Unite Attendance and Participation Policy

As a registered attendee, speaker, sponsor or participant at Shopify’s 2016 Unite Conference and Conference-related events you agree to follow the terms of this Attendance and Participation Policy. We appreciate your cooperation to help ensure a safe environment for all Conference participants.

Tickets

  • Your credit card will not be charged and you will not receive your ticket until your registration has been approved by Shopify.
  • Fees are due at the time your registration is approved. If payment is insufficient or declined for any reason, Shopify may refuse to admit you. 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.
  • Your ticket entitles you to admittance to the Conference and Conference-related events only. All other costs associated with attendance (e.g., travel and accommodation expenses) are your responsibility, and Shopify will have no liability for these costs.
  • You understand and agree that tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. Tickets cannot be sold, resold, bartered, auctioned, or transferred in any way. You are responsible for choosing to submit a registration form and Shopify will not be liable for any errors in submission, payment or ticket processing.
  • All determinations of special rates and discounts are in the sole discretion of Shopify. Even if you meet the definition and requirements for a discount or special rate, Shopify reserves the right to not provide you any special rate.

Attendee Requirements

  • Shopify may change, substitute or cancel any aspect of the Conference, including the Conference name, themes, content, program, speakers, moderators, venue and time.
