Hack Genealogy Boot Camp – Terms and Conditions

Hack Genealogy Boot Camp events and webinars (“Boot Camp”) are produced by Hack Genealogy. Please read the following Terms and Conditions carefully BEFORE you make payment and register for any Hack Genealogy Boot Camp event. By registering for a Hack Genealogy Boot Camp event (“Boot Camp”), a registrant (“Registrant”) agrees to the following terms and conditions:

Registration and Payment

• Registrant will be asked to first pay the Boot Camp registration fee via PayPal prior to registering for each webinar taking place as part of a specific Boot Camp event.

• Registrant does not need a PayPal account to make payment; Registrant can use a valid credit card or, if Registrant has an active PayPal account, other forms of payment.

• Refunds will be allowed up until forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Boot Camp event start time.

Webinar Platform

Boot Camp will use the GoToWebinar platform from Citrix. GoToWebinar is a commonly used webinar platform within the genealogy and family history community. To learn more, visit http://www.gotomeeting.com/online/webinar/webinar-support.

Webinar Log-In Information

Webinar log-in information will be sent to each Registrant’s provided e-mail address prior to the start of each confirmed webinar: one (1) day before the webinar and one (1) hour before the webinar. This will also serve as the notice of webinar confirmation. A password will be required to access each webinar.

Webinar log-in information is not to be shared. Attendance will be confirmed periodically during the webinar and matched up to the list of Registrants. Any participant not identified as having paid and registered will be blocked from the webinar and barred from future Boot Camp events.

Handouts

Exclusive of any free handouts (“freebies”)  provided at the discretion of a Presenter, each Registrant will receive a download link to access a handout as a PDF file consisting of at least four (4) pages. The handout link will be made available within a twenty four (24) hour period before the first webinar and will be posted in the webinar information panel during each webinar.

Webinar Broadcasting and Recording

Registrants are prohibited from creating their own recording of any webinar or portion of Boot Camp. In addition, Registrants are prohibited from staging a “broadcast event” where the webinar is broadcast to a live audience such as at a genealogy society meeting. Organizations wishing to broadcast a Hack Genealogy Boot Camp event, should contact hidefgen@gmail.com to discuss discount rates for broadcast.

Time Zone

It is the responsibility of Registrant to know the start time of each webinar offered during Boot Camp. Each webinar will start promptly at the advertised time and each presentation will last sixty (60) minutes with a question & answer period of up to thirty (30) minutes.

Connection and Technical Difficulties

Hack Genealogy is not responsible for any connection difficulties on the part of Registrant. Visit http://support.citrixonline.com/en_us/gotomeeting/help_files/gtm140010 to test a computer connection.
