PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT INCLUDES VARIOUS LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY AND INCORPORATES ARBITRATION TERMS, ALL OF WHICH WILL AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS.

1. PROGRAM OVERVIEW.
1.1. Description. The Program is designed to empower girls, celebrate them as leaders, and inspire them to lead boldly. It also facilitates the distribution of LIG’s lesson plans, teaching tools, course materials, instructional guides, and related content and materials (collectively, the “Curriculum”) directly to those who participate. The Curriculum may be updated, revised, or modified, at any time, by LIG with or without notice to you.
1.2. Guardian Responsibility. You must be of a legal age to form a binding contract to register for the Program (in many jurisdictions, this age is 18). If you are not yet of a legal age to form a binding contract, then you must get your parent or legal guardian to read and agree to this Agreement before participating in the Program. If you are a parent or legal guardian, by clicking “I Agree” below, or by participating in the Program, you agree to be legally bound by this Agreement and you provide your consent for Your Minor to participate in the Program. You further agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and Your Minor, as prompted in the registration process or otherwise during the Program.
