Terms and Conditions
The undersigned Vendor (“Vendor”), as consideration to participate as a Vendor at certain horse show events during the 2024 Blenheim EquiSports horse show season (each “event”), hereby agrees to abide by the following terms and conditions (the “agreement”):

1. Vendor Application; Purpose.
The Vendor must submit a Vendor application (the “Vendor application”) to Blenheim EquiSports Management Company, LLC (“BES”), and the Vendor application will not be effective unless accepted by BES, in its sole and absolute discretion. If the Vendor application is accepted by BES, Vendor will be permitted to set up a booth, tent, mobile unit or other display (collectively, a “booth”) during the event(s) specifically marked on the Vendor application and at the applicable facilities relating to such event(s) (the “facilities”). Vendor acknowledges and agrees that this agreement constitutes nothing more than a license permitting Vendor’s use of the authorized booth area of the facilities (the “licensed area”) for the sale of the products or services that are disclosed in the Vendor application (the “authorized products”). Vendor may use the licensed area to sell authorized products for the event only on the days and only during the hours specified for the event. This agreement in no way imparts any possessory rights to Vendor which are not specifically enumerated in this agreement, and this agreement is not a “lease” or “sublease”. Vendor shall have a non-exclusive right of ingress and egress to the common areas of the facilities, but the common areas may not be utilized by Vendor for any purpose including, but not limited to, the promotion or sale of authorized products at the event. Vendor agrees to comply with all rules and regulations of BES for the facilities, including those set forth below.

2. Fees.
Two weeks prior to each event in which Vendor will participate, Vendor will submit to BES payment in full for the applicable fee as set forth on the Vendor rate schedule. Vendor will not be permitted on the facilities during the applicable event if such payment has not been received by BES.

3. Vendor Booth Set-Up and Removal.
A. Vendor will provide its own materials, equipment, and labor in order to set up its booth and acknowledges that BES will not provide any tents, water hoses, extension cords or any other equipment. Vendor’s booth placement on the facilities will be assigned by BES and a chart of the Vendor placement will be posted in the applicable security checkpoint prior to the start of the event. Vendor agrees not to set up any booth anywhere on the facilities other than the location specified on the placement chart. Vendor will set up booth only during the hours of 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm on the Monday prior to the event and 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on the Tuesday prior to the event. Vendor agrees not to set up or tear down its booth or drop off or remove any materials or equipment WHILE THE EVENT IS IN PROGRESS.

B. Vendor will remove its booth as well as all materials, equipment, and other property by 9:00 pm on Sunday at the conclusion of the event. Failure to comply with move-out regulations will result in a $100 late move-out fine. Any booth, materials, equipment, or other personal property left on the facilities after such time will become the property of BES and at the sole option of BES and at Vendor’s expense will be either destroyed or returned to Vendor. Vendor will leave the portion of the facilities occupied by its booth in the same condition as it was in prior to the event.

Vendor shall obtain and keep in full force a policy of commercial general liability insurance (including but not limited to public liability, broad form property damage, personal injury, broad form contractual liability and owner’s contractors protective, and automobile liability, as required) with an insurance company or companies that is acceptable to BES in its sole discretion.

BES may at all times inspect the policies carried by Vendor. Vendor shall provide evidence of such insurance by depositing certificates of insurance along with additional insured endorsement and a waiver of subrogation endorsement (applies to general liability insurance only) with BES, at least thirty (30) days prior to each event in which Vendor will participate.

In consideration for my being permitted to participate as a Vendor on the facilities during the 2024 Blenheim EquiSports horse show season, including but not limited to setting up a booth, display, tent or mobile unit (collectively, a “booth”) and selling products or services out of such booth to individuals attending the horse show (collectively, “Vendor activities”), with or without supervision, I acknowledge and agree as follows:

1. Dangerous activity: I acknowledge that I will be performing the Vendor activities during a horse show competition and that during my attendance on the facilities activities related to a horse show competition (“equestrian activities”) will be conducted on the facilities. I acknowledge that horses can be unpredictable animals and fully realize that there are certain dangers inherent in equestrian activities, including the risks of property damage, personal injury and even death. I recognize that even the best-trained horses can and often do react rapidly and in unpredictable ways to a variety of stimuli and even for no apparent reason at all. I understand that the actions of any other person or animal cannot necessarily be controlled, and that my safety and that of my property cannot be guaranteed while participating in the Vendor activities and observing the equestrian activities. I understand that there is risk of serious physical harm and even possibly death, and nonetheless voluntarily choose to participate in the Vendor activities.

