2 Voluntary Participation & Inherent Risks

Participation in the Activities is entirely voluntary. You acknowledge and agree that the Activities involve physical exertion and carry inherent risks of personal injury, property damage, or death that cannot be fully eliminated, even when reasonable safety measures are in place.

Inherent risks include, without limitation:

• Falls, slips, collisions with other participants or structures;
• Impact injuries from inflatable surfaces, walls, or equipment;
• Overexertion, fatigue, or dehydration;
• Weather-related incidents including heat, sun exposure, or sudden storms;
• Injuries arising from misuse of equipment or failure to follow posted rules;
• Contact with other Participants, including children.

By attending the Event, you voluntarily assume full and personal responsibility for all such risks, and you acknowledge that you participate at your own risk.

3 Release of Liability & Waiver — INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you, for yourself and on behalf of your heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or causes of action of any nature whatsoever — including those arising from the negligence of the Released Parties — which arise out of or in any way relate to:

• Your participation in any Activity at the Event;
• Your presence at Garrison Grounds or any Event venue;
• Any personal injury (including death), illness, or loss of or damage to property;
• The conduct, acts, or omissions of any Released Party, including acts of negligence.

You specifically acknowledge that this waiver and release is intended to include claims arising from the negligence of the Released Parties, to the extent permitted by law. This release does not apply to claims arising from the gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Released Parties, as such claims may not be excluded by contract under applicable Nova Scotia law.

This waiver is intended to comply with the Occupiers' Liability Act, RSNS 1989, c 322, and represents a modification of the standard of care owed to Participants in accordance with that Act, to the extent such modification is legally permissible.

4 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, proceedings, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees on a solicitor-and-own-client basis) arising out of or relating to:

• Your conduct or the conduct of any minor in your care at the Event;
• Your breach of these Terms and Conditions;
• Any injury to a third party caused by your actions or the actions of a minor in your care;
• Any property damage caused by you or a minor in your care.

5 Minors — Informed Consent & Parental Responsibility

If you are the parent or legal guardian of a minor (under 19 years of age in Nova Scotia) attending the Event, you agree to the following:

• You have read and understood these Terms and Conditions in their entirety;
• You consent to your minor child's participation in the Activities and acknowledge all risks described herein on the minor's behalf;
• You accept personal responsibility for ensuring your minor child complies with all safety rules and staff instructions at all times;
• Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied and actively supervised by a responsible adult at all times (maximum 4 children per adult);
• You will not allow any minor in your care to participate in any Activity for which they do not meet the posted height, weight, age, or physical requirements;
• You acknowledge that the Organizers' ability to supervise individual children is limited and that the primary duty of supervision rests with you.

Nothing in this section shall be construed as a waiver of any minor's independent legal rights. The minor's personal release of claims, to the extent enforceable, is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law.

6 Health & Physical Condition

By participating in the Activities, you confirm that:

• You are in good physical health and have no medical condition that would make participation unsafe;
• You have consulted a physician if you have any health concerns prior to participating;
• You will inform Event staff immediately if you or a minor in your care becomes unwell during the Event;
• You will not consume alcohol or controlled substances before or during participation in any Activity.

7 Conduct, Safety Rules & Removal

All Participants must comply with:

• All posted safety signage and rules at each attraction;
• Verbal instructions issued by Event staff and operators at all times;
• Staff weight, height, and age restrictions for each attraction.

The Organizers reserve the right, in their sole and absolute discretion, to refuse entry or remove any Participant from the Event, without refund, for unsafe, disruptive, threatening, or inappropriate behaviour, or for failure to comply with safety requirements. This includes intoxicated individuals who pose a safety risk.

8 Weather, Cancellation & Rescheduling

The Event is conducted outdoors and is weather-dependent. The Organizers, in their sole discretion, may suspend, modify, postpone, or cancel all or any part of the Event due to unsafe weather conditions, force majeure events, governmental directives, or other circumstances beyond their reasonable control.

In such circumstances, the Released Parties shall not be liable for any damages, costs, or losses — including travel costs, accommodation, or indirect losses — incurred by Participants as a result. Any refund or rescheduling policy will be communicated exclusively through the Event's official social media channels and website. Ticket purchase terms are subject to Eventbrite's applicable policies.

9 Occupiers' Liability

The Event is organized in cooperation with the operators of the Garrison Grounds, Halifax, NS. The Organizers, in their capacity as occupiers or co-occupiers of the Event premises for the duration of the Event, owe a duty of care to Participants pursuant to the Occupiers' Liability Act, RSNS 1989, c 322.

By attending the Event, you acknowledge and agree that the standard of care owed to you under the Act is modified by these Terms and Conditions to the extent expressly authorized by section 4 of that Act, and you accept the reduced standard of care in respect of ordinary negligence claims as described in Section 3 above. Nothing herein shall be read to reduce the Organizers' obligation to avoid reckless disregard for the safety of Participants as required by applicable law.

10 Photography, Video & Media

By attending the Event, you grant the Organizers and their authorized representatives a royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual licence to photograph, film, record, and use your image, likeness, and voice, and that of any minor in your care, in any media format for the purposes of marketing, promotion, advertising, news coverage, and documentation of the Event, without further notice or compensation to you. If you do not wish to be photographed, you must notify Event staff upon entry.

11 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by the laws of Nova Scotia, the total aggregate liability of the Released Parties to any individual Participant for any and all claims arising under or related to these Terms or the Event shall not exceed the face value of the ticket(s) purchased by that Participant. In no event shall any Released Party be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages of any kind, regardless of the legal theory on which such claim is based.

12 Ticket as Evidence of Agreement

Your ticket to the Event serves as evidence that you have been given notice of, and have agreed to, these Terms and Conditions prior to participation. These Terms are displayed at the Event entrance and are published at ecpalooza.ca/terms. Participation in any Activity after being given the opportunity to review these Terms constitutes your acceptance of them.

The Organizers strongly recommend that physical copies of a signed waiver be obtained at the point of entry for each Participant, particularly for Activities with elevated physical risk, as an additional layer of evidentiary support.

13 Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in whole or in part, that provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect without modification. The invalid provision shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent of the parties.

14 Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia and the applicable federal laws of Canada. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Nova Scotia for the resolution of any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Event, and waives any objection to the laying of venue in such courts.

15 Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, together with any additional rules or safety notices posted at the Event, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Organizers with respect to your attendance at the Event, and supersede all prior communications, representations, or understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the same subject matter.
