Such publicity may occur through any medium or channel, including but not limited to the Internet, social media, television, radio, newspaper, or other means whether electronic or otherwise.

The undersigned Challenger acknowledges that the Challenge involves consumption of a large quantity of calories in a short period of time carrying risks of personal injury, illness, death, and/or other health-related issues. The Challenger represents and warrants to Fat Shack that Challenger is in good health and suffering from no condition, impairment, disease, infirmity, allergy, or other illness that would make their participation in the Challenge not advisable. The Challenger voluntarily enters the Fat Shack 5K Challenge with full knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the dangers involved, and assumes all foreseen and unforeseen risks related to the Challenge. The Challenger, as a condition of entry, hereby unconditionally releases, discharges, holds harmless, promises not to sue, and agrees to defend and indemnify Fat Shack, Fat Shack Inc., all other Fat Shack franchisees, and their affiliated companies; their vendors; their advertising, promotion and public relations agencies; co-sponsoring companies and their affiliates/agencies, and all officers, directors, employees and agents of the aforesaid entities (collectively, the “Fat Shack Parties”), from any claims, damages, losses, injuries, and/or costs, including attorneys’ fees, that directly or indirectly relate to or arise from participation in or connection with this Challenge as well as the receipt or use of any reward. This expressly includes any claims for personal injury or death, even if arising from the negligence or breach of warranty by any such Fat Shack Party. The Challenger acknowledges and agrees that these rules and terms are intended to, and do, in fact, release the Fat Shack Parties from any and all claims, damages, losses, injuries, and/or costs of any kind arising from participation in or connection with this Challenge or the receipt or use of any reward. In no event shall any Fat Shack Party be liable to a Challenger for acts or omissions arising out of, or related to, the Challenge or the Challenger’s participation in the Challenge. The Challenger acknowledges and agrees that the Challenger is solely responsible for all expenses, medical or otherwise, that the Challenger may incur based on participating in the Challenge, whether or not Challenger has medical insurance or not. The release in this paragraph is intended to be as broad and inclusive as possible under applicable law.
The Challenger acknowledges that the Challenger’s participation in the Challenge is for their own personal benefit and entertainment, and is entirely voluntary. Such participation serves no public purpose. The Challenger is under no obligation or compulsion to participate in the Challenge.
The Fat Shack Parties are not responsible for: any incorrect or inaccurate decisions or judgments; human error; technical malfunctions; failures, omissions, interruptions, deletions, or defects of any power or communications networks; theft, tampering, destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of communications; printing or other errors; or any combination thereof.

Fat Shack has sole and complete discretion regarding all 5K Challenge-related matters. All decisions regarding the qualification, selection, or disqualification of a Challenger or winner shall be subject to the sole and complete discretion of Fat Shack. A Challenger may be disqualified for any reason at any time.

By participating in the Challenge, the Challenger agrees that any conflict or disagreement that cannot be resolved between the Challenger and Fat Shack will be resolved individually without resort to any form of class action. The Challenger further agrees that any such disputes will be submitted to the courts of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Colorado, and such courts will be the sole jurisdiction and venue for resolving any such dispute. ANY CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS AND/OR AWARDS SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ENTERING THIS CHALLENGE. AND THE CHALLENGER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS OR CLAIMS TO ATTORNEY’S FEES, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF THE CHALLENGER, IDENTIFIABLE PERSONS, OR THIRD PARTY PARTICIPANTS, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT AND WHETHER BASED ON NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE.
The Challenger is subject to all laws of the state, province and/or country in which the Challenger participates in the Challenge, and the Challenger is solely responsible for obeying those laws. The Challenger agrees that Fat Shack cannot be held liable if laws applicable to the Challenger restrict or prohibit the Challenger’s participation or receipt of a reward. Participation in the Challenge is not permitted where such participation is prohibited. Fat Shack makes no representations or warranties, implicit or explicit, as to a Challenger’s legal right to participate in the Challenge. These rules and terms constitute the entire agreement between the Challenger and Fat Shack and cannot be modified by the Challenger. Fat Shack reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify these rules and terms. If any portion of these rules and terms is deemed void or unenforceable, then the parties hereby request and authorize the court to “blue pencil” such provision so as to make it enforceable and to best carry out the intent of the parties, or to deem such provision severed from these rules and terms if it cannot be so modified. The holding, declaration or pronouncement shall not adversely affect any other provisions of these rules and terms, which shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
