TERMS OF SERVICE

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Patron," "User," or "you") and Techno Ka House LLC ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), event organizer and producer of Drifted Fest (a house and techno music community and event organizer based in Dallas, Texas, known for hosting local curated parties, boat parties, and festivals like Drifted Fest), governing your access to and use of driftedfest.com, all associated digital interfaces, presale reservation portals, and your attendance at Drifted Fest 2026 at Strauss Square at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas, Texas.

By accessing this website, submitting personal details for presale access, or participating in the festival sweepstakes, you affirm that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms (or are registering with parental/guardian consent) and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

All-Ages Admission & Adult Supervision Policy

Drifted Fest enforces welcoming, family-conscious safety standards:

• All-Ages Event: Drifted Fest 2026 is an all-ages event. Children and minors must be accompanied by an adult parent or guardian under continuous adult supervision throughout the festival grounds.
• 21+ Alcohol Policy: You must be 21 years of age or older to purchase, possess, or consume alcoholic beverages inside Strauss Square or access VIP bar lounges. A verified 21+ wristband will be issued upon physical ID inspection.

Digital photos, photocopies, or temporary paper IDs are not accepted.

Priority Presale Registration & Ticketing Windows

Registration for the priority presale queue does not constitute a guaranteed ticket purchase:

• Queue Priority: Presale registration grants the applicant priority electronic notification and early access credentials before general public on-sale windows. Pass allocations in each tier (Early Bird GA, Priority GA, VIP Terrace, Backstage Table) are limited and sold strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Anti-Scalping & Bot Measures: Automated bot reservations, duplicate bulk submissions, and speculative resale listings are strictly prohibited. Drifted Fest reserves the right to cancel without notice any registrations generated via unauthorized automation.
