Terms of Service

By requesting a booking, creating an account, or taking part in one of our events, you agree to these terms. You must be at least 18 to request a booking, hold an account, or sign a waiver.

These terms are between you and [NEEDS YOUR INPUT: registered legal entity name, e.g. Run & Gun Battlegrounds LLC], trading as Run & Gun Battlegrounds.

We bring a mobile GellyBall experience to a location you arrange. Private events run for 2, 4 or 6 hours and include blasters, protective gear for active players, all 4 game modes, and a referee to run the games.

We also run pop-up battle zones at festivals and public events, where your guests pay to play directly on the day.

Submitting a booking request does not create a confirmed booking. A request is an enquiry. We review it, confirm we can cover your date and location, and send you an invoice with the final price.

Your date is held only once the deposit is paid. Until then the date remains available to others. Payments are processed by Square.

Private events are charged at a flat rate for the session length, regardless of how many people attend. Travel is added on top at $2 per mile, charged from the first mile. Distance is calculated by a third-party mapping service from our base to the address you give us.

Cancellations made 48 hours or more before the start time receive a full refund of any deposit. Cancellations made within 48 hours forfeit the deposit. Failure to be present at the agreed time and place is charged in full.

Rescheduling more than 48 hours ahead is free, subject to availability.

If we cancel for any reason within our control, you receive a full refund including any deposit.

We operate outdoors. We will run in light rain and cold, but we will not run in lightning, high winds, severe storms, extreme heat, or conditions we judge unsafe.

That call is ours to make, in the interests of safety — usually on the morning of the event. If we cancel for weather you may reschedule at no charge or take a full refund of your deposit.

Neither of us is liable for failure to perform caused by events outside reasonable control, including severe weather, road closures, accidents, serious illness, utility failure, or government action.

You choose the location, and you are responsible for it. By booking, you confirm that:

• You have the right and any necessary permission or permit to use that location for this activity — this matters for parks, church and school grounds, office campuses, and rented property.
• There is enough clear, reasonably level space for safe play, and vehicle access for us to unload.
• You have told us about hazards we could not reasonably see, such as hidden holes, wells, septic covers, buried lines, unfenced water, or aggressive animals.
• Someone 18 or over responsible for the group is present for the whole session.

If we arrive and the location is unsafe or unusable, or permission has not been obtained, we may cancel on the spot and the cancellation terms in section 4 apply.

The minimum age to play is 6.

Every player must have a signed waiver before playing. Anyone under 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian. Anyone under 13 must have a parent or guardian present on-site for the whole session.

When you book we give you a link to share with your guests so they can sign in advance. On the day we allow a 15-minute grace period to complete any outstanding waivers; time beyond that counts against your booked session length.

Anyone without a completed waiver cannot take part, and no refund is due for that person.

Eye and face protection must be worn at all times on the field. Follow our staff's instructions. Do not aim at anyone's face or head deliberately, do not remove or modify equipment, and report any fault immediately.

We may remove any participant behaving unsafely, aggressively, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and may end the session entirely if the group cannot be run safely. No refund is due in that situation.

GellyBall activity is a physical, fast-moving sport played outdoors, and it carries real risks. By taking part, or by signing a waiver for someone in your care, you acknowledge and voluntarily accept those risks, which include but are not limited to:

• being struck by GellyBall projectiles, including at close range and on exposed skin
• eye, face, ear and dental injury, including if protective equipment is removed, misfitted or defeated
• slips, trips and falls on uneven, wet, muddy or unfamiliar ground
• collisions with other players, with stationary objects, or with field equipment
• strains, sprains, fractures and other injuries from running, dodging, crouching and diving
• heat exhaustion, dehydration, sunburn, insect bites, or reaction to cold and wet
• aggravation of an existing medical condition, and rare but serious injury

GellyBall projectiles are water-based and burst on impact, but impact can still sting, mark the skin, and injure an unprotected eye.

Participation requires a signed liability waiver. The signed waiver governs the release you give us, and you should read it before signing.

To the fullest extent permitted by North Carolina law, our total liability arising out of a booking is limited to the amount you paid us for that booking, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for gross negligence, willful or wanton conduct, or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If any part of this section is held unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.

You are responsible for damage to our equipment caused deliberately or through misuse by your group, and for damage your group causes to the venue.

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your guests' conduct, from damage to the location, or from a lack of permission to use the location.

Share your referral code and, when a new customer books with it, they take $25 off their session and you earn $25.

• The $25 applies to the session only, never to travel fees.
• Your $25 is released only once that booking is paid in full. If the balance is never settled, no reward is earned.
• One reward per new customer. A returning customer using a code still gets their discount but earns no second reward.
• You cannot use your own code on your own booking.
• Rewards can be taken as a Cash App payout or applied to a future booking.
• You are responsible for any tax on rewards you receive.
• We may change or end the program, and may withhold rewards where we reasonably believe the program is being abused.

At a pop-up battle zone, individual players pay $25 for 3 rounds. A waiver is required before playing, the same age rules apply, and payment is not refundable once play has begun.

The event organiser books our attendance and staffing; they are not paying for their guests' rounds unless agreed otherwise in writing.

Keep your details accurate and your password secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend or close an account that is misused.

The Run & Gun Battlegrounds name, logo, site content and event photography belong to us and may not be used commercially without permission.

These terms are governed by the laws of North Carolina. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Wake County, North Carolina, and both sides consent to that venue.

Before starting a formal claim, please contact us at [NEEDS YOUR INPUT: contact email address] — most problems are quicker to fix directly.

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our not enforcing a term on one occasion does not waive it. These terms, together with the signed waiver and our Privacy Policy, form the whole agreement between us.

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows when they last changed, and the terms in force when you booked apply to that booking.
