Event Cancellation by WA-TTS

WA-TTS reserves the right to cancel an event due to low enrollment or other circumstances which would make the event non-viable.  Cancellation of an event will be at the sole discretion of WA-TTS. If WA-TTS cancels an event for company reasons, registrants will be offered a full refund except for a service charge of $200. Should circumstances arise that result in the postponement of an event, WA-TTS has the right to either issue a full refund or transfer registration to the same event at the new, future date. 

Registration Cancellations 

The deadline to request a refund for your registration is the “Refund Deadline” listed in the Important Dates section.  Registration cancellations received before the Refund Deadline may be eligible to receive a refund less a $200 service fee. Cancellations will be accepted by email only and must be received by the stated cancellation deadline. Send cancellation email to info@watts.com

Cancellation requests received after the stated deadline will not be eligible for a refund. No shows for an event will not receive a refund or credit towards future event(s). All refund requests must be made by the registered attendee or credit card holder and include the name of the attendee and/or transaction number. Refunds will be issued via the original payment method used or by check, no later than (30) days after cancellation has been approved. Cancellation requests will only be accepted via email to info@watts.com 

Behavior

WA-TTS provides a professional environment for discussing relevant issues to our industry.  We appreciate differences of opinions and realize that these diverse viewpoints make us stronger as an industry.  We believe that ideas can best be discussed in an open and respectful environment.

We strive to deliver an event that is welcoming to everyone; however, we cannot control the behavior of other guests (invited or uninvited) and attendees.  If other people become a disturbance, we will ask them to leave.  WA-TTS will not be responsible for the behavior of others, failing to ask people to leave, or failing to force people to leave.  Summit attendees assume the risk of being in a public building with other attendees and any repercussions thereof.  Attendees are responsible for their behavior and safety. 

All participants must behave professionally.  Unprofessional behavior, including disruptive, combative, or harassing behavior, will not be tolerated, and attendees and sponsors who engage in such behavior will be asked to behave professionally or leave the conference venue, at the sole discretion of the WA-TTS Staff.  Failure to follow the direction of the WA-TTS or venue staff may result in forceful removal from the conference venue without any refund.

Agenda

The event organizers reserve the right to change the program subject/agenda without notification

Changes to the site

WA-TTS reserves the right, in its discretion, to suspend, change, modify, add or remove portions of Wa-tts content available on the sites at any time and to restrict the use and accessibility of the Sites.

Force Majeure.

WA-TTS, its affiliates and its information providers will not be liable or deemed to be in default for any delay or failure in performance or interruption of the delivery of WA-TTS Content resulting directly or indirectly from any cause or circumstance beyond its or their reasonable control, including but not limited to failure of electronic or mechanical equipment or communication lines, telephone or other interconnect problems, computer viruses, unauthorized access, theft, operator errors, severe weather, earthquakes or natural disasters, strikes or other labour problems, wars, or governmental restrictions.

Changes to Terms & Conditions.

WA-TTS may, at its discretion, change these Terms (including those relating to your use of the Sites and/or the Content). When the terms are changed, WA-TTS will notify you by email or by publishing details of those changes by including them in these Terms. 

Facilities / Valuables

Internet connectivity may be available to you, but we cannot guarantee the security or availability of your connection.  Your use of the connection constitutes your assumption of all associated risks.

WA-TTS will make reasonable attempts to ensure a safe and secure venue for every event.  If a safety or security issue arises, attendees must alert any WA-TTS team member who will then notify the venue staff.  WA-TTS will not be responsible for injury or loss due to the negligence of the venue or their agent.

Attendees recognize that events are held in venues that are not quarantined from the general public, and as such, members of the public may be present.  WA-TTS is not responsible for the behavior or presence of members of the public.

All attendees should use good judgment in securing their belongings and should not leave valuables unattended.  WA-TTS is not responsible for lost or stolen items.  A courtesy luggage check, charging station, and hospitality areas are provided.  While WA-TTS attempts to keep these areas secure, WA-TTS is not responsible for lost, stolen, or misplaced items in these, or any other areas.

Solicitation

WA-TTS prohibits the solicitation of other attendees outside of specified locations and times for sponsors or vendors.  Conducting market surveys, market research, or other solicitation without prior written approval of WA-TTS is prohibited.

Anti-Trust

WA-TTS does not offer clients any type of legal advice, but we do want to draw your attention to common topics to avoid while here at a WA-TTS sponsored event.  It is your responsibility to avoid these topics, and any behavior which would violate any law or regulation.  Common topics to avoid include:

  • Rate, salary, or fee fixing of any type
  • Agreed upon limits on capacity or volume
  • Preferred or non-preferred customer determination or lists
  • Division of customers based on any attribute including location, freight type, or another status

We also want to suggest that the terms of any agreements discussed by event attendees be reviewed by the attendee’s legal counsel before becoming binding.  WA-TTS does not provide legal advice of any kind, and every attendee’s legal situation is different.

This list is in no way considered comprehensive or binding.  Rather, it is a reminder to everyone to play by the rules.

Accuracy of Information

WA-TTS makes all attempts to vet speakers and content before every event; however, we cannot completely control speakers or their provided content.  WA-TTS does not guarantee the accuracy of any information provided by a speaker in their remarks or written content.  If inaccurate information is found, a reasonable attempt will be made to correct the misinformation.

Intended Business Purpose

WA-TTS does not warrant that any provided information is intended for a particular business purpose.  All industry information should be used with professional judgment.  WA-TTS does not provide legal advice.  All legal and business decisions should be discussed with your legal counsel before execution.

Speaker/Panelist/Moderator/Sponsor Policies

Speakers, Panelists, Moderators, and Sponsors (“Content Providers”) are bound by a separate agreement for Content Providers and are required to agree they will do the following:

  • Comment on the industry, not on behalf of or against any particular business(es) and/or person(s).
  • Remain professional.  Do not intentionally provide inflammatory statements intended to incite a riot or disruption.
  • Do not claim to represent WA-TTS or the views of WA-TTS.
  • Do not claim WA-TTS endorses your views.
  • Be regarded as attendees for the event and abide by all attendee terms and conditions.
