If you are a third-party completing the registration on behalf of another individual, you warrant that you have made the Attendee aware of this Agreement and that he or she has accepted these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with this Agreement, you should not attend the Event. We advise that you print or retain a digital copy of this Agreement for future reference.
This Agreement may be modified from time to time, so check back often. So that you are aware changes have been made, we will adjust the “Last Revised” date at the beginning of this document. Continued attendance at the Event by you will constitute your acceptance of any changes or revisions to this Agreement.
