Terms of Use for Conference Website Visitors
The conditions that govern your access to and use of the DMCIT conference website, written in plain language so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.
Last updated: 12 February 2025
These terms apply to everyone who visits this site, whether you are browsing the call for papers, checking a venue, or submitting a manuscript. Read them before you go further. Continued use signals that you accept what follows.
Acceptance of Terms
Opening this website and using any part of it means you agree to these terms. There is no separate form to sign. The act of browsing is the agreement.
This covers all visitors without exception — casual readers, prospective authors, program committee members, and anyone arriving from a search result or a shared link. If something here does not sit right with you, the remedy is simple: do not use the site. We would rather you decline than proceed under an assumption you disagree with.
Acceptable Use
Most of what we ask is common sense for an academic platform. Submit accurate information. When you register for an edition or upload a paper, the details you provide should be truthful and your own. Fabricated affiliations, ghost submissions, and fraudulent registration data are all out of bounds.
The technical side matters just as much. Do not probe, scan, or stress the site's security. Do not attempt to disrupt its availability for other users through automated floods of requests or any similar interference. Scraping at a scale that degrades performance for legitimate visitors falls under the same prohibition.
Anything unlawful in the operating jurisdiction is prohibited here too, along with harassment, impersonation, and abusive conduct directed at staff or fellow users. We do not maintain an exhaustive list because bad actors are inventive — the principle is what counts.
Use License
You may view and use the content on this site for personal, non-commercial purposes. Read an abstract, save a PDF of a call for papers for your own reference, share a link with a colleague — all fine.
What you may not do is redistribute or republish the material as if it were yours, or repackage it for commercial gain, without written permission. The text, logos, layout, and curated listings remain the intellectual property of the conference or its licensors. Author-submitted works carry their own rights, held by the authors and any indexing partners under the relevant proceedings agreements.
If you want to reuse something beyond personal reading, ask first. Permission is often granted for academic and educational purposes, but it has to be requested rather than assumed.
No Warranties
The site and everything on it are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We work to keep dates, deadlines, venue details, and indexing information correct, but we do not guarantee that every entry is accurate, complete, or current at the moment you read it.
Worth noting: conference schedules and submission windows can change at short notice. Where a decision depends on a deadline or a fee, confirm it through the relevant edition page or by contacting us directly rather than relying solely on a cached or shared version.
For matters with real consequences — travel commitments, funding applications, legal or financial choices tied to your participation, seek independent professional guidance. This website is an information resource, not a substitute for advice tailored to your situation.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that arise from your use of, or inability to use, this site. That includes indirect, incidental, and consequential losses: a missed deadline you read incorrectly, a trip booked against a date that later moved, data lost during a service interruption.
This limitation is not an attempt to dodge genuine responsibility. It reflects the reality that we cannot foresee how every visitor will rely on the information here, and we publish a great deal of it across many editions. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions, in which case those particular limits apply only as far as local law permits.
Applicable Law
These terms are interpreted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the conference operates. Any dispute that cannot be resolved directly falls to the competent local courts of that jurisdiction.
If a court finds one clause unenforceable, that clause is set aside and the rest of these terms stay fully in force. The agreement is built to survive the loss of any single part.
Modifications
We revise these terms from time to time — when a process changes, when the law shifts, or when something here turns out to be unclear in practice. The current version is always the one on this page, and the revision date at the top tells you when it last changed.
Using the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. We do not send individual notices for routine changes, so it is worth checking the date if you are returning after a long gap.
