Genius Loci FEST 2017

This is a call for all adventure seekers to once again converge on the beautiful coast of Baja Mexico for Genius Loci. Last year the rugged surroundings and pristine surf helped foster an intimate bonding environment that quickly became the stuff of legends.

For 2017, Genius Loci will continue to be a carefully curated intimate event complete with a fantastic music lineup, yoga taught by amazing instructors, environmental workshops, and surf lessons.

We are excited to once again travel off the grid and share with you the spirit of adventure, creativity, community, and activism.

Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions, Waiver, and Release Form (“Terms and Conditions”)

In consideration of being allowed to participate in and attend the 2017 Genius Loci FEST event (the “Event” or the “Genius Loci FEST Event”), I agree to comply with any and all rules, regulations, terms, and conditions of the Genius Loci FEST Event, including but not limited to the following:

1. I certify that I am physically able to participate in the Genius Loci FEST Event and in any associated activity or performance, and that I have not been advised otherwise by a qualified medical professional.

2. 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 Genius Loci FEST Event and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, volunteers, contractors, and/or affiliates (collectively, “GLF”) 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 GLF 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 2017 Genius Loci FEST EVENT, AND HEREBY FOREVER RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND HOLD GLF HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM SUCH RISK, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF GLF, OR FROM THIRD PARTIES, AND I ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR MY PARTICIPATION.

3. I understand that during the Genius Loci FEST Event, art installations, theme camps, vehicles (including but not limited to “mutant vehicles” and “art cars”), events and performances will be held and/or on display and I understand that most of these activities are not owned or operated by GLF. I ASSUME ALL RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH ARISING FROM THEIR OPERATION AND FROM PARTICIPATION IN ANY OF THESE ACTIVITIES, AND THE RELEASE IN SECTION 2 APPLIES TO ANY INJURY I MIGHT SUSTAIN RELATING TO MY PARTICIPATION IN ANY OF THESE ACTIVITIES.

4. I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, hereby waive, release, discharge, and agree not to sue GLF, its officers, directors, members, employees, volunteers, representatives, agents, contractors and subcontractors, and other participants, sponsors, affiliates, and if applicable, owners and lessors of equipment, art installations and premises used to conduct the Genius Loci FEST 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 use and/or participation in the Genius Loci FEST Event, including 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. However, if Genius Loci FEST files a claim against me, 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 Genius Loci FEST Event, including in any program, event or activity 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.

5. By entering the Genius Loci FEST 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 Genius Loci FEST and have long been an important part of Genius Loci FEST’s storytelling history. GLF monitors dissemination of Event Imagery for two primary reasons: (1) to preserve the principle of Decommodification by ensuring that photographs and videos from the Genius Loci FEST Event are not used for advertising or commercial purposes; and (2) 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; (2) displaying on personal websites (as long as the website does not sell any product or service, and does not purport or appear to be an official website of Genius Loci FEST or Genius Loci FEST, LLC); and (3) displaying on personal accounts on photosharing and social networking websites, such as Flickr and Facebook (as long as the display of the Event Imagery on these sites is not commercial or promotional in any manner and the account is not affiliated with any commercial enterprise).

I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THAT I MAY NOT MAKE ANY USE OF EVENT IMAGERY WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM GLF, 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. Without the prior written consent of GLF, I understand that I may not use in any advertisement, promotional materials (including music videos), or in the title or on the cover of any publication designed for public dissemination (other than blog posts), any (1) Event Imagery, (2) logos, trademarks, or other intellectual property owned or licensed by GLF, including the phrase “Genius Loci FEST.”

I assign to GLF a joint ownership in the copyright to my Event Imagery for the purpose of enabling GLF to enforce that copyright against any third party that displays or disseminates any of my Event Imagery in a manner not authorized by these Terms and Conditions. I appoint GLF as my attorney-in-fact to execute any documents necessary to effectuate such assignment. GLF agrees that it will not utilize this joint copyright to enter into any licensing agreements for the Event Imagery. Since I understand that, in the absence of written permission from GLF, 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 GLF, I agree that any permission, license, or rights I may have granted this third party is completely void and invalid and that GLF has the absolute right, as joint copyright owner, to require the third party to cease all use of the Event Imagery.

