1. Introduction, Acceptance, and Scope

Welcome to I Choose I AM! (the website at https://ichooseiam.com and its related mobile applications for Android and iOS, together the “Platform”). Accessing the Platform, together with any material made available, uploaded, or downloaded through it, is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Services.” The Platform is owned and operated by I CHOOSE I AM! LLC [Calle Oneill G8 San Juan PUERTO RICO 00918 United States] (“We,” “Us,” or “Our”).

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a legal, binding contract between You (each individual adult user, Creator, or visitor, referred to as “You,” “Your,” or the “User”) and Us. By registering on, accessing, browsing, downloading from, uploading to, or otherwise using the Platform or the Services, You agree to be bound by these Terms. If You do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Platform or the Services.

Who enters into this contract. Only adults may register for the Platform or enter into these Terms. Minors cannot register, cannot hold or operate an account, and do not enter into these Terms. A parent or legal guardian who chooses to include a minor child in an Event does so through the parent’s or guardian’s own account and under the rules in Section 4 (Adult Registration, Minor Participation, and Parental Authorization).

Secure areas. Access to password-protected and secure areas of the Platform is limited to adult Account Holders. You may not obtain, or attempt to obtain, unauthorized access to those areas or to any other protected information through any means not intentionally made available to You. A breach of this paragraph may be an offense under applicable law.

Our mission. The Platform exists to foster global unity through music and personal development, to promote Our initiatives, to host World Record Breaking Events (“WRBEs”) and related activities, to raise funds for nonprofit organizations, and to support the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. By using the Platform You agree to use it in a manner consistent with that mission and these Terms.

Related documents. These Terms are supplemented by Our Privacy Policy, Our Children’s Privacy Notice, any Official Rules for a Cash Contest, any Event Specifications published for a particular Event, and any separate written agreement with a School Partner or Creator. Section 31 explains how these documents fit together. Capitalized terms are defined where first used or in Schedule I (Definitions and Interpretation).

2. About the Platform and How It Works

The Platform collaborates with schools, community groups, nonprofits, and other organizations to feature people, including children, singing and taking part in WRBEs. The participation workflow operates as follows:

(a) Adult accounts only. An adult (a parent, legal guardian, or other eligible adult) creates an account. Minors cannot register or independently operate an account.

(b) Parent opt-in. A parent or legal guardian may opt in to Family Participation Features, which allow the parent or guardian to include their own minor child in an Event.

(c) Parent-controlled recording and upload. The parent or guardian records and uploads videos of their child through the mobile application, using the parent-controlled account.

(d) Per-submission approval. Before each video that features a child is submitted, the parent or guardian gives separate, affirmative approval for that specific submission (Section 4.4).

(e) Routing to YouTube. Approved videos are submitted through the I Choose I Am channel to a YouTube private channel, or are published, in each case as stated in the applicable Event Specifications and disclosed at the time of approval (Sections 4.5 and 15).

(f) Audit trail. The mobile application records geolocation (where permitted on the device) and timestamps for submissions to assist with verification and audit trails (Section 16).

(g) Verification and recognition. We may verify submissions and issue digital trophies and certificates, as described in Section 17. We are not an official record-keeping authority.

What the Platform is not. The Platform is not a social network for children. Children have no accounts, profiles, messaging, or comment functions on the Platform, and We do not communicate directly with children or solicit personal information directly from them. We are not the custodian or supervisor of any child who participates, and We do not take responsibility for a child’s care, which remains with the child’s parent, guardian, or (where applicable) the School Partner.

3. Eligibility

3.1 Legal Competence and Minimum Age

To use the Services, You must be legally competent to enter into binding, legal contracts such as these Terms. In addition, You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the age of majority in the place where You live, if higher). Individuals who do not meet this requirement are not eligible to register for, or to hold, a Platform account.

3.2 Accuracy of Registration Information; Date of Birth

You represent and warrant that all information You provide, including Your date of birth, is accurate and complete. Providing a false date of birth is a breach of these Terms. Where Our age screen indicates that a person is under eighteen (18), registration will be blocked. We may take reasonable steps to prevent repeated attempts to bypass the age screen (see Section 4.1).

