Zero Tolerance Harassment and Discrimination Policy
Phillipsburg Comic-Con is committed to building and maintaining a safe and friendly environment for fans of all ages and backgrounds and as such, has a zero tolerance harassment and discrimination policy. This policy applies to all attendees, staff, vendors, exhibitors, and guests.
Phillipsburg Comic-Con will not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any person based on that person's sex, race, age, color, creed, religion, disability, ancestry or national origin, veteran status, or any other classification protected by state or federal laws. Examples of conduct prohibited by this policy include using racial and ethnic slurs, making offensive references to stereotypes, or making jokes about characteristics protected by law. Any such harassment is prohibited by this policy whether or not the conduct also violates federal or state law.
Harassment includes, but is not limited to: stalking, offensive verbal comments, harassing or non-consensual photography or recording, intimidation, unwanted or inappropriate physical contact, sustained disruption of events, as well as any other behavior that creates an intimidating, offensive, or hostile environment.
Any person that experiences or witnesses any form of harassment or discrimination, or has other concerns at the event should immediately contact a member of the Phillipsburg Comic-Con staff (identifiable by brightly colored logoed t-shirts). Phillipsburg Comic-Con staff have the ability to contact security or local law enforcement, and can provide escort or assist any person that feels they have experienced harassment to ensure they feel safe and are able to enjoy the remainder of the show.
Any person (attendee, vendor, staff, guest, or exhibitor) reported for harassing or discriminatory behavior will be expelled from the event, and in addition to any possible legal action, will not receive a refund for any money spent, including admission or table fees, and will immediately lose eligibility for any door prizes, panel prizes, or silent auction items.
Phillipsburg Comic-Con staff have sole discretion in determining if an action falls under this policy and reserves the right to take immediate action.
