Inevitable Launch Events Terms and Conditions
Updated 12.14.2020
PHOTOGRAPHY WAIVER
By registering for and attending any virtual and physical events (“Event”) organized by Inevitable Launch and its affiliates (“Inevitable Launch,” “we,” “our”), you agree and acknowledge that we plan to take photographs and make audio and video recordings (collectively, “Recordings”) at the Event. Inevitable Launch may use these assets in marketing materials and for promotional purposes, as determined in our discretion. By participating in the Event, you grant Inevitable Launch the right to use and license use of your image, likeness, and voice in Recordings and all media, now or hereafter known, by whatever means exhibited, advertised, or otherwise exploited. You hereby agree to:
(1) release and hold Inevitable Launch harmless from any and all liability arising out of the use of the Recordings in any manner or media whatsoever;
(2) waive any right to inspect or approve the use of the Recordings; and
(3) waive any and all actions, suits, or claims relating to use of the Recordings, including claims for invasion of privacy rights or publicity.
All assets and published materials are property of Inevitable Launch. Furthermore, Inevitable Launch physical events are held in public spaces and virtual events are held on digital platforms; therefore, we do not prohibit (and cannot reasonably prevent) other registrants, exhibitors, sponsors, media organizations, or other companies from photographing, or making audio or video recordings of Event activities.
2020-21 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Terms of Service
These terms and conditions for registration and attendance at the Event organized by Inevitable Launch (“Event Terms”) are binding without qualification or exception, on all persons registered to attend or actually in attendance at our Events (“Registrant,” “you”). By registering for or attending the Event, each Registrant hereby agrees: (1) to be bound by and shall be deemed to have accepted these Event Terms, which the Registrant acknowledges to have read and understood; and (2) they have obtained the consent of their employer, to the extent their employer may so require, prior to registering for the Event and becoming bound by these Event Terms. If the Registrant is not authorized or does not agree to any of these Event Terms, the Registrant may not enter, view or make use of this website for the Event (“Website”) and may not register for or otherwise attend the Event.
Payment Information & Terms
Full payment of the Event registration fee must be provided upon submission of the registration form. Payment in U.S. funds can be made by PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. Full payment must be received at time of purchase. Any Registrants who have not submitted full payment prior to the Event will be charged the day-of rate and required to submit full payment prior to gaining access or entry to the Event.
Orders placed on behalf of multiple attendees for group registrations must be current on all group registration fees in order for any member of the group to gain access or entry to the Event.
Please read and understand our transfer and cancellation policies for all registration types.
Registration Rates and Discount
It is your responsibility to confirm the price displayed at checkout is the price you expect and agree to pay prior to completing the purchase. Upon submission of a complete registration form, the purchase and rate paid are final. We are unable to adjust, return, or refund previously purchased tickets, except as provided in our 24-Hour Worry Free Guarantee below.
Inevitable Launch may offer a discount code as part of a limited time sale. That code may only be applied towards the designated type of individual or group registration, and the value will not transfer to another type of individual or group registration if you upgrade later. Inevitable Launch honors only one discount code per ticket per Event. Discount codes cannot be applied retroactively.
Registration Confirmation and Scope of Terms
Upon submission of registration, the Registrant will receive a confirmation of the registration. Additional rules may apply from the physical Event venue(s) and/or digital platform used for the virtual Event venue(s). Nothing in these Event Terms is designed to censor anyone’s speech or conduct on public property.
Cancellations/Refund Policy: 24-Hour Worry-Free Guarantee
We understand that life happens, so for purchases made more than 30 days prior to the Event, you may cancel your purchase for a full refund within 24 hours of purchase. Purchases made within 30 days of the Event are nonrefundable. We will not provide refunds under any other circumstances, including if you need to cancel due to illness or for any other reasons outside your control.
To cancel your registration and receive your refund, if eligible, please notify us in writing. If you qualify for a refund, the amount refunded will be based on the actual fees paid for the registration(s) canceled and will be returned to your original payment method within ninety (90) days.
