[1] Attendee Requirements

1.1 Admittance. Your registration entitles you to admittance to the Event for which you have registered.

By attending the Event you acknowledge and agree to grant Region VI VPPPA Inc. the right at the Event to record, film, photograph, or capture your likeness in any media now available or 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.

By registering for a paid Region VI VPPPA Inc. Event Pass, you agree not to share, sell or trade your badge.

Events or falsified badges and/or sharing or swapping badges will be immediately ejected from the Event and banned from future Events. Region VI VPPPA Inc. considers such conduct theft of service, trespassing, and fraud and will report violators to law enforcement authorities.
