Ahoy, ye scallywags and sea dogs! Below be the official terms and conditions for the Grand Pirate Festival—lest ye wish to face the wrath of Davy Jones himself!
—
🏴☠️ Pirate Festival Terms & Conditions
1. Entry & Conduct
– “No Lubbers Allowed!” – All attendees must speak like pirates or risk being forced to walk the plank (metaphorically).
– “Parley or Perish!” – Any disputes shall be settled by arm-wrestling, rum-drinking, or a game of dice—no landlubber lawyers!
– “The Captain’s Word Be Law!” – Festival organizers (the “Captain’s Council”) have final say in all matters. Mutiny is punishable by keelhauling (just kidding… maybe).
2. Treasure & Trades
– “All Booty is Fair Game!” – Vendors and traders must pay a 10% “Captain’s Tax” (in gold doubloons or rum).
– “No Swindlin’!” – Cheating at games of chance will result in **being marooned on the nearest desert island (or kicked out).
– “Finders Keepers!” – Any lost treasure (items) not claimed by sunset becomes property of the Festival Treasury.
3. Grog & Grub
– “Drink Responsibly… Or Not!” – The festival takes no blame for pirates who see mermaids after too much grog.
– “No Watered-Down Rum!” – Any tavern caught cheating on drink quality will be cursed with the Black Spot.
– “Feast Like a King (or Starve Like a Bilge Rat)!” – Food is first-come, first-served. Latecomers get hardtack and weevils.
4. Events & Entertainment
– “Cannon Fire at Dawn!” – The festival begins with a cannon blast—no whining about the noise!
– “Duel at High Noon!” – Scheduled sword fights are foam swords only (real steel means real trouble).
– “Dance or Die!” – All pirates must attempt at least one jig during the shanty performances. Refusal = singing a sea ballad in the stocks.
5. The Pirate’s Oath
By entering, ye swear on the Jolly Roger to:
– Talk like a pirate (or pay a fine in gold).
– Respect the Code (or sleep with the fishes).
– Leave no treasure behind (clean up yer mess, ye filthy bilge rat!).
Violators will be forced to listen to “What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor?” on repeat for eternity!

Assumption of Risk. User understands and agrees that there are certain risks of personal or property injury, illness and/or death associated with attending the Event, including, without limitation, risks related to the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and any resulting disease (together with any mutation, adaptation or variation thereof, “COVID-19”). User understands and agrees (a) that the risk of exposure to COVID-19 and/or any other virus cannot be fully eliminated and is increased by proximity to other people, (b) that an inherent and elevated risk of exposure to COVID-19 and/or any other virus exists in any public place or place where people are gathered, (c) that attending the Event may involve coming into close contact with other people, (d) that there is no guarantee, express or implied, that User will not be exposed to COVID-19 and/or any other virus and (e) that exposure to COVID-19 and/or any other virus can result in being subject to quarantine requirements, illness, disability, and other short-term and long-term health effects, including death.
Despite these risks, User voluntarily assumes ALL known and potential risk and danger of injury and/or death from any cause, resulting from, in connection with, or incidental to the Event, including exposure to COVID-19 and/or any other virus. By registering for the festival, User expressly assumes all risks and dangers arising from or incidental to the Event, whether such risks occur before, during, or after the Event and agrees that the Releasees (defined below) are not responsible for any such risks and dangers.
Waiver. User forever releases, waives, discharges and agrees not to sue the following: the Event owner(s); Event producer(s); Event promoter(s); Event performers, artists and their managers, agents, furnishing companies and representatives; the Event ticketing agency and/or ticketing services provider; Salty pirate & Noire and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, owners, members, managers, officers, directors, past and present employees, volunteers, agents, representatives, successors, trustees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any known or unknown claims, losses, damages, liability, demands, actions, injury or death, including those relating to COVID-19 or any other illness or injury that User may sustain while at the Event, regardless of whether caused by the negligence or other fault of the Releasees or any third party (collectively, “Claims” or, as used individually, a “Claim”).
User further agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Releasees from any and all claims, demands, liabilities and/or damages arising from all Claims and User’s conduct, acts or omissions during the Event. In no event shall Releasees be liable for consequential or indirect damages.
Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, none of the Releasees are or will be responsible or liable to User or to any third party for, and User expressly waives all rights to seek any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or other damages under any theory of liability, arising out of or relating in any way to the Terms, the Ticket and/or the Event (even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages, or such loss or damages were reasonably foreseeable).
INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”)
Unless prohibited by federal law, User and Releasees (the “Parties” or, individually, a “Party”) agree to arbitrate any and all Claims, except for Claims concerning the validity, scope or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. This Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), and not by state law.
In any claim or dispute to be resolved by arbitration, neither Party will be able to have a court or jury trial or participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other rights that the Parties would have if the Parties went to court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. Each Party understands and agrees that by requiring each other to resolve all disputes through individual arbitration, WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties.
Arbitrations shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the applicable AAA rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated. User may obtain information about arbitration, arbitration procedures and fees from AAA by calling 800-778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org. If AAA is unable or unwilling to arbitrate a dispute, then the dispute may be referred to any other arbitration organization or arbitrator the Parties both agree upon in writing or that is appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the FAA. The arbitration shall take place in the federal judicial district where the Event took place, or in another location on which the Parties agree. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any relief that would have been available in court, provided that the arbitrator’s authority is limited to the Parties alone, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. No arbitration decision will have any preclusive effect as to non-parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. The Parties agree that this Arbitration Agreement extends to any other parties involved in any Claims, including but not limited to anyone for whom User purchases Tickets and Releasees’ employees, affiliated companies and vendors. This Arbitration Agreement shall take precedence over the rules of the arbitration organization or arbitrator in the event of any conflict.
The Parties each may exercise any lawful rights to seek provisional remedies or self-help, without waiving the right to arbitrate by doing so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be void. If a claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions in the Arbitration Agreement prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such claim (and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any individual claims will be arbitrated. In such a case, the court shall stay the claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. In no event will a claim for public injunctive relief be arbitrated. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement, your fulfillment or default of your obligations under this Agreement, and/or the Parties’ bankruptcy or insolvency (to the extent permitted by applicable law).
IRREPARABLE INJURY AND CONSENT TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Any breach of these Terms by the User will cause irreparable injury to Event producer and User consents to injunctive relief to prevent or mitigate any irreparable injury.
GOVERNING LAW
Except as otherwise stated in the Arbitration Agreement above, any Claim arising from or relating to these Terms, the Event, or our dealings with one another, whether based in contract, tort, fraud or otherwise and regardless of the place of User’s residence, is governed by, and construed in accordance with, federal law, without regard to conflict of laws principles. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
OTHER RIGHTS / RESTRICTIONS
No sponsorship, on site marketing, sampling, vending, coupon/product distribution, or other promotional/advertising activity may be conducted at the Event (inclusive of parking lots), absent the Event producer’s prior written approval in each instance.
The Event producer reserves all rights not expressly granted to User. The terms and restrictions noted on the website of the Event producer’s designated ticketing company, and its Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, available on the Event website, are also included herein by reference. In the event of any conflict, the terms on this page shall prevail.
RIGHT TO CHANGE POLICY
Salty Pirate reserves the right to make changes to this policy at any time and without notice.
By Registering, you agree to these terms, conditions, NO REFUND policy, and you agree to the Arbitration Agreement, and the Consent to Electronic Contracting and Communications. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, the Arbitration Agreement, or the Consent to Electronic Contracting and Communications do not register.
