BSidesDayton 2027
Terms and Conditions

You may use our website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not interfere with others or compromise the security or availability of the site. You may not attempt unauthorized access, introduce malware, scrape or harvest data without permission, or use the site to harass, defame, or distribute unlawful content.

Unless otherwise noted, content on this website (including text, graphics, logos, layout, and design) is owned by BSidesDayton or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from site content without prior written permission, except for personal, non-commercial reference or as allowed by law.

The BSides name and related marks are used under the BSides framework for community security events. Third-party trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Event admission may require registration, a valid ticket or badge, and compliance with venue rules. BSidesDayton organizers reserve the right to refuse entry or remove any participant who violates these Terms, the Code of Conduct, venue policies, or applicable law, without refund or compensation.

You are responsible for your own conduct and for any activity conducted from your accounts, devices, or network access while at the event. Do not engage in unauthorized access, disruption of networks or systems, distribution of malware, or other activity that violates law or venue policy, including during workshops, villages, or the capture-the-flag competition.

Participation in a live conference involves inherent risks, including illness, injury, or property loss. You attend voluntarily and assume responsibility for your health, safety, and personal belongings. BSidesDayton does not provide insurance for attendees.

Tickets and registrations may be sold or managed through authorized third-party platforms. Your purchase is subject to that platform's terms and privacy practices in addition to these Terms. You are responsible for providing accurate registration information and for safeguarding your ticket or badge.

• Obtain clear consent before taking photos or video of any person, including speakers after talks unless recording is explicitly permitted.
• Avoid "crowd shots" facing the audience; they often capture people without meaningful consent.
• If someone asks you to delete or not post an image, comply promptly.
• Press or media credentials do not exempt you from these rules.
• Some sessions or areas may prohibit recording; follow posted signs and staff direction.

BSidesDayton may designate staff or volunteers to photograph, record, or stream portions of the event for community outreach, archival, and educational purposes. Official media personnel will be identifiable and are expected to honor reasonable requests not to be photographed.

By attending a BSidesDayton event, you grant BSidesDayton and its authorized agents a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use photographs, video, audio, and other recordings that include your likeness, voice, or statements, when captured by official event media, for purposes including promoting the conference, documenting the community, and sharing educational content on the website, social media, streaming platforms, and partner channels.

This release includes the right to edit, excerpt, and distribute such media without additional compensation. You represent that you have the authority to grant this release and that your participation does not violate any other agreement or obligation.

If you do not wish to appear in official event media, notify staff at registration or contact us at [email protected]. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate opt-out requests. If you later see yourself in official BSidesDayton channels and want content removed, contact us and we will address the request promptly.

If you present, exhibit, or submit materials to BSidesDayton, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to record, reproduce, distribute, and publicly display your presentation and related materials for educational and community purposes, unless we agree otherwise in writing. You retain ownership of your original work and represent that you have the rights needed to grant this license. Speaker agreements or call-for-papers terms may provide additional detail.

We collect and use personal information as needed to operate the website, process registrations, communicate about the event, and improve our programs. Do not share others' personal information collected at the event without their consent. Contact us at [email protected] with privacy questions.

Our website and events may link to or integrate third-party services (ticketing, maps, social media, sponsors, and others). We are not responsible for third-party content, policies, or practices. Your use of those services is at your own risk.

The website and event are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, BSidesDayton disclaims warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free content, or specific outcomes from participation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BSidesDayton, its organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from your use of the website or attendance at an event. Our total liability for any claim relating to these Terms or the event will not exceed the amount you paid to BSidesDayton for the applicable ticket in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty U.S. dollars if no fee was paid.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BSidesDayton and its organizers, volunteers, and agents from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your conduct at the event, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the website or attendance after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
