Terms of Service

1. Agreement to These Terms

Welcome to Afterlife Oddities (“Afterlife Oddities,” “AO,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Afterlife Oddities website, online platforms, applications, registration systems, and services (collectively, the “Site” and “Services”).

Our Services may include, but are not limited to:

• Events, retreats, festivals, markets, and community gatherings.
• Vendor applications, booth placements, sponsorships, and promotional opportunities.
• Performances, photoshoots, modeling opportunities, and creative collaborations.
• Courses, classes, workshops, demonstrations, and educational materials.
• Equipment, studio, venue, property, and other rentals.
• Merchandise, tickets, reservations, deposits, and other purchases.

By accessing the Site, submitting an application, making a purchase, registering for a course, booking a rental, or participating in an event, you agree to the Terms applicable to that activity.

If you do not agree, do not use the applicable Site or Services.

Additional agreements may apply to particular activities, including event agreements, participant waivers, vendor agreements, rental contracts, course policies, model releases, and property rules. Those documents supplement these Terms. If a specific agreement conflicts with these general Terms, the specific agreement controls for that particular transaction or activity, to the extent permitted by law.

You agree to use the Afterlife Oddities website (“Site”) and all related services, forms, applications, registration systems, and platforms only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms and any applicable policies or agreements.

You agree NOT to:

• Use the Site or Services for any unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, or unauthorized purpose.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our website, systems, accounts, databases, or another person's information.
• Interfere with, disrupt, damage, or compromise the security or functionality of the Site or Services.
• Upload, transmit, or distribute viruses, malware, malicious code, or other harmful material.
• Use bots, scrapers, automated systems, or other unauthorized methods to access, collect, copy, or extract information from the Site.
• Submit false, misleading, fraudulent, or materially inaccurate information through applications, registrations, vendor forms, rental requests, course enrollment, payment systems, or other communications.
• Impersonate another person, business, organization, vendor, performer, or representative.
• Misrepresent your identity, age, qualifications, experience, credentials, business, products, or eligibility for an event or service.
• Use the Site to harass, threaten, intimidate, defraud, exploit, or harm another person.
• Copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or commercially exploit AO's website content, branding, photographs, graphics, written materials, or other intellectual property without authorization.
• Use the Site or Services to promote, sell, or distribute illegal, counterfeit, stolen, prohibited, or unauthorized goods or services.
• Circumvent application requirements, capacity limits, payment requirements, age restrictions, access controls, or other established policies.
• Interfere with event operations, vendor arrangements, course activities, rental services, or other users' access to the Services.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity conducted through your account, except to the extent unauthorized activity results from circumstances for which you are not legally responsible.

You agree to notify AO promptly if you become aware of unauthorized access to your account or a security issue involving the Site.

AO reserves the right to investigate suspected violations, restrict or suspend access, remove unauthorized submissions, cancel applications or bookings, and take other reasonable action consistent with these Terms and applicable law.

We do not guarantee that the Site will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or free from errors. We may update, maintain, suspend, or discontinue website features or Services as reasonably necessary.

Nothing in this section prohibits lawful use of the Site, good-faith reporting, legally protected activity, or any other activity that cannot lawfully be restricted.

Age requirements vary by event, service, activity, and location.

Unless an event or service expressly states otherwise, participants must be at least 18 years old to enter into contracts or participate in adult-oriented activities. Certain events, retreats, workshops, rentals, or experiences may require participants to be 21 or older.

Some designated activities may permit participants under 18 subject to additional requirements. For example, an activity designated as open to ages 16–17 may require a parent or legal guardian to be physically present and provide the required consent and signed waiver.

The age requirement stated on the applicable event page, registration form, or activity-specific agreement controls for that activity. No minor may participate in an activity that is restricted to adults.

You agree to provide accurate information about your age and identity. We may request identification, deny entry, or cancel a registration if eligibility requirements are not met.

Parents and legal guardians are responsible for reviewing applicable requirements and completing any required consent documents. A minor's participation is not permitted merely because a parent has purchased a ticket.

Prices, deposits, payment schedules, included services, and applicable fees will be disclosed through the relevant listing, invoice, checkout, or written agreement.

You agree to pay all amounts due according to the payment schedule and instructions provided.

Depending on the service, payments may include:

• Ticket or admission prices.
• Vendor placement and application fees.
• Course or workshop registration fees.
• Rental charges, security deposits, and damage charges.
• Installment payments, reservation deposits, or other agreed fees.
• Taxes and other charges disclosed at checkout or required by law.

