1. By registering for the event, you are agreeing to all the terms of this agreement.

2. REFUNDS – Of course we hope that nothing pops up last minute preventing you from coming to the best Short Term Rental Conference around! But we know things do happen so here is our refund policy PER PERSON should you need to cancel: **Please note we have a lot of fixed costs for hotel, tour bus, catering etc. and that we have limited space and last minute cancelations would prevent us from being able to have another person join. If cancelled 30 or more days in advance 100% refund (less $100 processing fee). If cancelled 8 days to 29 days in advance 50% refund (less $100 processing fee). If cancelled with 7 days or less notice there will be NO REFUND (sorry to shout … just want to be CLEAR)  

3. Do NOT make non-refundable travel arrangements until AFTER we confirm your registration.  We’re not responsible for any losses you suffer for non-refundable travel expenses.”

4. We’re going to audio and video tape.  We might capture your voice or image.  We might use it to promote future seminars, decorate our website, or whatever we feel like.  You’re okay with that.

5. No one can promise you success.  You’re a grown up and you accept FULL and SOLE responsibility for your own decisions, actions, and results.  Even if you get the idea from one of our speakers or a fellow attendee.  If you make a bazillion dollars, you get to keep it. If you make a mistake and it costs you, that’s on you too.

6. If something bad happens, you’re not blaming us, our speakers, the hotel staff, the taxi cab driver, the airplane pilot, the shoeshine guy, or any of the other attendees.  See #6

7. If for whatever reason you get injured during the seminar, traveling to a property, or in or around the event premises’ you’re authorizing medical treatment as needed.  Our lawyers don’t want us getting sued for giving you a band-aid.
