1Purpose of Agreement

Client is engaging Company to plan, develop, coordinate, and produce one virtual expert panel or roundtable event under Company’s Done-For-You Panel Event package.

The engagement is designed to help Client create a professionally produced authority-building event. Company will provide the services described in this Agreement and the attached Event Specifications and Scope of Services.

The event is not intended to be a sales seminar, open forum, unrestricted question-and-answer session, or unmoderated discussion unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing.

2Engagement Term

The engagement will begin on the Effective Date and continue for three consecutive months unless:

  • The services are completed earlier;
  • The Parties agree in writing to extend the engagement; or
  • This Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

The three-month engagement includes planning, preparation, event production, and applicable post-event deliverables.

Any services requested after the three-month engagement period may require a separate written agreement and additional fees.

Delays caused by Client do not automatically extend the engagement period. Any extension resulting from Client delay must be approved by Company in writing and may require an additional fee.

3Package Price and Payment

The total package price is:

$2,997.00

The full package price is due when Client electronically signs this Agreement.

Company is not required to reserve an event date, begin planning, recruit panelists, create materials, or perform any services until:

  • This Agreement has been signed;
  • Payment has been successfully processed; and
  • Client has completed the required initial intake materials.

Client authorizes Company and its designated payment processor to charge the payment method provided by Client for the amount stated above.

If the Parties approve a payment arrangement in writing, Client remains responsible for the full contract price regardless of whether Client attends, participates in, postpones, cancels, or completes the event.

4Nonrefundable Payment

Client acknowledges that Company begins reserving production capacity, developing the event, allocating personnel, creating materials, and performing administrative services immediately after enrollment.

Accordingly, all payments are nonrefundable and nontransferable except where otherwise required by applicable law.

Client’s dissatisfaction with the following does not entitle Client to a refund:

  • Panelist availability or selection;
  • Audience registration or attendance;
  • Audience engagement;
  • Leads, sales, revenue, publicity, or business opportunities;
  • Client’s decision not to proceed;
  • Client’s failure to complete required responsibilities;
  • Client’s failure to attend or host the event;
  • Client-requested postponement or cancellation;
  • Client’s inability to use all services during the engagement period; or
  • Technical interruptions outside Company’s reasonable control.

5Scope of Services

Subject to Client’s timely cooperation, Company will provide the following services for one virtual panel event:

5.1  Event Strategy

Company will provide:

  • One event strategy and planning consultation;
  • Guidance regarding the event title, theme, intended audience, and authority positioning;
  • Development of the event format and general flow;
  • Guidance regarding panelist categories and areas of expertise;
  • Creation of a working event timeline; and
  • Reasonable strategic recommendations regarding the Client’s host role and event call to action.

5.2  Event Structure

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Company will develop a professionally moderated virtual event lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes.

The event may include:

  • A host opening;
  • An emcee or moderator introduction;
  • Individual panelist introductions;
  • Moderated expert discussion;
  • Individual panelist spotlight segments;
  • Approved complimentary resources;
  • A structured closing and Client call to action; and
  • Limited audience interaction when appropriate.

Company retains reasonable discretion over the timing, flow, sequence, and production format necessary to operate the event professionally.

5.3  Panelist Coordination

Company will assist with coordinating the number of panelists stated in the Event Specifications.

Panelist services may include:

  • Developing panelist criteria;
  • Preparing recruitment communications;
  • Contacting prospective panelists within the approved profile;
  • Reviewing potential panelists;
  • Coordinating panelist confirmations;
  • Distributing panelist instructions and deadlines;
  • Collecting required biographies, photographs, presentation information, and complimentary-offer details;
  • Requiring each confirmed panelist to complete Company’s Featured Panelist Agreement and pay any applicable panelist administrative fee;
  • Communicating event logistics; and
  • Coordinating one technical orientation or rehearsal when included in the event plan.

Company does not guarantee that any particular individual will agree to participate.

Panelist recruitment is limited to qualified experts, professionals, founders, business owners, coaches, consultants, speakers, authors, and similar participants reasonably available through Company’s outreach process.

Unless expressly included in the Event Specifications, Company is not responsible for recruiting celebrities, nationally recognized public figures, macro-influencers, or individuals who require speaking fees, appearance fees, travel expenses, commissions, or other compensation.

Client may recommend prospective panelists, but Company retains the right to reject any proposed participant whose qualifications, conduct, reputation, offer, availability, or positioning may negatively affect the event or Company’s brand.

5.4  Standby Speaker Guarantee

If a confirmed panelist cancels within 48 hours of the event, Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to secure a suitable replacement or standby panelist.

This guarantee does not promise that:

  • The replacement will have identical qualifications, credentials, reach, audience, or experience;
  • The replacement will represent the same professional specialty;
  • The replacement will be personally known to Client;
  • A replacement can be secured under all circumstances; or
  • The event will contain the originally intended number of panelists.

A late panelist cancellation does not constitute a failure by Company and does not entitle Client to a refund.

Company may proceed with the event using fewer panelists when Company reasonably determines that doing so will preserve the event’s quality and professional presentation.

5.5  Event Materials

Depending on the final Event Specifications, Company may create or coordinate:

  • An event registration page;
  • Event descriptions and registration copy;

Within a commercially reasonable period after the event, Company will provide the post-event materials specifically identified in the Event Specifications.