The Genius Loci FEST community grows primarily by word of mouth. GLF does little to solicit attention from media companies about the Genius Loci FEST Event, and does not seek to grow the Event by exposure through the mass media. GLF does continue to support the presence of the press, and to encourage the free expression of news reporters, storytellers, small groups documenting special projects, cultural or fine art photographers, and creative authors/researchers or academics looking at Genius Loci FEST from an anthropological perspective, but all such uses require a written agreement with GLF in order to use Event Imagery.

2. I hereby appoint GLF as my representative to protect my intellectual property or privacy rights, recognizing that GLF has no obligation to take any such action. I understand that if GLF files a lawsuit to protect my intellectual property or privacy rights pursuant to the appointment in this Section 8, and GLF has information that my specific intellectual property or privacy rights have been violated and also has information as to my identity and my contact information, GLF will make reasonable efforts to notify me of any such action by sending a communication to the contact information in GLF’s possession.

If I have obtained a ticket and/or vehicle pass from another person, I also agree to these Terms and Conditions when the ticket and/or vehicle pass is delivered to me.

9. I agree that GLF is not liable for acts of God, the weather, strikes, protests, or actions taken by government agencies and similar causes. I understand that tickets and vehicle passes are nonrefundable even if the Event is terminated early or canceled, or entry conditions are modified, due to harsh weather, acts of nature, governmental regulation, the failure to obtain required governmental permits, or conditions beyond GLF’s control.

10. I understand that (1) I must bring enough food, water, shelter, and first aid to survive the duration of the Event in a harsh desert environment; (2) fireworks, rockets, and other explosives are prohibited; (3) this is a LEAVE NO TRACE, pack it IN, pack it OUT event; and (4) I am asked to contribute 2 hours of playa cleanup in addition to cleaning up my own camp.

13. Refund and Cancellation Policy

All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges will be issued for any reason. Fees are non-refundable.

1. Ticket Sales

Once you successfully purchase tickets and your credit card is charged, you cannot cancel or withdraw your ticket order, and as with all ticket sales, the sale is final. If your credit card is declined by the credit card company for any reason, the sale to you will not be processed and you will not receive any tickets.

Once you have purchased tickets through any sale (other than a sale that specifies additional purchases may be permitted in later sales, such as a higher-priced pre-sale), you will be ineligible to purchase any other tickets. Purchase in any sale, including the pre-sale, will disqualify you from being awarded a ticket through our Low Income ticket program.

For any ticket or ticket process registrations, if for any reason whatsoever, including computer or software malfunction, mistake or inadvertence, network congestion or crashes, you are not able to purchase any tickets or vehicle passes through the sale process, or your registration for a sale or the purchase of tickets or vehicle passes is not processed, or you receive a notice that your ticket purchase or ticket registration is rescinded, revoked, canceled, or made in error and your credit card payment is credited to your credit card account, you waive any claim against GLF and release GLF from any and all liability.

GLF retains the right to cancel, rescind or revoke any ticket purchases at any time for any reason whatsoever at GLF’s sole discretion.

1. Ingress and Egress to the Event

Due to the remote location of the Event, the vehicle capacity limitations of the roads leading to the Event location, and restrictions placed by the government on maximum population at the Event, you may be subject to slight delays in entry to the Event and in leaving the Event. Be prepared for short waits on the roads in leaving the Event during Exodus, and short waits at the Gate before entry into the Event if GLF delays entry based on its determination that the maximum population has been reached.

23. Security and Privacy

1. These Terms and Conditions may be changed by GLF prior to the Event, and if so, the revised Terms and Conditions will apply to you. The most current version can be found at www.geniuslocifest.com Your use of the ticket for entry to the Event signifies your binding agreement to the Terms and Conditions in effect at the time of your entry to the Event.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY, I UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS, AND I DO SO KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT OR DURESS.
