Party Definitions: This agreement is between the attendee (“You” or “Attendee”) and the event organizers, Steven Wick Matchmaking / Link Up Network / Angela Myers Matchmaking (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “Organizer”).

By completing your registration for and attending any event hosted by the Company, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and voluntarily agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.

1. Assumption of Risk
You understand and acknowledge that your participation in any Company event involves inherent risks, both known and unknown, which may include, but are not limited to, personal injury, illness, emotional distress, property damage or theft, and the actions or omissions of other attendees or third parties. You voluntarily assume full and complete responsibility for all such risks.

2. Release of Claims and Waiver of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you, on behalf of yourself, your heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, waive, acquit, and forever discharge the Company, its owners, officers, employees, agents, contractors, volunteers, and affiliates (the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, damages, losses, and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that arise from or are in any way related to your participation in the event.

This release includes, but is not limited to, claims for:

Personal injury, disability, or death.
Illness (including communicable diseases such as COVID-19).
Property damage, loss, or theft.
Emotional or psychological injury.

This waiver of liability shall apply even if the claim arises from the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties. It does not apply to liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company.

3. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that arise out of or are related to:

Your own acts, omissions, negligence, or willful misconduct.
Your violation of any event rules, venue policies, or applicable laws.
Any damage you cause to the event venue or any property therein.
Any injury or harm you cause to another person (attendee, guest, vendor, or venue staff).
Your breach of any term of this agreement.

4. Personal Property Responsibility
You are solely and exclusively responsible for the security and safety of your personal belongings, including but not limited to vehicles, clothing, electronics, jewelry, and other valuables, that you bring to the event. The Company assumes no responsibility or liability for any loss, theft, damage, or destruction of personal property.

5. Limitation of Liability
In the event that, despite this agreement, the Company is found liable to you for any reason, you agree that the Company’s total aggregate liability shall not under any circumstances exceed the total cost of the ticket price you paid for the event for which the claim arose.

6. Force Majeure & Event Cancellation or Changes
The Company is not liable for failure to perform its obligations under this agreement if such failure is due to a Force Majeure Event. A “Force Majeure Event” includes any cause beyond our reasonable control, such as acts of God, war, terrorism, government regulations, public health crises, pandemics, strikes, fire, flood, earthquake, or the unforeseen closure or unavailability of the contracted venue.

Organizer’s Rights: In the event of a Force Majeure Event, the Organizer reserves the sole and absolute right to:

Cancel the event entirely.
Postpone the event to a later date.
Relocate the event to a substitute venue of the Organizer’s choosing.

Attendee’s Sole Remedy: If the event is canceled (and not postponed or relocated) due to a Force Majeure Event, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be a refund of the ticket price paid, less any non-refundable costs already incurred and irrecoverable by the Organizer (e.g., non-refundable venue deposits, purchased materials, and administrative/processing fees). Under no circumstances will the Company be liable for any incidental or consequential damages, including but not limited to travel expenses, accommodation costs, or other related losses.

Waiver of Venue Claims: You expressly waive any and all claims against the Organizer related to a Force Majeure Event. Any liability for a venue’s failure to perform rests solely with the venue provider, and you agree to seek any potential recourse directly from them, not from the Organizer.

7. General Provisions
You attest that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into this binding agreement. This agreement shall be binding upon your heirs, next of kin, executors, and administrators. If any provision of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, or understandings.

By completing your event registration, you digitally acknowledge and sign this agreement, signifying your full and unconditional acceptance of all its terms.
