ARTICLE 7 — CHILDREN'S PARTICIPATION
7.1 Parent Responsibility for Participation Decisions
The decision to register or permit a Child to participate in any Activity rests solely with the Parent or Guardian.
ORYN Quest does not determine whether any Activity is appropriate for any particular Child and does not represent or warrant that participation will be beneficial, safe, suitable, or consistent with a Child's physical abilities, emotional development, educational needs, behavioral profile, interests, medical condition, allergies, disabilities, sensory sensitivities, developmental stage, or personal preferences.
Parents are solely responsible for determining whether participation is appropriate.
7.2 Health and Medical Information
Parents are responsible for informing Vendors of any material medical conditions, allergies, dietary restrictions, mobility limitations, behavioral concerns, emergency medical considerations, medications, sensory needs, communication requirements, seizure disorders, chronic illnesses, or other information that may reasonably affect a Child's participation or safety.
ORYN Quest does not independently verify, review, interpret, monitor, or transmit medical information except as reasonably necessary to facilitate Platform functionality.
Parents acknowledge that failure to disclose relevant information may increase the risk of injury or other adverse outcomes and remains solely the Parent's responsibility.
7.3 Behavioral Expectations
Parents acknowledge that Vendors may establish reasonable behavioral expectations, codes of conduct, participation standards, safety rules, dress requirements, equipment requirements, attendance policies, and disciplinary procedures.
Parents agree to ensure that participating Children comply with all lawful Vendor rules.
Nothing in this Agreement obligates a Vendor to permit continued participation where a Child's conduct presents a safety concern, materially disrupts an Activity, threatens another participant, damages property, violates applicable rules, or otherwise interferes with the operation of the Activity.
7.4 Removal From Activities
A Vendor may remove, suspend, deny entry to, or require the immediate pickup of a Child if, in the Vendor's reasonable judgment:
- (a) continued participation presents a safety concern;
- (b) the Child requires medical attention;
- (c) the Child's conduct materially disrupts the Activity;
- (d) the Child engages in violent, threatening, abusive, unlawful, discriminatory, or dangerous conduct;
- (e) required participation documentation has not been completed;
- (f) required payments have not been received; or

ORYN Quest shall not be responsible for any costs, losses, refunds, transportation expenses, childcare expenses, emotional distress, or other damages arising from such removal.
7.5 Parent Availability
Parents agree to remain reasonably reachable during a Child's participation in any Activity.
Parents shall maintain current emergency contact information and shall promptly respond to communications from Vendors regarding emergencies, injuries, illnesses, behavioral incidents, schedule changes, early dismissal, or other material matters.
Failure to remain reasonably available may result in suspension of booking privileges or other actions reasonably necessary to protect participating Children.
7.6 Attendance Responsibility
Parents are responsible for ensuring timely attendance.
ORYN Quest makes no representation that late arrivals will be admitted or that missed portions of an Activity may be rescheduled, refunded, or credited.
Attendance policies shall be determined by the applicable Vendor unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.
7.7 Photography, Audio, and Video
Certain Activities may involve photography, audio recording, video recording, livestreaming, performances, competitions, exhibitions, promotional events, or similar activities conducted by Vendors.
ORYN Quest does not control Vendor media practices.
Parents remain responsible for reviewing Vendor media policies before permitting participation.
Where ORYN Quest itself requests permission to capture or use a Child's name, likeness, voice, image, or other identifying information for marketing, promotional, educational, testimonial, social media, advertising, or similar purposes, ORYN Quest shall obtain any consent required by Applicable Law.
Parents may decline optional promotional consents without affecting access to the Platform unless a particular Activity reasonably requires photography or recording as an inherent component of participation.
7.8 Lost or Damaged Property
ORYN Quest shall not be responsible for the loss, theft, destruction, or damage of clothing, electronics, athletic equipment, musical instruments, assistive devices, jewelry, personal belongings, school supplies, vehicles, or any other property brought to an Activity.
Parents are encouraged to label valuable items and avoid bringing unnecessary valuables whenever practical.
7.9 Special Accommodations
ORYN Quest may provide functionality allowing Parents to submit accommodation requests to Vendors.
Submission of an accommodation request does not constitute acceptance by a Vendor or a guarantee that requested accommodations can be implemented.
Each Vendor remains solely responsible for determining whether requested accommodations can reasonably be provided consistent with Applicable Law and the Vendor's facilities, staffing, expertise, operational capabilities, and safety considerations.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require a Vendor or ORYN Quest to fundamentally alter the nature of an Activity or provide accommodations beyond those required by Applicable Law.
7.10 Independent Educational Decisions
Activities available through the Platform are selected by Parents.
ORYN Quest does not recommend educational programs as a substitute for professional educational evaluation, individualized education programs (IEPs), Section 504 plans, medical treatment, behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy, psychological services, counseling, or any other licensed professional services.
Parents remain solely responsible for educational, developmental, behavioral, therapeutic, and medical decisions affecting their Children.
7.11 Assumption of Ordinary Risks
Parents acknowledge that participation in Activities inherently involves varying degrees of risk, including risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care exercised by Vendors, instructors, participants, ORYN Quest, or others.

- sensory accommodations;
- autism-related supports;
- communication preferences;
- behavioral supports;

ORYN Quest may designate certain Activities or Vendors with informational labels or badges indicating that they have represented certain accessibility features, inclusive programming, adaptive instruction, sensory accommodations, or similar characteristics.
Such designations are informational only.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing by ORYN Quest, these designations do not constitute certifications, endorsements, guarantees, legal determinations, or representations that a Vendor complies with any particular accessibility standard.
Parents remain responsible for independently confirming that an Activity meets the needs of their Child.

ORYN Quest may permit Parents to submit accessibility-related feedback concerning Activities or Vendors.
Parents agree that such feedback shall be truthful, based upon actual experience, and submitted in good faith.

ARTICLE 10 — INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY PROVISIONS
ORYN Quest is initially designed as a United States-based Platform.

These provisions apply only to the extent required by Applicable Law.
10.1 International Transfers
Personal Information may be processed, transferred, or stored in the United States and other jurisdictions where ORYN Quest, its affiliates, service providers, cloud providers, AI providers, payment processors, or business partners operate.

ORYN Quest does not own, operate, supervise, manage, or control the vast majority of Activities offered through the Platform. Because participation in children’s Activities may involve inherent risks, this Waiver allocates responsibility among Parents, Vendors, and ORYN Quest and establishes important limitations on ORYN Quest’s liability.

ARTICLE 7 — MEDICAL CARE
If a medical emergency occurs during an Activity, Parent authorizes the applicable Vendor to seek emergency medical assistance when reasonably necessary and when Parent or an emergency contact cannot be reached in sufficient time. Parent understands that:
- emergency responders;

- or other emergency personnel
may provide treatment based upon their independent professional judgment.
