  • Your participation in the Activities

  • Your breach of this waiver

  • Your negligent or wrongful acts

 

8. Photography & Media Consent

You acknowledge and agree that BJJ Escapes may photograph or record you during the Activities for promotional, marketing, or educational purposes, including use on websites and social media.

Unless you expressly notify BJJ Escapes staff otherwise, you consent to BJJ Escapes capturing, storing, using, and publishing such images and recordings without compensation.
