1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to GoldenCRI — The Center for Research & Innovation ("GoldenCRI," "we," "us," "our," or "the Center").

GoldenCRI provides professional, academic, research, leadership-development, strategic-management, innovation, conference, consultation, publication, and related educational services. GoldenCRI conducts strategic leadership conferences and related professional-development activities for participants from the United States and other countries.

These Terms of Service ("Terms," "Terms of Service," or "Agreement") establish the terms and conditions governing registration for, payment for, and participation in GoldenCRI conferences, programs, consultations, publications, digital services, and related activities.

By registering for a GoldenCRI conference or program, submitting payment, requesting digital access, submitting information through the GoldenCRI website, or otherwise participating in a GoldenCRI program, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not register for, pay for, or participate in a GoldenCRI program.

GoldenCRI's existing website states that conference participants are expected to review the Center's Terms of Service and that the conference registration fee is subject to the conditions established by GoldenCRI.

3. GOLDENCRI'S SERVICES

GoldenCRI provides an intellectual and professional platform for research, innovation, leadership development, strategic thinking, organizational development, and professional advancement.

The Center's website describes GoldenCRI as a research and innovation organization providing a platform for leadership training and development of sustainable competitive strategies and opportunities for intellectual presentation of research outcomes and publication in peer-reviewed journals.

GoldenCRI may provide, depending upon the particular program:

  1. Strategic leadership conferences;
  2. Research conferences;
  3. Leadership-development programs;
  4. Professional-development programs;
  5. Research presentation opportunities;
  6. Strategic-management discussions;
  7. Consultation services;
  8. Digital conference participation;
  9. Conference materials;
  10. Certificates of participation;
  11. Research and publication opportunities; and
  12. Other educational or professional services identified on the GoldenCRI website or flyers.

Specific services, benefits, speakers, schedules, locations, and program features may differ from one conference or program to another.

4. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION

GoldenCRI conferences may be open to qualified:

  • Business executives;
  • Entrepreneurs;
  • Government officials;
  • University administrators;
  • Faculty members;
  • Researchers;
  • Students and emerging professionals;
  • Nonprofit leaders;
  • Consultants;
  • Managers;
  • Professionals;
  • Organizational leaders; and
  • Other individuals determined to be appropriate for participation.

GoldenCRI may establish specific eligibility requirements for particular conferences, programs, or research activities as it may deem fit from time to time.

Registration does not guarantee acceptance where a program has limited capacity or specific eligibility criteria.

GoldenCRI reserves the right, to decline or cancel a registration when necessary to maintain the integrity, safety, or objectives of a program.

5. CONFERENCE REGISTRATION

Participants must complete the official GoldenCRI registration process accurately and completely.

Registration information must be truthful, current, and submitted by the individual who intends to participate.

A participant shall not:

  • Register using another person's identity;
  • Submit materially false information;
  • Misrepresent professional, academic, governmental, or organizational credentials;
  • Provide fraudulent documentation; or
  • Attempt to circumvent GoldenCRI's registration procedures.

GoldenCRI's website currently instructs participants to complete a conference registration form and then proceed through the designated payment and payment-confirmation process.

6. PAYMENT OF CONFERENCE FEES

Conference fees must be paid in accordance with GoldenCRI payment terms published for the applicable conference.

Registration is not considered complete until GoldenCRI receives the required payment and any required confirmation information.

GoldenCRI may establish different fees for:

  • Early registration;
  • Regular registration;
  • Late registration;
  • Special conferences;
  • Digital attendance;
  • Research presenters;
  • Additional services; or
  • Other categories of participation.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing by GoldenCRI, all applicable fees MUST be paid by participants before receiving invitation letters and participating in any of the conferences.

GoldenCRI's website currently lists conference fees in U.S. dollars and may impose late-registration fees where applicable.

7. NON-REFUNDABLE REGISTRATION POLICY

GoldenCRI's existing Terms of Service expressly state that conference fees are non-refundable and non-transferable to another person.

Each participant, therefore, should carefully evaluate his or her ability to attend before submitting payment.

