These terms and conditions (the “Event Terms”) govern attendance and participation in events listed on XPOBAZAAR.com, including parties, promotions, and contests. As used throughout these Event Terms, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and “XPOBAZAAR.com” refer to XPOBAZAAR and its entities. The term “XPOBAZAAR Event” means an event, gathering, promotion, contest, meet-up or the like that is organized or hosted by XPOBAZAAR. “Non-XPOBAZAAR Event” means an event, gathering, promotion, contest, meet-up or the like that is organized by someone other than XPOBAZAAR but that may appear or be listed on our website.
In order to participate or attend XPOBAZAAR Event, you must first agree to these Event Terms. If, after reading these Event Terms, you find that you cannot or will not agree to any terms or conditions within it, please do not RSVP to or attend any XPOBAZAAR Event. If you RSVP to any XPOBAZAAR or Non-XPOBAZAAR Event through XPOBAZAAR.com (e.g., by clicking “I’m Going!” or messaging an event organizer), you signal that you have read, understand, and agree to these Event Terms.
QUALIFICATIONS

PHOTOS
XPOBAZAAR and its sponsors and vendors sometimes take photos and videos at XPOBAZAAR Events, and later use them for promotional purposes. By participating or attending any XPOBAZAAR Event, you agree that you may appear in some of these photos and videos, and you authorize their use in this fashion. On the flip side, if you take any photos or videos of attendees at a XPOBAZAAR Event and provide them to us, you authorize us to use them in the same fashion, and represent that the attendees that appear in your photos and videos have also consented to such use.
We do not control Non-XPOBAZAAR Events or the people that organize them. It is possible that organizers or attendees of Non-XPOBAZAAR Events will take photos or shoot videos in which you appear and then post them online (including, possibly, on XPOBAZAAR.com). By RSVP’ing to a Non-XPOBAZAAR Event through XPOBAZAAR, you authorize our use of such media for promotional purposes.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK / RELEASE OF LIABILITY / INDEMNITY
Assumption of Risk
Although we try to create a safe environment at XPOBAZAAR Events, accidents or other bad things happen, even to good people. We ask that you do your part to help limit the possibility that you might get injured at a XPOBAZAAR Event. You agree to carefully consider the inherent risks in any activities that you choose to take part in and to take reasonable precautions before you choose to attend or participate at a XPOBAZAAR Event. For example, you should ensure that you are in good physical health before engaging in any physical activity at a XPOBAZAAR Event, and you should always drink responsibly given the risks associated with drunk driving and participating in activities while your judgment is impaired. Second, please note that some of the other XPOBAZAAR Event guests may be less responsible than you, and may themselves create additional risk to you despite their best intentions.
In sum, you understand that your attendance and participation at XPOBAZAAR Events is voluntary, and you agree to assume responsibility for any resulting injuries to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. By the same token, you agree that XPOBAZAAR.com is not responsible for any injuries or accidents that you might sustain at Non-XPOBAZAAR Events listed on XPOBAZAAR website.
Release of Liability
You (for yourself, your heirs, personal representatives, or assigns, and anyone else who might make a claim on your behalf) hereby release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue XPOBAZAAR and its respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, members, agents, employees, vendors, sponsors, and volunteers from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses or expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys fees) which may arise out of, result from, or relate in any way to your attendance at any XPOBAZAAR or Non-XPOBAZAAR Event, except, of course, for any gross negligence or willful misconduct on our part.
Indemnity
By the same token, you agree to indemnify and hold XPOBAZAAR, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives harmless, including costs, liabilities and legal fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to, related to, or connected with your attendance or conduct at any XPOBAZAAR or Non-XPOBAZAAR Event.
TERMINATION
While we hope not to, we may prohibit your attendance at any XPOBAZAAR Event at any time if you fail to abide by these Event Terms, the Terms of Service, or for any or no reason, without notice or liability of any kind. In the event of any termination, whether by you or us, all Sections of this Event Terms will continue in full force and effect.
CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE
Gambia law will govern these Event Terms, as well as any claim, cause of action or dispute that might arise between you and XPOBAZAAR (a “Claim”), without regard to conflict of law provisions. FOR ANY CLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY, YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT AND CONSENT TO THE PERSONAL AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IN, AND THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF, THE STATE COURTS LOCATED WITHIN THE GAMBIA.
GENERAL TERMS
You agree that you will not represent yourself as an employee, representative, or agent of XPOBAZAAR.com (unless, of course, you are actually employed by XPOBAZAAR, in which case these Event Terms will govern your participation in any XPOBAZAAR Event to the extent such Terms are not inconsistent with our standard employment agreements or policies). We reserve the right to cancel any XPOBAZAAR Event at any time, for any reason, and without liability or prejudice. Any failure on our part to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Event Terms does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Event Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Event Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
UNOFFICIAL XPOBAZAAR EVENTS
From time to time, members of XPOBAZAAR may organize their own meet-ups and events (sometimes called “UXE” or “Unofficial XPOBAZAAR Events”). Although XPOBAZAAR.com representatives sometimes join in the fun, UXEs are Non-XPOBAZAAR Events and are not sponsored or endorsed by XPOBAZAAR, even when they are promoted on our website. If you organize a UXE, you agree to (a) promote it as such, and (b) not create the impression that it is sponsored or endorsed by XPOBAZAAR. All terms and conditions relating to Non-XPOBAZAAR Events apply equally to UXEs.
