3. Eligibility and Authority

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when registering, applying, purchasing, or participating.

If you participate on behalf of a company, organization, Sponsor, Exhibitor, or Partner, you represent that you have authority to act on behalf of that organization and to agree to terms applicable to its participation.

Where an Event, ticket, program, service, or professional activity has an age, geographic, accreditation, membership, professional, or other eligibility requirement, you are responsible for satisfying that requirement.

Eprenz may reject, suspend, restrict, or cancel participation where:

  • Eligibility requirements are not satisfied.
  • Information provided is materially inaccurate or misleading.
  • Required payment is not completed.
  • Participation presents a material security, legal, operational, or reputational risk.
  • These Event Terms or another applicable agreement are materially violated.

Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

4. Registration and Event Credentials

Registration information must be complete and accurate.

A registration, ticket, access link, invitation, login credential, promotional code, or other Event credential is intended for the person or organization to whom it was issued unless transfer is expressly permitted.

You are responsible for safeguarding Event credentials assigned to you.

You must promptly notify Eprenz if you believe a credential has been lost, compromised, transferred without authorization, or improperly used.

Eprenz may require reasonable verification to protect an Event, its Participants, or Event Services.

5. Event Information and Program Changes

Published agendas, session descriptions, speakers, moderators, tracks, schedules, sponsors, partners, platforms, networking features, and other Event elements represent plans at the time of publication.

They do not constitute a guarantee that a specific speaker, session, topic, Sponsor, Exhibitor, Partner, feature, or networking opportunity will remain available.

Eprenz may make reasonable changes to:

  • Speakers or moderators.
  • Session titles or descriptions.
  • Tracks.
  • Session duration or timing.
  • Program structure.
  • Event platforms.
  • Networking formats.
  • Event features.
  • Event schedules.
  • Other operational elements.

Where a material change affects a paid registration or commercial agreement, available remedies are governed by the applicable purchase terms, Event-specific terms, written agreement, and applicable law.

6. Tickets, Passes, Fees, and Taxes

Prices, inclusions, access periods, ticket levels, sponsorship packages, exhibitor packages, and other commercial terms are those presented at the time of purchase or stated in an applicable written agreement.

Unless otherwise stated, fees are payable in the currency shown at checkout, on an invoice, or in an order form.

You are responsible for applicable taxes, duties, bank charges, foreign exchange charges, or similar amounts associated with a purchase, except where applicable law requires Eprenz to collect or bear them.

A paid registration or commercial benefit is not confirmed until required payment or other agreed consideration has been received unless Eprenz confirms otherwise in writing.

Eprenz may correct genuine pricing, listing, or technical errors. Where an error materially affects an accepted paid order, Eprenz will provide any remedy required under applicable law or the applicable written agreement.

7. Refunds, Cancellations, and Transfers

Unless otherwise stated at checkout, in Event-specific ticket terms, or in an applicable written agreement, Event registrations and paid passes are non-refundable.

Failure to attend, scheduling conflicts, failure to use Event access, failure to attend a session, or failure to use recordings, resources, networking opportunities, or other included benefits does not create a right to a refund.

Technical problems involving a Participant's own equipment, connection, browser, network, firewall, software, or other systems outside Eprenz's reasonable control do not create a refund right.

Eprenz may, in its discretion, permit a ticket transfer, substitution, credit, or other accommodation.

If Eprenz cancels an Event without providing a rescheduled Event, replacement Event, credit, or substantially equivalent benefit, Eprenz will communicate any applicable remedy to affected purchasers.

Sponsor, Exhibitor, advertising, and partnership cancellations are governed by the applicable commercial agreement, order form, or written confirmation.

Nothing in these Event Terms limits refund or cancellation rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

8. Event Postponement, Rescheduling, and Cancellation

Eprenz may postpone, reschedule, modify, or cancel an Event where reasonably necessary.

Where an Event is postponed or rescheduled, Eprenz will use reasonable efforts to communicate material changes using the contact information associated with the registration or commercial relationship.

If an Event is cancelled, any refund, credit, transfer, replacement benefit, rescheduled access, or other remedy is governed by the applicable purchase terms, written agreement, and applicable law.

