|
||
<h2>1. Agreement & Parties</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between
|
||
you and <strong>Shiloh LLC</strong>, an Idaho limited liability
|
||
company ("Shiloh," "we," "us," or "our"), the producer of Shiloh
|
||
Echo '26 (the "Event"). By purchasing a ticket, registering,
|
||
entering the venue, or otherwise participating in the Event, you
|
||
("you," "your," or "Attendee") agree to these Terms on behalf of
|
||
yourself and any minor child or ward you bring. If you do not agree,
|
||
do not purchase a ticket or enter the venue.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Acceptance.</strong> Acceptance of these Terms occurs
|
||
in the following order of priority: (a) clicking "I agree"
|
||
(or an equivalent affirmation) during the ticket-purchase
|
||
flow on hi.events; (b) signing or initialing these Terms,
|
||
or a check-in acknowledgment incorporating them by
|
||
reference, at venue check-in. Where neither (a) nor (b) has
|
||
occurred, presentation of a ticket at the venue gate
|
||
accompanied by Event staff's written or verbal notice of
|
||
these Terms at the point of entry constitutes acceptance.
|
||
A parent or legal guardian accepting these Terms on behalf
|
||
of a minor child or ward represents and warrants that they
|
||
have legal authority to do so and that they assume personal
|
||
responsibility under these Terms for the minor's
|
||
compliance. The most recently posted version of these
|
||
Terms, as reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top
|
||
of this page, supersedes any prior version, including any
|
||
printed, saved, or cached copy.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>2. Tickets & Payment</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
All ticket sales are processed through hi.events, our third-party
|
||
ticketing platform. Payment processing is handled by Stripe; we do
|
||
not store full payment card numbers. Tickets are non-transferable to
|
||
a different person unless updated through the ticketing platform at
|
||
least 14 days before the Event. Tickets may be transferred to a
|
||
future Shiloh Echo event year by emailing
|
||
<a href="mailto:hello@shilohecho.org">hello@shilohecho.org</a> at
|
||
least 14 days before the Event start date. <strong>Taxes.</strong>
|
||
Ticket prices are exclusive of any applicable Idaho sales
|
||
tax, which will be added at checkout where required by law
|
||
(see Idaho Code § 63-3613).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Chargebacks.</strong> Attendees agree not to
|
||
initiate a credit-card or debit-card chargeback in
|
||
violation of these Terms. If an Attendee initiates a
|
||
chargeback in violation of these Terms (including the
|
||
refund policy in Section 3), the Attendee agrees to pay
|
||
Shiloh's reasonable costs of disputing the chargeback,
|
||
including attorneys' fees, in addition to the chargeback
|
||
amount. This provision does not waive any right that
|
||
cannot be waived under applicable card-network rules or
|
||
consumer-protection law.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>3. Refunds</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Full refunds are available up to 30 days before the Event (by
|
||
August 12, 2026). Between 30 and 14 days before the Event, we offer
|
||
a 50% refund or a 100% credit toward a future Shiloh Echo event.
|
||
Within 14 days of the Event, tickets are non-refundable except in
|
||
cases of documented medical emergency or death of the Attendee or
|
||
immediate family member, in which case we will issue a refund or
|
||
credit at our discretion. Refund requests must be submitted in
|
||
writing to
|
||
<a href="mailto:hello@shilohecho.org">hello@shilohecho.org</a> with
|
||
your order number. Refunds will be issued to the original payment
|
||
method within 30 days of approval. Refund decisions made in
|
||
good faith under this policy are final. <strong>Nothing in this Section waives, limits, or ousts any right or remedy
|
||
that cannot be waived under the Idaho Consumer Protection
|
||
Act, Idaho Code § 48-601 et seq. (including the private
|
||
right of action under § 48-608), or any other applicable
|
||
Idaho or federal consumer-protection law.</strong>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<em>Cross-reference:</em> Removal from the Event under
|
||
Section 5 (Code of Conduct) is not subject to the refund
|
||
provisions of this Section and does not entitle the Attendee
|
||
to any refund or credit.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>4. Event Changes & Cancellation</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The Event is planned and produced by a small volunteer team. We
|
||
reserve the right to modify the schedule, speaker lineup, vendor
|
||
offerings, activities, venue, and format without notice due to
|
||
weather, safety, vendor availability, public-health guidance,
|
||
governmental action, or other circumstances within or beyond our
|
||
reasonable control. If the Event is canceled in full, ticket holders
|
||
will receive a full refund to the original payment method within 30
|
||
days. <strong>If the Event is canceled, that refund is your sole
|
||
and exclusive remedy.</strong>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>No consequential damages.</strong> In no event
|
||
shall Shiloh be liable for any consequential, incidental,
|
||
indirect, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising
|
||
out of any Event cancellation, modification, postponement,
|
||
or suspension, including but not limited to lost travel
|
||
costs, lost wages, lost vacation time, or lost
|
||
opportunities, even if Shiloh has been advised of the
|
||
possibility of such damages and even if the
|
||
cancellation, modification, postponement, or suspension
|
||
was foreseeable.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>5. Code of Conduct</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Shiloh Echo is a family-friendly Christian retreat. All Attendees,
|
||
speakers, vendors, volunteers, and staff must treat one another with
|
||
respect. The following are not permitted and may result in immediate
|
||
removal without refund:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Verbal, physical, or written harassment of any kind, including
|
||
but not limited to threats, intimidation, unwelcome sexual
|
||
conduct, and hate speech targeting any protected class.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Possession or use of illegal substances, including any substance
|
||
the possession or use of which is unlawful under Idaho or federal
|
||
law.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Firearms, weapons, and the supervised gun range.</strong>
|
||
Shiloh Echo operates a <em>personal-firearm-friendly</em> event
|
||
consistent with Idaho law. The rules below govern where, when, and
|
||
how firearms may be carried and handled on venue property.
