Terms of Use & Event Waiver

I acknowledge that the Cars for Cops & Kids Car Show (“Event”) involves the display, movement, and operation of motor vehicles — including classic, exotic, and specialty vehicles — in a public park setting. I understand and voluntarily assume all risks associated with participating in or attending the Event, including but not limited to:

• Exposure to operating motor vehicles and associated noise, fumes, and fluids.
• Uneven terrain, outdoor weather conditions (sun, heat, wind, dust), and slippery surfaces.
• Interaction with members of the public, animals, and law enforcement or first-responder vehicles on display.
• Risks inherent to outdoor, public events including, without limitation, accidents, falls, or crowd-related incidents.
• With respect to vehicle registrants specifically: damage to or theft from my vehicle while on the show field, parking area, or in transit to or from the Event, whether caused by another vehicle, the environment, or any third party.

In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Event, I — on behalf of myself, my heirs, assigns, and legal representatives — hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the following parties (collectively, “Released Parties”):

• The Rotary Club of Glendale and its officers, directors, members, and volunteers;
• The Dad's Club of Verdugo Woodlands and its officers, members, and volunteers;
• The Cars for Cops & Kids organizing committee and all individual organizers;
• The City of Glendale (as the owner of Verdugo Park, where applicable);
• Event sponsors, vendors, and contractors acting on behalf of the Event;

from any and all liability, claims, demands, losses, damages, costs, and expenses arising out of or in connection with my participation in the Event — including claims based on negligence — to the fullest extent permitted by California law.

I grant the Released Parties and their authorized representatives permission to photograph, film, and record me and my vehicle at the Event, and to use such images, video, and recordings for promotional, educational, and archival purposes — including on this website, social media, print materials, and press releases — without further notice, consent, or compensation.

I represent that my vehicle is legally registered, insured in accordance with California law, and in roadworthy condition. I am solely responsible for the safe operation and movement of my vehicle on Event grounds, including during load-in, positioning, and load-out. I will follow all volunteer and staff directions regarding vehicle movement.

I understand that the Released Parties accept no responsibility for damage to, theft of, or loss of my vehicle or any items left in or around my vehicle during the Event.

I agree to conduct myself in a safe, respectful, and lawful manner at all times during the Event. This includes:

• No unsafe vehicle operation (burnouts, excessive revving, reckless movement) anywhere on Event grounds.
• No harassment, threatening behavior, or conduct that disrupts the peaceful enjoyment of the Event by others.
• Compliance with all applicable laws and with reasonable directions from Event organizers and law enforcement.
• Responsible consumption of alcohol only in designated areas; no intoxicated vehicle operation.

The organizing committee reserves the right to remove any participant or spectator who violates this Code of Conduct, without refund.

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from my participation in the Event, my vehicle, or any breach of this Waiver by me or anyone acting under my supervision.
