  1. Revocable License:

  2. By entering the Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park Museum at Rowan University (the “Museum”) operated by Rowan Educational Attractions, Inc. (“REA”), adult ticket purchasers and users entering the Museum’s property (“Guests”) represent and certify that they have reviewed and accepted each of the terms and conditions of this revocable license (this “Revocable License”) for themselves, and on behalf of any minors accompanying them. Adult Guests represent that they are legally competent to agree to the terms of this Revocable License on behalf of themselves and all accompanying minors and will be responsible for the behavior and actions of all such minors while they are at the Museum. All minors must be accompanied by an adult Guest at all times and Guests may not touch any exhibit except those exhibits that expressly allow touching or interaction. By entering the Museum, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions on behalf of yourself and any minors you accompany. If you do not agree to these terms, return the ticket immediately for a refund and do not enter the Museum.

  3. Except as expressly stated herein, this ticket is a non-refundable, limited license for access to the Museum, which access may be revoked by REA without a refund at any time with or without cause. Tickets are person- and date-specific, non-transferable and subject to the Museum’s rules. Except as stated otherwise herein, no refund, exchange, or re-sale, is permitted once Guests have entered the Museum.

Guests taking part in the Museum’s playground or quarry dig site recognize that there are inherent risks of injury from falls and other accidents from visiting these sites or participating in these activities. Guests that participate in the Museum’s Critter Cove exhibit may interact with live animals and are at risk of injury, bites, allergic reactions and contact with zoonotic disease (disease between humans and animals). Adult Guests, on behalf of themselves and all minors they accompany, hereby release and hold the Museum, REA, Rowan University, and their respective officers, employees, representatives, agents, successors, and assigns harmless from any damages, claims, and liabilities arising out of, or from the use of, this ticket or their presence on the Museum property.

As partial consideration for the grant of the limited license by the Museum and by using this ticket, Guests, on behalf of themselves and all minors they accompany, irrevocably grant REA, and such third parties as the Museum may authorize, permission to use their image, likeness, name, voice, comments, or other proprietary or public rights, for promotional purposes, including in any media, without monetary compensation. Guests are welcome to take photographs and video for personal use, however, such photographs and video cannot be used for broadcast, publication, or any commercial purpose without the prior written permission of the Museum.

Aside from water in reusable, sealable bottles and baby formula, outside food and drink should not be brought into the Museum building or to the quarry dig site.

  7. REA may refuse admission to the Museum property, or eject, Guests and/or any minors they accompany if they are deemed, in the sole discretion of REA, disruptive or disorderly (including, but not limited to, being under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other substances); or fail to comply with the Museum’s Health, Safety, and Conduct Policy; or disregard instructions of Museum or REA personnel, or disregard the terms and conditions of this Revocable License or any security measures established by REA for the Museum.
