EVENTS

The following Terms and Conditions (the “Terms & Conditions”) apply to all events held by Divignment® DBA The Elevation Group, LLC under the brands “Divignment®” and “The YES! Summit” and “The YES! Summit for Women” (“YES” “we” “our” or “us”). Prior to your registration or transaction, you must acknowledge and accept the Terms & Conditions contained herein. Should you not wish to accept the Terms & Conditions you should not register or complete the transaction.

Your submitting a registration, purchasing a ticket, accepting a ticket, or accepting products or services that are related to our events will be considered affirmation of your acceptance of these Terms & Conditions.

General

Divignment® reserves the right to change, amend, add, or remove any of the terms or conditions contained in this Agreement in its sole discretion and without prior notice. If one or more of the conditions outlined in these Terms & Conditions should become invalid, the remaining terms will continue to be valid and apply. These Terms & Conditions apply to all event participants (attendees, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors) and take precedence over all other agreements.

The views expressed by any event attendee, speaker, exhibitor, or sponsor are not necessarily those of Divignment®. All attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors are solely responsible for the content, presentations, marketing collateral, and/or advertising presented on behalf of their respective corporations or themselves as individuals.

Ticket Transfer

When eligible, ticket transfer requests must be submitted no later than 30 days prior to the event date. Ticket transfer requests must adhere to the following instructions:

  • Send an email support@erikalynnette.com with the subject “Ticket Transfer Request” and copy the person who you would like the ticket transferred to (“Transferee”).

  • In the body of the email include the first and last name and email address of the Transferee.

  • The Transferee should also send an email to support@erikalynnette.com and include in the body of the email an affirmative acceptance of the transfer and these Terms & Conditions similar to the following: “I accept the YES! Summit Attendee Terms and Conditions and transfer.”

Ticket transfer requests are typically handled within five (5) business days of receiving a valid request and acceptance of our terms. Once we verify all items have been accepted, we will send both parties confirmation of the transfer.

Once the Transferee accepts a ticket transfer, a new ticket is issued to the Transferee and the sender's tickets are invalid. If a ticket has been transferred multiple times, only the ticket from the last transfer will be valid for event entry – all previous tickets will be invalidated.

The sender can modify or cancel a ticket transfer before the Transferee accepts the transfer – not after.

Divignment® reserves the right to cancel transferred tickets, at any time, if we determine that those tickets were obtained fraudulently or otherwise in violation of our policies. If an event is canceled or otherwise modified to warrant a refund, only the original purchaser will be eligible for a refund. Transferees must seek refunds from the individuals who sold them their tickets.

Ticket Resale

Lawful ticket resales are subject to the transfer limitations as described above. Unlawful resale (or attempted resale), counterfeit, or copies of tickets are grounds for seizure and cancellation without compensation. You are responsible for complying with all applicable ticket resale laws. In addition, Divignment® reserves the right to restrict or deny ticket purchasing privileges to anyone that we determine to be, or has been, in violation of our policies. Because we do not guarantee the authenticity of tickets purchased from any non-authorized third party reseller (such as brokers or individuals), we recommend that you purchase tickets directly through us, to ensure ticket authenticity.

Tickets may not be used for advertising, promotions, contests or sweepstakes, unless formal written authorization is given by us.

You May Be Subject to Search

You and your belongings may be searched upon entry or reentry into our events. You consent to such searches and waive any related claims against us or our affiliates, employees, owners, or any third parties acting on our behalf that may arise. If you elect not to consent to such searches, you may be denied entry to the event without refund or other compensation. Under certain facility rules, certain items may not be brought into the premises, including without limitation, firearms, alcohol, drugs, controlled substances, cameras, recording devices, laser pointers, strobe lights, irritants (e.g., artificial noisemakers), packages, and containers.

Canceled, Rescheduled, Relocated, and Converted Events

Except when mandated by law, Divignment® does not provide refunds for postponed, rescheduled, relocated, or converted events, partial performances, or venue, date, lineup, or time changes.

Divignment® reserves the right to convert any live event to a virtual event, at our own sole discretion, and without further compensation to you. We therefore recommend that you purchase refundable tickets and hotel accommodations, and travel insurance with adequate coverage when preparing to attend our live events. In situations where the live event has been converted to a virtual event, we will provide at least 30 days’ notice to you using the email address we have for you on file.

Divignment® reserves the right to postpone, relocate, or reschedule any event, at our own sole discretion, and without further compensation to you. If an event is postponed, relocated, or rescheduled, you may use the tickets to attend the postponed, relocated, or rescheduled event either in person or virtually if virtual attendance is available.

In the rare circumstance that an event is canceled, we will issue full refunds to the original ticket purchasers only.

Refunds and Exchanges

Unless the event has been canceled in accordance with the cancelation section above, refunds will not be issued after a ticket has been purchased. Divignment® may occasionally offer tickets at a discount after the original ticket release date and will not refund the difference between the original price and the sale price.

You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not dispute or otherwise seek a "chargeback" from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets from us. Should you do so, your tickets are subject to immediate cancellation, and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit future purchases from all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Divignment® from applying to and obtaining from any court having jurisdiction a temporary injunction, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief available to safeguard and protect our interests and prevent immediate loss. We shall also be entitled to file in any court having jurisdiction any suit necessary to enforce a decision or award resulting from any arbitration or other proceeding.
