PARTICIPANT PHOTOS

The Park District/CUSR occasionally takes photographs or video of participants for promoting/advertising our programs, services, events, activities, and facilities in our brochures, website or agency social media, and other promotional avenues. By registering for, participating in or attending Park District/CUSR programs, events, or other activities, the participant (or parent/guardian of a minor participant) irrevocably agrees to the use and distribution by the Park District/CUSR of his or her image (or of his minor child/ward) in photographs, video recordings, and any other electronic reproductions of such programs, events and activities for any purpose without inspection or approval and without compensation, rights to royalties or any other consideration now and in the future.

CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS

Refunds will be given only through the second meeting of any program unless the Park District cancels the program or the participant experiences a medical problem which prohibits program participation. When a medical problem exists, the refund will be a prorated amount based on the number of sessions remaining in the program less the service charge. There will be a $5 service charge for refunds issued due to participant cancellation (per participant/per occurrence) unless stated otherwise in program description. In cases where the minimum number of registrants is not received for a program, the Park District may have to cancel the program. In cases of program cancellations, full refunds will be issued to all registrants.