Payment of a registration fee does not create a right to a refund because the participant:

  • Changes personal plans;
  • Changes employment;
  • Changes travel arrangements;
  • Is unable to obtain a preferred flight;
  • Fails to make hotel arrangements;
  • Changes professional obligations;
  • Changes his or her mind; or
  • Is otherwise unable to attend, except where a refund is legally required or GoldenCRI expressly agrees otherwise.

However, a participant may request to reschedule his/her participation to another scheduled conference within 12 calendar months.

8. REGISTRATION VALIDITY AND RESCHEDULING

Subject to the specific terms applicable to the conference for which payment was made, GoldenCRI may permit a paid participant who is unable to attend a particular conference to use the registration toward another qualifying GoldenCRI conference within the period specified by GoldenCRI.

GoldenCRI's current Terms of Service provide that registration fees may remain valid for a 12-month period and permit attendance at another scheduled conference under stated conditions.

Any rescheduled attendance:

  1. Must remain in the original participant's name;
  2. Cannot ordinarily be transferred to another person;
  3. Is subject to availability;
  4. May be subject to program-specific conditions; and
  5. Does not entitle the participant to any type refund(s).

The specific validity period applicable to a registration shall be the period stated on the registration materials or applicable Terms in effect at the time of payment.

9. TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION

Conference registrations are personal to the registered participant.

Under any conditions, GoldenCRI does not permit any participant to sell, re-assign, transfer, or otherwise give a registration to another person.

GoldenCRI's current Terms expressly provide that conference registration payments may not be transferred to another candidate.

10. CONFERENCE SCHEDULES AND AGENDAS

GoldenCRI develops conference agendas based upon its academic, professional, logistical, and organizational plans.

Conference agendas may include:

  • Speakers;
  • Presenters;
  • Topics;
  • Session times;
  • Breaks;
  • Workshops;
  • Group activities;
  • Research presentations; and
  • Other conference activities.

GoldenCRI reserves the right to modify the agenda when reasonably necessary.

Changes may include:

  • Substitution of speakers;
  • Modification of presentation topics;
  • Changes in session times;
  • Changes in session duration;
  • Cancellation of a particular session;
  • Addition of sessions; or
  • Reorganization of the conference schedule.

GoldenCRI's existing Terms specifically reserve the right to change conference agendas, including presenters, topics, and presentation times. Such changes do not create ground for a refund.

11. CONFERENCE VENUE

GoldenCRI determines the venue for each conference.

The Center may change a venue when reasonably necessary because of:

  • Availability;
  • Capacity;
  • Safety;
  • Transportation considerations;
  • Government requirements;
  • Hotel or facility circumstances;
  • Operational requirements;
  • Public emergencies; or
  • Other legitimate circumstances.

GoldenCRI's existing Terms reserve the right to change conference venues and instruct participants to monitor the website for updates.

Participants are responsible for reviewing current conference information before traveling.

12. HOTEL AND ACCOMMODATION

As expressly stated in existing Terms, hotel accommodation, feeding, transportation are not included in the GoldenCRI conference registration fee.

Participants are responsible for making their own hotel reservations and for complying with the hotel's policies.

Hotels operate independently from GoldenCRI and establish their own:

  • Rates;
  • Cancellation policies;
  • Check-in requirements;
  • Check-out requirements;
  • Deposit requirements;
  • Identification requirements;
  • Taxes and fees; and
  • Other contractual conditions.

GoldenCRI is not responsible for hotel cancellations, overbooking, pricing, service quality, personal property, hotel policies, or disputes between a participant and a hotel.

GoldenCRI's current website expressly states that participants are responsible for reserving their hotels and that GoldenCRI is not responsible for hotel policies.

13. INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPANTS AND VISAS

International participants are responsible for determining whether they require a visa or other authorization to enter the country in which a GoldenCRI conference is held.

GoldenCRI may provide an official invitation letter to an appropriately registered participant where applicable.

However, GoldenCRI does not guarantee visa approval, admission to any country, immigration authorization, or issuance of a visa.

