Expectations
Drinking: Invited Entertainers should hold themselves to higher standard than regular congoers and conduct themselves with professionalism at all times, not appearing at events and activities drunk or impaired.
Green Room / Industry Lounge: Invited Entertainers are not "Guests" and should not call themselves a "Guest" of the convention. Invited Entertainers do not receive access to any "Guest Green Room" or area privately designated for our Guests. However, if the convention features an "Industry Lounge", invited entertainers are welcome to visit the "Industry Lounge".

Liability: You agree to our standard convention rules and responsibilities, and you agree to hold harmless and indemnify the convention and its staff and organizers against any loss related to your participation in the event.
Reimbursement: No reimbursement for any expense is payable unless it has been agreed upon in writing, either via a contract or via an email.
Cancellation: Either party may cancel at their convenience with no penalty to the other, except the event may withhold future invitations in the event of cancellation by the performer, at the event's sole discretion.
