Terms of Consent/Release:
I agree to the following conditions on my participation: 

I am over the age of 18. 

I understand that Zoom may give me a choice to share with other attendees an audio/video feed from my device’s camera and microphones and that it may be captured on any recordings made of the program (“recordings”). 

I agree that I am responsible for my voluntary choice to share an audio/video feed and to participate in the chat feature, and any consequences of that sharing. I will conceal from view any private, sensitive, or confidential materials, and avoid sharing any information I would not want made public. Similarly, I only will share information, media, or other content, that is mine to share during the program and for the Smithsonian to use as described in this agreement without the need for further permission from third parties (for example, I will not share someone else’s copyrighted material or personal information). 

The Smithsonian has the right to copy, modify, publicly share, and otherwise use the recordings, in whole or in part, in all forms of media now known or later developed related to the project and in connection with other standard museum uses, without compensation to me or the need for further approvals.

I understand that the Smithsonian may remove me from the program at any time if it determines that my use of the Q&A or chat function does not comply with the Rules of Conduct at https://www.si.edu/termsofuse (section 4). 

The Smithsonian is under no obligation to use any recordings, in whole or in part, if made. The recordings will be archived or disposed of according to applicable Smithsonian record retention and archiving policies and practices.
