Sequim Irrigation Festival Website Terms of Use

Effective Date: January 11, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Sequim Irrigation Festival website, including any pages, online forms, and services made available through it (the “Site”). The Site is operated by the Sequim Irrigation Festival (“Festival,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

We are 100% volunteer-run. We do our best to keep information accurate and respond quickly, but some responses and updates may take time due to volunteer availability.

By accessing or using the Site, submitting information through our online forms, or purchasing merchandise (when available), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1) Who We Are and What This Covers

These Terms apply to:

Browsing and using the Site
Submitting information through online registration or participation forms
Downloads (including PDFs, applications, rules, and guidelines)
Festival merchandise purchases made through the Site (when available)
Any content you submit to us through the Site (including text, images, designs, or other materials)

2) Changes to the Site or Terms

We may update the Site and these Terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

3) Eligibility

You must be able to form a legally binding contract to use the Site. If you use the Site on behalf of an organization (for example, a business, club, or sponsor), you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on that organization’s behalf.

4) Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy: [link to Privacy Policy].
By using the Site, you agree that we may collect and use information as described there.

5) Online Forms, Registrations, and Submissions

When you submit a form (for example, vendor registration, parade participation, contests, volunteering, sponsorship interest, or other applications), you agree that:

The information you provide is accurate, current, and complete
You will update your information if anything changes
Form submission does not guarantee acceptance unless explicitly stated
Deadlines, eligibility requirements, fees (if any), and additional rules may apply and are provided on the relevant event page, application packet, or form
We may contact you using the information you provide (including email or phone) to confirm details, request additional information, or share updates related to your submission.

6) Event Information Disclaimer

We work hard to keep Festival information accurate, but details can change.

Festival schedules, locations, pricing, rules, deadlines, and availability are provided “as is” and may be updated due to weather, safety issues, staffing, venue needs, or other operational reasons. We are not responsible for losses caused by reliance on outdated, incomplete, or changed information.

7) Merchandise Purchases and Payments (Stripe)

If and when we sell merchandise (and/or accept other payments) through the Site, payments are processed by a third-party payment processor, currently Stripe (“Payment Processor”). The Festival does not receive or store your full payment card number.

By making a purchase, you authorize the Payment Processor to charge your selected payment method for the total amount shown at checkout, including any applicable taxes and fees. Your payment transaction may be subject to the Payment Processor’s terms, policies, and privacy practices in addition to these Terms.

We may correct pricing errors, limit quantities, discontinue items, or cancel/refuse orders in our discretion (including for suspected fraud, inventory issues, or mistakes).

Fulfillment, Returns, and Refunds:
Any shipping/pickup details and return/refund rules will be posted at checkout or on the merchandise page and are incorporated into these Terms.

7.1) Chargebacks and Disputed Payments

If you have a question about a charge, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. If a payment is disputed through your bank or card issuer (a “chargeback”), we may request additional information to validate the transaction and/or pause fulfillment while the dispute is reviewed.

8) Third-Party Services and Links

The Site may include links or integrations to third-party services (for example, Stripe checkout, Google services, embedded maps, social media, or external registration platforms). We do not control those third-party sites or services and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and privacy policies.

9) Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the Site and its content—text, graphics, logos, photos, layouts, and downloadable materials—are owned by or licensed to the Festival and are protected by intellectual property laws.

You may view, download, and print materials for personal, non-commercial use related to Festival participation. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, modify, distribute, sell, or exploit Site content without our prior written permission.

10) User Content and Submission Rights

Some parts of the Site may allow you to submit content (for example: contest entries, designs, photos, descriptions, or other materials) (“User Content”).

By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that:

You own the content or have permission to submit it
Your submission does not infringe anyone else’s rights (copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, etc.)
Your submission complies with any posted rules and guidelines

Permission to Use Submissions:
Unless a specific contest or event rule states otherwise, you grant the Festival a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, publish, and distribute your User Content for Festival-related purposes, including promotion of the Festival (for example, on the Site, social media, press releases, and printed materials).

If you want limitations (for example, attribution preferences), include that in your submission notes when possible; we’ll make reasonable efforts but cannot guarantee placement in all contexts.

We may remove or decline User Content at any time.
