TICKET FULFILLMENT

FOOD AND FOOD VENDORS

PROVISIONS
Bearer understands that Bearer must bring enough food, water, shelter, and first aid to last the duration of the Event in a potentially harsh environment. See the Camping FAQ for more information and packing guidelines.
VEHICLE PASSES
ALL VEHICLES DRIVEN INTO THE EVENT MUST HAVE A CAR CAMPING OR RV PASS DISPLAYED IN THE WINDSHIELD. Bearer understands that a vehicle pass only grants the ability to drive a vehicle into the Event site and directly to the camp location as directed by Event staff and that a vehicle pass does not grant any additional on-site driving privileges. UNAUTHORIZED DRIVING WITHIN THE EVENT SITE IS PROHIBITED. Each stand-alone vehicle driven through the Event gate must have a vehicle pass. Management reserves the right to subject the use of vehicle passes to further terms and conditions, which would be published on the Site and/or at the Event.
Bearer understands that vehicle passes are not Event tickets and do not grant any person entry into the Event without a separate Event ticket. Likewise, the purchase of an Event ticket does not include the right to drive a motor vehicle into the Event or reserve a vehicle pass for that Bearer. Bearer understands that they may not purchase ONLY a vehicle pass; to purchase a vehicle pass, Bearer must also purchase at least one Event ticket. Bearer understands that if they (or Purchaser) purchase only a vehicle pass, the order may be canceled. No ticket refunds will be issued because the Bearer (or Purchaser) neglected or was unable to acquire a vehicle pass from Gem and Jam. To help mitigate traffic issues, Management reserves the right to limit the number of car camping and RV camping passes available for the Event, and the number of vehicle passes an individual may purchase. See the Camping FAQ for more information.
RECYCLING / TRASH REMOVAL
The Event is a “pack it in, pack it out” event and we strive to have zero impact on the land used or possessed during the Event. Bearer agrees to use only designated trash and/or recycling receptacles prior to, during and after the event. Bearer agrees under no circumstance to leave trash or recycling in the Event confines or anywhere surrounding the venue. Gem and Jam asks that you not bring single serve plastic bottles into the Event. Trash or recycling may not be buried, burned or disposed of in any body of water. Violation of these terms may lead to immediate expulsion from the Event.

No minor will be allowed to enter the Event without a parent or court designated legal guardian (paperwork must be provided to Gem and Jam proving such guardianship) over the age of 25. All minors over the age of 6 must have a ticket purchased at the box office prior to entering the Event.

FINAL AGREEMENT
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and enforced according to the laws of the State of California without regard to any rules relating to conflicts of laws. Bearer understands that any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions must be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Phoenix, AZ and Bearer will submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

Further, the provision that has been deemed to be invalid or ineffective shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. The heading at the beginning of each section is for reference purposes and no way defines the scope or extent of such paragraph.
Bearer understands that these Terms and Conditions may be changed by Gem and Jam prior to the Event, and if so, the revised Terms and Conditions will apply to the Bearer. Bearer’s use of a ticket, wristband or other entry credential for entry to the Event signifies Bearer’s binding agreement to the Terms and Conditions in effect at the time of Bearer’s entry to the Event.
