IN CONSIDERATION of being permitted to rent a Private Theater or host a Private Event ("The Event") at RJ Cinema (the "Venue"), the individual specified on the registration (referred to as “I”, “Me,” “Attendee,” “Customer,” “Guest,” or “Entrant”) and, as applicable, on behalf of myself and my heirs, assigns, executors, administrators, next of kin, and other persons acting or purporting to act on my behalf (collectively, "Related Persons"), hereby acknowledge and agree to the terms below by submitting my registration to rent a Private Theater or host a Private Event at RJ Cinema.

THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE IN ADDITION TO ANY TERMS AND CONDITIONS ESTABLISHED BY THE VENUE. I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims, now known or hereafter known, against RJ Cinema, and its officers, directors, manager(s), employees, agents, affiliates, shareholders/members, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Released Parties").

1. ADMITTANCE. In its sole discretion and without refund, RJ Cinema reserves the right to refuse admittance to or expel from the premises anyone that it determines is behaving in a manner that could be disruptive to the Event or pose any danger to any other attendee. Customer consents and agrees that in such event, it shall not be entitled to a refund of any portion of amounts paid. Breach of any of the terms herein shall entitle RJ Cinema to all available legal remedies.

2. CONDUCT. Any customer conduct that restricts or inhibits any other patron from enjoying the use of any part of RJ Cinema, as determined by RJ Cinema, in its sole discretion, will not be permitted. Customer’s reservation is for a private theater or event rental. Customer may not advertise the event to the public without the expressed written consent of RJ Cinema, or in any way leverage the RJ Cinema name, trademarks (“Marks”) to promote customer’s reservation, outside of customer’s privately invited guests. Any unauthorized use of RJ marks will cause cancellation of customer’s reservation and any paid deposit forfeited.

3. EXPRESSED VIEWS: Views expressed by any attendee at the Event are their own. RJ Cinema shall have no liability for advice given, or views expressed, by any attendee at the Event or in any material provided to attendees. Customer is prohibited from making any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, fraudulent, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including, but not limited to any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law associated with your event. RJ Cinema will determine, in their sole opinion, the foregoing.

4. FILMS/CONTENT. New Films: RJ Cinema offers new movies to the public weekly. These movies are available to view in a private theater experience. Ticketing costs for the new movies are identified prior to your reservation and may change based on the number of attendees entering the private theater. This content availability is subject to restrictions made by the film distributor. Classic Films: If you wish to view non-current films, arrangement must be made twenty-one (21) days prior to your event, due to the process of ordering, receiving, and paying the licensing fee to the film distribution company. This fee varies at the discretion of the film distributor.

5. CUSTOMER SUPPLIED CONTENT. Customer-supplied video content must be approved by RJ Cinema on a case-by-case basis. The customer must supply the content to RJ Cinema seven (7) days in advance of the event for review and approval. Video content will not be played without written pre-authorization by RJ Cinema. RJ Cinema reserves the right to refuse any customer-supplied content for any reason, at any time, in its sole discretion.

No unauthorized advertisements or pornographic materials permitted.

6. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF COVID-19 & OTHER RISKS. I fully understand that: the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and any resulting disease (together with any variation thereof, "COVID-19") is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death, and there is an inherent danger and risk of exposure to COVID-19 in any place where people are present; no Safety Protocols (as defined below) can eliminate the risk of exposure to COVID-19; while people of all ages and health conditions can be and have been adversely affected by COVID-19, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health authorities (i) people with certain underlying medical conditions are or may be especially vulnerable; and (ii) the risk of severe illness from the contraction of COVID-19 increases steadily with age, and contracting COVID-19 can result in the further transmission of COVID-19 to Customer’s spouse, family members, and other persons in proximity to Customer’s; and exposure to COVID-19 can result in subsequent quarantine, illness, disability, other short-term and long-term physical and/or mental health effects, and/or death, regardless of age or health condition at the time of exposure and/or infection.
