NSMS reserves the right to render, in its sole and absolute discretion, all interpretations and decisions in connection with the Terms and Conditions and to establish further regulations binding upon the Attendee as may be deemed necessary to the general success and wellbeing of the Summit and/or any person(s) affiliated therewith. NSMS’s decisions and interpretations shall be final in all cases.

REFUND POLICY FOR SUMMIT REGISTRATIONS
Refunds for Summit registration may be requested in writing up to 30 business days before the start of the event, February 20, 2020. A registration may be transferred to another individual, provided that this individual is not already registered, the registration is for the same Summit, and the individual qualifies for the same type of registration being transferred. Send refund and registration transfer requests to summit2020@sharedusemobilitycenter.org

RULES, REGULATIONS, & ATTENDEE CONDUCT
Attendee agrees to abide by all fire, safety, and health regulations of the local, city, state, Summit hotels, and Summit centers where the Summit is held. Attendee must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local ordinances, as well as NSMS policies and procedures as set forth below. Participants who violate such rules and/or who behave in an unsafe or careless manner while attending the Summit may be asked to leave immediately and will be held responsible for their actions. The Attendee acknowledges that such violations may result in the Attendee being removed from the Summit and barred from returning without refund of the Attendee’s registration fee. The Attendee likewise acknowledges and agrees that all attendees of the Summit have the right to enjoy the Summit equally. Illegal or disruptive behavior that interferes with the conduct of reasonable business at the Summit, or any other attendee’s safety or comfort, including behavior that impedes or prevents accessibility services or requests, behavior that discriminates based on age, disability, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, political or institutional affiliation, or sexual orientation, and harassment of any kind, is strictly prohibited and may result in the Attendee being removed from the Summit and barred from returning without refund of the Attendee’s registration fee. Such violations may be reported to legal authorities. If you witness a crime or have an emergency that requires the police, please call 911.

INDEMNITY
To the extent permitted by law, the Attendee agrees to protect, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NSMS, CSI-DMC, the Summit hotel(s) and convention centers where the Summit is being held, and their respective employees, officers, directors, and agents against all claims, losses, or damages to persons or property, governmental charges or fines, and costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or connected to the actions or failure to act in accordance with the Terms and Conditions by the Attendee, its employees, officers, directors, or agents, except those claims arising out of the other party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
NSMS is committed to making all reasonable arrangements that will allow all attendees to participate in Summit events. All meeting rooms at the Summit are wheelchair accessible and have seats in the first row marked as reserved for individuals with accessibility needs. Attendees who require onsite assistance during the Summit should request it from personnel at NSMS’s registration desk at the Hyatt Regency McCormick.

LOST REGISTRATION BADGE
The Attendee’s registration badge must be worn at all times during the Summit. Access to the Summit facilities will not be granted to those without proper credentials. If an Attendee loses, misplaces, or forgets his or her registration, a replacement fee of $10.00 will be charged for the creation of a new one. Once the new registration is released to the Attendee, the lost registration will become invalid.

MODIFICATION OF THE SUMMIT PROGRAM
NSMS reserves the right to modify the program, which is published as an indication only.

REGISTRATION, HOTEL, & TRAVEL ACCOMMODATIONS

Registration includes admission to NSMS’s meetings, panels, and public receptions for the duration of the Summit period. Meals, lodging, and travel are not included. Hotel accommodations are subject to availability and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

SALVATORY CLAUSE
If there is a determination that any part of the Terms and Conditions is ineffective or impracticable, then the validity of the Terms and Conditions remaining is not impaired.

PHOTOGRAPHY & FILMING
Professional photographs, audio, and video will be captured during the Summit. Attendees hereby grant NSMS and its representatives permission to photograph and/or record them at the Summit, and distribute (both now and in the future) the Attendee’s image or voice in photographs, videotapes, electronic reproductions, and audiotapes of such events and activities.

FORCE MAJEURE
Attendance at the Summit is subject to acts of God, government authority, disaster, or other emergencies, any of which make it illegal or impossible for NSMS, the Summit hotel(s), or convention centers to provide the facilities and/or services for the Summit or make it illegal or impossible for the Attendee to utilize the hotels or convention centers for the Summit. A registration may be cancelled for any one or more of such reasons by written notice from NSMS to the Attendee without liability on the part of NSMS.

CANCELLATION
If the Summit cannot be held or is postponed due to events beyond the control of NSMS, NSMS shall not be liable to the Attendee for any damages, costs, or losses incurred, such as transportation costs, accommodation costs, or financial losses. Under such circumstances, an Attendee may choose to have their registration fee refunded in full.