Ticket Transfers
If your plans change, you may transfer your ticket, as long as you:

Agenda Changes; Postponement or Cancellation of Event
From time to time, we may make updates to the Event agenda, which may include cancellation of or changes to certain Event activities. While the Event speakers and agenda are confirmed at the time of publishing, there may be substitutions, alterations, or cancellations of the speakers or agenda due to circumstances beyond the control of Inevitable Launch. Accordingly, we cannot and do not guarantee any specific speaker, performing artist, entertainment, or other component of the Event agenda. We reserve the right to alter or modify the advertised speakers or agenda, and we will not refund registration fees, provide alternative compensation, or otherwise be liable to you based on these changes. Inevitable Launch will take reasonable efforts to update our Website with any substitutions or alterations as soon as reasonably possible.
Inevitable Launch is not responsible for any damage or loss as a result of alteration, substitution, delay, postponement, rescheduling, or cancellation of an Event. Inevitable Launch will not be considered in breach of these Event Terms or otherwise liable to you, except as specifically provided in this provision, if an Event is delayed, canceled, rescheduled, or postponed, in whole or in part, as a result of government-ordered closures of venues, services, and other spaces, government-issued shelter-in-place and quarantine orders, government and agency restrictions and recommendations place on individuals and groups of individuals, any law or action taken by a government or public authority, health and travel restrictions, floods, fires, wars, epidemics and pandemics (including without limitation COVID-19 coronavirus), illness, accidents, internet and third party application connectivity, interruption or failure of utility service, electronic or communications failure, war, explosion, fire, flood, drought, earthquake, or other natural disaster, terrorist attack, riots, civil war, loss of electricity, labor or trade dispute, strike, industrial action or lockout, nonperformance by service providers and subcontractors, delays by you, and other impediments to performance caused directly or indirectly by any event or circumstances outside Inevitable Launch’s reasonable control, that make Inevitable Launch’s performance illegal, impossible, inadvisable, or commercially impractical as determined in Inevitable Launch’s reasonable discretion. If an Event is delayed, canceled, rescheduled, or postponed for these or any other reasons, your sole remedy shall be that we will provide you with access to the rescheduled Event or a similar replacement Event at a later date to be determined by Inevitable Launch. If an Event is delayed, canceled, rescheduled or postponed, there will be no refunds provided. Inevitable Launch will take reasonable efforts to notify you of any interruptions to the Event as soon as reasonably possible.
Access to Event; Disclaimer
We cannot guarantee your admittance to any specific Event activity, as capacity and availability limits apply to both physical and virtual Events. For a virtual Event, we cannot guarantee the Event will be free from any kind of harmful interaction or interference, including but not limited to phishing, Zoom bombing, etc.
We may refuse Event participation to or remove Event access from anyone we determine, in our sole discretion and without liability or refund, (1) poses a health and safety risk to any person or entity at the Event; (2) has behaved or is behaving in a manner that may disrupt, hinder, or cause a nuisance to any person or entity at the Event; or (3) fails to, or threatens or is otherwise likely to fail to, comply with our Code of Conduct, our instructions not to record certain Event activities, these Event Terms, and all laws, regulations, and rules (including additional rules and terms of Event venues and platforms) applicable to your participation in or access to the Event.
Permitted Use
You are not permitted to use this Website, our mobile app, or any of our other websites or applications other than for the following, private, non-commercial purposes: (1) viewing the Website; (2) registering for a Inevitable Launch Event; (3) reviewing or changing your Event registration; (4) transferring to other websites through links provided on this Website; and (5) making use of other facilities that may be provided on this Website.
The use of automated systems or software to extract data from this Website, our mobile app, or any of our other websites or applications for commercial purposes (e.g., scraping) is prohibited.
In the event you violate the terms of this Permitted Use section, you agree to pay Inevitable Launch $1,000,000 within thirty (30) days after the violation. That amount is not a penalty but rather is the agreed-upon liquidated damages suffered as a result of your violation of this provision. You further agree this liquidated damages amount is a valid pre-estimate of damages Inevitable Launch will sustain which will not be capable of precise determination.
