If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not register for or participate in any Event. Participation & Assumption of Risk Participation in Events may involve physical movement, use of tools or materials, group interaction, travel, environmental exposure, and other activities that carry inherent risks. While reasonable efforts are made to promote safety and accessibility, risks may include, without limitation, minor injury, illness, allergic reactions, property damage, emotional discomfort, or unforeseen circumstances. You voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable.

You agree not to attend if you are experiencing symptoms of illness or have been advised to isolate. PlayInnové does not guarantee prevention of illness exposure. Accessibility & Accommodations PlayInnové is committed to fostering inclusive, welcoming, and psychologically safe learning environments. Because our Events often involve hands-on materials, physical movement, creative tools, group interaction, and third-party venues, accommodation options may vary depending on the format, location, timing, and nature of the experience. Participants who require accommodations related to accessibility, mobility, sensory needs, neurodiversity, medical considerations, or other support needs are encouraged to contact PlayInnové as early as possible prior to the Event so that reasonable options may be explored. While PlayInnové cannot guarantee that all accommodation requests can be fulfilled in every setting, we will make good-faith efforts to identify practical and safe ways to support participation whenever feasible. Liability Waiver & Release To the fullest extent permitted by California law, you knowingly and voluntarily release, waive, and discharge PlayInnové and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, facilitators, agents, partners, affiliates, and venue partners from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising out of or related to your participation in an Event, including personal injury, illness, death, emotional distress, loss of property, or economic loss.

Your participation grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Materials solely for your own learning, reflection, and professional development. This license does not permit you to reproduce, distribute, publish, display, sell, sublicense, train others, facilitate workshops, create derivative works, or otherwise commercially exploit the Materials without prior written permission from PlayInnové. You may not represent PlayInnové Materials as your own work, nor use them to develop competing programs, workshops, products, or services.

Commercial use or redistribution of PlayInnové Materials remains prohibited without prior written consent. No Recording Policy To protect intellectual property and maintain a psychologically safe learning environment, audio recording, video recording, photography of materials, screen capture, or live streaming during Events is prohibited unless expressly authorized in writing by PlayInnové. Unauthorized recording or distribution may result in removal from the Event without refund and may result in legal action. Media Release PlayInnové may capture photographs, video recordings, or testimonials during Events for marketing, educational, or promotional purposes. By participating, you grant PlayInnové permission to use your name, likeness, image, voice, and statements captured during the Event for marketing, educational, and promotional purposes, without compensation and without further approval. This permission is perpetual and worldwide. If you do not wish to be included in media, you must notify PlayInnové in writing prior to the Event. Confidentiality & Participant Conduct Events may include experiential activities and fictionalized scenarios. You agree not to disclose confidential, proprietary, or personally identifiable information belonging to your employer, clients, or any third party during participation.

PlayInnové does not guarantee acceptance or approval of credits by any credentialing body. Participants are responsible for submitting and tracking their own credits. Cancellations, Transfers & Refunds Cancellation, refund, and transfer policies vary by Event and will be communicated at registration or checkout. Unless otherwise stated, registration fees are non-refundable once an Event has commenced. PlayInnové reserves the right to modify, reschedule, or cancel Events due to low enrollment, facilitator availability, venue issues, force majeure, or other unforeseen circumstances. If an Event is canceled by PlayInnové, participants will receive a refund or credit as determined by PlayInnové.
