If I should divulge to any news/media/broadcast organization or to any reporter or media representative of such organization anything I see, hear, hear about, participate in, or photograph while attending this event as a member of Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC, whether or not the actual personal privacy of any member is actually violated, I hereby recognize and agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages that Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC. might incur for such membership violations and disclosures of its private organization.