3.3 Schools and Institutions

If You are purchasing or arranging Services on behalf of Your school or educational institution, You agree, on behalf of that school or institution, that it is bound by these Terms, unless You or the school or institution has a separate written service agreement with Us that expressly governs the Services. Additional rules for School Partners appear in Section 5.

3.4 Compliance with Laws

You represent and warrant that You are in compliance with all applicable laws when You access and use the Platform. You agree to use the Platform only in compliance with these Terms and applicable law, and in a manner that does not violate Our legal rights or those of any third party. Your participation in any activity related to the Platform, including any WRBE, must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

3.5 Verification, Refusal, and Termination

We apply an age screen at registration, but You remain responsible for confirming that You meet the eligibility requirements. We may, at any time, ask You to verify Your age, identity, or authority as a parent or legal guardian, and We may refuse registration, suspend access, or terminate an account where Your eligibility cannot be confirmed, where information You have provided is inaccurate, or where We learn that an account is being held or operated by a person under eighteen (18). Where an account is found to have been created or operated by a minor, We will terminate the account and delete associated personal information as required by law.

3.6 Previously Removed Users and Sanctions

You may not register if We previously terminated Your account for a serious violation (unless We have agreed in writing), or if You are barred from receiving the Services under applicable law, including economic sanctions and export control laws.

3.7 Lawful Reviews and Criticism

Nothing in these Terms prevents You from posting honest reviews or lawful criticism about the Platform, or from communicating with a regulator or law enforcement agency. Our expectation that You not harm Our reputation or operations refers to unlawful conduct (for example, fraud, infringement, interference with the Platform, or defamation), not to truthful opinion.

4. Adult Registration, Minor Participation, and Parental Authorization

This Section 4 sets the rules for adult registration and for the participation of minors. It applies to every Event, Cash Contest, School Partner activity, and Creator activity on the Platform.

4.1 Adult Accounts Only

(a) Only individuals who are eighteen (18) years of age or older (or the age of majority where they live, if higher) may register for, create, log in to, or operate a Platform account. No minor accounts are permitted. A minor may not register, upload content, communicate with Us through the Platform, or independently use the Services.

(b) At registration, Our age screen asks for a date of birth in a neutral manner. If the date of birth entered indicates that the person is under eighteen (18), registration is blocked. Providing a false date of birth blocks registration and is a breach of these Terms. We may take reasonable steps (such as a temporary block on the same device) to deter repeated attempts to enter a different date of birth.

(d) If We learn that an account has been created by or is being operated by a minor, We will suspend it, terminate it, and delete associated personal information as required by law. A parent or legal guardian who believes a minor has registered may contact support@ichooseiamgroup.com.

4.2 Child Participation Through a Parent-Controlled Account

(a) A minor child (“Child”) may appear in a Submission only if the Account Holder is the Child’s parent or legal guardian with legal authority to act for the Child, and the Account Holder records, reviews, and uploads the Submission through the Account Holder’s own account.

(b) Children do not have accounts, usernames, public profiles, messaging, or comment functions on the Platform. We do not communicate directly with Children and do not solicit personal information directly from them.

(c) A Child’s participation is voluntary. The Account Holder must supervise the recording, must ensure that the Child is willing to take part, and must stop recording or withdraw the Submission if the Child wishes to stop. Participation by a Child is never a condition of an adult’s use of the Platform.

(d) A Submission may feature only the Account Holder’s own Child or Children. Where a Submission includes any other child, the Account Holder must first obtain the Authorization of that child’s parent or legal guardian in the manner We specify (including by that parent or guardian approving the Submission through their own account). Account Holders must take reasonable care not to capture other children incidentally.

(e) The Account Holder must not include in a Submission, in captions or descriptions, or in the audio of a video, a Child’s full name, home address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, school or class identifiers, precise location, or other directly identifying information, except as the Platform expressly requests and the parent expressly approves. Where a name is displayed, it will be a first name or initials only, and only if the parent has opted in.

