Should any of the Indemnified Parties incur any expense or become obligated to pay any attorney’s fees or court costs in connection with reviewing, analyzing, compromising or defending any claims or demands arising out of the subject matter with respect to which indemnification is provided by this Agreement, or for purposes of enforcing this Agreement, I agree to reimburse such Indemnified Party for such expenses, attorney’s fees, or costs within a reasonable time, in no event to exceed ten days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party of such expenses, attorney’s fees, or costs.

WAIVER AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I understand and am aware that my participation in the Retreat involves risks. These risks may lead to tangible or intangible harm, including but, not limited to, injury, permanent harm, or death. I agree that such harm may result not only from my own actions but also from the actions of others. I understand and expressly acknowledge that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any place where people are present. I am also aware that there are risks that I may not have considered.

I waive for myself and for my executors, personal representatives, administrators, assignees, insurers, heirs, and next of kin any and all rights and claims for damages, injuries, losses, demands, and any other actions or claims, except for acts of gross negligence or willful or wanton conduct, that I may have against any of the Indemnified Parties arising out of, related to, or connected with

(1) the Retreat;

(2) my use of any equipment or personal property used as part of the Retreat;

(3) the Premises, including, but not limited to, any latent defects in the Premises; and

(4) my personal property (whether or not entrusted to any Indemnified Party). The Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for, and I on behalf of myself, my executors, personal representatives, administrators, assignees, insurers, heirs, and next of kin, release the Indemnified Parties from any and all such claims and liabilities, except for acts of gross negligence or willful or wanton conduct.

MISCELLANEOUS

I am over 18 years of age and am emotionally, medically and physically able to enter into this Agreement and to participate in the Retreat. This Agreement binds me and my executors, personal representatives, administrators, assignees, insurers, heirs, and next of kin.

I expressly agree that this Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by law, and that if any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be impaired thereby.

I expressly give the Indemnified Parties permission to use photographs and/or video of me taken in and during the Retreat/Conference/Event for the purposes of advertising and/or promoting GoddessCon and Goddess Community Inc.

I agree that this Agreement shall be construed, interpreted, and governed by the laws of the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, without regard to conflicts of law principles. I agree that any lawsuit arising out of this Agreement or out of my participation in the Retreat or activities of any of the Indemnified Parties, shall be brought in Nova Scotia.

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Tickets are paid in full at the time of purchase. If you choose a payment plan with Klarna or Affirm you are entering into an agreement with that company and must abide by the terms and conditions of the agreement you choose. Payments plans are not managed by GoddessCon and we are not able to help with them in any way.

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY

Tickets are non-refundable. Please contact us to transfer your ticket to a new name. If you are unable to attend the retreat due to illness or other extenuating circumstances your ticket may be deferred to GoddessCon 2026.

PROGRAMME CHANGES

We reserve the right to make necessary changes to the GoddessCon schedule, workshop leaders, speakers or any other programming at any time, including dates, times, activity schedule and locations. This is unlikely but might be caused by bad weather conditions or a speaker becoming suddenly unavailable. If the Fire Walk is cancelled due to bad weather we will do our best to reschedule the event for another time but there is no guarantee that the Fire Walk will take place if weather does not support the event.

SAFETY

GoddessCon aims to be a safe and uplifting community for adults 19+ and a 2SLGBTQIA+ safe space. (Never guaranteed but we'll do everything we can to make it so.) Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. We will do everything we can to make the Retreat/Conference/Event safe however we do not take responsibility for other people's behavior and will not be held liable for such behavior. GoddessCon is a SOBER event but is being held in hotel private and public spaces, including the lobby which has a bar. We will not police alcohol use, however, anyone acting disrespectfully or inappropriately will be asked to leave.
