Active Participation, Health & Safety
Some IAC MAGEN programs, events, trainings, or activities may include active, physical, outdoor, or water-related participation, and may take place at IAC facilities, partner venues, public spaces, private residences, or other third-party locations.
Participation is voluntary. Participants are responsible for determining whether they are physically and medically able to participate safely and for following all safety instructions provided by IAC staff, instructors, facilitators, venue staff, lifeguards, security personnel, hosts, or authorized representatives.
Participants understand that participation may involve inherent risks, including but not limited to physical activity, accidental contact, falls, injury, weather-related risks, water-related risks, or other risks associated with the activity.
For minor participants, parents or legal guardians are responsible for determining whether the minor is able to participate safely and for providing any relevant health, allergy, medical, dietary, swimming ability, or accommodation information in advance.

Allergies, Medical Conditions & Special Accommodations
Participants are responsible for informing IAC in advance of any allergies, medical conditions, dietary restrictions, accessibility needs, or other special accommodations that may be relevant to their participation in an IAC MAGEN program, event, training, activity, or gathering.
While IAC will make reasonable efforts to support known needs when possible, participants acknowledge that IAC cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment, including with respect to food, beverages, venues, vendors, partners, or items provided by other participants.
For teen participants, parents or legal guardians are responsible for providing any relevant allergy, medical, dietary, accessibility, or accommodation information during registration or before participation.

Waiver and Release
By participating in IAC MAGEN activities, participants acknowledge that participation may include in-person or virtual trainings, discussions, group activities, community engagement opportunities, rallies, meetings, travel, and related communications.
Participants agree to release and hold harmless the Israeli-American Council (IAC), its staff, officers, board members, volunteers, partners, affiliates, and representatives from liability related to participation, except where prohibited by law.

Cancellation / Refund Policy
Unless otherwise stated on a specific registration form, event page, or program page, IAC MAGEN event and program registrations, ticket purchases, cancellations, and refund requests are subject to the applicable IAC cancellation and refund policy.
For paid IAC MAGEN training registrations, participants who notify IAC of their cancellation at least 48 hours before the scheduled start time will be eligible for a refund, unless different terms are stated on the registration form, event page, or program page.
Participants should review the linked IAC cancellation and refund policy and any event- or program-specific terms before registering or purchasing a ticket. IAC reserves the right to cancel, reschedule, relocate, or modify an event, program, training, session, or activity due to safety, security, weather, operational needs, low enrollment, speaker availability, venue requirements, or other circumstances.
If an event or program is canceled, rescheduled, or materially changed, IAC will communicate relevant updates and any applicable refund, credit, or transfer options in accordance with the applicable policy and registration terms.

Media Release
Participants understand that IAC may photograph, record, or capture photo, video, audio, screenshots, or other media during IAC MAGEN activities.
By attending or participating, participants consent to IAC using their image, likeness, voice, and/or recording (and their child’s, if applicable) in IAC materials, including website, email, print, social media, marketing, communications, educational, reporting, promotional, fundraising, and organizational purposes, without compensation, unless IAC is notified in writing otherwise.
Participants who have concerns about being photographed, recorded, or identified should notify IAC staff in advance or upon arrival. IAC will make reasonable efforts, within practical and technical limitations, to accommodate those concerns, including avoiding identifiable close-up images or obscuring identity where reasonably feasible. However, IAC cannot guarantee that a participant will not appear incidentally in group, crowd, or background images or recordings.

Communications Consent
Participants understand that they may receive updates, reminders, news, program information, and communications from the Israeli-American Council (IAC) related to IAC MAGEN and other IAC programs.
Participants may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.
