These Terms and Conditions for conference attendees constitute the terms governing attendees’ (each, the “Attendee”) attendance at and/or participation in Moody Radio Christmas with Rebecca St. James on December 19, 2024 at First Baptist Ft. Lauderdale (the “Event”). By registering for or attending the Event, Attendee agrees to each of these Terms and Conditions for conference Attendees, which form a legally binding contract (the “Agreement”) between The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago (“MBI”) and the Attendee. If you register on behalf of another individual, it is your responsibility to ensure the individual attending is aware of these terms and conditions and accepts them. By completing the registration on behalf of another individual, you are warranting to MBI that you have made the attendee or participant aware of these terms and that they have accepted these terms and conditions.
1. Attendee Requirements and Responsibilities
1.1. Payment and Taxes. The payment of any applicable fees for the Event is due upon registration. If such payment is insufficient or declined for any reason MBI may refuse to admit you to the Event and shall have no liability for such refusal. The fees may be subject sales tax, value added tax, or other taxes and duties which, if applicable, will be charged to you in addition to the fees.
1.2. Admittance. To the extent the Event requires registration, Attendee’s Event registration entitles Attendee only to admittance to the Event. Any and all other costs associated with attendance (including, without limitation, travel and accommodation costs if applicable) shall be borne solely by Attendee, and MBI shall have no liability for such costs.
1.3. Limitations on Use. By registering for an Event offered in a virtual format, Attendee agrees not to sell, trade, transfer, or share Attendee’s access link and/or code. If MBI determines that Attendee has violated this policy, MBI may, in its sole discretion, cancel Attendee’s access, retain any payments made by Attendee, report Attendee to law enforcement authorities, and ban Attendee from future events.
1.4. Use of Likeness. By attending the Event, Attendee hereby consents and grants MBI and its officers, trustees, employees, agents, representatives, contractors, licensees, successors and assigns the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right, and the right to permit others, to: (a) photograph, video, film, digitally image, or record statements, or otherwise capture permanently in any form, format, medium, or media now known or later developed (including, but not limited to, radio broadcasting, television broadcasting, Internet, satellite, podcasting, video, streaming media, DVD, CD, MP3 or other digital and electronic formats) (the foregoing are collectively, the “medium or format”) Attendee’s, image, likeness, identity, voice, words, verbal expressions, or other depiction (collectively, the “Images”); and (b) use, publish, stream, broadcast, reproduce, license, distribute, sell, edit, crop, retouch, revise, modify, publicly perform and/or produce derivative works from all or any portions of the Images for any purpose, including, without limitation, educational, advertisement, promotional, fund-raising, print and web-based publications associated with the MBI, or other related uses, in any format or media now known or later developed. Attendee understands that the MBI may use such Images with or without associating names thereto and that all right, title and interest, including, without limitation all copyrights, in the Images will be owned exclusively by the MBI. Attendee further waives any right to inspect the final Images and any claim for compensation of any kind for the MBI’s use or publication of the Images.
1.5. Attendee Identification. To the extent MBI issues registration badges to participate in the Event, Attendee must wear a registration badge at all times during the Event. Access to the Event facilities will not be granted to those without a registration badge. If an Attendee loses, misplaces, or forgets his or her registration badge, the Attendee must contact an Event representative to have a replacement badge reissued. Once the new registration badge is released to the Attendee, the lost registration badge will become invalid.
1.6. Compliance with Applicable Laws. While on MBI’s premises, or at the Event, all Attendees and their invitees must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, these Terms and Conditions, and all relevant or applicable MBI policies and/or rules.
