Effective Date: April 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Maverick Events platform ("Service"), operated by DAP Brands ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the Company. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

By creating an account, registering for an event, downloading the mobile application, or otherwise using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

2. Description of Service

Maverick Events is a multi-platform event management system designed for professional conferences and events. The Service is accessible through the following platforms:

  • Web Application at taxmaverickevents.com — attendee-facing event discovery, registration, schedule viewing, speaker information, and networking
  • Mobile Application for iOS and Android — event schedules, digital badges, QR code scanning, push notifications, session bookmarks, and networking
  • Admin Dashboard — event organizer tools for managing events, sessions, speakers, sponsors, attendees, and communications
  • Sponsor Portal — tools for event sponsors to manage their presence, scan attendee badges for lead capture, and access analytics

The Service provides event registration, digital badge generation, QR code-based check-in, session scheduling, speaker directories, attendee networking, sponsor engagement, push notifications, real-time activity feeds, and related event management features.

3. User Accounts

Access to certain features of the Service requires creating an account. Authentication is provided through our identity provider, Clerk. You may sign in using your Google or Apple account.

  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials.
  • You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.
  • You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your information updated.
  • You must not create accounts for the purpose of impersonating another person or entity.
  • You must not share your account or transfer it to another person without our prior written consent.
  • You must promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your account.

We reserve the right to disable or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that have been inactive for an extended period.

4. Event Registration

When you register for an event through the Service, you will receive a unique digital badge containing a QR code ("Badge Code"). Your Badge Code is personal, non-transferable, and serves as your credential for event access.

  • Your Badge Code is used for event check-in, session attendance tracking, and networking.
  • You must not share, duplicate, or transfer your Badge Code to any other individual.
  • Fraudulent use of Badge Codes may result in immediate removal from the event and account termination.
  • Event registration may require selection of ticket type, dietary preferences, and accessibility needs.
  • Registration information is subject to the event organizer's policies in addition to these Terms.

5. Mobile Application Terms

The following terms apply specifically to the Maverick Events mobile application for iOS and Android:

Camera Access

The mobile app requests access to your device camera solely for the purpose of scanning QR codes. This includes scanning attendee badges for networking, scanning check-in codes at event entry, and scanning sponsor booth codes. The app does not capture, store, or transmit photographs or video. Camera access can be revoked at any time through your device settings.

Calendar Access

With your permission, the app may add event sessions to your device calendar as reminders. This helps you stay on schedule during events. Calendar access is optional and can be granted or revoked through your device settings at any time.

Push Notifications

The app uses OneSignal to deliver push notifications including event schedule updates, session reminders, networking alerts, and announcements from event organizers. You may opt out of push notifications at any time through your device settings or the app's notification preferences.

Offline Data Caching

The app caches event schedules, speaker information, and other event data locally on your device to provide access when an internet connection is unavailable. This cached data is stored only on your device and is cleared when you sign out or uninstall the app.

App Store Terms

Your use of the mobile app is also subject to the terms of service of the applicable app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store). In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the applicable app store terms, the more restrictive terms shall apply.

6. Badge Scanning and Networking Consent

During events, your digital badge QR code may be scanned by other attendees for professional networking purposes and by sponsors for lead capture. By attending an event and using your Badge Code, you acknowledge and consent to the following:

  • When another attendee scans your badge, a mutual connection is established and both parties may view each other's public profile information.
  • Information shared through badge scanning may include your name, company, job title, email address, and any other information you have made public in your profile.
  • You may control what information is visible by adjusting your profile visibility settings (public or private).
  • Connections created through badge scanning may include the exchange of digital contact information (vCard).

7. Sponsor Lead Capture

Event sponsors may scan attendee badges at their booths, sponsored sessions, or designated event areas. By attending a sponsored session, visiting a sponsor booth, or allowing your badge to be scanned by a sponsor representative:

  • You consent to sharing your registration information (name, email, company, job title) with that sponsor.
  • Sponsors may use this information to follow up with you regarding their products and services.