4.3 Family Participation Authorization

(a) A parent or legal guardian may opt in to Family Participation Features in the account settings. By doing so, the Account Holder represents and warrants that:

(i) they are the parent or legal guardian of each Child they add, with legal authority to give the permissions described in these Terms (including, where applicable, under any custody order or shared-custody arrangement, and where legally required, with the agreement of any other person who holds parental authority);

(ii) the information they provide about each Child is accurate and limited to what the Platform requests (for example, a first name or nickname and an age or year of birth, used only for eligibility and consent records); and

(iii) they have read the Children’s Privacy Notice and consent, on behalf of each Child, to the collection and use of the Child’s personal information as described there.

(b) This opt-in is not approval of any particular Submission. It permits the Account Holder to use Family Participation Features and does not authorize the upload, publication, or use of any specific video (see Section 4.4).

(c) To confirm that the person giving consent is the Child’s parent or legal guardian, We use one or more methods reasonably calculated to do so under applicable law (for example, a payment-card verification, a signed consent form, a video-conference check, a knowledge-based check, or government-issued ID verification). We may ask for additional verification at any time.

(d) The Account Holder may withdraw this authorization for any Child at any time under Section 4.8.

4.4 Separate Approval for Every Submission

(a) Before any Submission that contains Child Content can be uploaded, the Platform will display an approval screen that identifies the Child (by profile), the Event, where the Submission will be sent or displayed (for example, a private YouTube channel or a public channel), and the uses described in Section 4.5.

(b) The Account Holder must affirmatively approve each Submission (by an unchecked box and a confirmation action). There are no pre-checked boxes, no standing or blanket approvals, and no approval by silence or inaction.

(c) Approval applies to one Submission only. A new approval is required if a Submission is edited, re-recorded, resubmitted, re-used for a different Event, or proposed for any use that was not disclosed at the time of approval.

(d) By approving, the Account Holder confirms that they have watched the entire Submission; that it contains no Prohibited Content and no identifying information described in Section 4.2(e); that the Child is willing to take part; and that the Account Holder is authorized to give the approval.

(e) We will not accept or process a Submission containing Child Content without a valid approval. If one is received in error, We will remove it promptly once identified or reported.

4.5 Public Content and Additional Uses

(a) Visibility. The Event Specifications and the approval screen state whether a Submission will remain private (accessible only to Our authorized personnel and service providers for verification, judging, compilation, and audit) or will be published (publicly viewable, for example on YouTube). Unless the approval screen discloses that publication will occur, a Submission containing Child Content is treated as private.

(b) Core Event Use. The uses that are necessary to run the Event are: receiving, storing, and hosting the Submission on the Event Channel; verification, judging, and audit; inclusion in the Event’s record-attempt compilation or count; issuing digital trophies and certificates; and safety, moderation, and legal compliance. The approval screen will describe the Core Event Use for the Event.

(c) Public content carries risk. If a Submission is published, anyone may be able to view, copy, download, share, or capture it, and We cannot control copies made by third parties. Removing content from channels We control does not remove copies that others have made.

(d) Additional Uses require separate opt-in. Any use beyond Core Event Use (for example, marketing and promotion, educational modules or books, compilations unrelated to the Event, media or broadcast coverage, or sharing with a Creator or sponsor) requires a separate, specific, optional approval presented at the time of approval, unchecked by default, that describes the use. Declining an Additional Use does not affect the Child’s participation or the Account Holder’s eligibility.

(e) Restricted uses. Without separate, express written consent from the parent or guardian, We will not use Child Content in paid advertising, in sponsor or brand endorsements, or on merchandise; will not sell or license Child Content to third parties for their own commercial use; and will not publicly display a Child’s full name.

