KWRI EVENT PARTICIPANT GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please read these Terms and Conditions (the Agreement) carefully. This Agreement is between you and Keller Williams Realty, Inc. (“KWRI” “we” or “us”).

KWRI reserves the right to amend, alter, or modify the terms of this Agreement at any time. When you register for either a digital or in-person event (Event), by clicking, or tapping any button or box marked “accept,” “agree” or “OK” (or a similar term), or purchasing a membership, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any changes to it. References to “you” and “your” in this Agreement mean you and/or the organization you represent.

Your admission, attendance, and participation at the Event is subject to your compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If KWRI believes in its sole, unrestricted discretion that you have violated these terms, KWRI may terminate your admission and access to the Event without any refund or other liability of any kind.

This Agreement contains a mandatory arbitration provision that, as described below, requires use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than by jury trials or any other court proceedings, or class actions or class arbitrations.

Use of Likeness, RFID, Browsing.

I grant KWRI permission to interview me during the event and use my likeness in photographs or videos in any KWRI publications or media (including websites), whether now known or hereafter existing, in perpetuity.

I waive the right to inspect or approve the finished product in which my interview or likeness appears.

KWRI may provide attendees with smart badges (containing RFID) for certain events. In these instances, this technology will monitor attendee activity in specified locations within the event venue. By attending the event and wearing a smart badge, each attendee is providing consent to RFID tracking or facial recognition services at the event.

To enhance and enrich digital events experience, I understand and agree that KWRI may monitor or record my on-line (web browsing) activity occurring on those web sites provided to me by KWRI (or KWRI’s third-party provider) for such event.

In order to opt out of this arbitration provision, you must notify us in writing that you do not want to resolve disputes with us by arbitration, and such notice should be delivered by e-mail to legal@kw.com or by mail to 1221 S.

For arbitrations outside of California, the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party if such an award is allowed under applicable law. For arbitrations within California, the arbitrator shall not have the authority to award attorney's fees and costs to a claimant who does not prevail against.

Waiver.

Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the provisions of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of any such provisions, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power within these Terms, at any one or more times, be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times.

Any cancellation made one (1) day or more prior to the event start date is refundable, less a twenty percent (20%) cancellation fee. Such fee is also applicable to any registration add-ons, including reserved seats or social passes.

KWRI reserves the right to cancel any registration at any time without issuing a refund.
