The Organization is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization supports professionals working in creative pixel production, live events, creative installations, and virtual production through education, collaboration, and community programming. Corporate Partnership contributions support these activities and provide access to community engagement opportunities and benefits.

Corporate Partnership contributions are due at registration. Corporate Partnership fees are generally non-refundable and non-transferable. Corporate Partnership access may be suspended for non-payment.

Corporate Partnership contributions are intended to qualify as Qualified Sponsorship Payments under Section 513(i) of the Internal Revenue Code. Benefits provided are limited to recognition and do not constitute advertising, endorsements, or substantial return benefits.

Corporate Partner acknowledges that:

If benefits provided exceed the limits of a Qualified Sponsorship Payment, the Organization reserves the right to adjust benefits or recharacterize the contribution as required by law. Corporate Partner is responsible for determining the tax deductibility of its contribution. No goods or services are provided in exchange for the contribution except for incidental recognition benefits as described herein.

Corporate Partnership is valid for one (1) year from the date of registration unless otherwise specified. Corporate Partnership will renew automatically at the end of each Term unless the Corporate Partner cancels prior to renewal in accordance with the Organization’s cancellation procedures. The Organization may provide notice of renewal in advance, but Corporate Partner is responsible for managing cancellation prior to renewal. Corporate Partnership is specific to the registered entity and non-transferable unless otherwise expressly permitted. 

Corporate Partner acknowledges that its contribution is made in support of the Organization’s charitable mission and not in exchange for commercial benefit. Corporate Partnership benefits are further described in the applicable Benefits Schedule, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. Corporate Partnership benefits are designed as recognition and engagement opportunities in support of the Organization’s mission. Benefits may include public acknowledgment, invitations to events, and participation in community discussions.

Each Party retains all right, title, and interest in and to its respective names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrighted materials, and other intellectual property (“IP”). Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any IP from one Party to the other.

The Organization is a nonprofit organization recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is therefore subject to restrictions on political and lobbying activities.

Corporate Partner may not represent the Organization as endorsing political candidates, political parties, or political campaigns. Corporate Partner shall not use the Organization events, communications channels, or Corporate Partnership status to engage in political campaign activity. Corporate Partner shall not engage in lobbying activities on behalf of the Organization unless expressly authorized in writing by the Organization. Corporate Partner may engage in political activity in a personal capacity only, and not as representatives of the Organization. The Organization reserves the right to suspend or terminate Corporate Partnership if Corporate Partner actions threaten the Organization’s compliance with applicable nonprofit laws or its tax-exempt status.

The Organization may terminate Corporate Partnership for violation of the Code of Conduct, non-payment, or conduct harmful to the Organization.

Corporate Partner agrees to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with participation in the Organization activities, including but not limited to situations where Corporate Partner may seek to influence programming decisions for personal or commercial benefit, promote services, products, or investments in a manner inconsistent with the Organization’s mission, or participate in decision-making processes where Corporate Partner has a financial interest. The Organization reserves the right to require disclosure of such conflicts and may take appropriate action to protect the integrity and independence of the Organization, including restricting participation in certain activities. Nothing in this clause shall prevent Corporate Partner from engaging in their professional work or business activities outside the Organization, provided that such activities are not represented as being endorsed by the Organization.

The Organization reserves the right to modify or update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Any such changes will be effective upon posting or upon notice to Corporate Partner as applicable. Continued Corporate Partnership following such changes constitutes Corporate Partner’s acceptance of the revised Terms.

All rights and remedies accrued prior to termination shall remain enforceable notwithstanding such termination.

These Terms and Conditions, together with any documents incorporated herein by reference (including, without limitation, applicable policies, guidelines, and program materials), constitute the entire agreement between the Organization and Corporate Partner with respect to the subject matter herein and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, or understandings, whether written or oral.
