PersaCon 2008 Registration Policies

These policies apply to all attendees, whether they preregister or purchase a membership at the door.

1. All attendees agree to comply with PersaCon rules and policies, the directions of PersaCon, Bevill Center staff, and all applicable Alabama, Federal, and local laws.

2. An attendee may have membership revoked and be expelled from the premises for any reason at the sole discretion of PersaCon staff. No refund will be given in the event of such expulsion.

3. Attendees agree to allow photographs and/or video with their likeness to be used by PersaCon or the New England Anime Society for promotional purposes.

4. Attendees agree to provide complete and accurate registration information. PersaCon is not responsible if an attendee cannot be contacted with the information provided.

5. Payment must be sent immediately once the payment form is filled out. Paypal payments must be received within one day; mail-in payments must be received within two weeks or your payment will be cancelled. Payments which do not clear are subject to a $20 service charge.

6. Membership is non-refundable and non-transferable. Badges and membership may not be resold. Staff reserve the right to check ID for anyone they suspect is carrying a badge that is not their own.

7. Badges must be worn and visible at all times for access to convention events. Each attendee must retain possession of his or her own badge for the duration of the convention and may not loan or give the badge to anyone else except as directed by PersaCon staff.

8. No replacement will be provided for lost badges; a new membership must be purchased at the full rate. Damaged badges may be replaced at the discretion of the Director of Registration (bring the pieces to Registration).

9.   PersaCon reserves the right to censor or refuse badge names that may be considered obscene, vulgar, or otherwise offensive or inappropriate. Such determination will be made at the sole discretion of PersaCon staff.

10. The only valid registration rates are those posted on the registration website. No discounts will be given except as listed there.

11. Badges are only available for pickup during listed registration hours, and only at the convention. Badges will not be mailed. No badges of any sort will be issued other than during the listed registration hours.

12. Valid photo ID is required for badge pickup. Minors without ID may pick up their badges with the accompaniment of a parent or legal guardian. Attendees 18 and over must present government-issued photo ID; school ID's are acceptable for attendees under 18.

13. Each attendee must pick up his/her own badge, unless the party leader agrees at registration time to pick up all badges for the whole party.

14. Child attendees (under age 13 at time of the convention) must be registered at the same time as a paying adult member, who must accompany them at the time of badge pickup.

15. Child attendees who register online must mail in a permission form that is provided in the payment process. If we do not receive this form within two weeks of registration, the child's registration will be cancelled, with no refund provided.

16. Any person found attempting to forge a membership badge, or presenting forged ID, will be removed from the convention and may be banned from future PersaCon events.

17. Any attempt to compromise the security of the registration process or gain unauthorized access to attendee data will result in loss of access to the registration system, loss of PersaCon 2008 registration without refund, and possible legal action.

18. These policies may be modified at any time, as deemed necessary by PersaCon 2008.
