GOVIT SPONSORSHIP TERMS & CONDITIONS
PAYMENT
Payment is due within 30 days of invoice, based on the date the agreement is sent by Fusion Learning Partners or registration is completed, whichever is earlier.
Payments not received within 60 days of the invoice date will incur a one-time 1.5% late fee.
Credit card payments may include a disclosed processing surcharge as permitted by applicable law and card-network rules. Check and ACH payments have no additional processing fee.
No Sponsorship benefits will be fulfilled until full payment is received. Payments not received prior to October 15, 2026, may result in delay of GOVIT benefits and exhibit placement until 2027.
CANCELLATION
Once a Sponsorship has been paid for, cancellation will result in forfeiture of payments as follows:
50% of the total cost of the Sponsorship if cancellation occurs within one month of agreement or October 15, 2026, whichever comes first, provided no benefits have yet been fulfilled.
100% of the total cost of the Sponsorship if cancellation occurs on or after October 15, 2026, more than one month after the agreement date, or fulfillment of the first benefit, whichever comes first.
Cancellation also results in forfeiture of any complimentary conference passes, add-ons, and other benefits associated with the Sponsorship.
All cancellation requests must be emailed to [
[email protected]](mailto:
[email protected]).
If weather or other circumstances beyond our control require GOVIT to be postponed or canceled, Sponsorship benefits will be applied to a rescheduled event where appropriate. If the event cannot be rescheduled, PTI may shift benefits to comparable opportunities.
SPONSOR RESPONSIBILITIES
Sponsor is responsible for providing required logos, materials, attendee information, approvals, session information, swag, and other requested items by established deadlines. PTI/Fusion Learning Partners is not responsible for missed or reduced benefits resulting from late or incomplete Sponsor submissions. Unused benefits are not refundable.
All Sponsorship opportunities are subject to availability and applicable event, venue, production, and programming requirements.
NO GUARANTEED RESULTS
Sponsorship provides opportunities for visibility, engagement, networking, and education. PTI/Fusion Learning Partners does not guarantee attendance, leads, views, engagement, sales, revenue, or any particular return on investment.
SPEAKING AND CONTENT
Sponsored presentations must provide educational value and may not include sales pitches, product demonstrations, or advertisements. PTI may review topics, speakers, descriptions, slides, and other content and may require reasonable changes to ensure alignment with GOVIT program standards.
SPONSOR MATERIALS
Sponsor confirms that it has the necessary rights to any logos, images, presentations, promotional materials, or other content it provides and grants PTI/Fusion Learning Partners permission to use those materials as reasonably necessary to fulfill and promote the Sponsorship.
Sponsor may identify itself as a GOVIT Sponsor but may not use PTI, GOVIT, or Fusion Learning Partners names or marks in a way that implies endorsement.
STAFF
During events, Sponsor representatives must wear their event name badge and lanyard at all times while at the conference facility. Only staff included in sponsorship benefits are allowed to register and attend the events under the complimentary Sponsor benefit. Additional staff may register in accordance with specific event registration terms, conditions, availability, and pricing.
PRIVACY AND ATTENDEE INFORMATION
Attendee information is provided only when expressly included as a Sponsorship benefit and only to the extent attendees have authorized its disclosure. Sponsor may use any provided information only for its own lawful business communications and may not sell or transfer it to another organization.
LIABILITY AND PROPERTY
Sponsor is responsible for its representatives, materials, and property. PTI, Fusion Learning Partners, and the event venue are not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to Sponsor property except as required by law. Sponsor agrees to comply with applicable event and venue requirements.
CONDUCT AND TERMINATION
PTI may suspend or terminate Sponsorship benefits for nonpayment, material violation of these terms, misuse of attendee information or intellectual property, violation of event or venue requirements, unlawful or unsafe conduct, or material disruption of the event. Fees are not refundable when Sponsorship is terminated because of Sponsor breach.
GOVERNING LAW
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota.