Any video clips included in the package:

  • Will be selected and edited at Company’s reasonable creative discretion;
  • Will be based on usable footage from the event;
  • May include Company-approved branding;
  • Include one reasonable revision round for factual or technical corrections unless otherwise stated; and

Client is responsible for actively promoting the event to Client’s network, contacts, email subscribers, social media audience, referral partners, and other appropriate communities.

Company may provide promotional materials and suggested messaging, but Client remains responsible for using those materials consistently and on schedule.

Client understands that registration and attendance depend on multiple factors outside Company’s control, including Client’s audience size, promotional effort, brand recognition, event topic, timing, market interest, email deliverability, and panelist participation.

  • The number of live attendees;
  • Audience demographics;
  • Audience engagement;

  • Comply with all applicable laws and platform requirements.

The project timeline does not begin until Company has received:

  • The signed Agreement;
  • Full payment;
  • The completed intake questionnaire; and
  • All materials reasonably necessary to begin the engagement.

If Client fails to meet the intake deadline, Company may:

  • Reduce or modify deliverables affected by the delay;
  • Charge an additional rescheduling or reactivation fee; or
  • Terminate the engagement without refund if the delay materially prevents performance.

10Event Scheduling and Lead Time

A minimum preparation period of four to six weeks is required before the event date unless Company agrees otherwise in writing.

An event date is not confirmed until Company provides written confirmation.

Client-requested dates are subject to:

  • Company availability;
  • Production-team availability;
  • Reasonable panelist recruitment time;
  • Completion of Client’s intake requirements; and
  • Receipt of all necessary materials and approvals.

Company may decline or modify a requested date when the available preparation period is insufficient to deliver the event professionally.

11Client Delays and Failure to Cooperate

Company’s ability to perform depends on Client’s timely participation, decisions, materials, approvals, and attendance.

If Client causes or contributes to a delay, Company will not be responsible for resulting:

  • Schedule changes;
  • Missed promotional opportunities;
  • Reduced panelist availability;
  • Reduced registration or attendance;
  • Delayed or modified deliverables;
  • Additional production costs;
  • Event postponement; or
  • Inability to complete all services within the engagement period.

Company may treat materials as approved if Client does not respond by a clearly communicated approval deadline, provided Company has made a reasonable attempt to obtain approval.

Any additional work caused by Client delay, changed instructions, incomplete information, or previously approved revisions may be charged separately.

12Revisions and Changes in Scope

The package includes only the services and revision rounds identified in this Agreement or the Event Specifications.

A revision means a reasonable modification to an existing deliverable. A revision does not include:

  • Replacing previously approved content;
  • Changing the event date after work has begun;
  • Changing the primary offer or call to action;

Company may remove, mute, replace, or decline to feature any panelist whose behavior, content, offer, technical condition, or participation may interfere with the event.

14Event Content and Complimentary Offers

The event is intended to provide meaningful expertise, practical value, and authority-building exposure.

Client agrees that the event will not be operated primarily as a high-pressure sales presentation.

Company may establish reasonable requirements concerning:

  • Presentation length;
  • Panelist speaking time;
  • Complimentary-resource placement;
  • Chat links;
  • Calls to action;
  • Offer language;
  • Promotional claims; and
  • Audience communications.

Each panelist may be permitted to offer one approved complimentary resource. Any secondary resource must be accessed through a link contained within the primary complimentary resource unless Company approves otherwise in writing.

Company may reject any offer, claim, link, presentation, or promotional statement that Company reasonably believes is misleading, unlawful, inappropriate, overly sales-focused, inconsistent with the event, or harmful to the event or Company’s reputation.

Company will control the official recording of the event.

Client may not authorize or permit any panelist, audience member, contractor, assistant, note-taker, artificial-intelligence service, or other third party to independently:

Client will reasonably assist Company in communicating and enforcing these restrictions.

16Client Recording and Content License

  • Promoting Company’s services;
  • Creating Company’s portfolio;
  • Creating reasonable social media and marketing content;

  • Adequate preparation time;

If Client does not select and complete a rescheduled event within the approved period, Company may close the project without refund.

24Cancellation or Rescheduling by Company

Company may reschedule the event when reasonably necessary because of illness, emergency, platform failure, insufficient panelist availability, force majeure, or another circumstance that materially affects event quality or production.

Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to offer a replacement date.

If Company permanently cancels the engagement without cause and cannot provide a reasonable replacement date, Company’s maximum obligation will be to refund the portion of fees attributable to services not yet performed.

Company is not required to refund amounts attributable to planning, strategy, recruitment, administration, design, platform configuration, content creation, or other services already performed.

Company may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if Client:

  • Fails to make a required payment;
  • Fails to provide required information or cooperation;
  • Materially breaches this Agreement;
  • Engages in prohibited conduct;
  • Makes unlawful or misleading representations;
  • Infringes intellectual-property or privacy rights;

  • Remains unresponsive for 14 consecutive calendar days.

Termination does not eliminate Client’s responsibility for amounts already paid or owed.

Client may terminate participation by written notice, but all payments remain nonrefundable and any unpaid amount under an approved payment arrangement becomes immediately due.

Sections concerning payment, intellectual property, recording rights, confidentiality, indemnification, liability, dispute resolution, and all provisions that should reasonably survive will remain effective after termination.
