We intend no harm, interference or disruption to the Club or to the lives of any who adhere to its precepts. 
 
In consideration of being permitted to attend an event sponsored by Club Eden, we agree as follows:

The measure of damages for purposes of indemnification shall be the same as in an action sounding in tort for invasion of privacy, plus any lost wages resulting from loss of employment due to a violation of this agreement. The Members are entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, both for the enforcement of this agreement and for the prosecution or defence by the Members of any other legal action initiated as a consequence of our breaching this agreement.