Code of Conduct
Inevitable Launch is dedicated to providing a harassment free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of our community or at our Events in any form. Sexual or discriminatory language and imagery is not appropriate for any venue, including personal space, presentations, workshops, parties, Twitter, Zoom, and other online media. Community participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from our Events or venues at the discretion of the staff and without a refund. Please bring any concerns to the immediate attention of our team.
Rogue Events and Inevitable Launch Nights
As a condition of your registration for and attendance at our Event, you represent, warrant, and covenant that you will not enter into any other agreement that conflicts with or would preclude you from complying fully with any of the provisions of these Event Terms and our policies, including our Code of Conduct and Inevitable Launch Nights Events Inclusion, Conduct + Content Policies. Producing or hosting other events or activities within 20 miles of a physical Event that solicit sponsorship and/or target or invite Inevitable Launch Event attendees, sponsors, or exhibitors without our express permission during Event activities shall be considered a conflicting obligation.
Inevitable Launch provides a very limited number of trusted partners an opportunity to host semi-official parties and meet-ups during the evening(s) of our physical Events. These are one of the top opportunities to informally meet with the top attendees of our Event. We also heavily promote them in our mobile app, at our Event, and otherwise. They are designed solely to enhance the attendee experience. If you are interested in hosting one of these Inevitable Launch Nights parties or meet-ups, please let us know.
Limitations on Your Recordings
Inevitable Launch reserves the right to (1) limit, restrict or prohibit audio or video recordings and/or transmissions of the Event or any portion thereof, or the taking of photographs during the Event, and (2) remove anyone conducting unauthorized recordings or photography. Any person who conducts unauthorized recordings or photography after being notified by Inevitable Launch that such recordings or photography are so limited, restricted or prohibited:
(a) transfers ownership of any and all unauthorized recordings of the Event (i.e., tape, CD, or such other medium) to Inevitable Launch or its assigns;
(b) agrees, upon request, to give possession of all copies of any such unauthorized recordings to Inevitable Launch before leaving the Event;
(c) authorizes use of any such unauthorized recordings of the Event by Inevitable Launch and/or its assigns for any purpose; and
(d) represents and warrants that any attendees and other individuals that appear in such photos and videos have also consented to such use.
For a virtual Event, you may take screenshots of Event activities for your personal use, but those screenshots may include content or material that is protected by copyrights, trademarks, or other rights which we own or have licenses to use. So you may not copy, reproduce, publish, or distribute the screenshots or take any audio or video recordings of Event activities without our prior written permission.
For a physical Event, we will post a sign at the entry, make an announcement at the beginning of the Event activity, and/or notify you through our Event platform, on the registration form for that Event activity, through online community, or otherwise if that Event activity may not be recorded or photographed.
We encourage you to share screenshots and “snippet” recordings on your social media channels, as long as the clips use our official event hashtag, tag Inevitable Launch and any sponsors (as appropriate), and are less than one minute in length. Live streaming and posting any images or recordings of Event activities when we have announced recording of that Event activity is not permitted. You agree not to use any permitted recordings for commercial purposes, to mislead or disparage, to imply you own the recording content, to suggest that we endorse your business, or in violation of applicable laws or our Code of Conduct. You further agree to comply with any requests we make not to record specific Event activities and for you to discontinue use of recordings, including removal of previous social media posts that include those recordings.
Authorization for Recordings by Inevitable Launch and Event Sponsors
Inevitable Launch, Event sponsors, and other authorized third parties may from time to time take photos and videos at the Event, which Inevitable Launch and those third parties may later use in any format or medium for promotional purposes, or which may otherwise be used, published or posted by a third party, including without limitation, via online posting on a third party or Inevitable Launch website. By participating or attending the Event, each Registrant agrees that he or she may appear in these photos and videos, and authorizes, and agrees to hold Inevitable Launch harmless from, their use in this fashion. The views expressed by any Event attendee, speaker, exhibitor or sponsor are not necessarily those of Inevitable Launch or its affiliates. All Event attendees, speakers, exhibitors and sponsors are solely responsible for the content of any and all individual or corporate presentations, marketing collateral, advertising, and online web content.
