Github Terms Github Event Terms (GitHub)
Open Legal LibraryUpdated 18 Oct 2025
The GitHub Event Terms set the rules for attending GitHub-organised events, covering participant conduct, photography and video use, information sharing with sponsors, liability waivers, and termination rights. They are an official GitHub policy, governed by California law, and provide authoritative standards to ensure safe, respectful, and legally compliant participation in GitHub events.
[company name] Event Terms
By RSVP'ing to or attending a [company name] event, including any of the events or activities organized by [company name] in association with the [company name] event (collectively the "Event"), you represent that you have read, understand, and agree to the following [company name] Event Terms (hereinafter “Event Terms”).
Basic requirements to attend - including the Event Code of Conduct
In order to participate in the Event, you represent that
You have the requisite capacity and authority to enter into these Event Terms;
You have read and understood these Event Terms and the AUTOTITLE;
You agree to abide by the Event Code of Conduct; and
If alcohol is being served at the Event, you are at least 21 years old or over the legal drinking age at the location where the Event is being held.
If asked to stop behavior deemed harassing or prohibited, you must comply immediately. If you violate the Event Code of Conduct or these Event Terms, the Event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate in their discretion, including warnings or expulsion from the Event with no refund. You must at all times obey the instructions or directions of the Event organizers.
Pictures and videos
[company name] and its partners, agents, or contractors sometimes take photos and videos at the Event. By participating or attending the Event, you agree that you may appear in some of these photos and videos, and you authorize [company name]'s use of them during and after the Event.
Additionally, if you take any photos or videos at the Event and provide them to [company name], you authorize us to use them in the same fashion, and represent that the individuals that appear in your photos and videos have consented to such use.
Information sharing
Event sponsors, exhibitors, and other third parties may directly request your personal or other information at their exhibit booths, auxiliary events, or presentations. Providing any information to them is voluntary and optional, and you should review their privacy policies to determine how they will treat your personal information and whether you are comfortable with that treatment.
If during the event you provide your information to a sponsor, exhibitor, or third party, including but not limited to (1) RSVPing or attending a session or program hosted by a third party other than [company name], (2) presenting your badge for scanning at an exhibitor booth or breakout session, (3) requesting that a sponsor contact you via their virtual page on [page url], or (4) entering a raffle, sweepstakes, or promotional event put on by third party other than [company name], you understand and agree that your information will go to a non-[company name] entity and [company name] takes no responsibility for how that company uses or processes your personal information. You should review their privacy policies to determine how they will treat your personal information and whether you are comfortable with that treatment.

About this template
What is this template?
This is a set of terms and conditions for event attendance rather than a negotiated service contract. It contains specific media release authorizations and explicit assumptions of physical risk by the attendee.
When should you use it?
Use this when organizing a conference or meetup where you need a blanket liability waiver and a code of conduct; use a commercial service agreement instead if you are hiring a venue.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |

| 2 | Pictures and videos | Authorizes the company to use photos and videos featuring the attendee taken during or after the Event. |
| 3 | Information sharing | States that the company takes no responsibility for personal data voluntarily provided to third-party sponsors or exhibitors. |
| 4 | Assumption of risk | Obliges the attendee to assume full responsibility for any injuries or accidents sustained during the Event. |
| 4 | Release of liability | Waives the attendee's right to sue the company for damages unless the company is grossly negligent. |
| 5 | Termination | Permits the company to revoke attendance permission for any reason without notice or liability. |

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.
Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