A change to a program, schedule, speaker lineup, session structure, or Event platform does not by itself create a refund right unless applicable Event-specific terms or law provide otherwise.

9. Virtual and Digital Event Access

Many Eprenz Events, including the Global Founders & Innovators Summit, are delivered virtually.

Virtual Event participation requires compatible hardware, software, internet access, and other technical capabilities.

You are responsible for your:

  • Internet connection.
  • Device configuration.
  • Browser compatibility.
  • Audio and video equipment.
  • Firewall settings.
  • Local network.
  • Other systems outside Eprenz's control.

Eprenz does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of third-party platforms, telecommunications networks, internet providers, video conferencing systems, or other external services.

Eprenz may change an Event platform or access method where reasonably necessary for operational, technical, security, or legal reasons.

10. Conduct and Community Standards

Participants must behave professionally and respectfully.

Participants must not:

  • Harass, threaten, intimidate, stalk, abuse, or unlawfully discriminate against another person.
  • Publish or transmit unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, deceptive, obscene, or infringing material.
  • Disrupt sessions, meetings, chats, communities, or technical systems.
  • Impersonate another person or materially misrepresent an affiliation.
  • Attempt unauthorized access to Event Services, accounts, networks, data, or systems.

  • Violate intellectual property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights.
  • Use Event Services for unlawful purposes.
  • Use Event contact information for unrelated or unlawful commercial solicitation.

Eprenz may moderate Event Services and remove content or restrict participation where reasonably necessary to protect Participants, comply with applicable law, enforce these Event Terms, or preserve Event integrity.

11. Removal or Suspension

Eprenz may deny entry, remove a Participant, suspend Event access, restrict specific features, or terminate participation where Eprenz reasonably determines that a Participant:

  • Materially violated these Event Terms.
  • Disrupted the Event.
  • Created a security or legal risk.
  • Infringed another person's rights.
  • Engaged in unlawful conduct.
  • Failed to pay amounts due.
  • Materially violated an applicable Event agreement.

Except where required by applicable law or agreed in writing, removal for a material breach does not create a right to a refund, credit, replacement benefit, or compensation.

Rights and obligations that by their nature should survive termination remain effective after participation ends.

12. Attendee Access and Benefits

Attendees receive only the access and benefits included in their applicable ticket, pass, invitation, or registration level.

Attendees must not share restricted:

  • Recordings.
  • Access credentials.
  • Slides or resources.
  • Participant directories.
  • Private community content.
  • Paid content.
  • Other restricted Event Materials.

Participation does not create a professional adviser relationship between an Attendee and Eprenz, a Speaker, Sponsor, Exhibitor, Partner, mentor, facilitator, or another Participant unless separately agreed in writing.

13. Networking and Participant Interactions

Events provide opportunities for Participants to communicate, network, schedule meetings, exchange information, join communities, and form business relationships.

  • Participant.
  • Company.
  • Credential.

  • Service.
  • Investment opportunity.
  • Business offer.
  • Representation.

You are responsible for exercising appropriate judgment and due diligence before entering into a transaction, meeting, partnership, investment, purchase, employment relationship, advisory relationship, or other arrangement with another Participant.

Eprenz is not a party to independent relationships or transactions formed between Participants unless Eprenz expressly enters into the applicable agreement.

You are responsible for information you voluntarily disclose to another Participant.

14. Speaker Applications, Selection, and Participation

Submitting a Speaker application does not guarantee selection, approval, a speaking role, or participation in an Event.

Eprenz may:

  • Review Speaker applications.
  • Request additional information.
  • Request recordings or examples of prior speaking.
  • Conduct follow-up discussions or interviews.
  • Evaluate proposed topics and sessions.
  • Approve or decline a proposed Speaker or session.

Selection decisions may consider programming needs, audience relevance, presentation quality, experience, topic fit, availability, Event capacity, and other legitimate programming considerations.

A Speaker role becomes confirmed only when Eprenz communicates approval or otherwise confirms participation.

A confirmed Speaker must provide accurate professional and session information and promptly notify Eprenz of material changes.

A Speaker must make reasonable efforts to:

  • Attend the confirmed session.
  • Connect on time.
  • Complete requested onboarding or production steps.
  • Participate in technical checks where requested.
  • Notify Eprenz promptly if availability changes.

