ISOLA STUDIO AND LAVA

The website may also present, promote or provide access to events, exhibitions, lectures, workshops, publications and other cultural activities organised under the name LAVA.

LAVA is [insert full legal status and entity name] and operates as a separate initiative from Isola Studio, although the two may share the same physical premises, team members, collaborators, infrastructure or communication channels.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

• architectural and professional services are provided by Isola Studio;
• cultural programming, exhibitions, lectures and related activities presented under the LAVA name are organised by LAVA;
• neither entity automatically assumes responsibility for the separate contractual, financial or operational obligations of the other.

The relevant organiser or contracting entity will be identified, where necessary, in the specific event announcement, registration form, invoice, ticket or related communication.

PURPOSE OF THE WEBSITE

The website is provided primarily for general information, communication and presentation purposes.

Nothing on the website constitutes:

• architectural, engineering, planning, legal, financial, technical or other professional advice;
• a binding offer to provide professional services;
• a contractual commitment regarding the scope, timing, cost or outcome of a project;
• a guarantee that a proposed, researched or presented project will be constructed, approved, funded or implemented;
• an official statement on behalf of a client, authority, institution, speaker, artist, exhibitor or other third party, unless expressly stated.

Any professional engagement with Isola Studio will be governed by a separate written proposal, appointment, agreement or contract.

RESEARCH, EDITORIAL AND ARCHIVAL CONTENT

he website may contain architectural research, historical material, interviews, essays, observations, maps, timelines, drawings, references, archival information, speculative work and material supplied by third parties.

Isola Studio and LAVA make reasonable efforts to present information carefully and responsibly. However, research and editorial material may be incomplete, provisional, interpretative, based on sources that cannot be independently verified or subject to further investigation.

Accordingly:

• no representation or warranty is made that all research findings, dates, descriptions, names, measurements, attributions, translations, references or conclusions are complete, current or entirely accurate;
• differences of interpretation may exist, particularly in relation to historical, architectural, cultural or archival material;
• material may be corrected, expanded, revised, reattributed or withdrawn when new information becomes available;
• users should independently verify information before relying on it for academic, professional, commercial, technical or legal purposes.

Isola Studio and LAVA reserve the right to amend website content and published research without prior notice. Where appropriate and reasonably practicable, substantial corrections may be identified or dated.

EVENTS, EXHIBITIONS AND LECTURES

Information concerning events, exhibitions, lectures, screenings, workshops, performances, installations, open studios and similar activities is provided in good faith based on the programme available at the time of publication.
Programme details may change.

Isola Studio, LAVA and the relevant organiser reserve the right to:

• change an event’s date, opening hours, duration, venue or format;
• change speakers, artists, contributors, moderators, works, exhibits or programme content;
• postpone, reschedule, interrupt or cancel an activity;
• move an event online or adopt a hybrid format;
• restrict capacity or modify admission procedures;
• refuse or limit entry for safety, security, operational or legal reasons;
• make other reasonable programme changes without prior notice.

Where reasonably possible, material changes will be communicated through the website, social media, email or the platform through which registration or ticketing was completed.

Visitors and participants are responsible for checking the most recent event information before travelling to the venue.

Tickets, Registrations and Reservations

Some LAVA or Isola Studio activities may require advance registration, reservation, invitation or the purchase of a ticket.

Any event-specific price, eligibility rule, capacity limit, admission condition, refund policy or cancellation arrangement displayed during registration or purchase forms part of these Terms.

A registration or order is not confirmed until the user receives written confirmation through the relevant registration or ticketing system.

Where an event is administered through a third-party platform, the platform’s own terms, privacy policy, payment conditions and refund rules may also apply.

Users must provide accurate and current information when registering. Registrations may not be transferred, resold or used commercially unless the organiser has expressly permitted this.

Event cancellation by the organiser

If a paid event is cancelled and no alternative date is offered, the ticket price will ordinarily be refunded using the original payment method, unless a different lawful arrangement was clearly disclosed at the time of purchase.

Reasonable booking, payment-provider or third-party platform fees may be non-refundable where this was clearly disclosed and is permitted by applicable law.

Event postponement or material change

Where an event is postponed or materially changed, the organiser will communicate the available options, which may include:

• retaining the ticket for the rescheduled event;
• transferring the booking to another activity; or
• requesting a refund within a specified reasonable period.

Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer rights available under Greek or European Union law.

Admission and Conduct

• is violent, threatening, discriminatory, abusive or disruptive;
• damages or threatens the venue, exhibits, equipment or the property of others;
• infringes the rights of speakers, artists, visitors, staff or collaborators;
• violates applicable law or published venue rules.

Photography, Filming and Recording at Events

Photography, filming or audio recording may take place during public events for documentation, archival, editorial and promotional purposes.

Professional or commercial photography and recording require prior written permission.

• legal or regulatory requirements;
• security or operational practices.
