Terms and Conditions
1. Participation Waiver
Working with children comes with inherent risks. In consideration of participating with a Girl Talk Club, You hereby release and discharge (agreeing to make no claim and not sue to the maximum extent allowed by law) Girl Talk, its directors, employees, volunteers, or agents ("Related Parties") for any and all claims, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful acts or omissions of Girl Talk (or to the extent as required by applicable law), related to the Girl Talk Club Leader's relationship with Girl Talk. GIRL TALK DOES NOT EMPLOY OR HIRE THE LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO MANAGE AND ADVISE GIRL TALK CLUBS AND PARTICIPANTS, AND GIRL TALK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU, THE GIRL TALK CLUB LEADER, OR ANY THIRD PARTY BASED ON THEIR ACTS OR OMMISSIONS. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Girl Talk and the Related Parties for any loss, injury, or death caused by You or the Girl Talk Club Leader.
2. Marketing Consent
Unless you send an email to programs@mygirltalk.org or a subsequent identified email address advising that You do not provide such consent and receive a confirmation in reply, You consent to Girl Talk using the Girl Talk Club Leader's name, image, and likeness for its own marketing and donation solicitation purposes, including, but not limited to, on Girl Talk and its partner's websites, social media, and other media as Girl Talk uses for such communications from time to time. You agree that the Girl Talk Club Leader may be photographed or recorded in other media, such as video or audio recordings, in connection with Girl Talk activities or events. You hereby grant Girl Talk an irrevocable, royalty-free, perpetual license to use any and all photographic images and other media recordings taken during Girl Talk activities and events for Girl Talk marketing purposes.
3. Miscellaneous
If any portion of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable portion shall be construed in accordance with the applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The paragraph headings herein are provided only for reference and shall have no effect on the construction or interpretation of the Agreement. If Girl Talk fails to enforce strict performance of any provision of the Agreement, such failure will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of the Agreement. Neither the course of conduct between You and Girl Talk shall act to modify any provision of the Agreement.
The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, except regarding its conflicts of law rules. Any action relating to the Agreement, Content, or Trademarks must be brought in the federal or state courts located in Atlanta, Georgia and You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. Any cause of action you may have with respect to the Agreement, Content, or Trademarks must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose, or is barred. Additional written terms and conditions posted on the Girl Talk website or executed in writing with You, including but not limited to, a Privacy Policy, govern and, if conflicting, supersede any oral or other communication between the parties.
I certify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the Girl Talk Club Leader, or that I otherwise have the legal authority to represent the Girl Talk Club Leader and act on their behalf. I have read and understood this Agreement. I hereby consent to and ratify this Agreement and agree, on behalf of myself, Girl Talk Club Leader and each of our respective legal representatives, heirs and assigns, to be bound by its terms.