Eprenz retains editorial and programming control over the Event and may determine session placement, track, format, moderator, duration, timing, title, description, and related programming details.

Unless agreed otherwise in writing, no speaking fee, honorarium, travel reimbursement, expense reimbursement, or other compensation is owed.

A speaking role does not guarantee a specific audience size, number of views, leads, media coverage, business opportunity, or commercial result.

  • Industry.
  • Business stage.
  • Business interests.

The same responsibility applies where information is provided as part of an applicable sponsorship or partnership benefit.

Eprenz may suspend or terminate lead access where misuse is identified.

21. Partners and Co-Promotion

Use of terms such as partner, partnership, community partner, media partner, strategic partner, or ecosystem partner describes a collaborative business relationship.

Such terminology does not by itself create a legal partnership, joint venture, fiduciary relationship, franchise, employment relationship, or agency relationship.

Each Partner is responsible for its own:

25. Confidential Information

Participation in an Event does not create a general confidentiality obligation between Participants.

Do not disclose confidential, proprietary, privileged, trade secret, personal, or restricted information during a public or recorded session unless you are authorized to disclose it.

Private meetings, deal rooms, mentoring sessions, Sponsor meetings, networking meetings, or other restricted interactions are not automatically confidential unless:

  • The Participants enter into a confidentiality agreement.
  • The applicable Event feature expressly states otherwise.
  • Applicable law imposes confidentiality.

Eprenz is not responsible for another Participant's unauthorized use or disclosure of information that you voluntarily disclose.

26. Third-Party Content, Offers, and Services

Events may include content, links, products, services, resources, advertisements, demonstrations, offers, and opinions provided by Speakers, Sponsors, Exhibitors, Partners, Attendees, or other third parties.

  • Investment.
  • Acquisitions.
  • Business sales.
  • Partnerships.
  • Financial performance.
  • Business opportunities.
  • Other commercial matters.

Unless expressly stated in a separate regulated offering document issued by the responsible party, Event content does not constitute an offer, solicitation, recommendation, or endorsement by Eprenz to buy or sell securities or enter into an investment transaction.

Eprenz does not guarantee the accuracy of investment or financial claims made by independent Participants.

Participants are responsible for their own due diligence and compliance with applicable securities, financial promotion, investment, and other laws.

This informal resolution process is a condition precedent to litigation to the extent enforceable under applicable law.

38. Governing Law and Venue

Consistent with the general Eprenz Terms of Service, these Event Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, disputes arising out of or relating to these Event Terms or an Event are subject to the jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in Michigan.

Mandatory consumer protections or jurisdictional rights that cannot lawfully be waived remain unaffected.

39. Time Limit for Claims

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Event Terms or an Event must be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrues.

This limitation does not apply where applicable law prohibits shortening the applicable statutory limitation period.

40. Changes to These Event Terms

Eprenz may update these Event Terms to reflect changes in:

  • Event Services.
  • Business practices.
  • Technology.
  • Legal requirements.
  • Other relevant circumstances.

The Last Updated date identifies the current version.

Changes apply prospectively from their effective date unless otherwise stated.

Material changes will not retroactively reduce contractual rights already agreed for an existing paid registration or signed commercial relationship unless the applicable agreement or law permits the change.

Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent for a change, Eprenz will provide it as required.

41. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer rights or obligations under these Event Terms without Eprenz's written consent except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Eprenz may assign these Event Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, transfer of Event operations, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law.

42. Waiver

A failure or delay by Eprenz to enforce any provision of these Event Terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision later.

A waiver is effective only if made in writing by an authorized Eprenz representative.

43. Severability

If a provision of these Event Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law or severed where necessary.

The remaining provisions remain in effect.

44. No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except where these Event Terms expressly state otherwise, these Event Terms do not create enforceable rights for any person or entity that is not a party to the applicable Event relationship.

45. Entire Agreement

These Event Terms, together with documents incorporated by reference and applicable Event-specific terms or written agreements, constitute the agreement governing the relevant Event relationship.

They supersede prior oral or written statements concerning the same subject matter to the extent those statements conflict with the controlling documents identified in Section 36.
