Agreement and Release of Liability

Nitartha Institute Online Courses, Programs and Events

Nitartha Institute (NI) is a non-profit religious institution established to facilitate the access of interested
individuals to the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism, especially as taught by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche.

In consideration of being allowed access to the NI teachings, I agree as follows:

Under no circumstances will Nitartha Institute be liable in any way for any loss or damage of any kind incurred
as a result of the use of, access to, or denial of access to the online courses. Nitartha may delete any content, or
remove you from a session in progress, at any time without notice to you, if Nitartha becomes aware that the
content you transmitted violates any provision of the Ethical Conduct Agreement, or any law.

I will not transmit any content or use any chat function except as permitted in connection with the class I am
taking.

I agree not to use Nitartha’s Online Courses, Programs and Events to communicate any message or
material that is harassing, libelous, threatening, obscene, indecent, would violate the intellectual property rights
of any party or is otherwise unlawful, that would give rise to civil liability, or that constitutes or encourages
conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, under any applicable law or regulation.

I understand that if my video is on, others may see me and I further agree that NI is not liable for any
embarrassment or cause of action I may have or others may have against me as a result of my being seen by
others on-line.

I understand that NI cannot control the actions and video screens of others online, and I agree that NI is not
liable for any upset or cause of action I may have as a result of what I may see on-line.

HAVING CONSIDERED THE ABOVE, AND AS MY SHARE IN SUPPORTING NI, I FREELY ACCEPT AND
VOLUNTARILY ASSUME THE RISKS OF INJURY AND RELEASE NI AND THEIR STAFF, EMPLOYEES AND
AGENTS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTING
FROM THE NEGLIGENT CONDITIONS OF THE OPERATIONS OF NI AND FROM THE ACTS OR
OMISSIONS OF NI STAFF OR FROM RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY SUCH DAMAGE OR INJURY OF ANY
KIND THAT MAY RESULT. I MAKE THIS AGREEMENT AND RELEASE FOR ANY PART OF THE NI
PROGRAM IN WHICH I MAY PARTICIPATE, AND I AGREE THAT MY RELEASE COVERS ANY CLAIM
THAT MY SUCCESSORS, HEIRS OR ASSIGNS MAY HAVE.