Privacy and Data Sharing
Inevitable Launch cares about the privacy of its Registrants. As further set forth in our Privacy Policy, Inevitable Launch abides by the applicable laws associated with sharing of personal data. Inevitable Launch will collect, use, and share data that the Registrant submits to or through registration for the Event with the Inevitable Launch team, Event platform and registration service providers, Event venues, and other Event vendors to facilitate your attendance at the Event, improve your experience at the Event, and as otherwise indicated on the registration form for the Event or specific Event activities. By using the Website, submitting the registration form for the Event or specific Event activities, or otherwise attending the Event, the Registrant consents to having his/her personal data collected, used, transferred to and processed in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Policy and these Event Terms. Without limiting any of the terms of the Privacy Policy, Inevitable Launch does not sell or rent Registrants’ personal registration data to any third parties. However, you will have the option of sharing your information with other attendees and sponsors through our Event platform and other online communities and by registering for specific Event activities (including sponsored activities), and, to the extent authorized by you, Inevitable Launch may use or share, but will not sell, your personal registration data with affiliates and/or trusted business partners, including without limitation, sponsors, exhibitors, service providers, and other agents and representatives with whom Inevitable Launch has engaged with respect to the Event platform, online communities, and specific Event activities, including for their marketing and promotional purposes. If you do choose to register for specific Event activities or use our Event platform and other online communities, you acknowledge that we do not control how other attendees or sponsors of those specific Event activities use your information. If you believe a sponsor or other attendee has used your information without your consent, please inform us immediately.
Third Party Links and Content
Our Website, mobile app, or any of our other websites or applications may contain links to other websites that are owned and operated by third parties and to content provided by third party service providers, Event sponsors, and other Event registrants, including videos, images, descriptions, links and other content. We have no control over third party websites or content, and we are not responsible for the availability of or materials provided on or through those third party websites or content. We do not make any representations regarding the accuracy of any third party websites or content. We are not responsible or liable for damages or losses arising from third party sites or content, and we recommend you review their applicable terms and conditions, as well as their privacy policies, if you choose to engage with those sites or content. You agree to assume all responsibility for your decision to enter into any transaction or other relationship with those third parties.
Personal Access by Registrant of Record Only
Access to our Event is for personal and non-commercial use only by the registrant of record and may not be shared or resold under any circumstances. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access the Event and view the Event activities for the duration of the Event, subject to the limitations in this provision. Access may not be transferred except as provided in these Event Terms and authorized by Inevitable Launch. Where there has been any sharing, resale, attempted sharing or resale, unauthorized transfer, or other breach of these Event Terms, we reserve the right to revoke your Event access immediately and without a refund or any further further liability to you.

Tell Us How We’re Doing
Please send any questions or feedback regarding our Events, Website, applications, or these Event Terms to us.
HeySummit is not responsible for any part of the above Additional Terms and is only responsible for the Core Terms of Service stated hereunder:
HeySummit's Core Terms of Service
These Core Terms of Service (the “User Terms”) govern Your access to or use of the online and hybrid events platform and services generally described at www.heysummit.com and its associated services (online and offline), products, software, mobile applications, information, networks, distribution channels, components, APIs, and documentation (”Services”) offered or made available by Hey Summit Ltd. or its parents, subsidiaries, and corporate affiliates (“HeySummit” "we" "us" or “Our").
These User Terms and the Community Guidelines incorporated herein by reference, form a legally binding contract between You and us.
Review the Privacy Statement for more information on how we collect and use data relating to the use of Our services and products. The Privacy Statement is a changing policy that is also a part of these User Terms.
1. Who these terms apply to - read carefully!
You are subject to these User Terms (a “User”) if:
- You are a “Participant” which is defined as any individual or entity that signs up for, or accesses a HeySummit account, or who attends, participates in, or interacts at, an Event. Examples include without limitation, individual Event attendees and speakers; or
- You are a “Team Member” which is defined as any individual or entity that is affiliated with the Host (see below) and that uses or accesses the Services in any way. Examples include without limitation, event managers, agencies, consultants, contractors, sponsors, and exhibitors.
