Frontier Events Terms of Service

Anyone planning to attend a Frontier Event must be registered through Obvious's application or registration process. Sharing your registration with another person is a violation of these Terms. You agree that you are at least 18 years of age or the age of majority on the first day of the Event.

Frontier Events are selective working sessions designed for engineering leaders and their teams. Obvious reserves the right to accept or decline applications at its sole discretion. Identification is required while attending the Event. Obvious reserves the right to verify the identity of any attendee. Any person unable to prove registration or identification may be refused entry to, or removed from, the Event.

Each attendee must register individually. Team registrations must list each attending member by name. Unregistered persons, including colleagues who did not apply or were not accepted, will not be admitted.

[Refund and cancellation terms will be specified on each Event's registration page. Until a formal pricing and refund structure is published, the following applies:]

If your application is accepted and you are unable to attend, you may request to transfer your registration to another qualified member of your organization by notifying Obvious at frontier@obvious.ai no later than [7] days before the Event start date. Transfer requests are subject to Obvious's approval and the substitute attendee's eligibility.

If Obvious cancels an Event, registered attendees will receive an automatic acceptance towards a future Event in the same location.

To facilitate the Event, we may share attendee names, email addresses, and company affiliations with venue operators, security personnel, hotel partners, catering providers, and other Event partners. We may also share attendee information with local government bodies where required by law or venue policy.

Dietary restrictions, accessibility needs, and other operational details collected during registration are used solely for Event logistics and are not shared beyond what is operationally necessary.

All materials and services provided as part of the Event are provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. The Event may include advice, opinions, and statements from various speakers, presenters, instructors, or content providers. Obvious does not represent or endorse the accuracy or reliability of any advice, opinion, statement, or other information provided by any presenter or attendee. Reliance upon any such opinion, advice, statement, or other information is at your own risk.

Frontier Events are working sessions where attendees connect Obvious to their own codebases, repositories, and development environments. You are solely responsible for the code, data, and systems you bring to or access during the Event.

You represent that you have the authority to connect Obvious to your organization's codebase and infrastructure, and that doing so does not violate any agreement, policy, or obligation binding on you or your organization. Obvious is not responsible for any changes made to your codebase during the Event — you and your team retain full control over what is merged, deployed, or shipped.

Obvious will not access, copy, or retain your source code, secrets, or proprietary data beyond what is necessary to provide the Event experience. Your code and data remain your property at all times. Obvious's handling of any data processed during the Event is governed by our Privacy Policy and any applicable agreement between your organization and Obvious, including the Obvious Terms of Service.

During a Frontier Event, attendees may be exposed to information shared by other participating teams, including but not limited to roadmaps, architecture decisions, code samples, and business priorities. You agree to treat any non-public information shared by other attendees or by Obvious during the Event as confidential, and you will not disclose, use, or exploit such information outside the Event without the express permission of the party that shared it.

This confidentiality obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or rightfully received from a third party without obligation of confidentiality.

There may be photographers and videographers throughout the Event to capture the experience in photograph and film. You agree that Obvious and its authorized third parties may film or photograph any or all of the Event and may use or share photographs and videos of attendees publicly, including on social media channels such as YouTube, LinkedIn, X, and other platforms. By attending or accessing the Event, you give Obvious and its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, and other persons acting on Obvious's behalf the right and permission to copyright and print, publish, broadcast, reproduce, distribute, or otherwise use your name, voice, face, appearance, biographical information, and/or likeness, including in Obvious's advertising, promotion, and marketing materials.

You agree that any materials created using your name, voice, face, appearance, biographical information, and/or likeness shall constitute our sole property. You will have no right of inspection or approval, no claim to additional compensation, and no claim (including, without limitation, claims based on invasion of privacy, defamation, or right of publicity) arising out of or relating to any use, blurring, distortion, or use in composite form of this material. You also agree that Obvious has no obligation to use your name, voice, face, appearance, biographical information, and/or likeness.