4.6 Consent Records and Security

(a) For each approval We create and keep a “Consent Record” that includes: the Account Holder and Child profile identifiers; the Submission and Event; the version of the Terms and consent text displayed; the options selected (including any Additional Uses); the date and time; and, to the extent disclosed in Section 16 and Our Privacy Policy, device and location metadata that supports the audit trail. Consent Records are retained for as long as needed to demonstrate compliance and to meet legal obligations, and are then deleted or de-identified.

(b) Child Content and Consent Records are protected with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that We consider reasonable for the sensitivity of the data, including encryption in transit and at rest where feasible, role-based access limited to personnel and service providers with a need to know, access logging, and confidentiality obligations. No system is completely secure, and We will notify affected Account Holders and authorities of a security incident as the law requires.

(c) We do not use Child Content or a Child’s personal information for behavioral or targeted advertising, and We do not sell or share it for such purposes.

(d) The Account Holder must keep account credentials secure, enable available security features, and notify Us immediately at support@ichooseiamgroup.com of any suspected unauthorized access. An Account Holder may request a copy of the Consent Records for their account.

4.7 Children’s Privacy and COPPA

(a) The Platform is directed to adults and parents and not to children. We collect personal information about a Child (such as a video or voice recording, image, first name, age, and associated metadata) only from the Child’s parent or guardian and only with verifiable parental consent, consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) principles (15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506 and 16 C.F.R. Part 312) and other applicable law.

(b) We use a Child’s personal information only for the purposes described in Section 4.5(b), in the Children’s Privacy Notice, and in the Privacy Policy. We collect no more information than is reasonably necessary for the Child’s participation.

(c) We disclose a Child’s personal information only to service providers that support the Services under written obligations to protect it (including YouTube and Google for hosting, as described in Section 15) and as required by law. We will obtain separate parental consent before disclosing a Child’s personal information to any other third party, except where the law permits otherwise.

(d) A parent or guardian may at any time review the personal information We hold about their Child, ask Us to delete it, refuse further collection or use, and withdraw consent, by emailing support@ichooseiamgroup.com or using the in-app controls. We will respond promptly and within any period set by applicable law.

(e) We retain a Child’s personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and then delete it, as described in Section 22 and the Privacy Policy.

(f) Where the law of another country sets a different age of digital consent or requires additional protections for children, We apply the stricter requirement (see Section 29).

4.8 Withdrawal, Review, and Removal

(a) Withdrawal without closing the account. A parent or guardian may withdraw authorization for a Child, or for any individual Submission, at any time, through the in-app controls or by emailing support@ichooseiamgroup.com. Withdrawal does not require deleting the whole account.

(b) What happens after withdrawal. We will stop collecting further information about the Child; stop using the Submission; remove it from public display on channels We control and disable access to it promptly and in any event within [seven (7)] days; and delete it from active systems within [thirty (30)] days and from backups within [ninety (90)] days. We may retain (i) the Consent Record and a record of the withdrawal, (ii) minimal non-identifying audit data, such as participant counts and timestamps, and (iii) data that We are legally required to preserve (for example, under a legal hold or a mandatory report).

(c) Review. A parent or guardian may ask to review a Child’s Submissions, the personal information held about the Child, and the related Consent Records. We will provide them after confirming the requester’s identity and authority.

(d) Limits. Withdrawal operates going forward. It does not undo a lawful use that has already occurred (for example, a broadcast that has already aired) or reach copies made by third parties. We will make reasonable efforts to remove the Child Content from materials We control (including re-editing compilations where technically feasible) and to ask partners who received it from Us to remove it. Where a Submission has already been counted toward an Event total, withdrawal may mean it no longer counts, and We may keep non-identifying counts for audit.

(e) Urgent and safety removals. Anyone, including a parent, a School Partner, or a member of the public, may report Child Content they believe is unauthorized or unsafe by emailing support@ichooseiamgroup.com. We will treat such reports as a priority, may suspend access to the content while We review it, and will act on Section 10 reports within the timelines stated there.

(f) Account deletion. An Account Holder may delete the account and all associated data at any time (Section 22). Deleting an account removes Child Content on the same basis as Section 4.8(b).