A deposit is applied as described in the applicable agreement. Deposits may be refundable, partially refundable, or non-refundable depending on the transaction and the terms disclosed before payment. A deposit is not automatically refundable simply because a participant changes their mind.

Payment plans must be completed according to their agreed schedule. Missing an installment may result in suspension of access, cancellation of a reservation, or other remedies stated in the applicable agreement and permitted by law.

You are responsible for providing accurate payment information and promptly communicating payment issues.

AO does not guarantee that a requested payment method, installment plan, or payment processor will remain available.

Refund, cancellation, transfer, and rescheduling policies may vary by event, course, rental, or service.

The policy displayed at the time of purchase or contained in the applicable agreement governs that transaction, subject to applicable law.

Unless a different written policy applies:

• All cancellation and refund requests must be submitted in writing through the designated contact method.
• No-shows, late arrivals, early departures, missed sessions, and unused portions of a booking are not automatically refundable.
• Missing a scheduled activity or choosing not to participate does not automatically entitle you to a refund.
• Transfers, substitutions, or changes to a booking require AO's approval when stated in the applicable policy.
• Refund processing times may depend on the payment provider.

Event cancellation by AO: If AO cancels an event, the refund or rescheduling options will be communicated to affected purchasers. Any refund obligation will be handled according to the event's disclosed policy and applicable law.

Schedule, programming, or venue changes: Changes to performers, instructors, vendors, activities, schedules, layouts, or venues do not automatically entitle a purchaser to a refund unless required by the applicable policy or law.

Force majeure: Events may be delayed, interrupted, relocated, rescheduled, or canceled due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control. We will communicate available options as reasonably practicable and handle refunds in accordance with the applicable agreement and law.

Nothing in these Terms eliminates any refund, cancellation, or other right that cannot legally be waived.

Events may have different admission categories, schedules, capacity limits, and access privileges.

Your ticket or reservation grants access only to the event, dates, times, spaces, and activities included in your purchase or written confirmation.

Depending on your admission type, certain accommodations, activities, overnight stays, meals, amenities, or programming may not be included.

You agree to:

• Follow event schedules, check-in and check-out times, and capacity limits.
• Remain within authorized event areas.
• Respect designated private, staff-only, restricted, and off-limits spaces.
• Follow posted property rules, safety instructions, and staff directions.
• Respect other attendees, performers, vendors, instructors, staff, and property owners.
• Obtain permission before entering another person's room, sleeping area, private space, or reserved area.
• Refrain from bringing unauthorized guests or transferring access without approval.
• Leave the premises when your authorized access period ends.

AO may make reasonable adjustments to programming, schedules, capacity, layouts, activities, and access arrangements for safety, operational, weather-related, venue-related, or other legitimate reasons.

Participation in an event does not guarantee access to every activity, person, performer, instructor, or photo opportunity.

Vendor participation is governed by these Terms, the applicable vendor application, the accepted placement details, and any vendor guidelines supplied for the event.

Application and acceptance: Applying does not guarantee acceptance or a particular booth location. AO may approve, decline, or waitlist vendors based on event requirements, available space, product suitability, safety, and other disclosed selection criteria.

Placement fees: Vendor fees, approved trade arrangements, included benefits, and payment deadlines will be stated in the applicable listing or written agreement. Vendor placement payments are non-refundable where that policy was disclosed and agreed to before payment, subject to applicable law and any event-specific cancellation policy.

Setup and attendance: Vendors must comply with assigned load-in, setup, operating, breakdown, and departure times. Vendors must maintain their assigned space during required operating hours unless AO approves an exception.

Booths and equipment: Vendors are responsible for their own tables, displays, equipment, signage, inventory, payment systems, staffing, and other supplies unless expressly included in their placement. Displays must remain within the assigned space and may not block aisles, exits, accessibility routes, emergency equipment, or neighboring booths.

Products and services: Vendors may offer only products and services approved for the event. Vendors are responsible for ensuring their products, claims, labeling, pricing, and business practices comply with applicable laws. Counterfeit, stolen, prohibited, unsafe, or unauthorized goods are not permitted.

Permits, taxes, and licensing: Vendors must obtain and maintain any permits, licenses, insurance, registrations, and tax documentation required for their business and activities. Vendors must accurately report and pay applicable taxes and comply with event-specific documentation requirements. AO may request proof of compliance.

Texas sales-tax obligations at fairs, festivals, and markets can apply to individual sellers and, in certain circumstances, event promoters. Vendors must follow the requirements applicable to their specific sales and business arrangements. See the Texas Comptroller's guidance on fairs, festivals, markets, and shows.

Food, beverages, and regulated activities: Vendors selling food, beverages, body products, or other regulated goods or services must satisfy all applicable health, safety, labeling, licensing, and permit requirements. Prior written approval may be required.