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Concealed and open carry.</strong> Lawfully possessed
|
||
firearms may be carried concealed or openly on venue property
|
||
by any Attendee who is legally entitled to possess the firearm
|
||
under federal and Idaho law. Idaho is a constitutional-carry
|
||
state, and no concealed weapons license is required to carry
|
||
concealed in Idaho. Attendees carrying concealed are not
|
||
required to present a license to Event staff, but must, upon
|
||
request, present a government-issued photo ID. Open carry is
|
||
permitted for lawfully authorized Attendees. The carrying of
|
||
a firearm does not authorize its use except as expressly
|
||
permitted in these Terms.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>General venue rules (cold range).</strong> Except
|
||
inside the actively supervised gun range area and only when
|
||
authorized by a Range Officer (an "RO"), all firearms on
|
||
venue property must be kept in a <em>cold</em> condition:
|
||
action open, magazine removed, chamber empty, and (where
|
||
applicable) in a case, holster, or sling. This applies to
|
||
carried firearms, range firearms, and firearms in vehicles.
|
||
Holstering, un-holstering, draw-and-reholster drills,
|
||
chambering, dry-firing, and any other handling of a firearm
|
||
are prohibited outside the supervised gun range. Firearms,
|
||
ammunition, and magazines must be transported to and from the
|
||
range in a closed case, range bag, or holster.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Range access and inspection.</strong> Entry to the
|
||
gun range is by Event-issued credential only and is limited to
|
||
the published range hours. All firearms and ammunition
|
||
brought onto the range are subject to inspection by Event
|
||
Range Officers at any time. Range staff may deny entry to,
|
||
or require removal of, any firearm, ammunition, accessory, or
|
||
Attendee that the ROs, in their sole discretion, consider
|
||
unsafe, non-functional, illegal, or inconsistent with the
|
||
range program.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Mandatory safety briefing.</strong> Before any
|
||
Attendee is permitted on the firing line, the Attendee must
|
||
complete the on-site written or verbal safety briefing
|
||
administered by the Event's designated range-safety
|
||
provider or designated Range Officers. The
|
||
briefing covers, at minimum: the four rules of firearm
|
||
safety, cold-range/cease-fire procedures, RO commands,
|
||
muzzle discipline, trigger discipline, eye and ear
|
||
protection, and ammunition restrictions. Each Attendee must
|
||
sign a range acknowledgment before being admitted to the
|
||
firing line.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Range conduct (hot line).</strong> When on the firing
|
||
line, Attendees must:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Follow every command of the RO immediately and without
|
||
argument. RO commands are final on safety matters.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction (downrange)
|
||
at all times. <em>Muzzle awareness is mandatory.</em>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Keep the trigger finger off the trigger and outside the
|
||
trigger guard until the firearm is on target and the
|
||
Attendee has decided to fire.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Use only the ammunition type and loading procedures
|
||
specified by the RO for the assigned firing station.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Wear appropriate eye and ear protection at all times
|
||
while on or near the firing line. Eye and ear protection
|
||
are provided or may be brought; no one may be forward
|
||
of the firing line without them.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Not handle firearms, load, unload, chamber, or
|
||
un-chamber a round, or move forward of the firing line
|
||
during a <em>cease fire</em>. On the RO's call of
|
||
"cease fire," every Attendee must immediately stop
|
||
firing, remove their finger from the trigger, unload
|
||
the firearm (magazine out, action open, chamber
|
||
empty), and step back from the firing line.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Not consume alcohol, marijuana, or any intoxicating or
|
||
impairing substance before or during range activity.
|
||
No person under the influence will be admitted to or
|
||
permitted to remain on the firing line. Intoxicated
|
||
Attendees will be removed from the range and may be
|
||
removed from the Event without refund.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Age and supervision.</strong> To comply with
|
||
federal law (including 18 U.S.C. § 922(x), which
|
||
restricts juvenile possession of handguns and
|
||
ammunition), the gun range is open only as follows:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Attendees 18 and over</strong> may participate
|
||
fully in the range program, including firing any
|
||
firearm and handling ammunition, after completing
|
||
the safety briefing.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Attendees 13 through 17</strong> may
|
||
participate only in activities that do not involve
|
||
possession of a handgun or handgun ammunition, as
|
||
those terms are used in 18 U.S.C. § 922(x). This
|
||
typically means long guns (rifles and shotguns) only,
|
||
or non-firing instruction at the discretion of the
|
||
RO, and only with the direct, in-person supervision
|
||
of a parent or legal guardian who has also completed
|
||
the safety briefing and who signs the range
|
||
acknowledgment on the minor's behalf.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Attendees under 13</strong> are not
|
||
permitted on the firing line under any circumstance
|
||
and may only observe from behind the line under
|
||
parental supervision.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
The parent or legal guardian accompanying any minor on
|
||
the line assumes direct responsibility for the minor's
|
||
compliance with these rules and with all applicable
|
||
federal, state, and local law.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Prohibited items and conduct.</strong> The following
|
||
are not permitted on the range: multiple
|
||
targets-of-opportunity, drawing from a holster except as
|
||
expressly authorized by the RO, and any conduct the RO
|
||
deems unsafe, reckless, or inconsistent with the published
|
||
program. No personal targets, ammunition, or firearms may
|
||
be brought onto the range without RO approval. Photography
|
||
or video taken on the range is permitted only with the
|
||
prior consent of any person being photographed and must
|
||
not capture bystanders, other Attendees' firearms, or the
|
||
firing line without their consent.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Compliance with law.</strong> All firearm possession
|
||
and use on venue property must comply with Idaho Code
|
||
§ 18-3302 (under which, by operation of § 18-3302(4)(f), any
|
||
person eighteen (18) years of age or older who is a U.S.
|
||
citizen or current member of the armed forces of
|
||
the United States and who is
|
||
not otherwise disqualified may carry a concealed deadly weapon
|
||
without a license), the enhanced-license provisions of Idaho
|
||
Code § 18-3302K (which are optional and provide additional
|
||
privileges such as reciprocity), and all other applicable
|
||
federal, state, and local laws. Firearms regulation in the
|
||
United States is a matter of federal, state, and local law.
|
||
Nothing in these Terms is intended to conflict with
|
||
applicable federal law, including but not limited to the
|
||
Gun Control Act of 1968 (18 U.S.C. § 921 et seq.), the
|
||
National Firearms Act (26 U.S.C. § 5801 et seq.), and
|
||
the regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent
|
||
any provision of these Terms is inconsistent with federal
|
||
law, federal law controls. Attendees are solely
|
||
responsible for their compliance.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Violations.</strong> Violation of any provision of
|
||
this firearms policy may result in immediate removal from
|
||
the range, immediate removal from the Event without
|
||
refund, revocation of any range credential, and referral
|
||
to law enforcement. Range Officer determinations of unsafe
|
||
conduct are final on site. As with all conduct described
|
||
in this Code of Conduct, a single serious safety violation
|
||
is sufficient grounds for removal regardless of intent.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Smoking or vaping outside of designated areas, in compliance with
|
||
Idaho's Idaho Clean Indoor Air Act (Idaho Code § 39-5501 et seq.)
|
||
where it applies to the venue.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Pets other than qualified service animals as defined by the U.S.
|
||
Department of Justice ADA regulations (28 C.F.R. § 36.104).
