River Reggae Event Terms and Conditions, Waiver, and Release Form
In consideration of being allowed to participate in and attend the 2022 River Reggae event (the “Event” or the “River Reggae Event”), I agree to comply with any and all rules, regulations, terms, and conditions of the River Reggae Event, including but not limited to the following:
I certify that I am physically able to participate in the River Reggae Event and in any associated activity or performance, and that I have not been advised otherwise by a qualified medical professional. I acknowledge and fully understand that as a participant, I will be engaging in activities that involve risk of serious injury, including permanent disability and death, property loss and severe social and economic losses. These risks include, but are not limited to, those caused by: (a) the actions, inactions, or negligence of the organizers of the River Reggae Event, i.e., Dream in Disco Project and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, volunteers, contractors, and/or affiliates (collectively, “DiD”) and/or participants in the Event; (b) conditions of the premises or equipment used; (c) rules and regulations regarding the activities; (d) temperature; (e) weather; (f) condition of participants; (g) the widespread use by participants and by DiD of fire, pyrotechnics, flame effects, explosions, and other similar activities; and (h) vehicular traffic. I further acknowledge and fully understand that there may also be other risks that are not known or foreseeable at this time. I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISK OF PROPERTY LOSS, PERSONAL INJURY, SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH, WHICH MAY OCCUR BY ATTENDING THE 2022 RIVER REGGAE EVENT, AND HEREBY FOREVER RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND HOLD DiD HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM SUCH RISK, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF DiD, OR FROM THIRD PARTIES, AND I ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR MY PARTICIPATION.
I understand that the novel coronavirus COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and is an extremely contagious disease that can cause severe illness and death. I understand that this Event is subject to enhanced health and safety measures, and I agree to comply with all health and safety requirements imposed by DiD or any government agency with jurisdiction over the Event. Despite these enhanced health and safety measures, I understand that there is a risk of exposure to COVID-19 or other communicable diseases at any public gathering like the Event regardless of test/vaccination status. BY ENTERING THE EVENT SITE, I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME THE RISK THAT I MAY BE EXPOSED TO OR INFECTED BY COVID-19 OR ANOTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASE OR ILLNESS, AND/OR THAT I MAY EXPOSE OR INFECT OTHERS, AND THAT SUCH EXPOSURE OR INFECTION MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, PERMANENT DISABILITY, AND/OR DEATH. I accept sole responsibility for any claims arising from or related to my participation in the Event, including any exposure to COVID-19 or health requirements at the Event site, and I agree that the waiver of liability and release set forth in Section 5 of these Terms and Conditions applies to any claim relating to COVID-19 or any other communicable disease.
I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, hereby waive, release, discharge, and agree not to sue DiD and other participants, sponsors, and if applicable, owners and lessors of equipment, art installations, and premises used to conduct the River Reggae Event or related activities (collectively the “Releasees”), from any and all claims for damages, injuries, losses, liabilities, and expenses that I may have or that may subsequently accrue to me relating to, resulting from, or arising out of my participation in the River Reggae Event, including in any programs, events, art installations, or activities at the Event, and including any injury or damage to my person or property, or to that of any other person or property. If DiD files a claim against me, however, I may file a counterclaim related to the same facts and circumstances. I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the Releasees harmless from and against any and all claims by third parties for damages, injuries, losses, liabilities, and expenses relating to, resulting from, or arising out of my participation in the River Reggae Event, including in any programs, events, art installations, or activities at the Event. I intend that the waiver and release of liability contained in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law.
River Reggae’s Media Policy. By entering the River Reggae Event, all participants agree to the following terms, conditions, and guidelines for the use of any imagery obtained at the Event, including still photographs and videos (hereinafter “Event Imagery”). Cameras are welcomed at the Event. DiD monitors dissemination of Event Imagery to protect participants’ right to privacy, freedom of expression, and creative immediacy. Participants may use Event Imagery for “Personal Use,” defined to include: (1) sharing with friends and family; and (2) displaying on personal websites and social media accounts, provided that the posts do not promote or sell any products, services, or brands, and the website or account is not affiliated with any commercial enterprise and does not purport or appear to be an official outlet of the Event or DiD. I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THAT I MAY NOT MAKE ANY USE OF EVENT IMAGERY WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM DiD, OTHER THAN PERSONAL USE (as defined above). I understand that I have no right to sell, transfer, license, sublicense, or give my Event Imagery to any other party, except for Personal Use, and I agree to inform anyone to whom I give any Event Imagery that it can only be used for Personal Use. Since I understand that, in the absence of written permission from DiD, I have no right to sell, transfer, license, sublicense or give any of my Event Imagery to any other party (except for Personal Use), if a third party obtains and uses any of my Event Imagery (other than for Personal Use) without such written permission from DiD, I agree that any permission, license, or right I may have granted this third party is completely void and invalid and that DiD has the absolute right, as joint copyright owner, to require the third party to cease all use of the Event Imagery. If I post, or allow to be posted, any Event Imagery on a personal website or account, whether controlled by me or by a third party, even if permissible as Personal Use, I agree that: (1) I will place, or cause to be placed, on any webpage or post displaying such Event Imagery a notice that (a) the Event Imagery can be used only for the poster’s personal use and not for any other purpose, and (b) the Event Imagery may be downloaded or copied only in accordance with a Creative Commons license that prohibits the licensee from using the Event Imagery for commercial purposes, including CC BY-NC, CC BY-NC-SA, and CC BY-NC-ND (available at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/)

I acknowledge that people are using film, video, and photographic cameras at the Event, and that my image may be captured on film, video, or photographs that may subsequently be displayed or disseminated without my consent or payment of compensation to me, and I release DiD from any liability due to such capturing, display, or dissemination.
I understand that some participants at the Event may engage in expressive activity and dress, which may include partial nudity or nudity and other types of expressive activity. I agree that such expressive activity and dress is not indecent or offensive to me, and that I have decided to attend the Event with full knowledge that such expressive activity and dress may occur. If I am accompanied by minors at the Event, I acknowledge that I have made a choice that the minors may be exposed to the expressive activities and dress that take place at the Event, and that I have exercised parental responsibility and control in bringing the minors to the Event. Should I find that any activity at the Event is offensive to me, or to any minors accompanying me, I acknowledge that I can avoid such activity by, among other things, leaving the vicinity of the activity or leaving the Event.

I agree to read and abide by the term and conditions and all information listed the EVENT webpage.
I consent to have medical treatment that may be deemed advisable in the event of injury, accident, and/or illness during any program, event, or activity at the Event. I release DiD and all persons participating in any such medical treatment from all responsibility for any such actions.
I agree that DiD is not liable for acts of God, the weather, health epidemics or pandemics (including worsening of the current COVID-19 pandemic), or actions taken by government agencies and similar causes.

Event Ingress and Egress. Due to the Event’s remote location, the vessel capacity limitations of the put in and take out points, I understand that I may be subject to lengthy delays in entering and departing the Event. I will be prepared for long waits at Peoria Park and at Crystal Lake boat ramp or Michael’s Landing. I understand that if my vessel is disabled or abandoned on the Willamette River while entering or leaving the Event, my vessel may be lost or hauled out by local authorities, and I expressly release DiD and its agents from liability for any damage to my vehicle that may result from the removal process.
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and enforced according to the laws of the State of Oregon without regard to any rules relating to conflicts of laws. I understand that any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions must be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Portland, Oregon, and I submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
I understand that these Terms and Conditions may be changed by DiD prior to the Event, and if so, the revised Terms and Conditions will apply to me. The most current version can be found at https://www.dreamdisco.org/river-reggae-2022-terms--conditions.html.
