In consideration of being permitted to attend KCON, you and/or your parent/legal guardian hereby acknowledge and agree to the following terms of this General Waiver and Limitation of Liability (the “Waiver”):
- I have read, understand, and agree to abide by these Rules and Policies, which are incorporated into this Waiver as set forth herein.
- I understand and agree that this Waiver, along with the Rules and Policies, apply to me at all times before, during and after KCON.
- I understand and agree that my failure to abide by the Rules and Policies, or any instructions of KCON staff, Convention venue staff, Concert venue staff, security, officials, officers, or any other persons affiliated with or acting for or on behalf of CJ, KCON, the venues, or the City of Los Angeles, may subject me to forfeiture of my KCON ticket(s) and/or Convention voucher(s) without refund.
- I understand that my attendance and participation in activities at KCON is voluntary and that some activities (e.g., dancing, Artist Engagements, Red Carpet) may involve risks, including physical injury (temporary or permanent), death, damage to property, loss of property, and other damages or losses. As a condition of my being permitted to attend KCON or participate in any activities, I assume and accept all risks of harm, loss or injury, and waive the right to claim any damages whatsoever resulting from, arising from, or in connection with my attendance at KCON or participation in any activities.
- I understand and agree that CJ shall not be held responsible for any loss or theft of my property during KCON. I understand that it is my responsibility to be mindful of my property at all times.
- I understand and agree that if I damage any real or personal property in any manner or extent during KCON, including but not limited to the property owned by the Convention venue or Concert venue, I will be solely responsible for the cost of repairs and/or replacement of such damaged property.
- I hereby waive and release, indemnify and forever hold harmless CJ, the Convention venue, the Concert venue, the City of Los Angeles, their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (the “Released Parties”) from any and all disputes, claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, causes of action, lawsuits, attorneys’ fees, and/or claims of every kind and nature (“Disputes”), whether known or unknown, in law or equity, that I ever had or may have, arising out of or in connection to my attendance or participation at KCON, including any acts or omissions by third parties such as medical providers, emergency personnel, and food and beverage vendors.
- I acknowledge that I have read and understand the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” Being aware of such statutory right, by participating in KCON, I expressly waive any rights under California Civil Code Section 1542 as well as any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.
- I agree that any and all Disputes arising out of or in connection to my attendance or participation at KCON shall be determined by confidential binding arbitration, in accordance with the arbitration rules of JAMS to be held in Los Angeles County, California, before a single neutral arbitrator. I agree that the laws of the State of California shall apply to and govern any Disputes, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. No waiver of any breach or default of the terms herein shall be effective unless in writing signed by you and CJ. If any provision herein is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by an enforceable provision that most closely meets the commercial intent of the parties.
I submit this Waiver of my own free will, free of any pressure, duress or threat of duress. I have read this Waiver carefully, understand it, and understand I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I agree to be legally bound by it and intend by signature to be a complete and unconditional release of CJ of all liability to the maximum extent permitted by law. I agree that no certification authority or other third-party verification is required to validate my electronic signature, and that the lack of such certification or third-party verification shall not in any way AFFECT the enforceability of this Waiver.
Parent/Legal Guardian’s Additional Release for Minor Attendees
I represent and warrant that I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor attending KCON and hereby give permission for my child to attend and participate in activities at KCON. I acknowledge that I have read this Waiver on behalf of me and my minor child, understand it, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I agree to be legally bound by it and intend by signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the maximum extent permitted by law.