GoldenCRI is not a visa agent and does not control the decision-making process of any embassy, consulate, immigration authority, or government agency.

The decision to approve or deny a visa or entry authorization rests exclusively with the appropriate governmental authority.

Participants should initiate visa procedures sufficiently early to accommodate governmental processing times.

Failure to obtain a visa does not create a right to a refund as the applicable registration fee is non-refundable.

14. INVITATION LETTERS

GoldenCRI may issue an official conference invitation letter to a properly registered participant when appropriate.

An invitation letter:

  1. Is issued only for legitimate conference participation;
  2. Does not constitute a guarantee of visa issuance;
  3. Does not constitute a guarantee of immigration admission;
  4. Does not establish an employment relationship;
  5. Does not constitute financial sponsorship unless expressly stated;
  6. Must not be altered or falsified; and
  7. May not be transferred to another person.

Participants are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of information submitted in connection with immigration or visa applications.

15. DIGITAL ACCESS AND ONLINE PARTICIPATION

Participants who cannot attend a conference physically may, where digital participation is offered, request authorized digital access.

GoldenCRI's website currently provides for online participation and requires participants to request digital access within a specified period before the conference.

Digital participation is subject to:

  • Technical availability;
  • Internet connectivity;
  • Platform availability;
  • Participant's equipment;
  • Participant's internet service;
  • GoldenCRI's digital-access procedures; and
  • Any conference-specific digital-access requirements.

GoldenCRI does not guarantee uninterrupted internet or platform availability.

A participant authorized for digital access may be subject to different participation conditions than a physically attending participant.

16. DIGITAL CREDENTIALS

Where digital access is authorized, GoldenCRI may issue a username, password, access code, link, or other authentication credential.

Such credentials are:

  • Personal;
  • Confidential;
  • Non-transferable; and
  • Intended solely for the authorized participant.

Participants must not share digital credentials with unauthorized persons.

Unauthorized sharing may result in immediate termination of digital access without refund, subject to applicable law.

17. CONFERENCE MATERIALS

GoldenCRI may provide participants with conference manuals, presentation materials, digital materials, research materials, or other educational resources.

The GoldenCRI website currently states that participants may receive a conference presentation manual and that online attendees may receive a digital edition.

Conference materials are provided for the participant's personal educational and professional use unless otherwise authorized.

Participants may not reproduce, commercially distribute, sell, license, publicly upload, or otherwise exploit copyrighted conference materials without written authorization from the applicable copyright owner.

18. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unless otherwise indicated, GoldenCRI and/or its licensors retain all applicable rights in:

  • GoldenCRI trademarks;

  • Original presentations;
  • Manuals;
  • Publications;
  • Graphics;
  • Videos;
  • Audio recordings;
  • Written materials;
  • Digital resources; and
  • Other proprietary content.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of GoldenCRI intellectual property to a participant.

Participants retain ownership of their original scholarly or professional work, subject to any separate publication, presentation, licensing, or copyright agreement applicable to that work.

19. RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS

GoldenCRI may provide opportunities for participants and presenters to present research outcomes and may provide publication opportunities through its scholarly activities.

The GoldenCRI website identifies the American Journal of Strategic Leadership (AJSL) as a GoldenCRI peer-reviewed publication.

Submission of a research paper does not automatically guarantee publication.

Publication may be subject to:

  • Peer review;
  • Editorial review;
  • Formatting requirements;
  • Academic standards;
  • Ethical requirements;
  • Originality requirements;
  • Copyright considerations; and
  • Other publication criteria.

GoldenCRI reserves the right to decline publication of material that does not satisfy applicable academic, editorial, legal, or ethical standards.

20. PARTICIPANT REPRESENTATIONS

Participants may not independently record, livestream, reproduce, or commercially distribute conference sessions without appropriate authorization.

23. CONSULTATION SERVICES

Where a conference or program includes consultation services, such consultation shall be provided according to the terms applicable to that particular program.

26. CONFERENCE CANCELLATION OR POSTPONEMENT BY GOLDENCRI
