This Agreement (“Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions that govern your attendance at and/or participation in any VAST Institute Seminar or Conference (“Event”).
By registering for the Event you are agreeing to these terms between VAST Institute, LLC ("VAST"), and the registered attendee and/or participant (“you”). If you are registering on behalf of another it is your responsibility to ensure that the person attending is aware of these terms and accepts them, and by completing the registration you are warranting that you have made the attendee aware of these terms and that they have accepted these terms.
Event Admission
Your registration entitles you to admittance to the Event. Any and all other costs associated with your attendance (including without limitation any travel and/or accommodation expenses) shall be borne solely by you and VAST shall have no liability for such costs. If you are unable to attend the Event, you may send a replacement attendee by advising VAST at vast.information@vastinstitute.com
or request a refund pursuant to the VAST Cancellation Policy.
Payment
The payment of the applicable fee(s) for the Event is due upon registration. If such payment is insufficient or declined for any reason VAST may refuse to admit you to the Event and shall have no liability in that regard.
Taxes
The fee(s) may be subject sales tax, value added tax, or any other taxes and duties which, if applicable, will be charged to you in addition to the fee(s).
Cancellation Policy
Although unlikely, your Event may be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. If Vast cancels the Event, the entire amount you have paid to Vast for the Event will be refunded to you within fourteen days after the Event cancellation date. Once this occurs, Vast and its representatives have no other obligations to you on cancelled trips including any additional costs or fees related to the issuance and/or cancellation of airline tickets or other travel reservations not made by Vast.
If you cancel 14 days before the Event, you will be eligible for a full refund. If you cancel after this 14 day window, you will not be eligible for a refund unless you qualify for a partial refund due to a qualifying medical or family emergency.
Disabilities
We strive to make all VAST Events accessible to individuals with disabilities. You will notify VAST upon registration if you or any registered attendee under your care has any pre-existing physical, dietary, mental, or emotional disabilities that may require special accommodations or potential treatment during the Event. You must submit these accommodation requests to VAST in writing to vast.information@vastinstitute.com upon registration but no later than 7 days prior to the beginning of the Event so that VAST can make the appropriate accommodations. We will make every reasonable effort to accommodate your request but neither VAST or the Event venue can assume any liability for Event accommodations provided.
Event Ejection
You acknowledge that VAST reserves the right to request your removal from the Event if VAST, in its sole discretion, considers your presence and/or behavior creates a disruption or to hinder the Event and/or the enjoyment of the Event by other attendees or speakers. You agree that in those circumstances Vast has the exclusive right and discretion, to expel that participant(s), including you, from the Event or Seminar at any time, without any claims or complaints by you against Vast.
Media
By attending the Event you acknowledge and agree to grant VAST the right at the Event to record, film, photograph or capture your likeness in any media now available and 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 VAST 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 and/or disseminate the media.

You acknowledge and agree that VAST, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to change any and all aspects of the Event, including but not limited to, the Event name, themes, content, program, speakers, performers, hosts, moderators, and time.
