The absence or substitution of any such person shall not create a refund right.
21. POSTPONEMENT AND RESCHEDULING
Bond Summit may postpone or reschedule a Summit when it reasonably determines that doing so is necessary or advisable and may automatically apply the Registration to replacement dates. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, postponement or rescheduling shall not be treated as cancellation and shall not automatically create a refund right.
22. RELOCATION
Bond Summit may change the specific venue or property at which a Summit occurs and may relocate the Summit where reasonably necessary because of availability, safety, force majeure, operational requirements, or circumstances beyond its reasonable control. Bond Summit shall determine, subject to applicable law, whether a material relocation warrants any additional accommodation.
23. CANCELLATION BY BOND SUMMIT
If Bond Summit permanently cancels the entire Summit and does not schedule, provide, or designate a replacement event, Bond Summit shall determine the applicable remedy subject to nonwaivable legal requirements.

28. PHYSICAL AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES
A Summit may include physical, outdoor, recreational, wellness, transportation, aquatic, sporting, fitness, adventure, or other voluntary activities. Bond Summit may require a supplemental waiver for particular activities. Refusal or inability to participate in an optional activity shall not create a refund or credit right.
29. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
THE ATTENDEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ATTENDANCE AT AND PARTICIPATION IN AN IN PERSON SUMMIT MAY INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS OF PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, ECONOMIC LOSS, AND OTHER HARM.
