==Membership Agreement Concerns==
Urban Air Adventure Park, a children-focused indoor sports entertainment company under Unleashed Brands, offers attractions such as ziplining, trampolines, and GoKarts<ref name="Attractions">[https://www.urbanair.com/pennsylvania-north-huntingdon/attractions/ Urban Air Attractions]</ref>
. Their membership model primarily targets '''families with young children''', often requiring '''12-month contractual commitments'''<ref name="UAContract">[[:File:UrbanAirContractPeriod001.png|Urban Air Contract]]</ref>


3.  The UrbanAir membership agreement requires you to sign away your rights to any pictures of you taken by UrbanAir at the UrbanAir facility forever, in perpetuity and it gets worse, see details below.

4. The UrbanAir membership agreement requires you to sign away your rights to any audio or video recordings of you taken by UrbanAir at the UrbanAir facility forever, in perpetuity.}}
However, concerns arise regarding '''privacy policies, billing practices, and the unrestricted use of children’s images and voices''' without additional consent or compensation. '''Given that minors cannot legally consent to these terms''', the ethical implications are severe.

=== Privacy Violations and Billing Concerns ===


==Products==
* '''Lack of Clear Billing Practices:''' The required '''12-month commitment'''<ref name="UAContract">[[:File:UrbanAirContractPeriod001.png|Urban Air Contract]]</ref>is not prominently disclosed during sign-up.<ref name="Memtypes">[https://store.unleashedbrands.com/urban-air/north-huntingdon-pa/purchase/membership Urban Air Membership Types]</ref>
{{Placeholder box|This is a list of the company's product lines '''with articles on this wiki'''.
* '''Unfair Membership Alterations:''' Adding an additional child resets the commitment period '''for all family members''', extending financial obligations.
* [[Example product line one]] (release date): Short summary of the product's incidents.
* '''Unrestricted Use of Children’s Images:''' Parents unknowingly '''grant Urban Air full rights to their child’s likeness''', allowing modification and repurposing without further approval.
* [[Example product line two]] (release date):}}
* '''Unrestricted Use of Children’s Voices:''' Urban Air’s agreement enables '''alteration of voice recordings''', meaning a child's voice could be used in commercial or political contexts '''without parental oversight'''
 
==Privacy and Policy Concerns==
Urban Air Adventure Park does not '''adequately disclose or provide safeguards for the following membership terms''', which overwhelmingly affect '''children as the primary subjects''':
 
# '''Mandatory 12-Month Memberships:''' Most memberships require '''a full year of payments''', with only '''extremely limited cancellation options'''.
# '''Automatic Membership Extensions:''' If parents add an additional child, '''all previous members are forced into a fresh 12-month contract''', increasing financial commitment unexpectedly.
# '''Total Loss of Image Rights:''' Parents sign away '''all rights to their child's photographs''', permitting '''modification, repurposing, and global distribution without compensation or review'''.  This agreement does not specifically exclude use of images in countries hostile the United States or in areas areas determined to be controlled by group designated federally as terrorists.
# '''Total Loss of Voice Rights:''' Any recorded voice '''can be altered, modified, and used for promotional purposes indefinitely'''—raising concerns about '''manipulated contexts'''.
 
== Membership Agreement - Use of Children's Photos ==
Urban Air’s membership agreement '''requires parents to consent to photo usage of their children''', but parents '''lose all control over how these images are modified, distributed, or repurposed worldwide, forever'''.
 
=== Serious Ethical Concerns: ===
 
* Photos may be used '''for advertising without compensation or parental approval'''.
* Images '''can be altered'''—including '''age modifications, added individuals, or politically charged content'''.
* '''No parental review or opt-out mechanism exists''', meaning '''parents cannot prevent misuse or misrepresentation'''.
* A child's likeness '''could be used for marketing unrelated to Urban Air''', including '''international advertising in countries with differing legal protections'''.
 
