6.6 Repeated late cancellations, repeated failure to attend scheduled sessions, or persistent failure to participate in the program may constitute a material breach of the agreement.

6.9 Red Dot Stage generally aims to respond within 1-2 business days, Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays and periods of notified absence.
6.10 Red Dot Stage may observe public holidays and take reasonable periods of planned absence or vacation during the course of an engagement. Where reasonably practicable, Client will be notified in advance of planned absences that materially affect scheduled sessions or service delivery.

7.3 Subject to the exceptions in Section 7.2, services or sessions not used within the applicable period expire without refund or credit unless otherwise agreed in writing.

8.5 Client is responsible for confirming the accuracy of personal stories, factual claims, quotations, research, references, names, dates, statistics, and other substantive information ultimately presented by Client.
9. APPLICATION CONCIERGE SERVICES
9.1 Where Client purchases the Application Concierge Service, Red Dot Stage provides strategic support to identify and pursue suitable TEDx speaking opportunities on Client's behalf.
9.2 Under the Application Concierge Service, Red Dot Stage will identify suitable TEDx events and pursue applications to up to sixty (60) TEDx events on Client's behalf, or until Client secures a TEDx speaking opportunity through the application process, whichever occurs first.
9.3 Once Client has been accepted as a speaker by a TEDx event, Red Dot Stage's obligation to research and submit further applications under the Application Concierge Service ends. Red Dot Stage is not required to continue applying to additional events in order to reach sixty applications after Client has secured a TEDx speaking opportunity.
9.4 Depending on the specific program purchased by Client, the Application Concierge Service may include:
strategic positioning;
research and identification of suitable TEDx events;
application strategy;
development, writing, and/or editing of application materials;
submission of applications on Client's behalf, where permitted by the relevant application process;
application tracking; and
related application support included in Client's purchased program.
9.5 Red Dot Stage will use its professional judgment in identifying suitable opportunities based on factors including Client's idea, expertise, positioning, location, event theme, eligibility requirements, application criteria, deadlines, and other relevant considerations. Red Dot Stage is not required to submit applications to events that it reasonably considers unsuitable, irrelevant, closed, unavailable, or inconsistent with Client's positioning.
9.6 In the unlikely event that Client has not secured a TEDx speaking opportunity after sixty (60) applications have been submitted, the initial Application Concierge Service will be considered complete. Client will then have the option to purchase an extension covering up to thirty (30) additional TEDx applications at a reduced rate. If purchased, the extension continues until Client secures a TEDx speaking opportunity or Red Dot Stage has submitted thirty (30) additional applications, whichever occurs first.
9.7 The reduced rate applicable to the additional thirty-application extension will be the rate offered by Red Dot Stage for that extension at the time the initial Application Concierge Service is completed, unless a specific extension price has been agreed with Client in writing in advance.
9.8 The additional application extension is optional and is not included in the original Application Concierge Service fee.
9.9 Client agrees to provide all information, materials, approvals, and cooperation reasonably required for applications to be prepared and submitted in a timely manner. Red Dot Stage is not responsible for missed opportunities or delays resulting from Client's delays, incomplete information, or failure to provide required approvals or materials.
9.10 TEDx events are independently organized and controlled by third parties. Neither Elena Herdieckerhoff nor Red Dot Stage has authority over organizer selection decisions, application requirements, deadlines, event policies, interview processes, speaker selection, event cancellation, or other organizer decisions.
9.11 Red Dot Stage does not guarantee that Client will be selected, interviewed, invited, or accepted as a speaker by any particular TEDx event, or that the Application Concierge Service will result in a TEDx speaking engagement.
9.12 Client is responsible for ensuring that information provided to Red Dot Stage for use in applications is truthful and accurate.
10. FEES AND PAYMENT

10.2 Payment may be made in full or through an installment plan where expressly offered.
10.3 Where Client chooses an installment plan, Client is entering into an obligation to pay the full agreed program fee.

19.1 Red Dot Stage does not guarantee that Client will obtain a TEDx speaking opportunity or any other speaking engagement.

20. OPTIONAL YOUTUBE PROMOTION SERVICES
20.1 Client may separately purchase a promotional package for Client's published talk or video.
20.2 Promotional services are separate from Red Dot Stage's coaching, speech development, speechwriting, and Application Concierge services unless expressly included in Client's purchased package.

likes;
comments;
shares;

other engagement or commercial results.

21.11 The guaranteed promotional view count and delivery timeframe under this Section are express exceptions to the general no-results-guarantee provisions contained elsewhere in these Terms.
22. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS
22.1 Certain services may be delivered wholly or partly with the assistance of independent third-party providers, agencies, or specialist partners.

25.3 Subject to Sections 25.1 and 25.2, Elena Herdieckerhoff shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of opportunity, loss of anticipated profits, loss of business, reputational harm, or losses arising from decisions of TED, TEDx organizers, YouTube, event organizers, media outlets, or other independent third parties, to the extent such liability may lawfully be excluded.
25.4 The limitations contained in this Section do not eliminate or reduce the specific guaranteed public YouTube view count and delivery timeframe expressly provided under Section 21.
25.5 Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.
26. FORCE MAJEURE
26.1 Neither party will be liable for delay or failure to perform obligations caused by circumstances beyond that party's reasonable control, including serious illness or incapacity, bereavement, serious family emergencies, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, widespread technology outages, or comparable events.

27.1 Either party may terminate the agreement for material breach where the other party fails to remedy a remediable material breach within a reasonable period after written notice.
27.2 Red Dot Stage may suspend performance while material overdue payments remain outstanding.
27.3 Termination does not affect rights or payment obligations accrued before termination.
27.4 Provisions concerning intellectual property, confidentiality, outstanding payment obligations, disclaimers, and liability survive termination to the extent required by their nature.
27.5 If Client validly terminates the agreement as a result of an uncured material breach by Red Dot Stage, Client will not be responsible for payment for services that will not be performed.
