Terms and Conditions
With a binding booking for a We Dreamin’ Oklahoma event, I accept the Terms and Conditions of North Texas Association of Technology Professionals, an IRS 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and Prospera Events (the “Producers”).
(1) Booking, Payment & Default of Payment
The contract/booking between Producers and the customer (sponsor, partner or delegate) begins with the confirmation of booking by Producers. The booking should contain: company name, the participating job title, function and contact details. The respective amount is due for payment once the customer receives the invoice. The customer is not permitted to participate in the event if full payment has not been received by Producers.
In default of payment, Producers reserve the right to prohibit the access to the event, cancel the contract and/or release the contracted elements and/or exhibit space to other customers. All registered participants of the customer will receive their personal conference pass (access to the event) at the conference check-in at the venue. Is a prerequisite for the preservation of the conference pass (access to the event), that the conference booking fee has been paid up to the start of the conference to the organizer account. In case of late booking/registration by the customer, an evidence of actual payment of the registration/booking fee or alternatively a credit card as a security deposit has to be presented at the conference check-in at the venue.
(2) Liability & Cancellation
a. Business Partner and Sponsor
The cancellation by the business partner or sponsor must be in written form. The business partner or sponsor shall have the right, to terminate the contract free of charge 5 days after the confirmation of the booking. The business partner (i.e. client) has the right to terminate the contract in written form no later than sixty (60) days before the event start date. In this case, the business partner (i.e. client) will be charged by Producers 50 percent of the contracted fee. Any cancelation from the business partner (i.e. client) after the above deadline of sixty (60) days, will be charged by Producers with 100 percent of the contracted fee. Should Producers cancel an event, the payments by the clients can be transferred to future events with a similar audience and topic within the next 12 months. If Producers can’t present an event within this 12 months period, the business partner (sponsor, partner) receives a credit note by Producers.
It may be necessary for reasons beyond the control of Producers to change the content or timing of the event or exchange individual speakers. Producers are not liable for damages due to technical malfunctions that may occur as a result of higher power fluctuations or power cuts. Producers bear no responsibility if it is necessary to exchange, cancel, modify or postpone a conference due to an unforeseen event. This includes: armed conflict, civil unrest, terrorist threats, natural disasters, political constraints, public health emergencies, pandemics, epidemics, significant influence on transport and so on.
b. Delegate
The cancellation by a delegate must be in writing. For cancellations / a cancellation up to 14 days charges 50% of the registration fee as a cancellation fee. After that date or a No-show will be charged with 100% of the registration fee. The assignment of a substitute in a similar position is possible in agreement / consultation with Producers.
(3) Privacy, Copyright & Transfer Ban