You are prohibited from selling any photographs or film that you take from the Event unless you receive Obvious's prior express written consent.

Obvious is committed to being a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment that reflects our values and fosters a cohesive community. All attendees are expected to treat each other, Obvious staff, venue staff, and all other participants with respect and professionalism.

Obvious's Code of Conduct is available at obvious.ai/events-code-of-conduct. You agree to follow the Code of Conduct and that any violation may result in your access to the Event being terminated immediately, without refund.

Harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated. Obvious reserves the right to remove any attendee whose conduct, in Obvious's sole judgment, is inappropriate or harmful to the Event or its participants.

Frontier Events are designed to help teams ship meaningful work and learn a new methodology. Obvious promotes no guaranteed result. The outcomes you achieve depend on factors including your codebase, your team's preparation, your engagement during the Event, and conditions outside Obvious's control. Obvious makes no representation or warranty regarding the specific amount of work that will be completed, the quality of any code produced, or the long-term impact of participating in the Event.

The names, trademarks, service marks, and logos of Obvious and its affiliates that appear at or in connection with an Event may not be used in any advertising or publicity, or otherwise to indicate our sponsorship or endorsement of or affiliation with any product or service, without our prior express written permission.

Obvious will not be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under these Terms on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms and the applicable Event registration as a result of any cause or condition beyond its reasonable control.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless (and to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, you hereby expressly release and discharge) (i) Obvious, its owners, and affiliates; (ii) the Event facility and its owners, affiliates, lessors, and lessees; and (iii) Event service contractors and security services (all of the foregoing in clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, “Event Providers”), and each of their respective officers, directors, officials, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) from and against any and all alleged and/or actual claims, actions, lawsuits, proceedings, damages, penalties, demands, losses, expenses, fees (including reasonable attorney fees), costs, or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “Indemnifiable Claims”), including but not limited to any Indemnifiable Claim for property damage and/or personal injury, in connection with, caused by, or arising out of the attendance at and/or participation in the Event by (A) you, (B) your Representatives (or any other party acting on your behalf), or (C) any of your agents, invitees, patrons, or guests (all of the foregoing in clauses (B) and (C), collectively, “Related Parties”), whether as a result of (i) your or any Related Party's act, omission, negligence, or willful misconduct, (ii) your or any Related Party's violation of any policy of, or breach or alleged breach of any agreement with, Obvious or any other Event Provider, (iii) your or any Related Party's violation of any applicable law, regulation, rule, or ordinance, (iv) your or any Related Party's infringement of any third-party rights, including, without limitation, the infringement of any patented, trademarked, franchised, or copyrighted music, materials, devices, or dramatic rights used or incorporated in the Event by you or any Related Party, or (v) otherwise, and in each case, whether or not foreseeable. This provision shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.

You and we both agree to resolve disputes related to the Event or these Terms (each, a “Claim”) in binding arbitration instead of court, except that either party may bring suit in court to enjoin the infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Obvious reserves the right to terminate your access to the Event if Obvious determines, in its sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms or any of the documents expressly incorporated. If your access is terminated for violating these Terms or any of the expressly incorporated documents, you will not be entitled to any refund of any kind.

Obvious may modify these Terms at any time. You agree to review these Terms and incorporated documents periodically to ensure you are aware of any changes we make. By attending or accessing the Event, you agree to any modifications Obvious may make. If the modified Terms or documents are not acceptable to you, you should not attend or access the Event.

If any of the provisions of these Terms are held to be unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. The delay or omission by either party to enforce or exercise any terms or right pursuant to these Terms will not impair any such terms or right nor be construed as a waiver thereof and will in no way affect the other party's right later to enforce it.

Questions about these Terms can be directed to compliance@obvious.ai or Obvious, Inc., 8735 Dunwoody Place #5007, Atlanta, GA 30350, USA.
