Woman And Machine Terms of Class Participation
Classes/Workshops
We are so excited to have you participate in our classes. We will always do our best to ensure that you, your car, and the rest of your belongings are safe during our classes. In order for you get the most out of our classes and remain out of harm’s way, we have laid out the terms of service for Woman And Machine Classes in this document.
The Agreement is legally binding. For that reason, it’s a good idea for you to read these Terms before you participate in a Woman And Machine Class. They will give you a sense of who we are, what we expect from you, and what you can expect from us. We’ve tried to write them in plain English and make them as straightforward as possible. However, sometimes the law requires us to say things using certain words or in a specific way, such as conspicuous all-cap text. The short version is this: We don’t take advantage of people, and we ask in return that you not take advantage of us. If you don’t agree to the Terms, you may not participate in Woman And Machine Classes.
Woman And Machine is an automotive educational company geared towards community development for female automotive enthusiasts.
Our mailing address is P.O. Box 31, Plympton, Massachusetts 02367 (“Woman And Machine”). When we accept you for class participation, you will be allowed to use Woman And Machine class material and classroom space (during class time) subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Terms”), your registration for participation in a class, and any other document incorporated by reference or later issued by us to clarify or supplement these Terms or your rights as a client of Woman And Machine (collectively with the Terms and Application, we’ll call these documents the “Agreement”).
I. Class PARTICIPATION
1. Registering for Classes: Woman And Machine classes take place at various locations and states. The class location will be specified on the Woman And Machine class page you are looking to attend located at www.womanandmachine.org (our “Webpage”). In order to participate in these classes, you will need to register for participation through our Store. Your registration becomes effective upon the submission of your registration request.
2. Woman And Machine Services: Participation in Woman And Machine includes a right to use our class space (during class time) and to attend events and other programs that we, in our sole discretion, choose to make available to class participators (the “Services”) with the following limitations. Each class has a clear outline of subject matter and scope and will be limited to that specific topic. Class and event times are limited to predetermined material only and activities outside of the designated curriculum are not permitted (such as working on your car aside from when instructed to do so). Any advice provided to students will be limited to the subject matter of the class in which it is given, and any questions students pose must be relevant to class subject material.
Because we’re always working to improve Woman And Machine, the availability and scope of the Services are subject to change from time to time.
3. Modifications to Terms and Conditions: We may make modifications, deletions, or additions to these Terms and, when we do, will provide you with notice of these changes by emailing them to the last email address provided by you in your class registration and/or by posting a notice on our web page. Changes will be effective immediately upon notice. If you do not agree to the changes, you may cancel your class registration at any time, but please note that there are no refunds for this type of cancellation.
4. Assignment: Your class registration and any assignment of it are subject to the terms posted on the event website where you purchased the ticket.
5. Termination: You may cancel your registration for a class at any time by giving 7 calendar days of cancellation notice to us by providing written notice to a member our staff or by sending an email to info@womanandmachine.org. We may terminate your registration, including your access to the Woman And Machine premises, at any time, for any or no reason, in our sole discretion.
6. Media Consent: We’re proud of our clients and like to brag about you and the great things you’re doing. We often take pictures and video recordings at classes and public gatherings inside the Woman And Machine class space and publish them on social media and other marketing channels. It’s not practical for us to identify every single client in every photo or video and obtain permission to use each client’s image. For that reason, through this Agreement, you are acknowledging that we may take pictures and video recordings of you for marketing and promotional purposes. You authorize us to photograph, film, tape, digitally record, or otherwise create audio and video recordings, still images and/or textual descriptions, testimonials, and statements of you taken in public spaces in the applicable location (the “Recordings”) without compensation or further permission. You authorize us to edit, modify, adapt and change the Recordings at our sole discretion, and to incorporate the Recordings into print publications, electronic publications, software, video games, movie or sound recordings, broadcasts, programs, or any other media (the “Publications”). You authorize us to use, reproduce, distribute, and license to others, the Recordings and Publications in any manner of media, and to use your name (including your legal name, alias, professional name, or nickname), likeness, voice, signature, biographic or other information in connection with these Recordings and Publications for worldwide commercial and non-commercial purposes. You relinquish all rights, title and interest you may have in any Recordings or Publications as modified or unmodified, and assign all rights, title and interest you may have in any Recordings and Publications to us.
II. Class FEES
1. Payments: You must pay your class fees when they are due. Fees for classes that have already happened and which you did or did not attend are nonrefundable. If you do not pay your class fee on time, or if we are unable to charge your fee to your card as authorized, we may charge you a late fee of 10% or the maximum lawful rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. If the class fee is past due by at least 30 days, we may terminate your registration immediately without notice. If we offer you additional Services for an additional fee, the fee for those Services is due prior to the date the benefits and services are provided unless you have made other written payment arrangements with us. You are responsible for updating your payment card information using the payment service that we designate.
2. Fee Increases: We may increase class fees for future classes without notice but we will never increase the fee for a class you have already registered.
III. COMMUNITY STANDARDS
1. Food and Drink: Food and drinks are generally not permitted during classes at events. Exceptions to this may be granted only by Woman And Machine staff.
2. Damage: You may not damage or alter the Woman And Machine premises or the venue at which Woman And Machine classes are held, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and you will not bring any hazardous materials or illegal substances onto Woman And Machine premises or on any premises where our classes are taking place. You agree to repair any damage to Woman And Machine caused by you or parties related to you.
Students shall notify Woman And Machine Staff immediately of any damage or injury in, to, or near the class space of which they have knowledge, regardless of the cause of such damage or injury.

You acknowledge that we have set our fees and entered into the Agreement in reliance on the limitations of remedies and liability stated in this Agreement, and that these limitations reflect an agreed allocation of risk between you and us. The limitations stated in this Section shall apply to any liability arising from any cause of action whatsoever, whether in contract, tort, commercial code, strict liability or otherwise, even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. If these limitations as written are not permitted by applicable law, they shall apply to the extent permitted by applicable law.

You agree that we may control the defense of the claim at our option, or we may require you to defend the claim directly. If we elect to control the defense of the claim, you will reimburse us for our reasonable defense costs and expenses as incurred. You also agree to release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue us from any and all legal claims whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may be sustained by you, or to any property belonging to you, whether caused by the negligence of the us, or otherwise, while on the Woman And Machine premises.

Rights and remedies may only be waived by signing a written document that expressly identifies the right or remedy waived.