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Solicitation, distribution, or sale of materials not approved in
|
||
writing by Event organizers.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Damage, destruction, or theft of venue, organizer, or Attendee
|
||
property. Attendees are financially responsible for damage they
|
||
cause and may be subject to criminal prosecution under applicable
|
||
Idaho law.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Public intoxication, possession of open containers of alcohol
|
||
outside designated areas, or consumption of alcohol, marijuana,
|
||
or any other intoxicating or impairing substance in any public
|
||
area of the venue. This prohibition applies venue-wide and is
|
||
not limited to the supervised gun range; see the firearms
|
||
sub-clause below for the parallel rule on the firing line.
|
||
<em>For purposes of this Section, an Attendee is
|
||
"intoxicated" when, in the reasonable judgment of Event
|
||
staff based on observable conduct (including but not
|
||
limited to slurred speech, inability to walk steadily,
|
||
aggressive or disruptive behavior, vomiting, or
|
||
unconsciousness), the Attendee is impaired by alcohol,
|
||
marijuana, or any other substance, regardless of blood
|
||
alcohol content.</em> Intoxicated Attendees will be
|
||
removed from the venue and may be removed from the Event
|
||
without refund, and any such removal is not subject to
|
||
the refund provisions of Section 3.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Hazing, bullying, initiation rituals, or any other conduct that
|
||
demeans, humiliates, or endangers another Attendee. This
|
||
applies in person and on any Event-associated digital channels,
|
||
group chats, or social media.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), remotely piloted
|
||
aircraft, or model aircraft over venue property without prior
|
||
written permission from Event organizers. The airspace over the
|
||
Event is treated as a controlled shooting environment; any
|
||
unauthorized aircraft creates an immediate safety hazard.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Fire, wildfire, and burn-ban compliance.</strong> Open
|
||
fires, camp stoves, smoking materials, shooting, fireworks, or
|

<h3>5A. Water Activities & Personal Equipment</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Scope.</strong> This sub-section applies to all
|
||
water-related activities on venue property, including but
|
||
not limited to swimming, wading, floating, canoeing,
|
||
kayaking, paddle-boarding, baptism in the lake, use of any
|
||
dock, raft, or shoreline, and any other activity in, on, or
|
||
near the creek, river, lake, still pool, baptismal area, or
|
||
any other body of water on venue property (collectively,
|
||
the "Water Activities"). The Water Activities are
|
||
unsupervised unless explicitly designated as supervised by
|
||
Event organizers.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Assumption of risk.</strong> In addition to the
|
||
general assumption of risk in Section 7, you specifically
|
||
acknowledge and assume all risks inherent to water
|
||
activities, including but not limited to: drowning;
|
||
near-drowning; hypothermia; cold-water shock; slips, trips,
|
||
and falls on wet, slippery, or uneven surfaces (including
|
||
rocks, docks, ladders, and shoreline); submerged or
|
||
floating objects; sudden depth changes; currents;
|
||
underwater hazards; entrapment; waterborne illness;
|
||
sun exposure; wildlife (including snakes, leeches, and
|
||
aquatic life); equipment failure; weather changes; flash
|
||
flooding; and the absence of a lifeguard, swim buddy, or
|
||
trained water-rescue personnel on duty.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Personal flotation devices (PFDs / life
|
||
jackets).</strong>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Attendee-supplied PFDs.</strong> Shiloh does
|
||
not supply personal flotation devices to Attendees as
|
||
a standard service. Each Attendee participating in any
|
||
Water Activity is <em>required</em> to supply their own
|
||
Coast-Guard-approved (USCG-approved) life jacket that
|
||
is properly sized, fastened, and in good condition. By
|
||
participating in any Water Activity, you represent
|
||
that you have supplied, and will use, an appropriate
|
||
PFD for yourself and for any minor in your care. A
|
||
very limited number of loaner PFDs may be available
|
||
at the dock as an emergency courtesy; see the
|
||
"Loaner PFDs" bullet below.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Children and non-swimmers.</strong> Any Attendee
|
||
who cannot swim, or any minor under the age of 13, must
|
||
wear a properly fitted, fastened, USCG-approved life
|
||
jacket at all times while in, on, or within ten (10)
|
||
feet of the edge of any body of water on venue property,
|
||
regardless of water depth, swimming ability, or the
|
||
presence of an adult. This requirement is not waivable
|
||
by the parent or guardian.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Canoes, kayaks, and paddle-craft.</strong> Every
|
||
occupant of any canoe, kayak, paddle-board, raft, or
|
||
other paddle-craft on venue waters must wear a
|
||
USCG-approved life jacket at all times while the craft
|
||
is on the water. The craft operator is responsible for
|
||
ensuring every occupant is properly outfitted before
|
||
launching.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Loaner PFDs (emergency courtesy only).</strong>
|
||
<em>BYO PFD strongly encouraged.</em> Shiloh makes a
|
||
very limited number of loaner PFDs available at the
|
||
dock for first-time or forgetful Attendees, on a
|
||
first-come, first-served basis. Loaner PFDs are
|
||
provided as a backup courtesy only, are not a
|
||
substitute for bringing your own, and are not a
|
||
guarantee of availability. Loaner PFDs are provided
|
||
"as is" with no warranty of fitness, sizing, or
|
||
condition; use of a loaner PFD is at the Attendee's
|
||
sole risk. Shiloh reserves the right to refuse to
|
||
loan a PFD and to require the Attendee to obtain one
|
||
elsewhere or to refrain from the Water Activity.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>No lifeguard, no rescue duty.</strong> Unless an
|
||
Event-organized Water Activity is explicitly designated as
|
||
supervised (e.g., a posted, scheduled guided paddle),
|
||
Shiloh does not provide lifeguards, swim monitors, or
|
||
water-rescue personnel, and owes no duty to supervise,
|
||
monitor, or rescue Attendees in or near the water. You are
|
||
solely responsible for your own safety and the safety of
|
||
any minor or non-swimmer in your care.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Swim-at-your-own-risk.</strong> All swimming,
|
||
wading, and floating is at the Attendee's own risk. Water
|
||
depth, current, and conditions may change without notice.
