However, please note that all registrations for an Event are space permitting, on a first-come first-served basis. If you register online, each Attendee will receive a user ID and password (“Registrant Profile”) to access such Attendee’s registration account (“Account”). Attendees agree not to allow any third party to use their Registrant Profile to access the Website and to safeguard the information that would allow another person or entity to access the Website by using their Registrant Profile. Attendees shall be responsible for their failure to safeguard such information and/or to allow any other individual or entity to access or use the Website by using their Registrant Profile. No Registrant Profile or Account, or any portion thereof, may be sold or otherwise transferred by an Attendee. Attendees shall notify Manager in writing immediately of any unauthorized use of their Registrant Profile, Account or otherwise of the Website. Registrants and Visitors agree that Manager shall not be liable for any loss that results from the unauthorized use of any Registrant Profile or Account, either with or without Manager’s knowledge. You will need to check-in with us before each Event in our Registration Area. We will print your badge on-site and provide you with a lanyard/clip and badge holder. We do recommend that you print and bring with you to the Event your EventBrite confirmation with QR Code for quick and expedited check-in.

2.7 Event Traffic. Waiting lines to register for an Event or otherwise to enter an Event may be quite long. You can facilitate your admittance to an Event by registering through the Website prior to the Event, though doing so does not ensure that you will be admitted to the Event quickly. We work hard to make admittance to each Event a smooth process for everyone, but as the number of Registrants customarily is large and only a certain number of people can be processed and/or admitted to an Event at one time, you may to have to wait a significant amount of time before being admitted to an Event.

19. GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION; LEGAL FEES; NO CLASS CLAIMS; EQUITABLE RELIEF.

19.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, and all Claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, shall likewise be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

19.2 Arbitration; Legal Fees; NO CLASS CLAIMS. Any dispute by you or any of your representatives (if applicable) arising out of or related to your use of the Website, your attendance at any Event, this Agreement, and/or any other understanding or arrangement between you and Manager or any of the other Manager Parties, including without limitation regarding any breach under this Agreement or any other such other understanding or arrangement, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by a private professional arbitrator and rules determined by the parties in writing, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted in the City of Fort Lauderdale, State of Florida, by an arbitrator with applicable industry expertise in the field of event management services, who shall be named in accordance with such rules. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on you and Manager, and shall be accompanied by a statement of the reasons upon which the award is based, and such statement as well as all information concerning such arbitration proceedings including without limitation all evidence and materials submitted by you and Manager and any decision rendered shall be deemed to be the confidential information of Manager and shall not be made public by you or any person acting on your behalf or for your interest (and any submission made to any court as part of such a proceeding shall be made under seal). If the party initiating such a proceeding does not prevail regarding a material part of its claim, then the initiating party shall pay the responding party’s (notwithstanding any counter-claim asserted by the responding party) costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may apply to any federal or state court sitting in Broward County and State of Florida for injunctive relief or enforcement of this arbitration provision, without breach of this arbitration provision, and you and Manager each submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose.

19.3 Equitable Relief. You agree that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate Manager’s damages from any breach of certain of the representations, warranties or covenants made, or obligations undertaken, by you in this Agreement. Accordingly, you agree that Manager shall have the right to obtain an immediate injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of any your obligations under this Agreement which Manager in its sole discretion believes will cause damage to any of the Manager Parties, without having to post a bond or other security, and to specific performance of any such provision of this Agreement. The remedies of Manager in connection with this Section 19.3 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedies to which Manager may be entitled under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity. If Manager prevails in any such proceeding, Manager shall have the right to recover from you the costs and expenses thereof, including without limitation for reasonable attorneys’ fees. For purpose of this Section 19.3, you agree to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction by and venue of any federal or state court sitting in Broward County and State of Florida for Manager’s pursuit of such relief, without breach of the above arbitration provision, and you and Manager submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose, and to receive service of process through certified mail or by other means sanctioned by law, and you expressly waive any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum.

20. TIMELY FILING OF CLAIMS; WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION. YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR ATTENDANCE AT ANY EVENT, OR OTHERWISE THIS AGREEMENT, MUST BE FILED BY YOU PURSUANT TO SECTION 19 ABOVE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR IS CLAIMED TO HAVE ARISEN. FURTHERMORE, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ARBITRATION OR ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEDURE. ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO (A) THIS AGREEMENT, (B) YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR YOUR ATTENDANCE AT ANY EVENT, AND/OR (C) YOUR USE OF ANY PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES OF OURS OR OF AN EXHIBITOR, MUST BE ASSERTED INDIVIDUALLY AND PURSUANT TO THE TIME LIMITATIONS RECITED ABOVE.

21. ASSIGNMENT. You shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement, without Manager’s prior written consent (to be provided or denied in our sole discretion). This Agreement may be automatically assigned by Manager, in our sole discretion, to a third party, and such an assignment shall inure to the benefit of such third party or otherwise to our successors, assigns and/or licensees. Without limitation of the foregoing, we may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including without limitation your PII, with any parent company, subsidiary, joint venture, or any company under our common control, as well as with a potential acquirer and/or any acquirer, including without limitation in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. In each such an event, the PII we have collected from you may be one of the assets so transferred.

22. VALIDITY; WAIVER. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any of the other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If, moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to a subsequent or similar breach or subsequent or similar breaches. If Manager does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in this Agreement (or which Manager has the benefit of exercising or enforcing under any applicable law), such non-exercise or non-enforcement shall not be taken to be a formal waiver of Manager’s rights or remedies, and all such rights or remedies shall still be available to Manager.

23. GENERAL. Section headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. This Agreement and any additional applicable agreement between you and us set forth the entire understanding and agreement between us with respect to the subject matter hereof. The provisions of this Agreement will survive termination or expiration to the extent necessary to carry out the intentions of you and us.
