8.Alcohol, Substances, and Age-Restricted Activities

Social Media Prom and most San Francisco Vintage nightlife Events are strictly 21+. Government-issued ID will be checked at the door. Please leave the kiddos at home.

For Events not labeled 21+, guests under 21 may attend but are strictly prohibited from purchasing, possessing, or consuming alcohol. All attendees must follow ID checks and any Venue or staff directions related to alcohol service.

When alcohol is present, it may be served by San Francisco Vintage under a lawful event permit or by licensed third-party vendors. In all cases, service follows applicable state and local laws.

Each attendee is solely responsible for their own consumption, behavior, and transportation. San Francisco Vintage is not liable for any injury, loss, or claim arising from alcohol use or intoxication, regardless of who holds the permit. We reserve the right to deny or end service and to remove anyone who is or appears intoxicated or overserved, or behaving disruptively, aggressively, unsafely, or unlawfully.

13.Fitness/Equipment and Outdoor Conditions

Where equipment is provided, you agree to inspect and use as instructed and to immediately report any issues. Outdoor Events may involve weather exposure; you accept related risks and agree that weather alone does not entitle you to a refund unless expressly stated in the posted Event policy.

14.Minors

Many San Francisco Vintage Events (including Social Media Prom) are 21+ and do not admit minors under any circumstance. For Events that do admit attendees under 18, the minor must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, who must accept this Waiver on the minor's behalf. The guardian further agrees to indemnify the Released Parties for any claims brought by or on behalf of the minor to the fullest extent permitted by law.

San Francisco Vintage may deny entry or remove any individual for unsafe, disruptive, harassing, or illegal behavior; refusal to follow reasonable instructions; or violation of Venue policies. No refund will be issued in such circumstances.

17.Event Changes; Force Majeure; Refunds

San Francisco Vintage may alter, postpone, relocate, or cancel any Event in its sole discretion due to operational needs, Venue requirements, artist/instructor availability, safety concerns, public health directives, force majeure (including severe weather or seismic events), or other causes beyond reasonable control. Refunds or credits, if any, will be governed by the posted Event/ticket policy and applicable law.

18.Medical Consent and Release

You authorize San Francisco Vintage and Venue personnel to obtain medical evaluation and treatment for you in an emergency and to share relevant information with medical providers. You are responsible for all associated costs. You release the Released Parties from liability for the good-faith exercise of this authority.

Services, products, classes, and demonstrations may be provided by independent third parties. San Francisco Vintage disclaims all warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law and is not responsible for acts or omissions of independent vendors, instructors, or venues.

20.Insurance and Subrogation Waiver

You agree that your personal, health, or property insurance (if any) shall be your primary coverage for any injury, loss, or damage. To the fullest extent allowed by law, you waive any right of subrogation or recovery against the Released Parties.

21.Dispute Resolution

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute or claim arising out of or related to this Waiver or any Event shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted by a neutral arbitrator in San Francisco County, California. Each party shall bear its own legal fees unless otherwise required by law. Arbitration is final, binding, and replaces the right to go to court or have a jury trial.

If you prefer not to agree to arbitration, you may opt out within thirty (30) days of your first acceptance of this Waiver by emailing treasurehunter@sanfranciscovintage.com with "Arbitration Opt Out" in the subject line and including your full name and ticketing email.

24.Entire Agreement; Updates

This Waiver constitutes the entire understanding between you and San Francisco Vintage regarding Event participation and supersedes all prior communications.