Conduct: Vendors must communicate professionally, treat attendees and other vendors respectfully, and follow staff instructions. Harassment, discrimination, threats, unsafe conduct, disruptive behavior, or unauthorized solicitation may result in corrective action or removal.

Loss and damage: Vendors are responsible for securing their inventory, equipment, cash, and personal property. AO is not an insurer of vendor property and is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage except to the extent caused by conduct for which AO is legally responsible.

Weather and event changes: Outdoor markets and events may be affected by weather, venue restrictions, or other conditions. AO may adjust layouts, operating hours, or locations, or pause or cancel activities when reasonably necessary. Any vendor refund or credit will be governed by the applicable written policy.

Courses, classes, workshops, and demonstrations may be educational, creative, recreational, or experiential. Their content, duration, prerequisites, included materials, and participation requirements will be described in the applicable listing or registration materials.

By registering, you agree to:

• Meet the stated age, experience, prerequisite, and eligibility requirements.
• Follow instructor directions and applicable safety procedures.
• Use equipment and materials only as instructed and authorized.
• Treat instructors and other participants respectfully.
• Arrive prepared and on time.
• Avoid recording, distributing, or commercially using course materials without permission.

Course registration does not guarantee a particular personal, professional, physical, or financial outcome.

Educational content: Course materials, demonstrations, and instruction are provided for their stated educational or creative purpose. Unless expressly represented otherwise, they are not a substitute for individualized medical, legal, financial, therapeutic, or other professional advice.

Intellectual property: Course handouts, videos, demonstrations, lesson plans, and other materials remain the property of AO, the instructor, or the applicable rights holder. You may use materials for your own permitted learning purposes but may not reproduce, distribute, sell, publicly upload, or create commercial derivatives without written authorization.

Participation and safety: Some courses may involve physical movement, aerial arts, restraints, tools, heat, water, animals, or other activities with inherent risks. Additional prerequisites, safety briefings, waivers, equipment rules, or instructor approval may be required. We may refuse or stop participation when safety requirements are not met.

Cancellations and missed sessions: Course-specific cancellation, transfer, rescheduling, refund, and makeup policies will be disclosed at registration or in the applicable agreement. Missed sessions and unused course materials are not automatically refundable.

Rentals may include equipment, creative spaces, studios, venues, props, aerial apparatus, furnishings, or other property.

Each rental is subject to the applicable rental agreement, which may specify the rental period, permitted use, approved users, fees, deposit, pickup and return requirements, inspection procedures, insurance requirements, and other conditions.

Authorized use: Rented property may be used only for the approved purpose, during the authorized rental period, and by approved individuals. You may not sublease, lend, transfer, modify, or permit unauthorized use of rented property without written approval.

Condition and inspection: You are responsible for inspecting the rental at pickup or before use, promptly reporting pre-existing damage or concerns, and returning the property in the condition required by the rental agreement, ordinary wear and tear excepted where applicable.

Care and damage: You are responsible for loss, theft, damage, misuse, unauthorized modification, or failure to return rented property during your period of responsibility, subject to the rental agreement and applicable law. Reasonable repair or replacement charges may apply when supported by the agreement and the circumstances.

Late returns: Late-return charges, extensions, and consequences for failure to return property will be set out in the applicable rental agreement. An extension is not approved unless confirmed by AO.

Safety-sensitive equipment: Aerial rigs, aerial apparatus, suspension equipment, power tools, and other specialized equipment may require training, inspection, qualified supervision, specific installation, or proof of competency. You may not use equipment beyond your demonstrated ability or contrary to manufacturer instructions or AO's safety requirements.

Property and venue rules: Renters must follow all occupancy limits, fire restrictions, noise rules, access limitations, cleaning requirements, and other property-specific rules. You are responsible for your guests and for any damage or rule violations attributable to them, subject to applicable law.

Deposits and charges: Security deposits, cleaning fees, damage charges, and other rental-related amounts will be disclosed in the applicable agreement. A deposit may be applied to amounts properly owed under that agreement. Any remaining balance will be handled according to the stated deposit-return policy.

Cancellation and interruption: Rental cancellation, rescheduling, early termination, and refund terms will be specified in the applicable rental agreement. AO may suspend or terminate use when conditions are unsafe, unauthorized, unlawful, or materially inconsistent with the agreement.

Participation in any Afterlife Oddities (“AO”) event, course, class, workshop, game, activity, experience, performance, demonstration, rental, or other offered service is voluntary unless otherwise expressly stated in a separate written agreement.

