Classy Virtual Events Terms and Conditions

Updated 04/09/20

These Classy Virtual Events Terms and Conditions (this “Agreement”) contain the terms and conditions that govern your registration for, attendance at, and participation in the event(s) for which you are registering to attend, and as part of such registration, this Agreement is referenced (the “Event”). This Agreement is an agreement between Classy, Inc. and/or the affiliated entity that is listed as part of your registration (“Classy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you or the entity you represent (“you”). By clicking “Submit” on the registration page or participating in the Event, you confirm that (1) you have read, understand and agree to this Agreement, and (2) you are at least 18 years of age, or if registering on behalf of a minor, you are authorized to agree to this Agreement on behalf of said minor. Unless otherwise permitted by Classy in writing, you must be 13 years of age or older to attend the Event.

  1. Registrations. By registering for a webinar, consent is given for application details to be provided to Zoom to set up the webinar. You can view Zoom policies on their website here.

  2. Networking. By taking part in any of the virtual networking opportunities through Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or e180, consent is given for application details to be provided to Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or e180 to set up the networking opportunities. You can view their policies on their websites here: Zoom, Slack, Microsoft, e180.

  3. Webinar Capacity. Our webinar platform has a finite capacity. We reserve the right to unenroll individuals from the event if we are over that capacity, but if you have paid for your registration, Classy will refund your registration fees.

  4. We Do Not Offer Refunds. Once paid, registration fees for the Event are non-refundable (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement).

  5. Registration Transfers. Registrations may not be sold, resold, bartered, auctioned, or transferred in any way, without our written consent. If a registrant can no longer attend the Event, he/she may contact us and request to transfer his/her registration to another person. Transfer requests can be submitted up until two (2) weeks before the relevant Event.

  6. Sanctions. You represent and warrant that you are not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties or owned or controlled by such a party, including by not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. Government (e.g., the US Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals list and Foreign Sanctions Evaders list and the US Department of Commerce’s Entity List), the European Union or its member states, or other applicable government authority.

  7. Session Access Only if Paid and On Class List. Event sessions may require a separate purchase from the Event conference pass (if such option is made available during your registration). In such case, session access is only granted if it has specifically been paid for as part of your registration. All session attendees are required to register for the specific session(s) that they are planning to attend. Only if an attendee is on the class list for a specific session, will he or she be granted access to that session. Registration to specific sessions is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Some sessions have class-size limitations and hence sell-out. The term “session” includes classes, tutorials and trainings

  8. Change and Cancellation of Sessions. There may be instances where sessions have to be cancelled, a different instructor has to be assigned to a specific session, or content has to be altered, by us or instructors to match audience level/needs. Any modification to sessions will not entitle the attendee to any compensation or reimbursement of any related or associated costs, fees, penalties or losses that he or she might have incurred or incur in the future. In the event of cancellation of a session, Event staff will endeavor to notify the registered attendees and if applicable, ask for a different session to be selected from our offering.

  9. Event Cancellations and Changes. Event dates and locations are subject to change. If we cancel or postpone the Event, we will use reasonable efforts to reschedule it within twelve (12) months from its original start date. Registration for a virtual event may be cancelled up to 48 hours prior to the event. If for any reason, the Event or a session is required to be cancelled by Classy, a notification email will be sent as soon as possible. Registration fees paid by registrants for a cancelled or postponed Event or sessions can be applied to the rescheduled conference on a dollar for dollar basis only. In the event that we are not able to reschedule the cancelled Event, registrants will be offered a refund. Our liability is limited to a refund of registration fees already paid in the event of a cancelled or rescheduled Event. Classy is not responsible for incurred expenses, including but not limited to wi-fi, technology, or any related or associated costs, fees, penalties, losses, or expenses registrants may incur or have incurred as a result of any Event cancellations or changes. Classy reserves the right to change any and all speakers or instructors without notice.

  10. Payment Information. Registration fees are subject to taxes, as applicable. Payments are processed in U.S. funds. If the price shown is denominated in a currency other than USD, it will be processed at the then-posted foreign currency exchange rate. We are not responsible for any discrepancies between bank exchange rates, bank card exchange rates, foreign bank transaction fees, internet posted exchange rates, etc.

  11. Code of Conduct. Classy is dedicated to providing a harassment-free Event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of Event participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate at any time. Admission to the Event may also be subject to additional terms and conditions of the platform used to hold the Event. All attendees must abide by those terms and conditions. Event participants (including speakers, sponsors, staff, or guests) violating these rules may be sanctioned and/or expelled from the Event without a refund at Classy’s discretion.

    Any form of written, social media, or verbal communication that can be offensive or harassing to any attendee, speaker or staff is not allowed at the Event. Please inform an Event staff member if you feel a violation has taken place and the Event leadership team will address the situation.

    Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation; stalking; following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Exhibitors in the Event, sponsor or vendor presentations, or similar activities are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, exhibitors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material.

    Without limiting the foregoing, you agree to (a) behave in such a way as to create a safe, supportive learning environment while at the Event and any related events, (b) not engage in disruptive speech or behavior or otherwise interfere with the Event or other individuals’ participation in the Event, (c) comply with all applicable laws, and (d) not engage in any form of harassing, offensive, discriminatory or threatening speech or behavior, including relating to race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or disability.

    If a participant engages in harassing behavior or otherwise breaches the obligations above or if we reasonably believe that you will do so, the Event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the Event with no refund. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please notify the Event staff. Whilst you may, of course, post your complaint to social media we would prefer you to give Classy a chance to resolve this issue on a personal level first. Addressing sensitive issues like these in this way is generally faster and is also ultimately more effective.

  12. Recording and Video of You. The platform used to hold the Event includes features that may record your participation, including audio and any documents and other materials exchanged or viewed during the Event. By attending the Event, you consent to such recordings (as further described in the next paragraph). If you do not consent to the recording, do not attend or participate in the Event. Event participation may require you to configure your software settings on your web-device upon first use or require you to download software.
