LA DESIGN WEEK/END

TERMS OF USE AND EVENT PARTICIPATION TERMS | Effective August 18, 2026

These Terms govern your use of the LA Design Week/end website, registration pages, communications, and participation in LA Design Week/end events. LA Design Week/end ("LAD/W," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by Holland Like The Country LLC, doing business as LA Design Week/end.

By accessing our website, registering for or attending an event, purchasing a ticket, or otherwise participating in LAD/W, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website or participate in LAD/W.

1. LAD/W and third-party events

LAD/W is a decentralized design event. Programming may be produced by LAD/W, independent hosts, venues, sponsors, collaborators, or other third parties. A listing in an LAD/W schedule does not mean that LAD/W owns, operates, supervises, or controls the host, venue, program, products, services, or premises.

Individual events may have additional terms, waivers, capacity limits, accessibility conditions, security procedures, or age restrictions. If an event-specific rule conflicts with these Terms, the event-specific rule controls for that event.

2. Eligibility and minors

LAD/W is generally open to all ages unless an individual listing or venue states otherwise. A parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising minors and deciding whether an event is appropriate. Events involving alcohol, late-night programming, or age-restricted venues may require identification and may limit admission by age.

3. Registration, admission, and capacity

Registration does not guarantee admission, seating, participation, merchandise, food, beverages, or access at a particular time. Events may operate on a first-come, first-served basis and may reach capacity. We and participating hosts and venues may refuse or revoke admission when reasonably necessary for safety, capacity, legal compliance, or enforcement of these Terms.

You agree to provide accurate registration information and not to misrepresent your identity, eligibility, affiliation, or ticket status. You may not resell, duplicate, or misuse a registration or credential.

4. Fees, refunds, and changes

Most LAD/W events are free. Where a ticket, host fee, partnership fee, or other charge applies, the price and any event-specific conditions will be disclosed before purchase or agreement.

All fees are nonrefundable except where required by law or where LAD/W expressly agrees otherwise in writing. Processing fees charged by a third-party platform may be governed by that platform's terms.

Programs, participants, locations, hours, capacity, and other details may change. LAD/W may postpone, relocate, modify, suspend, or cancel programming because of weather, safety, venue needs, permitting, public health conditions, force majeure, or other circumstances. Unless required by law, LAD/W is not responsible for travel, lodging, transportation, production, or other costs incurred in connection with an event change or cancellation.

5. Conduct and safety

You must follow applicable laws and reasonable instructions from LAD/W, hosts, venue staff, security, and emergency personnel. You may not engage in harassment, discrimination, threats, violence, unsafe conduct, unlawful activity, unauthorized commercial solicitation, disruption, property damage, or conduct that interferes with another person's participation.

LAD/W and participating hosts or venues may remove anyone who violates these rules or presents a safety or operational concern. Removal does not create a right to a refund.

You are responsible for your own safety, belongings, transportation, and decisions while participating. Some events may involve crowds, alcohol, tools, demonstrations, installations, stairs, uneven surfaces, outdoor conditions, or other ordinary event risks. Please follow posted warnings and use reasonable care.

6. Photography and recording

LAD/W and its authorized photographers, videographers, hosts, sponsors, and media partners may photograph, film, or record events. By entering an area where recording is taking place, you understand that your image, voice, name, likeness, or participation may appear in editorial, archival, documentary, or promotional materials relating to LAD/W, without payment, to the extent permitted by law.

We will make reasonable efforts to respect a direct request not to be the focus of a photograph or recording, but we cannot guarantee exclusion from incidental crowd or background footage. Parents and guardians should consider this before bringing minors. Contact howdy@ladesignweekend.com with a specific concern.

7. Sponsors, activations, and third parties

Sponsors, partners, hosts, exhibitors, vendors, and other third parties may offer products, services, samples, promotions, links, or activations. Their offerings, statements, data practices, and conduct are their own. LAD/W is not responsible for third-party products, services, websites, transactions, or representations. Participation in a sponsor activation may be subject to separate terms and privacy notices.

8. Communications

If you sign up for LAD/W emails or otherwise consent to receive promotional communications, we may send event news, schedules, partner information, and related updates. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in the message. We may still send non-promotional communications reasonably necessary to administer a registration, transaction, safety notice, or event change.

9. Website and intellectual property

The LAD/W website and its original text, graphics, logos, branding, compilations, and other content are owned by LAD/W or used with permission and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view and share links for personal, editorial, or informational use. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, sell, exploit, or use LAD/W branding to suggest sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation without written permission.

Third-party names, marks, images, and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

10. Submitted content

If you submit event descriptions, images, logos, links, or other materials for publication, you represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to provide them. You grant LAD/W a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, edit for length or format, display, distribute, and promote the submitted materials in connection with LAD/W and its archives.

You remain responsible for submitted content. LAD/W may decline, edit, remove, or correct content that is inaccurate, unlawful, infringing, unsafe, misleading, outside program requirements, or otherwise unsuitable.

11. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website, schedules, information, and events are provided "as is" and "as available." LAD/W does not guarantee that information will always be complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any event, host, venue, product, or service will meet your expectations.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, duties, or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Holland Like The Country LLC, LAD/W, and their owners, personnel, contractors, volunteers, agents, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, business opportunities, or goodwill, arising from or related to the website, communications, events, third parties, or these Terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, their total aggregate liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid directly to LAD/W for the specific event or service giving rise to the claim or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars. These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or personal injury where applicable law prohibits limitation.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Holland Like The Country LLC, LAD/W, and their owners, personnel, contractors, volunteers, agents, and representatives from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful conduct, material breach of these Terms, infringement of another person's rights, or content you submit. This section does not require you to indemnify anyone for that party's own negligence or unlawful conduct.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and the parties consent to those courts' jurisdiction, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.