You are not required to participate in any individual activity, game, experience, demonstration, or physical exercise offered at an AO event. You may decline an activity or discontinue participation, subject to any applicable booking, scheduling, and refund policies.

Choosing not to participate in an optional activity does not automatically entitle you to a refund, credit, or other compensation.

Separate Waivers and Required Documentation

Certain events, courses, games, experiences, rentals, and activities may involve physical exertion, specialized equipment, tools, aerial apparatus, restraints, fire, water, animals, outdoor environments, or other inherent risks.

Each activity may have its own specific waiver, release of liability, informed consent form, safety acknowledgment, rental agreement, or other required documentation.

You agree to review and complete all applicable forms before participating in the activity to which they relate. A general acknowledgment of these Terms does not replace an activity-specific waiver or any other required documentation.

Where a signed waiver, guardian consent, safety briefing, training requirement, or other approval is required, participation will not be permitted until the applicable requirements have been satisfied.

Separate Activities, Separate Requirements

Completing a waiver for one event, course, game, experience, rental, or activity does not automatically satisfy the waiver or documentation requirements for another activity.

AO may require additional or updated documentation when the nature of an activity, equipment, location, or risk changes.

Participants are responsible for following the instructions, restrictions, and safety requirements stated in each applicable waiver and agreement.

Minors and Guardian Consent

Where a particular activity permits minors, all required parent or legal guardian consent, signatures, supervision, and age-related requirements must be satisfied before participation.

AO reserves the right to restrict or deny participation if the required documentation or eligibility requirements have not been met.

Release and Waiver of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, participants who engage in any AO event, course, class, workshop, game, activity, experience, performance, demonstration, rental, or other service agree, through the applicable activity-specific waiver, to release and hold harmless Afterlife Oddities and its owners, operators, organizers, directors, managers, official team members, employees, staff, contractors, volunteers, agents, representatives, instructors, and authorized personnel (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from claims, demands, damages, losses, or liabilities arising out of or relating to their participation, including claims arising from the ordinary negligence of a Released Party, to the extent such claims may legally be waived.

This release applies only to the activities, risks, parties, and claims covered by the applicable waiver. Each participant must review and sign any required activity-specific release before participating. Acknowledgment of these Terms alone does not replace a separately required signed waiver.

Nothing in this section waives or limits liability that cannot legally be waived or limited under applicable law.

Scope of Waivers

Each waiver applies only to the activities, risks, parties, and circumstances identified in that document. Waivers and releases are subject to applicable law and do not eliminate liability that cannot legally be waived.

Nothing in these Terms requires a participant to undertake an activity they do not wish to perform, or prevents a participant from raising a legitimate safety concern.

AO is committed to providing creative and community spaces where participants can engage respectfully and safely.

All attendees, vendors, performers, instructors, renters, staff, and guests must:

• Treat others with respect and respect personal boundaries.
• Obtain consent before touching another person, their belongings, or their equipment.
• Refrain from harassment, intimidation, threats, discrimination, stalking, or unwanted conduct.
• Follow safety rules, venue policies, and reasonable staff instructions.
• Avoid behavior that creates a material safety risk or substantially disrupts an event or service.
• Respect privacy, restricted areas, and the boundaries established by other participants.

Violence, credible threats, harassment, illegal activity, dangerous conduct, unauthorized access, and serious or repeated rule violations may result in denied admission, removal, suspension, cancellation of a booking, or restrictions on future participation.

AO may take reasonable action to protect participants, staff, property, and the operation of its Services. Where appropriate, AO may document incidents, investigate reports, request additional information, and consult venue staff or relevant authorities.

Removal or cancellation does not automatically entitle a participant to a refund, subject to the applicable agreement and law.

Participants are encouraged to report safety concerns, injuries, harassment, property damage, or other incidents promptly to event staff or through the designated contact method.

Reports may be documented and reviewed to support safety, operational decisions, and appropriate follow-up. Submitting a report does not guarantee a particular finding, outcome, refund, or disciplinary action.

AO may take reasonable steps to investigate, preserve relevant information, and address reported concerns. We may be unable to disclose confidential information about another person or internal personnel matters.

Nothing in these Terms prohibits or discourages:

• Good-faith reports of suspected misconduct or safety concerns.
• Truthful statements about your own experiences.
• Honest reviews, opinions, or criticism.
• Communications with law enforcement, regulators, medical providers, attorneys, or other appropriate authorities.
• Exercising any rights protected by applicable law.

Knowingly submitting fabricated evidence or materially false information may result in appropriate action. However, a disagreement, negative review, good-faith mistake, or unproven allegation is not, by itself, a violation of these Terms.

