PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT & CONSENT
Dear Black Women Costa Rica Retreat
October 10–15, 2026
Version date: September 10, 2026
This Amendment is among Dear Black Women LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“Michigan Company”); Dear Black Women LLC, a New York limited liability company (“New York Company”); and the participant identified below (“Participant”). The Companies are separate legal entities.
1. Original Agreement
Participant previously accepted the three-page PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT & WAIVER for the October 10–15, 2026 Retreat, either by signing and returning a copy or by affirmatively accepting it during checkout (“Original Agreement”).
The Original Agreement names “Dear Black Women” without identifying a state or LLC. The Michigan Company confirms that it operated the booking arrangement when Participant accepted that agreement.
The unchanged Original Agreement is incorporated by reference and available for review and download here.
2. Consent to Transition
Participant consents to the Michigan Company assigning its rights and delegating its remaining obligations under Participant’s Retreat booking to the New York Company. The New York Company accepts those obligations and becomes responsible for delivering Participant’s contracted Retreat experience when this Amendment takes effect.
All payments already properly made and credited toward Participant’s reservation will remain credited in full. The transition does not change Participant’s agreed price, payment schedule, accommodations, included services, cancellation terms, documented booking modifications, or media opt-outs. No duplicate payment is required.
The New York Company may collect the remaining balance legitimately due, subject to Participant’s existing rights and credits. Any change in payment instructions will be communicated separately; this Amendment does not itself authorize new automatic charges.
The transition does not discharge the Michigan Company from existing obligations or liabilities. It does not represent that the Companies have merged or that the New York Company was the original booking entity.
3. Updated Release of Liability
The Original Agreement’s “Release of Liability” section is replaced with the following:
“To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I release and hold harmless Dear Black Women LLC, a Michigan limited liability company; Dear Black Women LLC, a New York limited liability company; Florence Noel; and the retreat facilitators, staff, partners, venue hosts, and affiliates involved in providing this Retreat (collectively, ‘Released Parties’) from claims arising out of or related to my participation in the Retreat, including personal injury, property damage, financial loss, and travel disruptions.
This release includes claims caused in whole or in part by the ordinary negligence of a Released Party. Ordinary negligence means a failure to exercise reasonable care.
This release excludes gross negligence, reckless conduct, willful misconduct, and liability that cannot lawfully be waived. It applies only to events occurring after this Amendment becomes effective and does not release claims arising from earlier events.
This release does not excuse the Companies from honoring my payment credits, delivering the contracted services, or providing any refund, transfer, or credit owed under the Original Agreement or applicable law.”
4. Effect and Acceptance
Except as expressly changed above, the Original Agreement remains unchanged. This Amendment controls conflicts concerning these changes and does not add a governing-law or forum-selection provision.
Under their separate assignment and assumption agreement, both Companies authorize and agree to this Amendment as offered to Participant. It becomes effective when Participant successfully submits the electronic acceptance below. No separate Company countersignature on this form is required.
Participant has access to both documents and an opportunity to review, download, and retain them and ask questions before signing. The parties consent to electronic signatures and delivery of records. Participant will receive a copy of the submission and this Amendment.
5. Acknowledgement & Electronic Signature
Participant acknowledges receiving access to this Amendment and the Original Agreement, with an opportunity to review, download, and retain both documents, ask questions, and seek independent advice before signing.
Participant understands that this Amendment identifies the Michigan Company as the entity that operated the original booking arrangement and the New York Company as the entity assuming responsibility for the Retreat going forward, and replaces the Original Agreement’s Release of Liability with a provision expressly addressing ordinary negligence.
The parties consent to electronic signatures and electronic delivery of completed copies. Participant’s typed full legal name, affirmative selection of the agreement checkbox below, and submission through the “Sign and Submit Amendment” button together constitute Participant’s intended electronic signature.
You will receive a copy of your submitted acknowledgment and the amendment for your records.
