I. MASTER POLICY (Applies to ALL Registrants)
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. No refunds will be issued for any reason, including turnout, weather, personal emergencies, or "lack of results." Chargeback Waiver: You expressly agree not to initiate a chargeback or payment dispute. Any attempt to reverse payment is a breach of contract and may result in legal action. No Guarantees: Gameacon does not guarantee attendance, specific floor placement, sales, or digital traffic. Participants accept full responsibility for their own performance. Transfer Terms: Space may be transferred to another approved creator ONLY with written consent from Gameacon no later than four weeks prior to the event. Space may not be resold for profit. Force Majeure: If the event is canceled due to circumstances beyond our control, a credit may be issued toward a future event at our sole discretion.

Mandatory Attendance: You must be present Saturday (11am–8pm) and Sunday (11am–6pm) to be eligible for the Crystal Awards. Power & Electricity: Electricity is not guaranteed and is not included.