|
||
Shiloh does not measure, mark, certify, or warrant the
|
||
depth, cleanliness, temperature, or safety of any body of
|
||
water on venue property.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Personal equipment generally.</strong> Shiloh does
|
||
not provide helmets, eye protection, gloves, closed-toe
|
||
footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, hydration supplies,
|
||
first-aid supplies, navigation tools, flashlights,
|
||
insect repellent, sunscreen, or other personal safety
|
||
equipment for any activity (land or water), except as
|
||
specifically posted for a supervised activity (e.g., eye
|
||
and ear protection at the gun range). You are responsible
|
||
for bringing, using, and maintaining your own personal
|
||
safety equipment appropriate to the activities you choose
|
||
to participate in. <em>Equipment you bring is your
|
||
responsibility; we are not liable for the failure,
|
||
mis-sizing, or misuse of personal equipment.</em>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5B. Accessibility & Reasonable Accommodation</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Shiloh complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act
|
||
(ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and will
|
||
engage in an interactive process for Attendees who require
|
||
reasonable accommodation to access the Event. Requests for
|
||
reasonable accommodation should be directed in advance to
|
||
<a href="mailto:hello@shilohecho.org">hello@shilohecho.org</a>
|
||
and should be made at least fourteen (14) days before the
|
||
Event start date. The ADA does not require Shiloh to grant
|
||
any request that would fundamentally alter the nature of
|
||
the Event, impose an undue burden, or pose a direct threat
|
||
to the safety of the Attendee or others. <em>Nothing in
|
||
these Terms waives any right or remedy that cannot be
|
||
waived under the ADA, Section 504, or any other applicable
|
||
federal, state, or local disability-rights law.</em>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5C. Posted Rules, Inspections, and Good-Faith Reporting</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Posted rules.</strong> Posted signs, rules, and
|
||
instructions at specific activity locations (including but
|
||
not limited to signs stating "BYO PFD," "Helmets
|
||
Required," "Authorized Personnel Only Beyond This Point,"
|
||
"Closed-toe Shoes Required," "No Glass Containers," or
|
||
similar) are incorporated into these Terms by reference and
|
||
have the same binding effect. Failure to observe posted
|
||
signs is a violation of these Terms.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Pre-use inspection.</strong> Before using any
|
||
equipment provided by Shiloh (including but not limited to
|
||
any canoe, paddle, paddle-board, axe, smithing tool, horse,
|
||
harness, or any other equipment), the Attendee must
|
||
visually inspect the equipment for obvious defects. If the
|
||
equipment appears unsafe, the Attendee must not use it and
|
||
must report it to Event staff. Use of equipment after a
|
||
reasonable visual inspection constitutes the Attendee's
|
||
acceptance of the equipment's condition.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Good-faith safety reports.</strong> Attendees are
|
||
encouraged to report safety concerns, near-misses, and rule
|
||
violations to Event staff. Good-faith reports will not be
|
||
used against the reporting Attendee in any civil, criminal,
|
||
or administrative proceeding, except in a proceeding for
|
||
false statements or fraudulent claims. This clause does not
|
||
prevent Event staff from investigating the underlying
|
||
incident or from taking safety action.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5D. Baptism and Water Immersion</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Baptism is a religious ceremony involving full or partial
|
||
body immersion in the lake. You specifically acknowledge
|
||
and assume the risks of: cold-water immersion and shock;
|
||
hypothermia; loss of footing on submerged or slick
|
||
surfaces; entanglement in robes or wet garments;
|
||
post-immersion cold exposure; cardiac, respiratory,
|
||
pregnancy-related, and orthopedic stress; and the absence
|
||
of a lifeguard on duty. Participants are responsible for
|
||
assessing their own physical condition and for wearing
|
||
appropriate clothing and footwear for the conditions.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5E. Equestrian Activity Acknowledgment (Idaho Code § 6-1802 et seq.)</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Warning:</strong> Under Idaho law, an equine
|
||
activity sponsor is not liable for any injury to or the
|
||
death of a participant in equine activities resulting from
|
||
the inherent risks of equine activities, pursuant to
|
||
Idaho Code § 6-1802 et seq. The inherent risks of equine
|
||
activities include, but are not limited to:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The propensity of an equine to behave in ways that
|
||
may result in injury, death, or loss to the
|
||
participant.</li>
|
||
<li>The unpredictability of an equine's reaction to
|
||
sounds, sudden movement, unfamiliar objects, persons,
|
||
or other animals.</li>
|
||
<li>Certain hazards such as surface and subsurface
|
||
conditions.</li>
|
||
<li>Collisions with other equines or objects.</li>
|
||
<li>The potential of a participant to act in a negligent
|
||
manner that may contribute to injury to the
|
||
participant or others, including but not limited to
|
||
failing to maintain reasonable control of the equine
|
||
or not acting within the participant's ability.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Each Attendee who rides, handles, or is in close
|
||
proximity to any equine on venue property must sign a
|
||
separate written equine acknowledgment, in a form
|
||
substantially similar to the warning above, before
|
||
participating. A parent or legal guardian must sign on
|
||
behalf of any minor.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5F. Vehicle Parking, Camping, and Storage</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Parking, RV hookups, camping spots, gear storage, and
|
||
any similar accommodation are provided as a license to
|
||
use space, not as a bailment. Shiloh does not assume
|
||
custody, care, or control of any vehicle, RV, trailer,
|
||
tent, gear, or personal property placed in or near any
|
||
parking, camping, or storage area, and is not
|
||
responsible for theft, damage, or loss of any such
|
||
property. Vehicles and RVs must be parked in designated
|
||
areas only.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5G. Marketing Materials and Reliance</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Notwithstanding any marketing materials, sponsorship
|
||
communications, social-media posts, vendor descriptions,
|
||
or other representations of the Event, attendance is at
|
||
the Attendee's own risk to the maximum extent permitted
|
||
by Idaho law. No representation, statement, or
|
||
description of the Event, whether written or oral, by
|
||
Event organizers, sponsors, vendors, or agents, shall
|
||
be construed as a warranty of safety, fitness for any
|
||
particular purpose, or guarantee against injury, except
|
||
as expressly set forth in these Terms.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5H. Medical Care, First Aid, and Emergency Response</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
First-aid supplies and, when available, personnel with
|
||
current first-aid or wilderness-first-responder
|
||
certification will be on-site during published Event hours.
|
||
On-site medical care is provided as a courtesy only and is
|
||
not a substitute for professional medical care. In a
|
||
medical emergency, Attendees should dial 911 immediately.