2. Assumption of risks: understanding the risks involved, I voluntarily choose to participate in the Vendor activities during which equestrian activities will be conducted and choose to be around horses. I expressly assume the associated risks, including the risk of injury and death, whether caused by the risks inherent in equestrian activities, the negligence of any of the released parties or any other cause. I accept full and complete responsibility for the safety of myself, any guests or observers accompanying me or present at my invitation and my personal property. Further, I assume the risk of any damage or injury caused by my Vendor activities, including any damage or injury caused by my booth or my products or services, and agree to indemnify the released parties against any claims for damage to persons or property caused by my Vendor activities, including claims relating to my booth or my products or services.

3. Release and waiver of claims: on behalf of myself, my heirs, successors in interest, guardians, legal representatives and assigns, I hereby release and forever discharge the released parties, jointly and severally, from all claims, actions, demands, rights, causes of action and liabilities, in law or in equity, whether my own or derivative claims, based upon any bodily injury or disability, illness or disease, death, financial loss, property loss, damage, destruction or other harm of whatever nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, that may be sustained or suffered by me or by any other person as a direct or indirect consequence of my participation in the Vendor activities or my observance of the equestrian activities, whether caused by the negligence of the released parties or otherwise, provided that nothing in this section shall be deemed to release any released party from liability arising from their own willful or intentional injury to me or my property.

4. Unpredictability of cause, personal responsibility: I understand that injuries and harm may result from working around horses from a variety of causes, including the acts or omissions of other persons, domesticated or wild animals, weather, ground conditions and other causes not necessarily predictable. I understand that it is my responsibility to act in a responsible manner to ensure to the extent possible my own safety and that of others.

5. Personal property: I agree that I am responsible for the security of my own personal property, including my booth and my products and any personal effects I bring to the released parties’ premises, and that the released parties cannot guaranty the security of my property. Should I leave any personal property in the custody of the released parties, I do so at my own risk. None of the released parties shave have any liability to me in the event of loss, damage, unauthorized use by any person or theft on any such property. I acknowledge that I need to purchase sufficient insurance to cover my own property.

6. Promise not to bring suit: I hereby agree that I, my heirs, successors in interest, guardians, legal representatives and assigns will not bring a claim against, sue, demand compensation from or attach the property or assets of the released parties or any of them, either in my or their own name, for any loss or damage arising or resulting directly or indirectly from my participation in the Vendor activities, my observance of the equestrian activities or my presence at the released parties’ premises.

7. Indemnification: I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of the released parties from and against any and all claims, suits, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, arising from or in connection with the injury, illness or death of any person or the damage, destruction or loss of any of my or others’ property which might result, directly or indirectly, from my participation in the Vendor activities, including the sale of my products or services.

8. Nature of claims waived: I realize that this waiver refers to and covers events that may take place after the signing of this document, and that the exact nature of any injury or loss I may suffer as a result of my participation in the Vendor activities or observance of the equestrian activities may not be entirely foreseeable. I realize that the extent of loss possible includes serious bodily injury or even death, and total destruction or loss of any property I may leave at the released parties’ premises. Knowing the possible extent of damages or injury I may suffer, I hereby expressly waive any claim under section 1542 of the California civil code, relating to the release of unknown claims, which section reads as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

9. California law, jurisdiction: this agreement will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of the state of California, without reference to its choice of law principles to the contrary. I agree that this agreement shall be deemed to have been entered into in orange county, California. I will not commence or prosecute any action, suit, proceeding or claim arising under or by reason of this agreement other than in the state or federal courts located in orange county, California. I irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts identified in the preceding sentence in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, or claim arising under or by reason of this agreement. I further understand that the terms of this express assumption of risk, release of liability, waiver of claims and indemnity agreement mean that I am waiving certain important rights that I might otherwise have under California law.

10. Severability: I agree that this document is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by California law. If any portion of this agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be severable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the balance of the agreement shall not be affected or impaired in any way and shall continue in full legal force and effect.

11. Attorneys’ fees: in the event of any dispute arising out of the subject matter of this agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in resolving such dispute.