(g) Our right to remove. We may remove or disable any Child Content at any time for safety, legal, or policy reasons.

4.9 Event Entry and Prizes

(a) The entrant in any Event or Cash Contest is the adult Account Holder, not the Child. A Child does not enter, win, or receive a prize in their own right.

(b) Only participants who are eighteen (18) years of age or older are eligible to win or receive any cash prize. Any cash prize is awarded to the adult Account Holder, who is responsible for any applicable taxes and reporting.

(c) We may issue non-cash recognition, such as a digital certificate or trophy, that refers to a Child by first name or initials through the parent’s account. Such recognition is not a prize and does not constitute a public display unless the parent has approved it under Section 4.5.

(d) The Official Rules and Event Specifications state whether and how Child Submissions count toward a record attempt, leaderboard, or prize qualification. We will request eligibility or identity documents only from adults, and not from Children.

(e) No payment, gift, or inducement may be offered to a Child to take part, and no Account Holder or Creator may pressure a Child to take part.

4.10 Parental Responsibility

An Account Holder who includes a Child assumes full responsibility for: supervising the Child’s participation; deciding whether participation is appropriate; the Child’s physical safety while recording (including that no dangerous activity is involved and that recording takes place in a safe location); reviewing each Submission before approving it; ensuring compliance with these Terms; ensuring that participation complies with applicable school rules and laws (including any child-performer or work-permit requirements, where they apply); and discussing online safety with the Child. Nothing in these Terms makes Us a guardian or custodian of any Child.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Account Holder agrees to the contractual terms necessary for the Child’s participation on the Child’s behalf. Nothing in these Terms waives, releases, or limits any right or claim of a Child that cannot lawfully be waived, released, or limited by a parent or guardian, and Section 26.2 applies.

4.11 Updates

If We change this Section 4, the Family Participation Features, the Core Event Use, any Additional Use, or the approval flow in a way that expands how Child Content or a Child’s personal information is collected, used, or disclosed, We will notify the Account Holder directly (by email and in the app) at least [thirty (30)] days before the change takes effect, explain the change, and obtain fresh affirmative approval before the change applies to any Child Content or new collection. Updates operate prospectively only and never apply retroactively to a previously approved Submission without new approval. Changes that are required by law or that reduce the collection or use of Child personal information may take effect immediately. At least once every twelve (12) months We will ask the Account Holder to review and re-confirm their Family Participation authorizations, and We may suspend Family Participation Features for a Child until re-confirmed.

4.12 Priority Over Conflicting Terms

If this Section 4 conflicts with any other provision of these Terms, the Privacy Policy, any Official Rules, Event Specifications, Creator terms, School Partner materials, or any other communication, this Section 4 controls, and where provisions differ, the one that is more protective of the Child and of the parent’s rights prevails. No Official Rules, Event Specifications, or communication from a School Partner, Creator, or sponsor can expand the collection or use of Child Content beyond what the parent approved under Sections 4.4 and 4.5.

5. Schools, Groups, and Partner Organizations

We collaborate with schools, school districts, community groups, and other organizations (each a “School Partner”) that invite families to take part in Events. The following rules apply:

(a) Voluntary participation. Participation is voluntary for families. A School Partner may not require a student to take part, and may not grade, reward, or penalize a student for taking part or declining.

(b) Parents decide. A student’s participation occurs only through a parent-controlled account under Section 4. We do not treat a school’s or teacher’s permission as a substitute for the parent’s Authorization, and school staff may not create accounts for, or upload content on behalf of, students.

(c) Student data. A School Partner must not give Us student rosters, student records, or other student personal information unless it is lawful to do so (including under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and state student-privacy laws) and covered by a written agreement with Us. We do not require such information to run an Event.

(d) School-run recordings. Where a School Partner itself records a school activity, its own media-release and student-privacy policies govern that recording. Content uploaded through the Platform is governed by these Terms.