|
||
Event staff and volunteers are not licensed medical
|
||
professionals unless specifically identified as such. The
|
||
nearest hospital is Boundary Community Hospital, Bonners
|
||
Ferry, Idaho. By attending, you acknowledge that on-site
|
||
medical care may be limited, delayed, or unavailable, and
|
||
you assume the risk of any such limitation, delay, or
|
||
absence. You are responsible for bringing your own
|
||
prescription medications, epinephrine auto-injectors,
|
||
inhalers, and other personal medical supplies, and for
|
||
notifying Event staff in advance of any medical condition
|
||
that may require emergency response.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5I. Non-Discrimination and Open-Event Posture</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Shiloh Echo is a Christian organization, and the Event
|
||
includes Christian programming, worship, teaching, and
|
||
community. <em>The Event is open to all attendees
|
||
regardless of religion, race, color, sex, sexual
|
||
orientation, gender identity, disability, national origin,
|
||
or any other characteristic protected by the Idaho Human
|
||
Rights Act (Idaho Code § 67-5901 et seq.) or any other
|
||
applicable law.</em> Attendance does not require agreement
|
||
with, or adherence to, Shiloh's religious beliefs, and
|
||
attendance is not conditioned on participation in any
|
||
religious activity. Use of facilities (including but not
|
||
limited to the lake, dock, range, forge, and grounds) is
|
||
open to all attendees on the same terms regardless of
|
||
religious belief or non-belief.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5J. Volunteer Screening and Mandatory Reporting</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Volunteer screening.</strong> All volunteers of
|
||
Shiloh with direct, regular, or unsupervised contact with
|
||
minors (defined as contact other than incidental, brief,
|
||
and in the immediate presence of a parent or guardian)
|
||
are subject to a criminal background check, including a
|
||
sex-offender registry check using the Idaho Sex Offender
|
||
Registry (https://sor.idaho.gov) and the U.S. Department
|
||
of Justice National Sex Offender Public Website
|
||
(https://www.nsopw.gov), prior to the start of their
|
||
service. Volunteers who appear on any sex-offender
|
||
registry or who have been convicted of any offense
|
||
involving a minor, violence, or a sexual offense are
|
||
prohibited from serving in any capacity involving access
|
||
to minors at the Event.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Mandatory reporting.</strong> Shiloh complies with
|
||
Idaho's mandatory child-abuse reporting statute, Idaho
|
||
Code § 16-1605. Any allegation or reasonable suspicion of
|
||
child abuse, abandonment, or neglect observed at the
|
||
Event will be reported by Event staff to the Idaho
|
||
Department of Health and Welfare and to local law
|
||
enforcement as required by law.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Volunteer dual role.</strong> Volunteers act in
|
||
their capacity as Event volunteers only, regardless of
|
||
any professional qualifications they may hold (e.g.,
|
||
medical, military, or law-enforcement background).
|
||
Volunteers do not render professional services and are
|
||
not acting within any professional license while
|
||
performing volunteer duties. Any professional services
|
||
are the responsibility of the licensed individual and not
|
||
of Shiloh.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5K. Vendors, Contractors, and Independent Operators</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Definition.</strong> "Vendor" means any person,
|
||
entity, or organization (other than Shiloh and its direct
|
||
employees) that provides goods, services, activities, or
|
||
instruction at the Event, including but not limited to
|
||
the supervised gun-range operator, equestrian providers,
|
||
axe-throwing operators, blacksmithing instructors,
|
||
massage therapists, food and beverage providers, drone
|
||
operators, and any other contractor.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Independent contractor.</strong> Each Vendor is
|
||
an independent contractor and is not an agent, employee,
|
||
partner, or joint venturer of Shiloh. Shiloh is not
|
||
liable for any act, omission, negligence, or misconduct
|
||
of any Vendor or any Vendor's employees, contractors,
|
||
subcontractors, or agents, except to the extent such
|
||
liability arises from the sole negligence of Shiloh.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Vendor insurance and indemnification.</strong>
|
||
Each Vendor must, at its sole expense, maintain
|
||
commercial general liability insurance of at least
|
||
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the
|
||
aggregate, name Shiloh LLC as an additional insured, and
|
||
provide a certificate of insurance to Shiloh at least
|
||
fourteen (14) days before the Event. Each Vendor must
|
||
execute a Vendor Agreement, in a form provided by
|
||
Shiloh, that includes a release of claims in favor of
|
||
Shiloh and an indemnification of Shiloh for claims
|
||
arising from the Vendor's acts, omissions, or
|
||
operations at the Event.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5L. Substance Use, Overdose Prevention, and EMS Coordination</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Shiloh maintains a supply of opioid-overdose reversal
|
||
medication (naloxone/Narcan) on-site during the Event
|
||
and trains designated staff in its administration, in
|
||
accordance with Idaho's emergency-medication statute,
|
||
Idaho Code § 54-1735. Shiloh does not search Attendees'
|
||
persons, bags, or vehicles for illegal substances as a
|
||
matter of course. In the event of a suspected overdose
|
||
or substance-related medical emergency, Event staff
|
||
will summon emergency medical services immediately and
|
||
may provide first-aid measures (including naloxone
|
||
administration by trained staff) as a courtesy only.
|
||
Shiloh does not warrant that naloxone or any other
|
||
medical intervention will be effective in any given
|
||
circumstance.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5M. Photography, Recording, and Minors</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Personal, non-commercial photography and video recording
|
||
at the Event are permitted for personal use, except in
|
||
areas specifically designated as "No Photography" by
|
||
posted signs, including but not limited to restrooms,
|
||
changing areas, the baptism area during ceremonies, and
|
||
any area where minors are in a state of undress. Any
|
||
commercial photography, professional videography,
|
||
drone photography, livestreaming, or content created
|
||
for distribution to third-party media outlets requires
|
||
prior written credentials from Event organizers (see
|
||
the press-credentialing clause above). Attendees are
|
||
responsible for obtaining consent from any person they
|
||
photograph or record. Shiloh is not liable for
|
||
unauthorized photography or recording by other
|
||
Attendees or third parties.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>5N. Security, Lost-Child Protocol, and Threat Reporting</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Security.</strong> Shiloh provides reasonable
|
||
security measures appropriate to a family-friendly
|
||
outdoor retreat, including perimeter lighting in main
|
||
activity areas, on-site security personnel during
|
||
published Event hours, and emergency contact procedures.
|
||
Shiloh does not warrant or guarantee Attendee safety
|
||
from criminal acts of third parties. Attendees are
|
||
responsible for their own personal security, including
|
||
securing their vehicles, valuables, and personal
|
||
effects.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Lost-child protocol.</strong> Shiloh maintains
|
||
a written lost-child protocol, available at the
|
||
check-in desk and posted on the Event website, that
|
||
includes (a) immediate notification of Event staff,
|
||
(b) a designated lost-child reunification point,
|
||
(c) coordination with local law enforcement if the
|
||
child is not located within thirty (30) minutes, and
|
||
(d) use of the parent-guardian contact database
|
||
established under Section 6.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Threat reporting.</strong> Attendees have a
|
||
duty to promptly report to Event staff any safety
|
||
concern, threat, weapon violation, or violation of
|
||
these Terms. Failure to report a known safety concern
|
||
is a violation of these Terms and may result in
|
||
removal and forfeiture of any claim arising from the
|
||
unreported incident to the maximum extent permitted
|
||
by Idaho law.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>6. Children & Supervision</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Children are welcome and encouraged to attend with their families.