'''Excerpt from Urban Air’s Membership Agreement:'''<blockquote>
#'''Use of Personal Information, Image, Likeness, and/or Voice'''.  Urban Air will take, and you agree to the taking and Urban Air’s storage and use of, an image of each member under this Membership Agreement for purposes of member identification for the Urban Air membership program. Urban Air will retain such image in its computerized membership system. Urban Air also may photograph, record on audio or video, or otherwise record your presence or use of any Urban Air Adventure Park. In exchange for your use of any Urban Air Adventure Park, you understand, acknowledge, and '''agree that you may be photographed, recorded on audio or video, or otherwise recorded while at any Urban Air Adventure Park and hereby agree and consent for all purposes to the sale, reproduction, or use in any manner of any such photograph, audio, video, or other recording or depiction of your likeness and/or voice whatsoever by us, any Urban Air Adventure Park''', and any nominee or designee of us or them, including without limitation any agency, client, periodical or other publication, in all forms of media, whether now or hereafter devised, throughout the world and '''in perpetuity, and in all manners''', including '''without limitation''' advertising, trade, display, editorial, art, and exhibition. You further understand and agree that any such photograph, audio, video, or other recording or depiction of '''your likeness and/or voice may be modified, altered, cropped, and combined with other content such as images, video, audio, text, and graphics, and hereby waive any right that you may have to inspect or approve any finished image, video, or audio containing a depiction of your likeness or voice.''' You further agree that Urban Air and/or any Urban Air Adventure Park you may visit or owner thereof may use any information gathered in this form or through your use of any Urban Air Adventure Park, provided the information does not personally identify you or provide facts that could lead to your identification, for any purpose, including without limitation research, product and program improvements, and statistical purposes. You agree to hold harmless and indemnify Urban Air and any Urban Air Adventure Park you may visit or owner thereof from and against any and all liability, damage, loss, and/or claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, any and all claims and demands relating to libel, invasion of privacy, and violation of publicity rights.

== Membership Agreement - Use of Children's Voice Recording ==
Urban Air’s Membership Agreement<ref name="UMA">[https://www.urbanair.com/membership-agreement Urban Air Membership Agreement]</ref> also '''permits unrestricted audio recording of children''' inside the facility. Parents '''forfeit control over how their child’s voice may be modified, placed in different contexts, or reused indefinitely'''.
 
=== Ethical and Privacy Concerns: ===
 
* Children's voices may be '''repurposed in misleading promotional materials'''.
* Audio '''could be modified''' to imply '''political affiliations, sponsorships, or endorsements'''.
* Parents have '''no ability to review or retract consent''', meaning '''a child’s voice could be used long after they stop attending Urban Air'''.
 
== Membership Agreement - Billing and Cancelation Policy ==
Most Urban Air memberships require '''a minimum of 12 months of payments''' and '''cannot be canceled''' except in the following '''strictly defined scenarios'''<ref name="UAContract">[[:File:UrbanAirContractPeriod001.png|Urban Air Contract]]</ref>
 
:
 
* '''Death or permanent disability''' (requires medical documentation).
* '''Relocation beyond 25 miles''' from an Urban Air facility (requires proof).
 
'''Urban Air does not validate the identity of individuals signing up''', relying only on '''self-reported names and payment details''', raising concerns about '''potential enrollment errors or fraudulent sign-ups'''.
 
=== After the initial 12-month term, membership renewals can only be canceled with written notice. ===
 
== Membership Agreement - Contract Alterations and Adding Members ==
 
=== How Contract Extensions Can Trap Families in Unexpected Membership Lengths ===
Urban Air’s '''membership policy forces families into long-term commitments''' by extending obligations if '''new members (such as siblings) are added''' to an existing contract.
 
=== Example Scenario: ===
 
* Parent signs up '''child #1''' for a 12-month membership.
* 9 months later, '''child #2''' is added.
* Instead of child #2 simply continuing for the remaining 3 months or holding only child #2 to 12 months, '''the full membership term resets''', extending '''child #1’s obligation for another 12 months'''.
 
'''This structure forces families into prolonged memberships without clearly disclosed warnings.'''
