Please take a moment to read our rules and policies. By registering, you agree to comply with Otakuthon At Home rules and policies. Failure to follow these rules might result in banning your account from the online venue without a refund.
Registrations are non-refundable and may not be resold - this includes your account as well as any paid extras (ex: mailed badges, T-shirts).
Registrations must be paid in full to access the event. Only participants living in Canada or the US who register prior to July 31, 2021, will be mailed a badge and commemorative postcard. Please do not send cash through the mail - we are only accepting credit payments through PayPal.
You must be at least 16 years old to register, on August 20, 2021. When you register, you will be provided with a login to access the online venue.
Login accounts are associated with an individual and may not be shared or resold. The platform uses mechanisms to detect duplicate logins and will automatically deactivate accounts found to be in violation of this policy. Attempts to circumvent this technology will result in the account being disabled without a refund.
Attendees must provide complete and accurate registration information. Otakuthon At Home will not be held responsible in the event that an attendee cannot be contacted or confirm their identity with the provided information.
If you aren’t allowed to do it outside of Otakuthon, it isn’t allowed at Otakuthon.
Otakuthon strives to create an environment that caters to the anime/cosplay/gaming community culture but would like to remind attendees that they are still expected to be law-abiding and responsible. Attendees who violate these rules might be subject to expulsion from Otakuthon without a refund and might be banned from attending all Otakuthon events in subsequent years.
All attendees must conduct themselves with proper decorum.
Attendees must behave respectfully towards individuals from other groups attending events being held by the online venue as well as Otakuthon staff and representatives. Attendees acting disrespectfully or disruptively on the online venue may be expelled from the Otakuthon event. Violence against staff or attendees will not be tolerated and will result in an immediate expulsion and potentially a permanent ban from all Otakuthon run events.
Any behaviour considered to be harassment such as bullying, unwanted advances or other similar behaviours will not be tolerated and may result in permanent expulsion from the online venue without refund.
Any activities deemed to be nuisances to Otakuthon or the online venue, including but not limited to denial of service attacks, social engineering, misrepresentation or behaviour considered generally disruptive, dangerous, or damaging, will result in expulsion from the event by the security moderators and might result in further civil and criminal liability.
Attendees can interact with each other online.
Due to the online nature of this event, vendors will offer products for sale and will be available by chat. All sales will be completed via the vendors' website. Attendees may use the platform to express their desire to purchase items or ask questions from vendors.
By using such service, the attendee agrees that Otakuthon will not be held responsible for any transaction happening between the purchaser and the vendor.
It is understood that except for registration and Otakuthon merchandise, no purchases or sales are being made directly on the platform. All transactions taking place are considered private sales between the attendee and vendor, and are solely the responsibility of the vendor or other third party. Otakuthon and its agents will not be held responsible for any loss or damages that might arise from such transactions.
The following guidelines must still be observed when offering products for sale:
All sellers must obey the policies as outlined in their respective Otakuthon exhibitor kit.
Tip: Always ask for permission before photographing, screen capping or recording anyone.
While Otakuthon at Home is a virtual event, it targets a PG audience and is an alcohol, drug and smoking-free event. For this reason, these actvities must be avoided while on camera.
By attending our events, you grant Otakuthon permission to publish, electronically or in print, your name and photograph, as well as any names and logos of your company, group or other organization (e.g. cosplay circle, team, club, etc.) for the purpose of promotion, documentation and/or record-keeping. Any additional information gathered will only be disclosed for legal compliance, to third parties contracted to act on Otakuthon’s behalf, or anonymized in aggregate.
The liability to any attendee by Otakuthon for any damage or loss suffered at or caused by Otakuthon, its staff or assigns, shall not exceed the registration fees paid by that attendee.
Each attendee agrees to indemnify, hold and save harmless Otakuthon and its staff or assigns against any damages or losses suffered by third persons for which the attendee is responsible to any extent. In the event of litigation, all parties agree that the only judicial district applicable is the judicial district of Montreal, Quebec in Canada.
