Terms of Service
Official conference bylaws, registration stipulations, venue code of conduct, and disciplinary protocols governing all IVYES 2026 participants.
1. Acceptance of Terms & Eligibility
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a binding legal agreement between participating delegates, accompanying faculty advisors, institutional contingents ("Participant", "Delegate", or "You") and the Ivy Entrepreneurial Summit ("IVYES", "We", or "Summit Administration").

- Binding Agreement: Submitting a registration form, paying pass fees, or entering the summit premises confirms full and unconditional acceptance of these Terms.
2. Registration Fees, Non-Refundable & Non-Transferable Policy
All registration fees paid for Delegate Passes, Delegation Contingents, social entries, or associated summit credentials are strictly non-refundable and strictly non-transferable under any and all circumstances once submitted.
- No Refunds Under Any Circumstance: Registration fees will not be refunded in the event of personal scheduling conflicts, academic exams, travel delays, institutional withdrawal, illness, visa refusal, no-shows, or voluntary delegate cancellation.

Passes cannot be transferred, re-assigned, substituted, sold, or deferred to any other person, student, or future summit edition.
