Refund Policy

We aim to set up sponsorship placements within 1-3 business days of recieving the requested brand information from a sponsor. If we have not placed your logo or other brand information in any of the locations where we highlight sponsor information and you have not redeemed or distributed any of the badge vouchers included in your sponsorship package, you can request a full refund for your Convention Sponsorship up to 7 days after your purchase.

We cannot give refunds for any Convention Sponsorship purchases if we've added the sponsor brand information to any location where we feature our sponsors, any of the badge vouchers included in the sponsorship package have been distributed or redeemed, or the refund deadline has passed.

If you need a refund on your Convention Sponsorship, use the contact form on this website to make your request.

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 after your initial sponsor info form submission 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 (Monday, May 12, 2025 @ 10pm U.S. Eastern for the May 2025 session) 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 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.
