Liability Waiver & Assumption of Risk

1. Voluntary attendance

You acknowledge that attendance at PinkTag Tech Summit, the Opening Night, and the Night Networking Festival is entirely voluntary. You enter the venue of your own free will and at your own risk.

2. Assumption of risk

You acknowledge and accept that attending a large-scale public event involves inherent and unavoidable risks, including but not limited to:

• Personal injury caused by the conduct of yourself, other attendees, or third parties.
• Loss, theft, or damage of personal property.
• Exposure to communicable disease, including airborne illness.
• Slips, trips, or falls within the precinct.
• Allergic reactions, fatigue, dehydration, or pre-existing medical conditions.
• Sound, light, special-effects, or pyrotechnic exposure during programmed entertainment.
• Conduct of the venue, contractors, or third parties beyond our reasonable control.

You voluntarily assume all such risks.

3. Release of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, you hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue PinkTag, Echo Technologies (Pty) Ltd, their directors, officers, employees, contractors, volunteers, sponsors, partners, and venue operators (the "Released Parties") from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, injury, or death you may sustain in connection with the event, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

4. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any third-party claim arising out of your conduct at the event, including any breach of these Terms or the Code of Conduct.

5. Medical treatment

If you require medical attention on-site, you authorise PinkTag and the venue's medical staff to provide reasonable first aid and to call emergency services on your behalf. You are responsible for the cost of any treatment.

6. Insurance

PinkTag does not provide personal insurance for attendees. You are responsible for arranging your own travel, medical, and personal-effects insurance.

7. Statutory rights

Nothing in this Waiver excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under South African law, including the Consumer Protection Act, 2008. To the extent any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in full force.
