QBANC TERMS AND CONDITIONS/RELEASE OF LIABILITY

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

General Liability Waiver

All activities of the Qualicum Beach and Area Newcomers Club (“QBANC” or “the Club”) are arranged and carried out by its members, without remuneration, solely for the benefit of QBANC members. It is a condition of membership that members accept that neither QBANC, its Executive Committee and volunteers, nor any member shall be liable to any other member or non-member or pet for damages or injury, however caused, suffered as a result of a person’s participation in any activity, event or other function arranged or conducted by QBANC.  I hereby waive QBANC from any liability of injury or loss, or damage to personal property associated with activities, events or other functions in which I, or any of my family members or friends, participate, whether this injury, loss or damage is known or unknown, present or future, and however arising. I agree not to bring a claim against QBANC, its Executive Committee or volunteers, or organizers of any Club event, activity or other function.  I understand and agree that my participation in all QBANC activities, events and other functions are done exclusively at my own risk and I accept full and all responsibility for my own safety, welfare and security.

Social Host Alcohol Liability at QBANC Events 

QBANC’s insurance coverage does not provide alcohol-related liability coverage for social situations in members’ homes where members are serving alcohol. When alcohol is served at a private residence as part of a QBANC event, the host is expected to responsibly oversee the serving of alcohol, just as she would when entertaining personal friends or family members. Members hosting events in their homes should ensure they have appropriate liability coverage through their homeowner’s or renter’s insurance. The Insurance Bureau of Canada site provides useful information.

Privacy of Personal Information 

QBANC only collects, uses and discloses member information that is necessary to fulfill Club purposes.  This includes such things as processing your application for membership in QBANC and for the following related purposes: to register you for Club events, activities and other functions; to create a membership roster for use by Club members in accordance with the Bylaws; to provide you with membership information included newsletters and notices; and to meet regulatory requirements under the Societies Act and the Personal Information Protection Act.
