1. Rules of Conduct; Remedial Actions

In connection with each Event you must comply with any event code of conduct provided or made available to you.

Without limiting any other remedy under the Event Terms or applicable law, if you fail to comply with these Event Terms or any other agreement between you and QC Ware, QC Ware may take any action it deems appropriate in response, including cancelling your Event registration without any refund or banning you from the applicable Event or any or all other Events.

Fees for registration to an Event are non-refundable, including upon your cancellation of registration.

QC Ware may permit you to transfer your registration of certain Events to another person within your organization at QC Ware’s discretion in accordance with QC Ware’s policy.

3. Payments

Event fees and other charges may apply to your attendance of or participation in any Event, or may otherwise be incurred by you in connection with an Event. If payment of any fees or charges is required, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your credit card number and its expiration date, your billing address and your contact information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD FOR WHICH YOU PROVIDE ANY CREDIT CARD INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH  A PAYMENT TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant to QC Ware the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating payment transactions. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any payment transaction. You will pay all fees and charges incurred by you or on your behalf in connection with an Event, at the prices in effect and disclosed to you when such fees or charges are incurred. In addition, you are responsible for any taxes applicable to your payment transactions.

‍

QC Ware reserves the right, including without prior notice, to cancel, terminate, or impose conditions on the honoring of any coupon, discount, or similar promotion. Any refunds for QC Ware’s cancellation of an Event will be subject to QC Ware’s applicable refund policies. Payments made for one Event may not be applied toward the purchase of any other Event, product, or services.

4. Badges

Badges may contain RFID or NFC tags or other technology that may be used to record your attendance and participation in the Event (including visiting booths and attending sessions). By allowing your badge to be scanned at an Event, or by scanning your badge at an Event, you hereby authorize the operator of the badge scanner or similar technology for virtual events to collect and process such information.

‍

You acknowledge that if you scan your badge or if your badge is scanned by or for any sponsor or other third party with a badge scanner or similar technology for virtual events (each, an “Event Sponsor”), then that Event Sponsor may have access to a third-party report that includes such attendance and participation information, and also certain of your registration information and that Event Sponsor will be the data controller (or similar role under applicable law) with respect to any of your personal data that it processes.

‍

QC Ware is not responsible for the privacy practices of any Event Sponsor or other third party. Please contact the Event Sponsor or third party to learn more about its practices with respect to any information that it collects or to exercise any data subject rights with respect to that Event Sponsor.

If you do not wish to permit the uses and disclosures of information described in this Section, do not scan your badge or allow any Event Sponsor or third party to scan your badge at any Event.

‍

For an in-person Event, an Event badge may be available for you to pick up at the designated check-in area of the Event venue during the scheduled Event dates. You may be required to show a government-issued picture identification to pick up your Event badge. You will not be admitted into the Event venue without an Event badge.