|
||
<strong>"Direct adult supervision"</strong> means that the
|
||
responsible adult is in the immediate vicinity, in line of
|
||
sight of the minor, and able to respond within seconds to
|
||
the minor's needs. A parent or guardian who leaves a minor
|
||
unattended on venue property, or who permits a minor to
|
||
be outside the scope of "direct adult supervision,"
|
||
assumes all risk of injury to that minor and releases
|
||
Shiloh from any duty to supervise, monitor, or protect
|
||
that minor.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Parents and guardians are responsible at all times for the
|
||
supervision, safety, and behavior of their minor children.
|
||
Some activities have age restrictions (e.g., the gun range
|
||
permits Attendees 18+ to fire any firearm, and Attendees
|
||
13–17 only long guns / non-firing instruction under
|
||
parental supervision). Minors must remain under direct
|
||
adult supervision while participating in any physical or
|
||
outdoor activity. Shiloh does not provide unsupervised
|
||
childcare, baby-sitting, or minor-watch services.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Minor's wristband and identification.</strong> Each
|
||
minor in attendance <em>may</em> be issued a wristband at
|
||
check-in bearing the parent or guardian's name and contact
|
||
number, at the parent or guardian's option. Event staff
|
||
are authorized to detain, locate, and return to the parent
|
||
or guardian any minor found on venue property without
|
||
apparent adult supervision. <em>Regardless of whether a
|
||
wristband is issued, a parent or guardian who wishes to
|
||
remove a minor from the venue with a person other than
|
||
themselves must first sign out the minor at the check-in
|
||
desk and present photo ID of the receiving adult.</em>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>7. Assumption of Risk</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The Event includes outdoor, physical, and recreational activities,
|
||
including but not limited to: hiking, backcountry travel,
|
||
horseback riding, blacksmithing and forge work, axe throwing,
|
||
shooting sports, archery, wood-fired sauna, water activities
|
||
(including swimming, wading, floating, canoeing, kayaking,
|
||
paddle-boarding, and baptism in the lake; see Section 5A),
|
||
exposure to variable weather, wildlife, uneven terrain, motorized
|
||
and non-motorized equipment, and group activities. You
|
||
specifically acknowledge that water activities on venue property
|
||
are unsupervised unless explicitly designated as supervised, and
|
||
that personal flotation devices and other personal safety
|
||
equipment are the Attendee's responsibility (see Section 5A).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
By attending, you acknowledge and freely assume all such risks,
|
||
whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, including
|
||
but not limited to risks arising from your choice to bring, or
|
||
to forgo, personal safety equipment, and risks arising from
|
||
participation in any unsupervised or supervised activity. You
|
||
acknowledge that outdoor and recreational activities carry a risk
|
||
of serious bodily injury, illness, property damage, or death, and
|
||
you voluntarily assume that risk for yourself and any minor in your
|
||
care.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>No reliance; "as is."</strong> The Event, the
|
||
venue, and all activities, equipment, services, and
|
||
amenities are provided on an "as is" and "as available"
|
||
basis, without warranty of any kind, express or implied,
|
||
including but not limited to warranties of merchantability,
|
||
fitness for a particular purpose, safety, or non-infringement.
|
||
You acknowledge that you have not relied on any
|
||
representation, statement, or description outside these
|
||
Terms in deciding to attend.
|
||

|
||
<h2>8. Release, Waiver, and Indemnification</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Self-release (adults).</strong> To the maximum extent
|
||
permitted by Idaho law, you, on behalf of yourself and your
|
||
heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, hereby release,
|
||
waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Shiloh LLC and its
|
||
members, managers, officers, and direct employees acting
|
||
within the scope of their employment, and the venue
|
||
operator Boulder Creek Retreat & Training Center and
|
||
its direct employees acting within the scope of their
|
||
employment (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from
|
||
any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action,
|
||
losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable
|
||
attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to any injury,
|
||
illness, loss, or damage to person or property that you
|
||
may sustain at or in connection with the Event, whether
|
||
caused by the negligence of any Released Party or
|
||
otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, "Released Parties"
|
||
does not include any sponsor, vendor, contractor, or
|
||
third party, or the agents, employees, contractors, or
|
||
subcontractors of any sponsor, vendor, contractor, or
|
||
third party, all of whom are excluded from this release
|
||
and from the definition of Released Parties.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Mutual covenant.</strong> The covenant not to sue
|
||
in this Section 8 is mutual: Shiloh LLC likewise agrees not
|
||
to sue any Attendee for ordinary negligence arising from the
|
||
Attendee's participation in the Event, except for claims
|
||
arising from the Attendee's (a) intentional misconduct,
|
||
(b) gross negligence, (c) violation of these Terms, or
|
||
(d) damage to Shiloh property. This mutual covenant does not
|
||
waive any right of indemnity, subrogation, or defense
|
||
otherwise available to Shiloh.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Parent acknowledgment on behalf of minors.</strong> You
|
||
acknowledge and agree that, by bringing a minor child or ward
|
||
to the Event, you assume all risks of injury, illness, loss,
|
||
or damage to that minor arising from or in connection with
|
||
the Event, and you agree to be bound personally by this
|
||
Section 8 with respect to any claim you (in your individual
|
||
capacity) may have on the minor's behalf. <em>Nothing in
|
||
these Terms is intended to release, waive, or discharge any
|
||
claim belonging to a minor child or ward, which only the
|
||
minor (or a court of competent jurisdiction) may release or
|
||
waive.</em> Where Idaho law permits a parent or guardian to
|
||
sign a release on behalf of a minor for a specific activity
|
||
(e.g., the Idaho Equine Activity Liability Act, Idaho Code
|
||
§ 6-1802, for equine activities), that limited release
|
||
applies; it is not extended to activities for which Idaho
|
||
law does not authorize parental release.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Indemnification.</strong> You agree to indemnify,
|
||
defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any
|
||
third-party claims arising out of your acts or omissions at
|
||
the Event, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of
|
||
any law, including any claim brought by or on behalf of a
|
||
minor in your care to the extent permitted by Idaho law.
|
||
<em>Your indemnity obligation does not extend to claims to
|
||
the extent they arise from the sole negligence, gross
|
||
negligence, or willful misconduct of any Released Party,
|
||
except as otherwise required by applicable Idaho law
|
||
(including the indemnity provisions of Idaho's recreational
|
||
and equine liability statutes, where applicable).</em>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Mutual prevailing-party fees.</strong> In any
|
||
dispute between the parties arising under these Terms, the
|
||
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable
|
||
attorneys' fees and costs, to the maximum extent permitted
|
||
by Idaho law. This provision is in addition to, and not in
|
||
lieu of, the indemnification obligations of this Section 8.
