Policies

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By registering and agreeing to these terms, you hereby release Dream Events, Inc®., its employees, and any sponsors, vendors, instructors or associates from any and all liability, claims, lawsuits, damages, losses, costs, and expenses of any kind which arise out of or result from your attendance and participation in the Scrapper’s Dream Vacation®, whether or not foreseeable, including personal injuries to yourself. With your attendance at this event, you agree that you and/or your scrapbooks may be included in publicity photos. These special weekend package rates do not include any incidentals incurred by you such as phone bills, rollaways, refrigerators, room service, movie charges, etc., and will be your responsibility to pay the hotel for these extra charges before check-out.

ATTENDEE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS / GUEST ROOMING LIST:  Due to the specific nature of the meeting contracts that Dream Events, Inc. negotiates with each individual hotel/resort location, we do require that ALL attendees who will be lodging and residing in a guest room during our event be listed on our official "Guest Rooming List" document. In addition to our contract requirements for any particular event location, this information may also help us locate a particular person or persons in case of an emergency situation should one arise during our stay. Failure to comply with this policy will void the confirmed attendee registration process for the individual or group in question depending on the circumstances presented. A definite exception to this rule would be an attendee who books and pays for their own guest room reservation for a weekend event that is sponsored by Dream Events, Inc. In any case that person should be listed on the registration roster for the hotel front desk department and this can easily be confirmed by Dream Events, Inc. upon request to the hotel reservation or group sales departments.

ELECTRICAL USAGE:  Dream Events, Inc.® does not supply electrical cords or outlets for your personal table lights at most locations. If you choose to take advantage of a nearby electrical outlet in the hotel crop room, you must secure your own electrical cord to the floor with duct tape only. No clear tape or masking tape shall be acceptable and will need to be replaced immediately with the proper duct tape. If this is not possible, the electric cord will need to be removed immediately. Dream Events, Inc.® cannot supply duct tape to any attendees. Dream Events, Inc.® is furthermore released from any and all liability, claims, lawsuits, damages, losses, costs, and expenses of any kind which arise out of or result from your usage of the hotel's electrical supply.

BEVERAGES:  Due to the fact that everyone's photos and paper supplies are spread out around the room, there will be NO open drink containers allowed in the crop room. Please make sure all your drinks are in a covered mug or a screw cap bottle. Alcoholic beverages cannot be displayed openly and drinking of alcoholic beverages should be kept to a respectable minimum. No loud vulgarities and rude behavior will be tolerated.

CROP TABLES:  Due to the fact that everyone brings a lot of crop totes, etc. to this program, we ask that you respect the very generous six foot minimum of aisle space between the tables where chairs meet back to back, and keep your belongings condensed and as close to your crop space as possible. Fire codes and other safety issues do not tolerate any clogging of walkways and doorways.

UNSOLICITED ADVERTISING:  Unsolicited advertising in the form of coupons, flyers, and any other means, printed or otherwise, is strictly prohibited. Any person or group found distributing unsolicited advertising will be subject to advertising fees determined by Dream Events, Inc. Distribution of flyers, coupons and any other printed materials is in direct violation of attendee registration and our contracts with on-site vendors.

UNAPPROVED SELLING:  Selling products from your table without previously obtaining permission from Dream Events, Inc. will not be tolerated. Any person or group found selling items at the Scrapper's Dream Vacation®, without filling out a vendor form and paying the required vendor booth fees will be charged additional vendor fees and will be required to remove the items for sale from the premises immediately.

BABIES & TODDLERS:  There will be no babies or toddlers allowed in the crop room or classrooms at the SDV for an extended period of time. A quick visit by family members is acceptable, but we do not want them to be in the crop room for longer than that.

RETURNED CHECK FEE:  There will be a $25.00 penalty fee added to your account balance for any checks returned for Insufficient Funds.

TRANSFERS: If you choose to transfer a credit from a canceled event, and then you cancel the next event it is applied to, the credit is then non-refundable. We cannot transfer credits more than one time.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOMMATES - When you cancel, your roommate(s) are automatically changed to the correct package, and they will be responsible for the increase in their package costs. They have the option to cancel their package or replace your spot with someone else.  If you are due a refund, and you have canceled within three weeks of the SDV, your roommate(s) must pay for their new package balance before any refunds are made to insure that all room charges are covered.  

NO SHOWS = ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS!!!  Anyone who does not show up at the SDV without prior written notice are considered to be NO-SHOWS.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Due to the sluggish economy, we need to keep an accurate count on attendees and sleeping rooms. All balances wil need to be paid by the required deadlines, and we will not accept final payments at the event. If you cannot attend, you are responsible for canceling your registration by logging into your account or by Emailing Nancy@dreameventsinc.com to cancel.  We understand that some people are having financial problems, and we are willing to work with you as best we can, but we need to hear from you.  Otherwise, we will be canceling registrations when your payments are not made on time. Thank you for your cooperation.
