Cancellation Policy

If you must cancel your participation, you must notify Elizabeth Expresses at least 90 days before the first day of the event. In that case, you will receive a full refund of paid fees minus a 25% administrative charge. After that 90-day cutoff date, refunds will only be issued if a qualified replacement participant is found. If Elizabeth Expresses cancels the event for any reason, all registered participants will be notified promptly, and Elizabeth Expresses will refund all fees/deposits paid. Elizabeth Expresses is not responsible for losses related to travel, non-refundable tickets, accommodations, or other third-party costs. It is because of this that it is recommended you purchase refundable airline tickets whenever applicable.

I hereby release, waive, discharge, and agree not to sue Elizabeth Expresses, its agents, representatives, employees, successors, or assigns, for any claims, liabilities, demands, or causes of action arising from or relating to personal injury, death, property damage, or other losses that may result from my participation or travel, whether caused by negligence (unless gross negligence or willful misconduct is proven), third parties, or otherwise.

4 - Transportation & Travel

If Elizabeth Expresses helps arrange or suggest transportation or logistics, I understand that ultimate responsibility for safe travel lies with the driver, carrier, or myself. I release Elizabeth Expresses from liability for any travel-related incidents beyond its control.

For valuable consideration, I grant Elizabeth Expresses, its licensees, successors, agents, or assigns the irrevocable, worldwide right to use, publish, reproduce, display, distribute, and otherwise exploit any photographs, digital images, video, or audio recordings in which I appear (in whole or in part), in any media (print, digital, online, social, promotional).

I waive any right to inspect or approve the finished product or its use, and I waive any claim for compensation or royalties for such usage.

I release Elizabeth Expresses (and affiliated parties) from any claims arising from use of my likeness (including claims for invasion of privacy, defamation, or publicity rights), except in cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

8 - Severability

If any term or provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force to the extent permitted by law, and that invalid provision may be reformulated to reflect the original intent.
