It will be interesting to see if the Mobile Congress had that kind of text, probably they had it, and doesn't matter.
As I know, in many countries, what you write in your "rules" can't contradict the country laws. Said in another way: laws invalidate clauses in contracts that are more restrictive in regards to protecting rights. I'm not sure either, but I can guess that this kind of laws of liability for cancelation of events, etc., are most probably uniform across the EU.

The US term is "Incidental and Consequential Damages". I don't
remember if the registration includes any language about "IETF not
responsible for...." or "attendee waives liability for...". It's
probably a good thing to add - after 35+ years of not needing it. And
doesn't apply to any of the attendees for Madrid until the IETF starts
accepting registration fees from them.
Later, Mike