The term “Host” refers to the company, entity, institution, organisation, or individual who is the public facing “brand” of the virtual or hybrid event (“Event”). A Host could be a company, or an individual.
If the Host enters into customer terms with HeySummit, such as the HeySummit’s Platform Terms or other HeySummit customer agreement (including agreements provided to the Host via a referral partner), it is a direct customer of HeySummit.
If the Host is not a direct customer of HeySummit, it typically means that the Host acquired the right to use the Services via a third party reseller or agency, in which case the Host’s use of the Services are governed by its agreement with that reseller or agency.
In each case above, the Host is subject to those separate customer and/or reseller or agency terms, and the Host’s Participants and Team Members are subject to these User Terms; provided however that if You are the individual who is both the Host and the named HeySummit account holder, these User Terms also apply to Your use of the account and Services in Your capacity as a Team Member.
1.1 HeySummit’s role
Events are organised and administered by the Host, not HeySummit. We are a third party providing the Services and its incorporated technology platforms (the “Platform”) to facilitate an Event taking place. For the purpose of this Agreement, the Services includes the Platform.
We are not responsible and cannot be held liable for any matters described in the Host Responsibility section (below).
1.2 Host’s responsibilities
The Host has full control over the running of any Event. This includes the invitee list, when Events are created and how they are configured, and what functionality and third-party integrations are available for use at each Event.
The Host is solely responsible:
- if an Event is cancelled;
- for how an Event is run;
- for ticket and merchandise sales and donation handling;
- for marketing activities related to the Event;
- for promotions, contests, and sweepstakes offered in connection with the Event;
- for informing Participants of any relevant policies and practices and securing agreements and consents with its Participants including but not being limited to additional privacy statements and additional terms of service;
- for any content produced or provided;
- Ensure that the adequate permission is sought by each and every Participant when creating an account on their behalf and that You act in compliance with GDPR when using the Platform;
- for any activities carried out during an Event; and
- for monitoring and managing the conduct of Users.
It is solely the Host’s responsibility to respond to and resolve any dispute between the Host and any Participant or Team Member. The Host may also block or revoke a User’s access to its Event at any time and in its sole discretion.
HeySummit’s customer success team and mechanisms may be used to support such resolutions but it will be up to the Host to ensure the relevant information is provided to HeySummit and to troubleshoot an adequate resolution for HeySummit to assist and is therefore still the sole responsibility of the Host.
The Host will remain responsible for any resolution and the support of HeySummit throughout the resolution processes.
2. Right to use HeySummit
2.1. License
Subject to these User Terms, We grant You a limited, non-sublicensable license to access and use HeySummit:
- where You are a Team Member, for the internal business purposes of the Host only, to create, organise and host Events on HeySummit; and
- where You are a Participant, to attend and participate in Events for Your personal, non-commercial purposes only, subject to any Additional Terms of Service imposed by the Host.
2.2 Restrictions
You agree that You will not (unless You have Our express prior permission):
- violate Our Community Guidelines
- reproduce, duplicate, copy or resell any part of the Services or related content;
- resell, rent, lease, sub-license, loan, provide, distribute, or otherwise make available, Your right to use or access HeySummit or any part of it, in any form, in whole or in part to any person without prior written consent from us or in respect to Event content except as permitted by the Host;
- disassemble, de-compile, reverse engineer or create derivative works based on the whole or any part of HeySummit or any content on it nor attempt to do any such things, except to the extent permitted by law;

- use HeySummit maliciously, for example, by hacking into or inserting malicious code, such as viruses, or harmful data, into HeySummit or any operating system;
- use HeySummit in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, impair or compromise Our systems or security or interfere with other Users, including by removing, circumventing, damaging or otherwise interfering with security-related features that prevent or restrict use or copying, pasting, printing, downloading or sharing of any content, or that enforce limitations on the use of the Services or related content;
- access, collect, harvest or modify any information, content or data related to the Services using any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means or any manual process for any purpose, or attempt to decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running HeySummit;