(e) Representations. Each School Partner represents that it has the internal approvals needed to promote the Event, will comply with applicable law and its own policies, and will direct parents to the Platform’s Terms, Privacy Policy, and Children’s Privacy Notice.

(f) Independent parties. A School Partner is independent of Us and is not Our agent. We do not use a School Partner’s name, logo, or marks without permission, except to identify the partner factually. School Partners are not responsible for Submissions made by Account Holders or for the operation of the Platform, and nothing in this Section extends any waiver or release to the detriment of a Child (see Section 26.2).

6. Account Registration, Security, and Communications

Adults create an account (“User Account”) to use the Services, including to purchase modules, register for seminars and Events, and use Family Participation Features. You will choose a username and password. The User Account collects Personal Data such as Your name, email address, mobile number, other contact details, and demographic profile. Registration is subject to Section 4.1 (Adult Accounts Only).

(a) Accuracy. You must keep Your account and registration details current and correct.

(b) Security. You must keep Your username and password confidential, change them from time to time, and notify Us immediately at support@ichooseiamgroup.com if You suspect they have been compromised. You are responsible for activity under Your User Account, whether or not You authorized it, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

(c) Updates and invalidation. We may ask You to update Your Personal Data and may invalidate credentials where needed for security, accuracy, or legal reasons. Where practicable We will tell You why.

(d) Communications. With Your consent where the law requires it, We may send You emails or text messages about curriculum material, Events, and purchases (“Promotional Communications”). You may opt out at any time using the link in the message, by replying STOP to a text message, or by emailing support@ichooseiamgroup.com. We do not direct marketing to Children.

(e) Refusal and termination. We may refuse access, terminate a User Account, and remove or restrict content where illegal activity is conducted through the account, where information provided is inaccurate or incomplete, or as set out in Section 27.

7. General Use of the Services; User Restrictions

You agree to comply with all guidelines, notices, operating rules, policies, and instructions that apply to the Services. We may revise these from time to time, and material changes will be handled under Section 30.

You agree not to:

(a) impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent Your affiliation with any person or entity;

(b) use the Platform or Services for any illegal purpose or activity;

(c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, or disrupt other computer systems or networks connected to the Platform or Services;

(d) post, promote, or transmit any Prohibited Content (Section 10) or any other content that is harmful, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise unlawful;

(e) interfere with another User’s use and enjoyment of the Platform or Services;

(f) upload or use any software or material containing viruses, malicious code, or other harmful components;

(g) use the Platform or Services other than in conformance with the acceptable use policies of connected networks, applicable Internet standards, and applicable law; or

(h) create multiple accounts to evade restrictions, manipulate Event results, or circumvent a suspension or block.

Our rights. We may, from time to time, upgrade, modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Platform or any Services, and will give notice where practicable. We may (but are not obliged to): monitor activity and content on the Platform; investigate suspected violations; restrict a User’s access; report suspected unlawful activity to the authorities and cooperate with them; and request information from You where We have reasonable grounds to suspect inaccurate, misleading, or fraudulent information.

Purchases and use of specific Services may be subject to additional terms, which apply in full force and effect to those Services.

8. Limited License; Restrictions on Use of the Platform

8.1 Limited License

Subject to these Terms, We grant You a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the Services for Your own use, in the manner these Terms permit. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

8.2 Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit others to:

(a) reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or otherwise exploit the Platform or any part of it for any commercial purpose without Our express written consent;

(b) frame, mirror, or create unauthorized links to the Platform, or use Our names, trademarks, or meta tags without consent;

(c) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, or attempt to derive the source code of the App or any part of the Platform, except where applicable law prohibits this restriction;

(d) use robots, spiders, scrapers, or other automated means to access the Platform, or manipulate Event activity through bots or scripts, without Our written consent;

(e) circumvent or disable any technological protection, digital rights management, security, age-screening, or verification measure;

(f) sublicense, sell, lease, rent, transfer, or distribute the App to any third party, or modify or create derivative works of it;

(g) remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice; or

(h) attempt to access, damage, or disrupt any server, computer, or database connected to the Platform.

