VIRTUAL EVENTS TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION

VIRTUAL EVENTS TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION

These are the terms and conditions (the “Agreement”) governing your participation in any ALLIANCE owned and operated virtual event, meeting, show, seminar or conference (the “Virtual Event”). By registering for the Virtual Event, you agree to these terms, which form a binding legal contract between the Virtual Event owner and host, National Alliance to End Homelessness (“ALLIANCE” or “Owner and Organizer”) and the registered participant (“you” or “Participant”). If you are registering on behalf of another individual, it is your responsibility to ensure the person participating is aware of these terms and accepts them. By completing the registration on behalf of another individual you are warranting that you have made the Participant aware of these terms and that they have accepted these terms.

1 Participant Requirements

1.1 Access. Your registration entitles you access to the Virtual Event for which you have registered. Any, and all other costs associated with your attendance shall be borne solely by you, and Virtual Event shall have no liability for such costs.

1.2 Use of Likeness. By participating in the Virtual Event, you acknowledge and agree to grant Virtual Event host the right at the Virtual Event to record, film, live stream, photograph, or capture your likeness in any media now available or hereafter developed and to distribute, broadcast, use, or otherwise globally to disseminate, in perpetuity, such media without any further approval from you or any payment to you. This grant to Virtual Event includes, but is not limited to, the right to edit such media, the right to use the media alone or together with other information, and the right to allow others to use or disseminate the media.

1.3 Virtual Event Content. You acknowledge and agree that Virtual Event, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to change any, and all aspects of the Virtual Event, including but not limited to, the Virtual Event name, themes, content, program, speakers, performers, hosts, moderators, venue, and time. Virtual Event content shall be recorded by the ALLIANCE and will be accessible to paid Participants.

2 Prohibited Conduct

2.1 Limitations on Use. By registering for ALLIANCE Virtual Events, you agree not to sell, trade, transfer, or share your access link and/or code and email and password to access Virtual Event, unless such transfer is granted by the Organizer. By registering for a paid Virtual Event, you agree not to share, sell or trade your access. If ALLIANCE determines that you have violated this policy, ALLIANCE may cancel your access, retain any payments made by you, report you to law enforcement authorities, and ban you from future Virtual Events.

2.2 Disruptive Conduct. You acknowledge and agree that the Alliance reserves the right to refuse or approve admittance of any individual (or) remove you from the Virtual Event if ALLIANCE, in its sole discretion, determines that your participation or behavior create a disruption or hinder the Virtual Event or the enjoyment of the Virtual Event content by other attendees.

2.3 Recording, Live Streaming, and Videotaping. Participants may not record or broadcast audio or video of sessions at ALLIANCE Virtual Events.

2.4 Unethical/Non-Compliant Business Practices. ALLIANCE reserves the right to deny participation to anyone who engages in or is reputed to engage in unethical or non-compliant business practices.

2.5 In addition to the requirements and prohibitions set forth in this Section 2, ALLIANCE may also exclude any prospective participant from registering for or participating in any Virtual Event, at ALLIANCE’s sole discretion.

3 Fees and Registration

3.1 Payment. The payment of the applicable fee for the Virtual Event is due upon registration. If such payment is insufficient or declined for any reason ALLIANCE may refuse to allow you to access the Virtual Event and shall have no liability in that regard.

4 Cancellation and Quality Assurance

4.1 Cancellations are subject to the entire Virtual Event registration fee. All sales are final. No payments will be refunded or refundable. Please note that if you do not cancel and do not access the Virtual Event, you are still responsible for payment. In no event shall ALLIANCE be obligated to refund all or a portion of the registration fee.

4.2  If ALLIANCE is prevented from carrying out its obligations as it pertains to the Virtual Event you registered for as a result of any cause beyond its control, or such Virtual Event cannot be Virtually conducted because of a software or issue with the hosting platform or due to acts of God, strikes, labor disputes, government requisitions, restrictions or war or apparent act of war, terrorism, disaster, civil disorder, epidemic or pandemic, curtailment or restriction on transportation facilities, or any other comparable calamity, casualty or condition (collectively a “Force Majeure”) ALLIANCE shall have the right to immediately terminate the affected Virtual Event without liability and shall be relieved of its obligations to Registrant.  If the affected Virtual Event is terminated due to a Force Majeure occurrence before the first day of the Virtual Event, then ALLIANCE will reschedule the affected Virtual Event and your registration fee will be applied to the rescheduled Conference.
