You may not, and you must not, attend or participate in any Event unless you have accepted the Terms.
In connection with each Event you must comply with the Crossbeam Event Code of Conduct, as updated by Crossbeam from time to time, currently located here (the “Event Code of Conduct”).
Without limiting any other remedy under the Terms or applicable law, if you fail to comply with these Terms or any other Terms between you and Crossbeam or any Crossbeam affiliate, Crossbeam 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. Please report any non-compliance with these Terms in accordance with the Event Code of Conduct.
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 shipping 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.

Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any payment transaction.

Any refunds for Crossbeam’s cancellation of an Event will be subject to Crossbeam’s applicable refund policies. Payments made for one Event may not be applied toward the purchase of any other Event, product or services. While it is Crossbeam’s practice to confirm Event-related payment transactions by e-mail, the receipt of an e-mail confirmation does not constitute acceptance of an order or confirmation of an offer to sell a product or service.

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 of 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.

You must 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.
