SebaHub Tim Lost Something? Participant Acknowledgement, Waiver and Release

1. Voluntary participation

I am choosing to participate voluntarily. I understand that participation may involve walking outdoors on trails, grass, sand and uneven ground and may include exposure to weather, insects, vegetation, water, other visitors and changing property conditions.

2. Eligibility and minors

An account holder may participate by confirming that they are at least 18 years old, or, if they are under 18, by confirming that their parent or legal guardian reviewed the current legal documents with them, gave permission, and will supervise their participation.

A participant under 18 may create an individual account only with that parent or legal guardian permission and supervision. A minor account holder may not register or accept this agreement for another supervised minor.

An adult account holder may separately list directly supervised minors and accept this agreement on their behalf.

3. Approved areas only

I will search only during posted hunt hours and only in areas marked as approved on the official search map or by SebaHub staff.

I will not enter:

• Private homes or neighbouring properties
• Guest accommodations or occupied campsites
• Event spaces during private bookings
• Farmyard or animal enclosures
• Construction, maintenance or storage areas
• Fenced, locked or signed restricted areas
• Water, shorelines marked as restricted, steep slopes or cliff-edge areas
• Any location closed by SebaHub staff

I understand that appearing on Tim's original route does not automatically mean that a location is open for public searching.

4. Prohibited conduct and controlled shallow digging

Digging is prohibited by default. I may disturb loose sand only when the current clue or current area instructions explicitly permit it and only inside the exact marked area described there. A general search area, photograph or route stop is not permission to dig.

When controlled shallow hand digging is expressly permitted, I will:

• Use only my hands, a hand trowel, or a short child-size beach shovel
• Follow the smaller depth stated in the clue or area instructions and never dig deeper than 12 inches (300 millimetres)
• Keep a parent or legal guardian close enough to directly supervise every minor who digs
• Stop immediately if I encounter roots, buried utilities, pipes, cables, structures, hard resistance, sharp objects, contaminated material, water or any other hazard
• Refill and smooth every disturbed spot before leaving
• Stop immediately if the area is closed or SebaHub staff instruct me to stop

I will not:

• Dig anywhere without the current explicit clue or area permission
• Use full-size shovels, powered tools, machinery or excavation equipment
• Cut trees or remove vegetation
• Climb buildings, fences, trees or structures
• Move heavy objects or damage landscaping
• Enter locked, closed or restricted areas
• Start fires
• Use vehicles, machinery or drones to search
• Disturb guests, residents, staff or private events
• Feed, touch, chase or otherwise pester the Farmyard Friends
• Leave garbage or damage any part of the village

I will follow all signs, current area labels, clue-specific limits and staff instructions immediately. A closure or staff instruction always overrides an earlier digging permission.

5. Assumption of risk

I understand that outdoor participation carries risks, including slips, trips, falls, uneven surfaces, weather, insects, water hazards, natural obstacles, shallow hand digging where expressly permitted, and the actions of other people.

I voluntarily accept the ordinary risks associated with participating in the activity.

6. Release and responsibility

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release and hold harmless SebaHub, the participating property owners and operators, and their directors, employees, contractors, volunteers and representatives from claims arising from my participation, including claims connected with personal injury, property loss or property damage.

This release is not intended to exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded.

I understand that I remain responsible for my own conduct, safety and belongings.

7. Reporting finds and clues

I will report any potential find through the official website form or another contact method published on the case website.

I will not publish photographs or identifying details from Tim's ID or other personal documents.

I understand that a reported find may need to be photographed, documented and verified before it is confirmed.

8. Clue coin

After completing registration, I may be asked to show my confirmation to receive a SebaHub clue coin.

The coin identifies me as a registered participant for clue access. It does not grant access to restricted areas and does not replace my responsibility to follow the rules.

9. Removal from the activity

I understand that SebaHub may remove or disqualify anyone who:

• Enters restricted areas
• Digs outside an expressly permitted area or exceeds a clue-specific limit
• Damages property
• Disturbs animals, guests or residents
• Creates a safety concern
• Ignores staff instructions
• Provides false registration information

10. Emergency acknowledgement

I understand that case contact methods are not an emergency service. In an emergency, I will call 911.

11. Electronic agreement

By checking the required box and submitting the form, I confirm that:

• I have read and understood this agreement
• I have had the opportunity to ask questions
• The name and contact information entered belong to me
• I agree to be bound by this acknowledgement, waiver, release and the official hunt rules

12. Report publication and minor privacy

A private report is reviewed by SebaHub before publication. If an operator approves and publishes it, the edited story, waypoint, submitted GPS coordinates, adult Hunter handle and individually selected metadata-free images may appear publicly on the case Updates page.

Reporter email addresses and phone numbers are never included in public report posts. A participant under 18 is attributed only as Young Hunter; the minor's name, display name and Hunter handle are not published.

Submitted images remain private unless an operator separately selects each processed image for publication. Original files and embedded metadata are not published.
