Events and Acceptance of Terms

As used below, the term “Tech Square Ventures Event” means an event, gathering, promotion, contest, meet-up or the like that is organized or hosted by Tech Square Ventures. A “Non-Tech Square Ventures Event” means an event, gathering, promotion, contest, meet-up or the like that is organized or hosted by someone other than Tech Square Ventures, but that may appear or be listed on the Site. In order to participate or attend a Tech Square Ventures Event you must agree to the terms set forth in these Terms. If you find that you cannot or will not agree to such terms, please do not respond to or attend any Tech Square Ventures Event. If you register for any Tech Square Ventures Event or Non-Tech Square Ventures Event through the Site, you agree that you have read, understand and agree to these event terms.

Assumption of risk/release of liability/indemnity:

Although we try to create a safe environment at Tech Square Ventures Events, accidents happen. We ask that you do your part to help limit the possibility that you might get injured at a Tech Square Ventures Event. You agree to carefully consider the inherent risks in any activities that you choose to take part in and to take reasonable precautions before you choose to attend or participate at an Tech Square Ventures Event. For example, you should ensure that you are in good physical health before engaging in any physical activity at an Tech Square Ventures Event, and you should always drink responsibly given the risks associated with drunk driving and participating in activities while your judgment is impaired. Second, please note that some of the other Tech Square Ventures Event guests may be less responsible than you, and may themselves create additional risks to you despite their best intentions. In summary, you understand that your attendance and participation at Tech Square Ventures Events is voluntary, and you agree to assume responsibility for any resulting injuries to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. By the same token, you agree that Tech Square Ventures is not responsible for any injuries you might sustain at Non-Tech Square Ventures Events listed on the Site.

You (for yourself, your heirs, personal representatives, or assigns, and anyone else who might make a claim on your behalf) hereby release, waive, discharge and convent not sue Tech Square Ventures Ventures and its respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, members, agents, employees, vendors, sponsors and volunteers from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses or expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may arise out of, result from, or related in any way to your attendance at any Tech Square Ventures Event or Non-Tech Square Ventures Event, except for any gross negligence or willful misconduct on our part.

You further agree to indemnify and hold Tech Square Ventures, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives harmless, including costs, liabilities and legal fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to, related to, or connected with your attendance or conduct at any Tech Square Ventures Event or Non-Tech Square Ventures Event.

Photos

Tech Square Ventures and its sponsors and vendors sometimes take photos and videos at Tech Square Ventures Events, and later use them for promotional purposes. By participating or attending any Tech Square Ventures Event, you agree that you may appear in some of these photos and videos, and you authorize their use in this fashion. In addition, if you take any photos or videos of attendees at a Tech Square Ventures Event and provide them to us, you authorize us to use them in the same fashion and represent that the attendees that appear in your photos and videos have consented to such use. We do not control Non-Tech Square Ventures Events or the people that organize them. It is possible that organizers or attendees of Non-Tech Square Ventures Events will take photos or shoot videos in which you appear and then post them online (including, possibly, on the Site). By RSVP’ing to a Non-Tech Square Ventures Event through the Site, you authorize Tech Square Ventures’ use of such media for promotional purposes.

Termination

While we hope not to, we may prohibit your attendance at any Tech Square Ventures Event at any time if you fail to abide by the Terms, including this Section 7, or for any or no reason, without notice or liability of any kind. We reserve the right to cancel any Tech Square Ventures Event at any time, for any reason, and without liability or prejudice.

Unofficial Events

From time to time, members of the Tech Square Ventures community organize their own meet-ups and events. Although Tech Square Ventures representatives sometimes join in the fun, such events are Non-Tech Square Ventures Events and are not sponsored or endorsed by Tech Square Ventures, even when promoted on the Site. All terms and conditions related to Non-Tech Square Ventures Events apply equally to such events. If you organize such an event, you agree not to create the impression that it is sponsored or endorsed by Tech Square Ventures. You agree that you will not represent yourself as an employee, representative, or agent of Tech Square Ventures (unless, of course, you are actually employed by Tech Square Ventures, in which case these Terms will govern your participation in any Tech Square Ventures Event to the extent such Terms are not inconsistent with Tech Square Ventures’s standard employment agreements or policies).

Dispute Resolution

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Fulton, Georgia. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (i) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (ii) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Any such action could prevent you from accessing your account, the Site, Your Content, Site Content, or any other related information.

Electronic Communications, Transactions, And Signatures

Visiting the Site, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Site, satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED BY US OR VIA THE SITE. You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means.

General Terms

We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue the Site at our sole discretion, at any time, for any or no reason, and without notice or liability.
We may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms by email, regular mail or communications through the Site.
Nothing herein is intended, nor will be deemed, to confer rights or remedies upon any third party.
The Terms contain the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site, and supersede any prior agreement between you and us on such subject matter. The parties acknowledge that no reliance is placed on any representation made but not expressly contained in these Terms.
Any failure on Tech Square Ventures’ part to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
If any provision of the Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, then only that provision shall be modified to reflect the parties’ intention or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
The Terms, and any rights or obligations hereunder, are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with ‘Tech Square Ventures’ prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any attempted assignment by you shall violate these Terms and be void.
You agree that these Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Terms.
The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
