5. Restrictions
A. You agree not to, and will not assist, encourage, or enable others to use our Services to:
A. Events and Acceptance of Terms.
As used below, the term “WI Event” means an event, gathering, promotion, contest, meet-up or the like that is organized or hosted by UTC. A “Non-WI Event” means an event, gathering, promotion, contest, meet-up or the like that is organized or hosted by someone other than UTC, but that may appear or be listed on our Services. In order to participate or attend a WI Event you must agree to the terms in this Section 6. If you find that you cannot or will not agree to such terms, please do not RSVP to or attend any WI Event. If you RSVP to any WI Event or Non-WI Event through our Services, you signal that you have read, understand and agree to these event terms.
B. Assumption of risk/release of liability/indemnity
Although we try to create a safe environment at WI Events, accidents happen. We ask that you do your part to help limit the possibility that you might get injured at a WI Event. You agree to carefully consider the inherent risks in any activities that you choose to take part in and to take reasonable precautions before you choose to attend or participate at a WI Event. For example, you should ensure that you are in good physical health before engaging in any physical activity at a WI Event, and you should always drink responsibly given the risks associated with drunk driving and participating in activities while your judgment is impaired. Second, please note that some of the other WI Event guests may be less responsible than you, and may themselves create additional risks to you despite their best intentions. In summary, you understand that your attendance and participation at
WI Events is voluntary, and you agree to assume responsibility for any resulting injuries to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. By the same token, you agree that UTC is not responsible for any injuries you might sustain at Non-WI Events listed on our Services.
You (for yourself, your heirs, personal representatives, or assigns, and anyone else who might make a claim on your behalf) hereby release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue, UTC and its respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, members, agents, employees, vendors, sponsors and volunteers from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses or expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may arise out of, result from, or relate in any way to your attendance at any WI Event or Non-WI Event, except for any gross negligence or willful misconduct on our part.
You further agree to indemnify and hold WI, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives harmless, including costs, liabilities and legal fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to, related to, or connected with your attendance or conduct at any WI Event or Non-WI Event.
C. Photos
UTC and its sponsors and vendors sometimes take photos and videos at WI Events, and later use them for promotional purposes. By participating or attending any WI Event, you agree that you may appear in some of these photos and videos, and you authorize their use in this fashion. In addition, if you take any photos or videos of attendees at a WI Event and provide them to us, you authorize us to use them in the same fashion, and represent that the attendees that appear in your photos and videos have consented to such use. We do not control Non-WI Events or the people that organize them. It is possible that organizers or attendees of Non-WI Events will take photos or shoot videos in which you appear and then post them online (including, possibly, on our Services). By RSVP’ing to a Non-WI Event through our Services, you authorize UTC’ use of such media for promotion purposes.
D. Termination.
While we hope not to, we may prohibit your attendance at any WI Event at any time if you fail to abide by the Terms, including this Section 6, or for any or no reason, without notice or liability of any kind. We reserve the right to cancel any WI Event at any time, for any reason, and without liability or prejudice.
E. Unofficial Events
From time to time, members of the UTC community organize their own meet-ups and events. Although UTC representatives sometimes join in the fun, such events are Non-WI Events and are not sponsored or endorsed by UTC, even when promoted through our Services. All terms and conditions related to Non-WI Events apply equally to such events. If you organize such an event, you agree not to create the impression that it is sponsored or endorsed by UTC. You agree that you will not represent yourself as an employee, representative, or agent of UTC(unless, of course, you are actually employed by UTC, in which case these Terms will govern your participation in any WI Event to the extent such Terms are not inconsistent with UTC’ standard employment agreements or policies).

UTC reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims.
