These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“you”, “attendee”, or “user”) and [Company Legal Name], a [State of Formation] [Entity Type] (“Company”, “we”, “us”), governing your access to and use of our website, ticket purchases, and participation in the Detroit Real Estate Investment Experience (the “Event”, together with the website, the “Services”). By accessing the Services or purchasing a ticket, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Services.
2. Educational Purpose; No Professional Advice
All content, presentations, materials, tours, and discussions are provided for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on the Services or at the Event constitutes legal, tax, accounting, financial, real estate, brokerage, or investment advice, nor an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security or property. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions and should consult independent, licensed professionals in your jurisdiction before acting on any information.
3. Tickets; Registration
Tickets are personal, non-transferable licenses to attend the Event, subject to capacity and our Payment & Refund Policy. We may verify identity at check-in. We may refuse entry or remove any attendee for violating these Terms, applicable law, or reasonable instructions of Event staff, without refund.
4. Payments; Processor
Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates. By purchasing, you also agree to Stripe’s applicable end-user terms. We do not store full payment card numbers. Prices are shown in U.S. dollars and exclude applicable taxes unless stated. Any buy-now-pay-later options (e.g., Afterpay/Clearpay, Klarna, Cash App Pay) are provided by third parties under their own terms.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use the Services in violation of any law or third-party right;
- record, photograph, or livestream sessions, attendees, or properties without prior written consent;
- solicit, market, or pitch other attendees, sponsors, or contractors without our written approval;
- enter, damage, or disturb properties beyond areas designated by Event staff;
- harass, threaten, or discriminate against any person;
- attempt to probe, scan, disrupt, or reverse engineer any part of the Services;
- scrape, copy, or resell any content or attendee data.
6. Property Walk-Throughs; Assumption of Risk
Property walk-throughs and site visits involve inherent risks, including but not limited to uneven surfaces, construction conditions, environmental hazards, and travel. You voluntarily assume all such risks and agree to follow all safety instructions. You are responsible for your own health, travel, and personal insurance.
7. Media Release
The Event may be photographed or recorded. By attending, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use your likeness, voice, and statements captured at the Event for marketing, educational, and archival purposes. If you object, notify staff on arrival and we will use reasonable efforts to accommodate you.
8. Intellectual Property
All content on the Services and materials distributed at the Event—including text, graphics, logos, videos, slides, workbooks, and software—are owned by or licensed to the Company and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access such content for your personal, non-commercial educational use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
9. Third-Party Content and Links
The Services may reference or link to third-party sponsors, contractors, lenders, brokerages, or content. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for third parties, their offerings, or any transactions you enter into with them.
10. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR ANY WARRANTY THAT INVESTMENT RESULTS, RETURNS, OR OUTCOMES WILL BE ACHIEVED. STATISTICS AND MARKET DATA ARE FROM SOURCES BELIEVED TO BE RELIABLE BUT ARE NOT GUARANTEED.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, SPONSORS, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, BUSINESS, OR INVESTMENT LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THE EVENT. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $100. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN SUCH CASES, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from (a) your use of the Services, (b) your breach of these Terms, (c) your violation of any law or third-party right, or (d) any investment or transaction you enter into based on information you obtained through the Services or Event.
13. Force Majeure
We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, weather, fire, epidemic or pandemic, government action, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, utility or internet outages, or venue unavailability. We may reschedule, relocate, or convert the Event to a virtual format; your ticket will remain valid for the rescheduled Event.
14. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, U.S.A., without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute informally. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Wayne County, Michigan, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property or confidentiality matters. You and the Company waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. Any claim must be filed within one (1) year of accrual or is permanently barred, to the extent permitted by law.
15. Reservation of Rights
We reserve the right to modify the Event program, speakers, properties, venues, and Services at any time, and to update these Terms by posting a revised version. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
16. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access or ticket for any breach of these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
17. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and other policies referenced here, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Services. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor.
