Terms and conditions for each program are outlined separately and may be subject to updates or revisions at any time, without prior notice.

Participation in a program constitutes acceptance of the specific terms associated with that program.

4.2. Payouts and Awards

All payouts, rebates, grants, or awards are determined solely by NAECE and are not guaranteed.

NAECE reserves the right to modify or discontinue programs, payouts, or awards at its discretion and without liability.
