Tournament Registration Purchase Agreement

You have chosen to purchase a registration to participate in the Chess Tournament (the “Tournament”) organized by the Vermont Scholastic Chess Inc pursuant to this Tournament Registration Agreement (the “Agreement”). You have purchased admission as or on behalf of a participant in the Tournament. The price and benefits of that participation are set forth on the registration page. If registering on behalf of a minor, you represent that you are the parent or legal guardian of the participant and agree to these terms on their behalf.

Please note that local and state governments, as well as venue(s), may have various health and safety protocols and/or requirements (“protocols”) that attendees must follow. Failing to follow such protocols does not entitle you to a refund. You are responsible for understanding all such protocols. Vermont Scholastic Chess Inc has no part in creating these protocols.

Full payment is due upon completion of registration and must be received to reserve your admission to the Tournament. You agree that this order is non-transferable and shall not be resold. You further agree that your registration is non-refundable, excepting a complete cancellation of the tournament.