15. Changes and general terms

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version and changing the effective date. Changes apply prospectively. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms and any event-specific written terms are the entire agreement regarding their subject matter.

LA DESIGN WEEK/END

This Privacy Policy explains how Holland Like The Country LLC, doing business as LA Design Week/end ("LAD/W," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information through the LAD/W website, Luma registration pages, newsletters, applications and forms, transactions, communications, and events.

Third-party hosts, venues, sponsors, and platforms may collect information under their own privacy policies. This Policy describes LAD/W's practices and does not replace those separate notices.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

Identity and contact information, such as your name, email address, phone number, organization, job title, or social-media handle.
Registration and demographic information, such as events selected, RSVP status, age range, industry, professional interests, accessibility requests, and how you heard about LAD/W.
Application and participation information, including host, volunteer, partner, sponsor, press, contributor, or vendor submissions and related correspondence.
Transaction information, such as the amount, date, type, and status of a payment. Payment-card and bank information is generally collected and processed by payment providers, not stored directly by LAD/W.
Communications and content you send us, including inquiries, feedback, event descriptions, images, video, logos, links, and other submitted materials.
Event media, including photographs, video, audio, and related information captured at LAD/W programming.

Information collected automatically

When you use our website, emails, or registration pages, we and our service providers may automatically collect device and usage information, including IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location derived from IP address, date and time, interactions, cookie identifiers, and email engagement data.

Information from other sources

We may receive information from event hosts, venues, referral partners, sponsors, publicly available sources, social platforms, and vendors that help operate LAD/W. If you register through Luma or another platform, the platform may provide LAD/W with registration details and analytics in accordance with your settings and its terms.

2. How we use information

Operate, administer, and improve LAD/W, the website, registrations, schedules, applications, and events.
Confirm registrations, process transactions, manage capacity, communicate changes, and provide support.
Review host, partner, sponsor, volunteer, vendor, press, and other applications.
Understand our audience, measure attendance and engagement, prepare aggregated reports, and improve future programming.
Send newsletters and promotional communications where permitted, and honor unsubscribe requests.
Create and publish editorial, archival, documentary, and promotional coverage of LAD/W.
Protect safety, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our terms, maintain records, and comply with legal obligations.
Carry out other purposes disclosed when information is collected or with your consent.

3. How we disclose information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients for the purposes described above:

Service providers that support registration, website hosting, email, forms, analytics, payments, file storage, customer support, security, and event operations, including Luma and comparable providers.
Hosts, venues, production teams, and event partners when reasonably necessary to administer an event, manage capacity, address safety or accessibility, or deliver a requested experience.
Sponsors or activation partners when you choose to participate in a sponsor's offering, direct us to share information, or receive clear notice at the point of collection. We do not provide attendee contact lists to sponsors merely because they sponsor LAD/W.
Professional advisers, insurers, accountants, and legal counsel where reasonably necessary.
Government authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, users, or the public.
A successor or transaction participant in connection with a merger, financing, restructuring, sale, or transfer of all or part of the organization, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We may publish information you intentionally submit for public listings, including a host or organization name, event description, venue address, schedule, website, social link, images, and contact details designated for publication.

4. Sale, sharing, and targeted advertising

LAD/W does not sell personal information for money. LAD/W also does not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide any notices and choices required by applicable law.

5. Cookies and analytics

Our website and service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to keep services working, remember preferences, understand traffic and engagement, and measure communications. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, although some features may not work properly.

Some browsers offer Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signals. Where legally required and technically supported, we honor applicable opt-out preference signals. Because there is not a uniform industry response to all Do Not Track signals, we otherwise respond as described in this Policy and in the settings made available by our service providers.

6. Marketing communications

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us. We may continue to send transactional or operational messages, such as registration confirmations, payment records, schedule changes, and safety notices.

7. Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including event administration, relationship management, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, safety, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. Retention periods vary based on the type of information, our relationship with you, and applicable requirements. We may retain deidentified or aggregated information where it can no longer reasonably identify you.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your choices and privacy rights

You may ask us to update or correct your contact information, unsubscribe from marketing, or request information about our handling of your personal information by emailing howdy@ladesignweekend.com.

Depending on where you live and whether an applicable privacy law covers LAD/W, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information; obtain a portable copy; limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling; or appeal a decision. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity and authority before completing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may ask for proof of authorization and identity. Certain information may be exempt from a request, including information we must retain for legal, security, transactional, or recordkeeping purposes.

10. Children

LAD/W events may be open to children, but our website and registration services are directed to a general audience and are not designed to collect personal information directly from children under 13. A parent or guardian should register a child where registration is required. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information directly to us without appropriate consent, contact us so we can review and delete it where required.

11. Third-party services and links

Our services may link to or integrate with third-party services, including Luma, payment processors, map providers, social platforms, hosts, venues, sponsors, and partner websites. Those parties control their own privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information directly to them.

12. International visitors

LAD/W is based in California, United States. If you access our services from another country, your information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location. Where applicable law requires additional safeguards or rights, we will address them as required.

13. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version and update the effective date. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice where required.
