Terms and Conditions

The entry fee to participate in the Game is $5.00 USD per Participant. This fee is collected at the time of registration. All entry fees collected will be donated in full to the Young Center.

The prize awarded to the last remaining Participant (such as a television or other item) is purchased separately by the Organizers and is not funded by entry fees. The prize and its details will be announced prior to the Game start date.

Entry fees are non-refundable once the Game has officially started.

If the Game does not reach the minimum required number of Participants before the scheduled start date, the Game will be cancelled and all entry fees will be refunded in full within 14 business days.

If the Game is cancelled by the Organizers for any other reason prior to the start date, all entry fees will be refunded in full.

No refunds will be issued to Participants who are eliminated during the course of the Game.

Upon the Game's start, each Participant will be secretly assigned a target (another Participant). Your objective is to "clip" your target by placing a clothespin on them. When you successfully clip your target, you inherit their target. The last Participant remaining wins the prize.

A clip is only valid when:

1. The clothespin is physically placed on the target's clothing
2. Photographic proof of the clip is submitted through the Game's website within a reasonable timeframe
3. The clip occurs in a permitted location and during permitted hours

Clipping is not permitted in the following locations and circumstances:

1. During academic hours (classrooms, lab, or academic building during scheduled class time)
2. Inside the Mudd Library at all times
3. Inside resident rooms
4. Inside resident halls during quiet hours (defined by Lawrence University)
5. During official Lawrence University performances
6. At any Participant's place of employment during working hours
7. Any additional locations or times communicated by the Organizers prior to or during the Game

The Organizers reserve the right to modify restricted areas and times at any time. Participants will be notified of any changes through the Game's website.

The following conduct is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate disqualification without refund:

1. Using physical force, grabbing, restraining, or making unwanted physical contact beyond placing a clothespin
2. Throwing clothespins at a target
3. Entering restricted areas for the purpose of clipping
4. Submitting false or fabricated photographic evidence
5. Harassing, stalking, intimidating, or threatening any Participant
6. Trespassing on private property or violating any Lawrence University policy
7. Any conduct that violates local, state, or federal law

To operate the Game, we collect the following information:

1. Your name and Lawrence University email address
2. A profile photo for target identification
3. Photos submitted as clip verification
4. Game activity data (clip history, status, timestamps)

Your data is used exclusively for the operation of the Game. We do not sell, share, or distribute your personal information to any third party. Data may be shared with the Game's administrative team for dispute resolution and game management purposes.

By participating in the Game, you grant the Organizers a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use photographs submitted during gameplay (including clip verification photos and your profile photo) for the following purposes:

1. Announcing eliminations and game updates on the Game's website and associated social media accounts
2. Promoting the Game and future events organized by Beta Theta Pi, Gamma Pi Chapter

Photos will not be used for commercial purposes outside of Game promotion. If you wish to have a specific photo removed after the Game concludes, you may contact the Organizers and reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate your request.

Personal data and photographs will be retained for the duration of the Game and for up to 30 days following its conclusion. After this period, all personal data will be permanently deleted. Aggregate, anonymized data (such as total participants and funds raised) may be retained indefinitely for record-keeping purposes.

By participating, you consent to having your name and clip count displayed on a public leaderboard visible to all Participants through the Game's website.

By registering for and participating in the Game, you acknowledge that participation involves physical activity on the Lawrence University campus and surrounding areas. You voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation, including but not limited to the risk of minor physical injury, property damage, or emotional distress.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Beta Theta Pi (Gamma Pi chapter), its members, officers, and the Game's organizers and administrators (collectively, the "Organizers") shall not be held liable for any injury, loss, damage, or claim arising out of or in connection with participation in the Game. This includes, without limitation:

1. Personal injury sustained during gameplay
2. Damage to or loss of personal property
3. Disputes between Participants
4. Any consequences resulting from a Participant's violation of Lawrence University policies or applicable law

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Organizers from and against any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your participation in the Game or your breach of these Terms.
