LIABILITY & ASSUMPTION OF RISK:
By participating in Mile High Pets & Handlers (MiH-PaH) events, activities, or programs, members acknowledge and accept that they do so voluntarily and at their own risk. Members expressly agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless MiH-PaH, its Board of Directors, officers, event organizers, volunteers, and agents from any and all liability, claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, or expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising out of or related to participation in any MiH-PaH activity, except where prohibited by law. Members are fully responsible for their own actions and for the behavior, safety, and compliance of any guests they bring to events or activities conducted under the Mile High Pets & Handlers organization. This release does not waive liability for gross negligence or intentional misconduct by MiH-PaH or its representatives, as prohibited by law.
INSURANCE & MEDICAL RESPONSIBILITY:
Members understand and agree that MiH-PaH does not provide health, medical, disability, or accident insurance coverage for participants. Each member is solely responsible for their own medical expenses and personal insurance coverage. In the event of injury, illness, or other incident during a MiH-PaH activity, members assume full financial responsibility for any related medical treatment, emergency services, or associated costs.
MEDIA & PRIVACY:
Members grant MiH-PaH permission to use photos, videos, or recordings from events for promotional and educational purposes, provided a form of face covering or facial blur is utilized, unless otherwise restricted in writing. Only MiH-PaH leadership or designated media volunteers are permitted to capture official photos, videos, or recordings at MiH-PaH events. Personal photography or recording by members is not allowed without the express consent of all individuals being recorded. Photography and recording will be announced at MiH-PaH events. Reasonable efforts will be made to honor opt-out requests; however, complete avoidance cannot be guaranteed at public events or when third parties (e.g., other attendees or media outlets) are present. Personal information collected by MiH-PaH will be used only for organizational purposes, stored securely, and never shared or sold without member consent. Members may opt out of the use of media and non-essential data collection by filling out the Opt-Out Agreement within the Membership Application. Members may revoke consent at any time in writing, though revocation will not apply retroactively to materials already produced or published.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE AND WOULD LIKE TO OPT OUT OF MEDIA OR NON-ESSENTIAL DATA COLLECTION, PLEASE COMPLETE THE OPT-OUT FORM LOCATED ON THE "WHO WE ARE" PAGE
AMENDMENTS:
MiH-PaH reserves the right to amend this Agreement. Members will be notified of amendments and continued use of membership benefits constitutes acceptance. The notice period of amendments is 30 days.