|
||
<em>If any claim or proceeding is initiated by an Attendee
|
||
against any Released Party in violation of these Terms
|
||
(including but not limited to claims released under
|
||
Section 8, claims subject to the limitations of
|
||
Sections 10, 12, or 17, or claims that have not satisfied
|
||
the pre-suit notice requirement of Section 12), the Released
|
||
Parties shall be entitled to recover their reasonable
|
||
attorneys' fees and costs incurred in defending against
|
||
such claim, to the maximum extent permitted by Idaho
|
||
law.</em>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Subrogation.</strong> If any claim arising under
|
||
these Terms is covered by insurance held by an Attendee
|
||
(e.g., health, accident, homeowners, or umbrella
|
||
insurance), the Attendee's insurance is the primary payer.
|
||
Shiloh is not liable for any portion of a loss covered by
|
||
the Attendee's own insurance. If Shiloh pays any amount on
|
||
a claim that is later determined to be covered by the
|
||
Attendee's insurance, the Attendee assigns to Shiloh all
|
||
rights of subrogation and reimbursement against that
|
||
insurer, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Third-party beneficiary (venue operator).</strong>
|
||
You acknowledge that the venue is operated by Boulder
|
||
Creek Retreat & Training Center under its own rules,
|
||
terms, and insurance policies. Boulder Creek Retreat &
|
||
Training Center is an intended third-party beneficiary of
|
||
the releases, covenants, and indemnities in this Section 8
|
||
and Section 9, with the right to enforce them directly.
|
||
By attending the Event, you agree to be bound by any
|
||
reasonable rules of the venue operator, including any
|
||
rules posted at the venue or communicated by venue staff.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Joint-tortfeasor credit.</strong> If any claim is
|
||
brought against any party not released under these Terms
|
||
(including but not limited to a third party whose
|
||
negligence, if any, is alleged to have contributed to the
|
||
claimed injury), the Released Parties shall be entitled
|
||
to a credit or set-off equal to the percentage of fault,
|
||
if any, attributed to such non-released party by a court
|
||
of competent jurisdiction or by agreement of the parties.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>No contribution, indemnity, or subrogation by
|
||
third parties.</strong> No third party shall have any
|
||
right of contribution, indemnity, or subrogation against
|
||
any Released Party with respect to any claim released
|
||
under this Section 8, and the Attendee waives any such
|
||
right to the maximum extent permitted by Idaho law.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>9. Idaho Statutory Protections</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive any protection or
|
||
immunity that already applies to Shiloh under Idaho law,
|
||
including:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Idaho Recreational Use Statute, Idaho Code
|
||
§§ 36-1603 to 36-1605</strong> — including the
|
||
warning-sign requirement of § 36-1604 and the
|
||
liability limitations of § 36-1604(d), which
|
||
limits liability of landowners and recreational
|
||
providers who allow the public to use their land
|
||
for recreational purposes without charge (or for a
|
||
nominal fee).
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Idaho Equine Activity Liability Act, Idaho Code
|
||
§ 6-1802</strong> — limits liability for equine (horse) activity
|
||
sponsors and providers for risks inherent to equine activities,
|
||
including but not limited to risks listed in Idaho Code § 6-1803.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Idaho Volunteer Immunity, Idaho Code § 6-1601</strong> —
|
||
provides immunity from civil liability for "volunteers"
|
||
(defined herein as a person who performs services for Shiloh
|
||
or for any Released Party without compensation, other than
|
||
reimbursement of reasonable expenses, and who is not an
|
||
employee, independent contractor, or agent of any for-profit
|
||
entity providing services at the Event) acting in good
|
||
faith and within the scope of their volunteer duties.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Idaho Risk Assumption, Idaho Code § 6-901</strong> —
|
||
codifies the common-law doctrine that a plaintiff who knowingly
|
||
and voluntarily assumes a risk of harm may not recover.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Idaho Firearm and Firearm Accessories and
|
||
Components Protection Act, Idaho Code § 18-3315B</strong>
|
||
— prohibits Idaho government entities from using
|
||
personnel, funds, or resources to enforce federal
|
||
firearm laws that are contrary to Article I, Section
|
||
11 of the Idaho Constitution or the Second Amendment
|
||
of the U.S. Constitution. This reflects the strong
|
||
pro-Second-Amendment posture of Idaho law and of this
|
||
Event.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You acknowledge that the Event may include activities protected by
|
||
these statutes and agree that any claim you bring will be evaluated
|
||
in light of these protections.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>10. Limitation of Liability</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To the maximum extent permitted by Idaho law, in no event shall
|
||
the total aggregate liability of Shiloh LLC and the other
|
||
Released Parties arising out of or related to your attendance at
|
||
the Event exceed the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid
|
||
to Shiloh for your ticket to the Event or (b) US $2,000. This
|
||
limitation applies to all causes of action in the aggregate,
|
||
including but not limited to breach of contract, tort
|
||
(including negligence), strict liability, and any other legal
|
||
or equitable theory. This limitation does not apply to
|
||
liability that cannot be limited or excluded under Idaho law,
|
||
including claims that may not be released as a matter of
|
||
public policy. The dollar cap in this Section shall be
|
||
adjusted on January 1 of each year by the percentage change
|
||
in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
|
||
for the West region, or 3%, whichever is greater, beginning
|
||
January 1, 2027.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>11. Release of Likeness</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The Event is photographed and filmed. By attending, you grant
|
||
Shiloh LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to
|
||
use photographs, video, and audio in which you appear for
|
||
promotional, archival, and editorial purposes. The license
|
||
runs for the duration of the Event and for two (2) years
|
||
from the date the photograph or recording was made, after
|
||
which the Attendee's likeness will not be used in new
|
||
promotional materials except with the Attendee's renewed
|
||
consent. The Attendee may opt out at any time by submitting
|
||
a written request to
|
||
<a href="mailto:hello@shilohecho.org">hello@shilohecho.org</a>.
|
||
We will honor timely opt-out requests and will use reasonable
|
||
efforts to remove previously published images on request,
|
||
subject to technical and operational limits. The license
|
||
includes the right to (a) livestream or broadcast the Event
|
||
in real time, (b) include Attendee likenesses in
|
||
compilations, montages, and derivative works, (c) license
|
||
the resulting content to sponsors and Event partners for
|
||
promotional use, and (d) distribute via social media and
|
||
other digital channels. The license does not include the
|
||
right to use any Attendee's likeness in a manner that is
|
||
false, defamatory, or that constitutes a commercial
|
||
endorsement by the Attendee of any specific product or
|
||
service.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Minors.</strong> For any minor child or ward in your
|
||
care, you may withdraw the likeness license for that minor
|
||
at any time by written request to the email above, and we
|
||
will use reasonable efforts to remove the minor's images
|
||
from active promotional use. To facilitate on-site
|
||
identification, Attendees who do not wish to be photographed
|
||
may identify themselves at check-in by wearing a wristband
|
||
issued by Event staff. See our Privacy Policy for additional
|
||
information.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>12. Disputes, Venue, and Jurisdiction</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Forum and venue.</strong> Any dispute, claim, or
|
||
controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the
|
||
Event, including any question regarding its existence, validity,
|
||
or termination, shall be brought exclusively in the state courts
|
||
located in <strong>Boundary County, Idaho</strong>, or, if federal
|
||
jurisdiction exists, in the United States District Court for the
|
||
District of Idaho. You hereby consent to the exclusive
|
||
jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection to
|
||
such venue, including any argument of inconvenient forum.
