I accept that exhibits that are deemed unsuitable or objectionable may be adjusted or removed and understand that this restriction applies to noise, persons, conduct, printed matter, materials, or anything that might be objectionable to attendees or be contrary on the mission and principles of MAC.
I agree that McKamey Animal Center and Erwin Marine Sales are not liable for any damages or losses to boats, loss of monies, or participant safety or health. I agree that my participation in this event will have no bearing on any actions or activities conducted by MAC or Erwin Marina.
I agree that my participation in this event will have no bearing on any actions or activities conducted by MAC’s Animal Protection Division, including inspections of my business and/or permitting as required by applicable City ordinance.
I agree and give my permission for MAC and/or partners to record, film, photograph, audiotape or videotape myself (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Works”) and to display, publish or distribute these Works for the purpose of publishing, posting on the MAC website and posting on social media sites. I hereby waive any right to approve the use of these Works now or in the future, whether the use is known to me or unknown, and I waive any right to any royalties related to the use of these Works.
