.5Event Page means the registration page for an Event, including the Finality Forum Luma page, and any page on finalityforum.xyz that describes the Event.
1.6These Terms apply where the Event Page or the registration form links to them or states that they apply. Where a side event is delivered for a client or partner under that party’s branding, their own terms apply unless the Event Page says otherwise.
1.7Attendee and you mean any person who registers for, is admitted to or attends an Event, including speakers, sponsor staff, media, partners and guests.
1.8By registering for, being admitted to or attending an Event you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms, including the personal data provisions in Clause 8. Where the law requires your consent for a particular use of your personal data, we will ask for that consent separately. If you do not agree, do not register or attend.
1.9Each Event Page may set out additional terms for that Event, such as dates, venue, ticket fees, dress code or a code of conduct. Those terms apply together with these Terms. If they conflict, the Event Page terms prevail for that Event only.

2.2You must provide accurate and complete information when you register and must update the Organizer if it changes.

2.4Approved registrations are confirmed through the registration platform. Only Attendees with an approved registration and valid identification are admitted.
2.5Registrations are personal. You may not transfer, resell or assign your registration unless the Event Page allows it.
2.6Attendees must be 18 years of age or older unless the Event Page states otherwise.
2.7The Organizer may refuse admission to, or remove from the Event, any person who breaches these Terms, who behaves in a manner the Organizer considers unsafe, disruptive or inappropriate, or whose attendance the Organizer considers to be against the interests of the Event. No refund is due in these cases.
2.8Venue capacity is limited and approved places are capped. Admission may be refused if the venue is full, even to Attendees with an approved registration.
3Tickets, fees and refunds
3.1Finality Forum is free to attend for approved Attendees. Where a fee applies to an Event, the fee, currency and payment method are stated on the Event Page.
3.2Fees are non-refundable unless the Event Page states otherwise or Clause 4.3 applies.
3.3Fees exclude any taxes, bank charges or network fees unless the Event Page states otherwise.

4Changes, postponement and cancellation
4.1The Organizer may change the date, time, venue, format, programme, tracks, speakers or any other aspect of an Event at any time. Speakers and programme items are indicative until the Event takes place.
4.2The Organizer may postpone or cancel an Event, in whole or in part, for any reason, including reasons outside its control such as government orders, public health measures, venue failure, severe weather, strikes, utility or network failure, or security concerns.
4.3If the Organizer cancels a paid Event and does not reschedule it, the Organizer will refund the fee paid. The refund is the Organizer’s only liability to you for the cancellation.
4.4The Organizer is not liable for any other loss or cost you incur because of a change, postponement or cancellation, including travel and accommodation costs.
4.5The Organizer will notify registered Attendees of material changes using the contact details provided at registration.

5.3Attendees must not carry out any unsolicited promotion, sales, distribution of materials, recruitment or fundraising at an Event unless the Organizer has agreed to it in writing.
5.4Attendees must not record, stream or broadcast any session in full without the Organizer’s written consent. Short clips and photographs for personal social media use are permitted unless a session is marked as off the record.
5.5Attendees are responsible for their own belongings. The Organizer and the venue are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged property.
5.6Attendees must comply with all applicable laws, including sanctions and anti-bribery laws, while attending an Event.

6.2Ethene Labs relies on its legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR and under the PDPA, it relies on deemed notification by consent (or any other applicable exception), including the publicly available data exception for images reasonably captured at Events open to the public, where applicable. Ethene Labs processes general, non-focused event media pursuant to the following legitimate interests:

6.3If you do not want to be photographed or filmed, tell the registration desk on arrival. The Organizer will make reasonable efforts to honour the request, for example by providing a marker for your badge. Ethene Labs cannot guarantee that you will not appear in wide shots or crowd footage.
6.4Where Ethene Labs seeks to feature you as the primary, identifiable subject of a promotional image, close-up photograph, recorded video interview, or marketing release (including through the publication of your name, job title and other personal details), Ethene Labs will obtain your prior opt-in consent (e.g., via a separate registration check-box or digital release form).
6.5Ethene Labs may allow co-hosts, partners and sponsors of the Event (Event Partners) you attend to use this content for reporting on and marketing the Event.
6.6No fee or credit is payable for these uses. Ethene Labs is not obliged to use any content.
6.7You have the right to object at any time under Article 21 of the GDPR to the processing of your personal data (image/clip) based on legitimate interests, and you may ask Ethene Labs to remove a specific image or clip in which you are identifiable by emailing operations@ethenelabs.xyz. Ethene Labs will act on reasonable requests for content it controls and will take reasonable steps to inform any Event Partners or other recipient to which the content was disclosed, of your request. You acknowledge that Ethene Labs cannot compel the removal of content already published by third parties, or in print.

The lists may be shared across the event brands that Ethene Labs owns and operates, where you have consented to receive marketing communications (or where a lawful exception applies).
7.5Every marketing email contains an unsubscribe link. You may also unsubscribe at any time by emailing operations@ethenelabs.xyz. Ethene Labs will action unsubscribe requests within 10 business days. Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop service messages for an Event you have registered for.