|
||
Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims arising under federal
|
||
law that do not permit forum-selection waivers (including but
|
||
not limited to claims under the Americans with Disabilities
|
||
Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, and
|
||
any other federal statute that does not permit such waivers)
|
||
may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. If any
|
||
party to a dispute is a member of a federally recognized
|
||
Indian tribe, and the dispute falls within the jurisdiction of
|
||
that tribe's court, the parties acknowledge that tribal court
|
||
may have concurrent jurisdiction; nothing in this Section is
|
||
intended to divest any tribal court of jurisdiction it would
|
||
otherwise have.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Pre-suit notice.</strong> Before filing any lawsuit, you
|
||
agree to provide Shiloh with written notice of the dispute at
|
||
<a href="mailto:hello@shilohecho.org">hello@shilohecho.org</a>
|
||
describing the claim in reasonable detail and a good-faith
|
||
opportunity of at least sixty (60) days to resolve it. The
|
||
60-day period is tolled during any period in which the
|
||
Attendee is incapacitated or otherwise unable to provide
|
||
notice due to the injury or illness that is the subject of
|
||
the claim.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Time limitation on claims.</strong> Any claim
|
||
arising out of or related to the Event or these Terms must
|
||
be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action
|
||
accrues, except for claims subject to a shorter statute of
|
||
limitations under applicable law. Claims not brought
|
||
within this period are forever barred, regardless of any
|
||
tolling doctrine, except to the extent such shortening is
|
||
unenforceable under applicable law. This provision does
|
||
not apply to claims for collection of amounts owed to
|
||
Shiloh or to claims arising from a breach of these Terms
|
||
by Shiloh.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Class-action waiver.</strong> You agree to bring any
|
||
dispute on an individual basis only and not as a class action,
|
||
consolidated action, or representative action.
|
||
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this class-action waiver
|
||
does not apply to claims for which a class-action waiver
|
||
is unenforceable as a matter of law.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Jury-trial waiver (to the extent permitted by
|
||
law).</strong> For any dispute that proceeds in a forum that
|
||
permits it, you knowingly and voluntarily waive any right to a
|
||
trial by jury. If this waiver is found unenforceable in whole
|
||
or in part, the parties agree that any trial shall be
|
||
before a court sitting without a jury (bench trial) to the
|
||
maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Cooperation and recording.</strong> Before
|
||
initiating any claim, the Attendee agrees to cooperate
|
||
in good faith with any reasonable investigation by
|
||
Shiloh, including providing a written statement,
|
||
photographs, and access to relevant evidence. Material
|
||
failure to cooperate may be considered by a court in
|
||
determining the Attendee's good faith and the weight
|
||
of evidence. If an Attendee makes any recording of
|
||
communications with Event staff, the Attendee agrees
|
||
to provide a complete copy of the recording to Shiloh
|
||
within fourteen (14) days of the recording and to
|
||
identify all persons present during the recording.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Document retention.</strong> Shiloh retains
|
||
Event records, including incident reports, signed
|
||
acknowledgments, and security-camera footage, in
|
||
accordance with its standard document-retention policy.
|
||
Routine destruction of records older than three (3)
|
||
years is not spoliation.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>13. Force Majeure</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Neither party shall be liable for failure or delay in performance
|
||
caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but
|
||
not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, wildfire, severe
|
||
weather, fire, flood, earthquake, pandemic, epidemic, public-health
|
||
order, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strike, labor dispute,
|
||
governmental action, internet or utility failure, or supply-chain
|
||
disruption.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Speaker cancellations, vendor failures, equipment
|
||
malfunctions, and similar commercial disruptions are not
|
||
grounds for a refund unless the Event is canceled in
|
||
full, except as set out in Section 3. In the event of a
|
||
partial cancellation, modification, or substitution of
|
||
any scheduled speaker, vendor, or activity, the
|
||
Attendee's sole remedy is a partial refund or credit at
|
||
Shiloh's discretion, and the no-consequential-damages
|
||
provision of Section 4 applies in full.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>14. Severability & Entire Agreement</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent
|
||
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall
|
||
be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining
|
||
provisions shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms,
|
||
together with the Privacy Policy and any ticket-purchase
|
||
confirmation, constitute the entire agreement between you and
|
||
Shiloh with respect to the Event and supersede all prior or
|
||
contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or
|
||
written.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>15. Changes to These Terms</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
We may update these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date
|
||
above reflects the most recent revision. <strong>Changes take
|
||
effect immediately upon posting</strong> unless a later effective
|
||
date is stated in the change. We will use commercially reasonable
|
||
efforts to email ticket holders of material changes, but failure
|
||
to receive or read such email does not affect the binding nature
|
||
of the updated Terms, which you agree to monitor. Continued
|
||
attendance at the Event after a change is posted constitutes
|
||
acceptance of the updated Terms, regardless of whether you have
|
||
received individual notice. The most recently posted version of
|
||
these Terms, as reflected by the "Last updated" date, supersedes
|
||
any prior version, including any printed, saved, or cached copy.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Definition of "material."</strong> For purposes
|
||
of this Section, a change is "material" if it (a) increases
|
||
an Attendee's financial obligation under these Terms;
|
||
(b) reduces an Attendee's rights under these Terms;
|
||
(c) changes an age restriction in any activity;
|
||
(d) changes a safety protocol for any activity;
|
||
(e) modifies the activity list; or (f) modifies the
|
||
refund, cancellation, or dispute-resolution provisions.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>16. Governing Law</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the
|
||
laws of the <strong>State of Idaho</strong>, without regard to its
|
||
conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on
|
||
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>17. Severability of Liability Limitations</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If any liability limitation, release, or waiver in these Terms is
|
||
found unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent
|
||
jurisdiction, the parties intend that the remaining limitations,
|
||
releases, or waivers remain in full force and effect, and that the
|
||
unenforceable provision be reformed only to the minimum extent
|
||
necessary to make it enforceable.