8.3 Replication of the Verification Process

The Platform’s verification methods, processes, and tools are proprietary. If You, or an organization You control, copy or replicate the Platform’s verification process, or otherwise use any part of the Platform in an unauthorized manner to operate a competing service, We may seek any remedy available under applicable law, including injunctive relief, damages, an accounting of profits derived from the unauthorized use, and termination of access. Any monetary remedy will be determined through the dispute process in Section 28 and applicable law, and any audit will be conducted by an independent accountant on reasonable notice.

8.4 Use of Platform Content

You may access, view, and download Platform content made available for that purpose solely for personal, non-commercial use, provided You do not infringe anyone’s rights. You may not use, reproduce, distribute, or display Platform content for advertising, promotion, broadcast, sale, or any other commercial purpose without Our prior written consent, which We may condition on a separate license (including revenue-sharing or other terms negotiated case by case). You must obtain all permissions needed for any third-party music, trademarks, or other intellectual property in content You use. Content that depicts a Child may not be downloaded, reposted, or reused for any purpose other than a parent’s personal, private use of their own Child’s Submission. Unauthorized commercial use may result in termination of access, legal action, and claims for damages.

9. User Content

“User Content” means any video, audio, image, text, or other material that You or Your authorized users create, upload, transmit, display, store, or share through the Platform, including every Submission. You are solely responsible for Your User Content, including its accuracy, legality, quality, integrity, and intellectual property ownership. You must ensure that it complies with these Terms, Our Privacy Policy, and applicable law.

User Content must not contain any Prohibited Content described in Section 10, and must not otherwise violate any law or infringe any third party’s rights. Personal or confidential information of others may not be included without the rightful owner’s authorization, and no personal information of a Child may be included except as Section 4 permits.

9.1 Our Rights Regarding User Content

(a) We may, but are not obliged to, monitor and review User Content. We may remove, edit, disable, or restrict any User Content that violates these Terms or Our policies, or that We reasonably consider unlawful or unsafe, and We will give notice where practicable (but are not required to do so where safety or legal obligations require immediate action).

(b) We may access, use, preserve, and disclose account information and User Content where reasonably necessary to comply with a court order or lawful request from law enforcement; enforce these Terms; address security or technical issues; detect or prevent fraud; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Us, Our Users, Children, or the public, as the law permits.

(c) If prohibited content is uploaded from Your account for any reason, You must delete it immediately. We are not responsible for backing up or restoring User Content, and You should keep Your own copies.

(d) We are not obliged to become involved in disputes between Users, or between a User and a third party, about User Content. This does not limit Our own obligations under Sections 4, 10, and 14.

10. Prohibited Content: Illegal Conduct, Violence, Exploitation, and Dangerous Activities

The Platform is a family-oriented environment. Prohibited Content is not permitted in any User Content, profile, description, communication, or Event, whether live or recorded, and whether or not a Child appears. The categories below are illustrative and not exhaustive.

10.1 Violence and Graphic Content

Content that shows, threatens, glorifies, or encourages violence, physical or sexual assault, gore, serious injury, or the display or use of weapons to threaten or harm is prohibited. Sharing or praising acts of violence, or content that incites violence against any person or group, is prohibited.

10.2 Animal Cruelty

Content that shows or encourages the abuse, torture, neglect, or killing of animals, or the staging of harm to animals for entertainment, is prohibited.

10.3 Property Damage and Illegal Conduct

Content that depicts or encourages vandalism, arson, theft, trespass, damage to property, or any other unlawful act, or that is recorded in violation of the rules of a venue or school, is prohibited.

10.4 Sexual Exploitation, Child Sexual Abuse Material, and Intimate Imagery

(a) Zero tolerance for child exploitation. Content that sexualizes, endangers, grooms, or exploits any person under eighteen (18) is strictly prohibited, whether the content is real, fictional, animated, or generated or altered by artificial intelligence. This includes child sexual abuse material (“CSAM”) in any form, and applies even where the stated purpose is to raise awareness. Efforts to solicit, groom, or contact a Child, or to obtain sexual or personal content from a Child, are prohibited.

