Legal framework
Official WordPress events are backed by the WordPress Foundation as their legal (and usually financial) entity, and so the relationship between events and sponsors is subject to some restrictions from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
WordPress Foundation is grateful for the valuable support sponsors provide to official WordPress events. For tax-related reasons, we ask our sponsors to observe certain practices in presenting themselves and their products and services at official events.
- Sponsors may provide:
- The sponsor’s name and logo
- Slogans that are an established part of the sponsor’s image
- The sponsor’s brands and trade names
- Sponsor contact information (such as telephone numbers, email addresses, and home page URLs)
- Factual (value-neutral) displays of actual products
- Displays or handout materials (such as brochures) with factual, value-neutral, non-comparative/non-qualitative descriptions or listings of products or services
- Price information, or other indications of savings or value, if factual and provable
- Inducements to purchase or use the Sponsor’s products or services, for example by providing coupons or discount purchase codes (subject to approval)
- Calls to action, such as “visit this site for details”, “call now for a special offer”, “join our league of savings”, etc.
- Sponsors may not provide:
- Promotional or marketing material containing qualitative, comparative, or non-neutral messages about the Sponsor, its products or services (such as “the first name in WordPress hosting”, “award-winning”, or “the best e-commerce plugin”)
- Claims that WordPress Foundation, WordCamps, or WordCamp organizers endorse or favor a Sponsor or its products or services (such as “certified WordPress training” or “WordCamp’s favorite plugin”).
- Sponsors agree that the WordPress Foundation, any subsidiary or related entity of the Foundation, and WordCamp organizers have the right to request and review sponsor materials in advance of an event, to require changes to any materials in advance, and to require that any materials that do not meet the above expectations be taken down or that any practices that do not meet the above expectations be discontinued during a WordCamp or event. The above restrictions also apply to material placed on any self-serve swag tables reserved for sponsor use.
- All sponsors are expected to support the WordPress project and its principles, including:
- No discrimination on the basis of economic or social status, race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, creed, religion, political belief, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, or disability.
- No incitement to violence or promotion of hate
- No spammers
- No jerks
- Respect the WordPress trademark.
- Embrace the WordPress license; if distributing WordPress-derivative works (themes, plugins, WP distros), any person or business officially associated with WordCamp should give their users the same freedoms that WordPress itself provides: 100% GPL or compatible, the same guidelines we follow on WordPress.org.
- Don’t promote companies or people that violate the trademark or distribute WordPress derivative works which aren’t 100% GPL compatible.
- Sponsorship is in no way connected to the opportunity to speak at an official WordPress event and does not alter the WordPress or WordCamp trademark usage policy found at http://wordpressfoundation.org/. The WordPress Foundation and any subsidiary or related entity of the Foundation reserve the right to modify the above requirements and expectations at any time by providing written notice to the sponsor.
