Event Waiver

The safety of our attendees is our top priority. But at an adventure festival, it isn't possible to remove every risk that comes with attending. By choosing to attend, attendees accept these risks and that taking part is their own decision.

After buying a ticket, every attendee will be emailed the Event Waiver below to sign digitally before the Event. As set out in our Terms & Conditions, we may cancel, without refund, any ticket whose Waiver isn't signed within 10 days of being sent.

A copy of the Waiver is below for reference. We may make minor changes before sending it for signature, but not changes that materially alter its content.

PUBLISHED ON 30 SEPT 2026

I, the undersigned participant (the "Participant"), confirm that I am choosing to take part in Camp VC 2027 (the "Event"). The Event is organised by VC London Ltd (the "Organiser") at One Giant Leap, Tan Y Graig, Llangollen, LL20 8AR (the "Event Site").

How this waiver is agreed

The Organiser will ask every Attendee to sign this waiver after purchase. I agree to it in any of the following ways, whichever happens first:

• by buying a ticket to the Event. If I buy tickets for other people, I confirm that I have shared this waiver with them and that they agree to it.

• by signing this waiver

• by attending the Event

This waiver applies to me whether or not I have signed it.

Many activities at the Event, on site and at designated off-site locations, carry inherent risks to participants and spectators. They include, but are not limited to:

Activities are delivered by "Activity Leaders". These are individuals or organisations with the skills, knowledge and experience to lead an activity safely, appointed by or on behalf of the Organiser.

I understand that these risks can be reduced but not entirely eliminated. They include death, temporary or permanent paralysis or disability, electric shock, illness or disease, mental or physical trauma, and loss of or damage to personal property or equipment.

Release of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release the following parties (together, the "Released Parties") from liability for personal injury, loss of or damage to property, and any other claims arising from my participation in or attendance at the Event:

• the Organiser and its directors, officers, employees, freelance contractors, suppliers and representatives

• the Activity Leaders

• One Giant Leap Llangollen Ltd

• any other parties involved in delivering the Event, and their representatives

The Released Parties include, but are not limited to, Shankos Skate School CIC and The Skate Scholarship.

Nothing in this waiver excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and liability for fraud. My statutory rights are not affected.

A copy of my signed waiver may be shared with Activity Leaders and other Released Parties where needed to show that I have accepted these terms. They will store and process it in line with their own privacy policies.

My participation is entirely voluntary.

Conduct and safety

I agree that I will:

• wear the minimum protective kit set out below, or as directed by an Activity Leader

• not take part in any activity, ride a motorcycle or drive a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs

• stay hydrated and use sunscreen as needed

• make sure any vehicle I bring is road-legal and insured under my own insurance, keep to the 5mph site speed limit, and follow all road rules. I accept that the Organiser is not responsible for insuring my vehicle.

• follow all safety instructions from Activity Leaders, Event staff and security. I understand that not doing so may increase risk and may result in my removal from an activity or the Event without refund.

• not use any equipment or area when it is closed, including skate ramps, flatland skate areas and BMX or mountain bike pump tracks. I understand that doing so may result in my removal from the Event without refund.

• tell the Organiser straight away if I have concerns about the competence or conduct of an Activity Leader, or about anything else that needs the Organiser's attention

If I am pregnant, I accept responsibility for deciding whether to take part in any activity, in line with the pregnancy section of the Terms & Conditions.