To the extent permitted by law, the Site and general Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted website access, error-free operation, the continued availability of a particular event, instructor, vendor, venue, activity, or rental item, or any specific result from participation.

Descriptions, schedules, images, and promotional materials are provided to communicate the intended offering. Reasonable changes may occur, and material terms will be addressed through the applicable listing or agreement.

Nothing in this section excludes any warranty, consumer protection, or other right that cannot legally be excluded.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, AO will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages arising from use of the Site or Services where such exclusion is lawful.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so is prohibited by law, including liability that cannot legally be waived or limited.

Any additional limitation of liability, release, or allocation of risk for a particular event, course, activity, or rental must be stated in the applicable agreement and must comply with applicable law.

AO events and activities may include photography, video recording, audio recording, livestreaming, or other media documentation.

The applicable event notice, registration form, media release, or model release will explain the permissions and terms relevant to the activity.

Where you have provided the required consent or license, you may authorize AO and the identified event partners to use approved images, video, audio, or other media containing your likeness for event documentation, promotional materials, websites, and social media, subject to the scope of that permission.

Unless separately agreed in writing, participation does not entitle you to compensation, royalties, or approval over every authorized use.

Privacy and consent: Participants must respect other people's privacy and obtain any consent required before photographing, recording, or sharing identifiable media of them. Private spaces, changing areas, sleeping areas, and other designated no-recording areas must remain private.

Do not assume that another attendee's presence at an event means they have consented to being individually photographed, recorded, or publicly identified.

If you have concerns about being photographed, contact event staff before or upon arrival so reasonable arrangements can be discussed. Any opt-out or restriction will be handled according to the event's disclosed policy and applicable law.

This section does not replace a separate model release, performer release, or activity-specific media consent.

The Site and its original content—including text, graphics, logos, branding, photographs, videos, designs, and materials—are owned by AO or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, publicly display, or commercially exploit AO content without prior written permission, except as permitted by law.

You retain ownership of content you create, subject to any separate license or agreement you grant.

If you submit content to AO for a specific promotional, application, or event purpose, you grant only the permissions expressly stated in the relevant submission terms or written agreement.

You represent that you have the rights and permissions necessary to submit the content and that your submission does not knowingly infringe another person's rights.

AO is not responsible for a delay or failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, which may include severe weather, natural disasters, fire, public emergencies, government restrictions, venue closures or policy changes / updates, utility failures, transportation interruptions, or other events that materially affect the Services.

Where reasonably practicable, AO will communicate material changes and provide any rescheduling, credit, or refund options required by the applicable agreement or law.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of our Site or Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

AO may suspend or terminate access to the Site or Services when reasonably necessary due to a material breach of these Terms, nonpayment, safety concerns, unlawful activity, unauthorized use, or other grounds stated in the applicable agreement.

Termination does not eliminate payment obligations, liability for prior conduct, or provisions that by their nature should continue, including intellectual property, payment obligations, applicable disclaimers, and dispute-related provisions.

Any cancellation, refund, or other remedy remains subject to the applicable agreement and law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where another law is required to apply.

Any dispute will be addressed in a court or other forum with proper jurisdiction, subject to applicable law and any valid, separately agreed dispute-resolution provision.

Nothing in these Terms requires binding arbitration or waives a right to bring a claim in court unless you separately agree to a valid provision that clearly establishes that requirement.

Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot legally be waived or restricts access to a government agency or other legally protected reporting channel.

AO may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue portions of the Site or Services, Forms, Applications, Waivers and any AO document when reasonably necessary.

We may revise these Terms by posting an updated version with a new “Last Updated” date. Changes apply prospectively unless otherwise permitted by law.

Material changes to an existing purchase, booking, or agreement will be handled in accordance with the terms applicable to that transaction and any legal notice requirements.

Your continued use of the Site after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law. Where affirmative consent is legally required, we will seek that consent.

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain effective to the extent permitted by law.

These Terms, together with the applicable policies, checkout disclosures, and activity-specific agreements, form the agreement governing your use of the relevant Site or Services.

No waiver of a provision is effective unless made by an authorized representative of AO. A failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later.

AO may collect and use information you provide through inquiries, applications, purchases, registrations, rentals, event participation, and communications.

Personal information will be handled according to our Privacy Policy, applicable consent forms, and applicable law.

Depending on the service, information may be used to process payments, administer bookings, communicate event details, verify eligibility, maintain records, address safety concerns, and provide requested services.

Please review our separate Privacy Policy for details about information collection, use, sharing, retention, and applicable privacy choices.

These Terms do not replace the Privacy Policy or any legally required privacy notice.
