Last Updated: August 5, 2026

1. Welcome

Welcome to Buhefest.com ("Website"), owned and operated by BUHE FEST LLC ("Buhe Fest," "we," "our," or "us").

Buhe Fest is an annual, family-friendly cultural festival that brings together individuals, families, businesses, nonprofit organizations, artists, performers, vendors, sponsors, and community partners to celebrate culture, music, food, education, and community.

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our Website, online store, membership services, event registrations, ticket purchases, vendor applications, sponsorship opportunities, and all related services.

By accessing or using the Website, purchasing products or tickets, registering for an event, or participating in Buhe Fest activities, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree, please do not use the Website or participate through it.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account, make purchases, submit applications, or enter into agreements through the Website.

Parents and legal guardians may register children or purchase tickets on behalf of minors and accept these Terms on their behalf.

3. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

Updated Terms become effective upon posting unless another effective date is stated.

Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

4. Website Use

You agree to use the Website only for lawful purposes.

You agree not to:

  • violate any applicable law;

  • interfere with the Website or its security;

  • attempt unauthorized access;

  • introduce malware or harmful code;

  • scrape, copy, or harvest data without permission;

  • impersonate another person;

  • interfere with other users;

  • use automated tools except lawful search indexing; or

  • misuse any registration or purchasing system.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms.

5. Accounts

Some Website features require an account.

You are responsible for:

  • maintaining accurate information;

  • safeguarding your password;

  • all activity occurring under your account; and

  • promptly notifying us of unauthorized access.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or threaten the security or operation of the Website.

6. Event Registration and Tickets

Registration or ticket purchase does not guarantee admission if safety, capacity, weather, venue restrictions, government orders, or other operational concerns require attendance limits or event modifications.

All attendees must comply with:

  • festival rules;

  • venue policies;

  • applicable laws; and

  • reasonable instructions from Buhe Fest staff, volunteers, venue personnel, or security.

We reserve the right to refuse admission or remove any person whose behavior is unsafe, disruptive, illegal, threatening, abusive, intoxicated, discriminatory, or otherwise inconsistent with the family-friendly nature of Buhe Fest.

Removal does not automatically entitle the attendee to a refund.

7. Event Schedule

Event schedules, performers, vendors, speakers, attractions, activities, food offerings, entertainment, and programming are subject to change without notice.

Buhe Fest does not guarantee the appearance of any particular performer, vendor, sponsor, organization, attraction, exhibit, or activity.

Buhe Fest reserves the right to postpone, relocate, modify, suspend, or cancel any event due to:

  • severe weather;

  • unsafe conditions;

  • public health concerns;

  • acts of government;

  • venue issues;

  • emergencies;

  • insufficient participation;

  • force majeure; or

  • other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Refunds, credits, transfers, or rescheduling, if offered, will be determined at Buhe Fest's sole discretion unless otherwise required by law.

9. Merchandise

Prices, inventory, colors, descriptions, and availability may change without notice.

We reserve the right to:

  • limit quantities;

  • cancel suspicious orders;

  • refuse transactions;

  • correct pricing errors; and

  • discontinue products.

Risk of loss passes upon delivery to the shipping carrier unless otherwise required by law.

10. Vendors, Sponsors, and Exhibitors

Vendor, sponsor, nonprofit, advertiser, and exhibitor participation is governed by these Terms together with any separate application, contract, or participation agreement.

Acceptance of an application does not create a continuing right to participate in future events.

Buhe Fest may reject, suspend, or revoke participation at its discretion for violations of policies, safety concerns, reputational concerns, or legal compliance.

Participants remain solely responsible for:

  • licenses;

  • permits;

  • taxes;

  • insurance;

  • inventory;

  • employees;

  • volunteers;

  • products;

  • food safety;

  • advertising claims; and

  • compliance with applicable laws.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you grant Buhe Fest a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, transferable license to use, reproduce, publish, display, edit, distribute, archive, and create derivative works from photographs, videos, audio recordings, or other media depicting you that are captured at Buhe Fest events for lawful purposes, including marketing, education, fundraising, historical archives, promotional materials, social media, websites, news coverage, documentaries, sponsorship reporting, and future event promotion, without additional compensation or notice.

This section does not transfer ownership of your independently created photographs or recordings.

No content may be copied, reproduced, modified, distributed, sold, or commercially exploited without prior written permission, except as permitted by law.

14. Children's Attendance

Buhe Fest welcomes families.

Parents and guardians remain solely responsible for supervising minors attending the festival.

  • uneven terrain;

  • crowds;

  • food allergies;

  • animals;

  • outdoor conditions;

  • noise;

16. Assumption of Risk and Release

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you voluntarily assume all ordinary risks associated with attending Buhe Fest and participating in festival activities.

Except where prohibited by law or resulting from our gross negligence or willful misconduct, BUHE FEST LLC and its owners, officers, directors, employees, volunteers, contractors, sponsors, vendors, venues, and partners are not liable for personal injury, illness, death, property damage, theft, or other losses arising from attendance or participation.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be waived.

Unless otherwise stated:

  • purchases are final;

  • refunds are issued only when required by law or expressly offered by Buhe Fest;

  • promotional pricing may be limited;

  • discounts cannot be combined unless stated; and

Access third-party websites at your own discretion.

19. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Website, services, and festival information are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Buhe Fest disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.

We do not guarantee that the Website will always be secure, error-free, uninterrupted, or free from viruses.

20. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BUHE FEST LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or special damages arising from or relating to the Website, events, purchases, or participation, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Where liability cannot legally be excluded, our aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid directly to Buhe Fest for the applicable transaction giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

 

21. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BUHE FEST LLC and its affiliates, officers, employees, volunteers, contractors, sponsors, venues, and partners from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from your use of the Website, violation of these Terms, infringement of another's rights, or negligent or wrongful conduct.

Buhe Fest is not responsible for delays, interruptions, or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, fire, flood, public health emergencies, war, terrorism, labor disputes, utility failures, transportation disruptions, governmental actions, internet outages, cyber incidents, or other force majeure events.

23. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

24. Dispute Resolution

Before initiating legal proceedings, the parties agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve disputes informally by contacting one another in writing.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maryland, and each party consents to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking temporary injunctive or equitable relief where appropriate.

25. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

26. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Accessibility Statement, ticket policies, vendor agreements, sponsorship agreements, and any additional terms presented for specific services, constitute the entire agreement between you and Buhe Fest regarding your use of the Website and related services.
