Diwali 2026 Event Terms

These event terms apply to contributions and registrations for the Hope & Light Diwali 2026 celebration on Saturday, November 7, 2026. By purchasing or registering for a contribution, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these terms on behalf of yourself and any minors included in your registration.

Event details and changes

Hope & Light may make reasonable changes to the event schedule, program, performers, activities, venue arrangements, or other event details when circumstances require it. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate material changes using the contact information provided during registration.

Contributions, registration, cancellations, and refunds

Registration and payment are processed through Zeffy. Any event-specific cancellation, refund, contribution transfer, or payment policy displayed during registration will apply to your purchase. Unless otherwise stated during registration, contributions are valid only for the event and date for which they were purchased.

Parent or guardian responsibility

A parent or legal guardian should complete registration for any attendee under 18 and is responsible for supervising minors in their care during the event. Children should not submit registration or payment information independently.

Photography and video

Photography and video recording may take place during Diwali 2026. Images or recordings from the event may be used by Hope & Light for community, educational, historical, website, social media, and promotional purposes.

By purchasing or registering for contributions, you acknowledge that you and members of your registered party may appear incidentally in event photographs or video. This acknowledgment also applies to minors included in a registration completed by their parent or legal guardian.

Requests concerning photographs of children

Parents and legal guardians may request that a photograph or video featuring their child be removed from Hope & Light-controlled websites or social media accounts. Send the request to hopeandlightaz@gmail.com and, when possible, include a link, screenshot, or description that helps us identify the image.

Hope & Light will make reasonable efforts to remove identified material from channels we control. We cannot guarantee removal from third-party websites, social media accounts, news coverage, personal attendee accounts, search engine caches, or copies that others have already downloaded or shared.

Personal photography by attendees

Guests may take personal photographs or video during the event unless otherwise directed by event staff. Attendees are expected to be respectful of other guests and should not interfere with performances, event operations, or another person's reasonable request for privacy.

Conduct and safety

Attendees are expected to behave respectfully and follow reasonable instructions from event staff and venue personnel. Hope & Light reserves the right to ask an attendee to leave if their behavior creates a safety concern, materially disrupts the event, or substantially interferes with the experience of others.

Assumption of ordinary event risks

Attendance at an in-person community event involves ordinary risks associated with crowds, movement through the venue, food service, performances, and other event activities. Attendees are responsible for exercising reasonable care for themselves and minors under their supervision and for informing event staff of any immediate safety concern.

Food, allergies, and dietary needs

If food is served, Hope & Light cannot guarantee that food or food-service areas will be free from specific allergens or cross-contact. Guests with food allergies or dietary restrictions should use their own judgment and ask event or venue staff about available information before consuming food.

Third-party services

Contributioning and payment services are provided through Zeffy, and the event venue and other vendors may provide services independently. Use of those services may also be subject to the provider's own terms, policies, and procedures.

Agreement to these terms

By completing a contribution purchase or registration for Diwali 2026, you confirm that you have read and agree to these event terms and, if you are registering minors, that you are authorized to agree to these terms on their behalf.
