Sponsorship Terms

These terms serve as an addendum to our general terms of service.

For the remainder of these terms, "you/your" and "sponsor" refer to customers who have purchased the Convention Sponsorship product from protospiel.online and "us/we/our" refer to the acting organizer team for Protospiel Online.

By purchasing a Convention Sponsorship you agree to the following:

If you need to update your company name, logo, description, or links for a convention session you're sponsoring, contact us to request the changes. As long as this request comes in before the sponsorship deadline for the event in question (10 pm U.S. Eastern the Wednesday night before the convention weekend) we'll work with you to make the needed updates.

If you request changes after the sponsorship deadline, we cannot make updates for the active convention session. If you have an active 2 event duration sponsorship, you can request the changes when we prompt you to confirm or update your brand details shortly before badges go on sale for the second event your sponsorship package covers.

We sometimes collaborate with sponsors on projects in which both the sponsor and Protospiel Online put in labor and/or financial support to deliver an experience for our attendees. We call these sponsors Partner Sponsors and include a large callout about the experience we've built together at the top of our sponsors page.

Partner Sponsors receive a Convention Sponsorship package as a benefit of the partnership. As long as the partnership is active, we keep Partner Sponsors' logos at the top of sponsor listings wherever we place them around our web properties.

If you would like to discuss a possible collaboration as a Partner Sponsor, contact us to start the conversation.

We seek to work with sponsors who uphold our core values of inclusivity, transparency, and collaboration in the tabletop games industry.

We will review Convention Sponsorship purchases before placing the sponsor's information on our web properties. In the event that we don't feel a sponsor is a fit for our community, we will decline to list the sponsor and issue a full refund.

If it comes to our attention that a sponsor we've placed on our web properties has taken actions that conflict with our core values, we will privately request a meeting with the sponsor to review and possibly mediate the situation. If we cannot find a resolution that's acceptable to both the sponsor and Protospiel Online, we reserve the right to cancel your sponsorship without refund and remove your information from our web properties going forward.

If, after we've placed your brand information on our web properties, you learn Protospiel Online has taken actions that conflict with your brand values, privately request a meeting with us to review the situation. If we cannot find a resolution that's acceptable to both the sponsor and Protospiel Online, we will issue you a pro-rated refund and remove your brand information from our web properties going forward.
