SEMINAR AND TRAINING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
By registering for, paying for, or attending a seminar, training class, course, workshop, or related educational program offered by Badger State Consulting LLC (“BSC”), whether conducted in person or virtually (collectively, the “Seminar”), the registrant and attendee agree to the following Terms and Conditions.
1. Registration
The Seminar is intended for construction-industry professionals and other individuals approved by BSC.
Completion of the registration form does not, by itself, guarantee participation. Registration is considered complete only after:
BSC reserves the right to cancel an unpaid or incomplete registration and make the seat available to another attendee.
A confirmation email will be sent to the email address provided during registration. The confirmation may include the Seminar title, date, time, location or virtual-access information, payment status, and additional instructions.
Registrants are responsible for providing accurate contact, licensing, and credential information.
2. Payment Options and Processing Fees
Registration fees must be paid in full unless BSC approves another payment arrangement in writing.
Online credit-card and debit-card payments may be subject to a separately disclosed processing or convenience fee. Any applicable fee will be displayed before payment is submitted.
Registrants selecting payment by check must follow the payment instructions provided during registration or in the confirmation email. The registration may be identified as pending until the check is received and processed.
Checks shall be made payable to the business or entity identified in the payment instructions.
BSC may cancel a check-pending registration if payment is not received by the stated due date or before the Seminar reaches capacity.
Any returned check, rejected electronic payment, disputed charge, or unpaid balance may result in cancellation of the registration and withholding of attendance records, completion documentation, or continuing-education credit.
3. Cancellation by the Registrant
Registration fees are non-refundable except when a refund is expressly required under these Terms and Conditions or applicable law.
A registrant who is unable to attend may transfer the registration to another qualified individual by providing BSC with written notice at least ten business days before the Seminar.
The replacement attendee must provide all required registration and credential information before attending.
At BSC’s discretion, a registrant who provides timely written notice may be permitted to apply the registration fee as a credit toward another eligible BSC Seminar. Any credit:
Failure to attend, late arrival, early departure, removal for misconduct, or failure to satisfy course-completion requirements does not qualify the registrant for a refund.
4. Cancellation, Rescheduling, or Modification by BSC
BSC reserves the right to cancel, postpone, relocate, reschedule, or modify a Seminar due to insufficient enrollment, instructor availability, severe weather, facility conditions, technical problems, government action, public-health concerns, or other circumstances affecting the safe or practical delivery of the Seminar.
If BSC cancels a Seminar and does not offer a replacement date, the registration fee paid to BSC will be refunded.
If BSC reschedules a Seminar, the registrant may:
BSC is not responsible for travel expenses, lodging, lost wages, lost productivity, or other incidental or consequential costs resulting from a cancellation, rescheduling, relocation, or modification.
Wisconsin law may impose refund requirements for certain canceled or rescheduled events. This provision is intended to be administered consistently with applicable law.
5. Minimum Enrollment and Class Capacity
BSC may establish minimum and maximum enrollment requirements for each Seminar.
BSC reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a Seminar that does not meet minimum enrollment.
Registrations may be closed when the Seminar reaches capacity, when the registration deadline expires, or when BSC determines that additional registrations cannot reasonably be accommodated.
BSC may maintain a waiting list but does not guarantee that a seat will become available.
6. Attendance and Continuing-Education Credit
Participants seeking continuing-education units, credits, certificates, or other completion documentation must satisfy all attendance and participation requirements established by BSC and any applicable approving or licensing authority.
Requirements may include:
Partial attendance may result in reduced credit or no credit.
BSC will not issue or verify continuing-education credit for an individual who did not personally attend or who failed to satisfy the applicable requirements.
Certificates, attendance records, and continuing-education documentation may be withheld until all fees have been paid and required information has been provided.
Participants are responsible for confirming that the Seminar satisfies the continuing-education requirements applicable to their individual license, credential, employer, or jurisdiction.
