Agree with you. Don't play a lawyer on TV either but our bass club checked into a related issue as to a hosted event & signed liability waivers vs. just carrying insurance. BLUF is that, in many cases contrary to belief, the little "hold harmless" thingy you have someone sign doesn't write away your liability. Their little kid fall down/go boom the hosting entity is still on the hook - the current litigious societal rule I call "you want me to pay you because I can't fix your stupidity." The company's premise is bs.

It was good that Richard posted this for awareness of such language. Frankly, if her money was refunded w/cancelled transaction, I think she just should've taken her money & moved on. Took awhile but PayPal did what it does. I think the company is on quicksand but having the author of the review deal with the credit rating people is torture that can exceed some bogus $3.5K, which they're not in a legal position to impose. I smell Nigerian money orders.