(b) Nudity and sexual content. Nudity, sexually explicit material, sexually suggestive behavior, and the offer or sale of sexual services are prohibited.

(c) Non-consensual intimate imagery. Intimate visual depictions of an identifiable person that are published without that person’s consent, including “digital forgeries” or synthetic images created with artificial intelligence, as well as threats to share intimate images (including sextortion), are prohibited.

10.5 Dangerous Stunts, Challenges, and Activities

Content that depicts or encourages dangerous stunts, challenges, or activities likely to cause injury, including activities involving fire, heights, vehicles, choking or breath-holding, or ingesting hazardous substances, is prohibited. No Child may be depicted in, or encouraged to take part in, any dangerous activity.

10.6 Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Weapons

The promotion, sale, or facilitation of illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, or the misuse of legal substances is prohibited. Alcohol, tobacco, and vaping products may appear in content only where an adult-only Event Specification expressly allows it, and never in content that depicts or is directed at a Child; a Child may never be shown consuming, holding, handling, or promoting such products. The sale of firearms or other weapons is prohibited.

10.7 Hate, Harassment, and Bullying

Hate speech and content that dehumanizes, discriminates against, or harasses a person or group on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected attribute, as well as bullying, intimidation, stalking, and abusive contact, are prohibited.

10.8 Doxxing and Privacy Violations

Publishing or threatening to publish another person’s private information (such as a home address, telephone number, school, or schedule), recording people in private spaces (such as restrooms or changing areas) or without any consent that the law requires, and using content to locate, track, or contact a Child are prohibited.

10.9 Self-Harm and Dangerous Misinformation

Content that promotes, glorifies, or instructs suicide, self-injury, or disordered eating is prohibited. Supportive, responsible discussion of personal experience is permitted.

10.10 Extremism, Trafficking, Fraud, and Impersonation

Content supporting terrorism, violent extremism, or dangerous organizations; human trafficking or exploitation; scams or fraud; impersonation of another person or organization; and synthetic or manipulated media (including voice or face cloning) that misrepresents a real person or child without that person’s, or a parent’s, consent are prohibited.

10.11 Platform and Record Integrity

Submitting falsified, staged, edited, or misleading content to support a record or prize claim; altering or spoofing timestamps, location data, or device information; using bots, scripts, or purchased engagement; and re-using another person’s Submission are prohibited.

10.12 Mandatory Reporting to NCMEC and Law Enforcement

If We obtain actual knowledge of apparent child sexual exploitation, including apparent CSAM or related offenses, We will report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (“NCMEC”) CyberTipline as required by 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, preserve the content and related account information for the period the law requires, and cooperate with law enforcement. We may make such reports without notice to the account holder. Accounts involved will be terminated immediately, and there is no right of appeal for CSAM. Reports of suspected child exploitation may be sent to support@ichooseiamgroup.com and, if a child is in immediate danger, to local emergency services.

10.13 TAKE IT DOWN Act: Notice and Removal of Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery

(a) Any identifiable individual, or an authorized person acting on that individual’s behalf (including the parent or guardian of a Minor), may ask Us to remove a non-consensual intimate visual depiction, including a digital forgery, by sending a request to support@ichooseiamgroup.com with: (i) a physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the content and information reasonably sufficient to locate it (such as a link); (iii) a brief statement of a good-faith belief that the depiction was published without the individual’s consent; and (iv) contact information.

(b) Consistent with the TAKE IT DOWN Act (Pub. L. 119-12), upon receiving a valid request We will remove the depiction as soon as possible and no later than forty-eight (48) hours after receipt, and will make reasonable efforts to identify and remove known identical copies on the Platform and channels We control.

(c) We may reject incomplete or clearly abusive requests to the extent the law permits, and will tell the requester what is needed to complete a request where practicable.

10.14 Enforcement and Reporting

We may remove content, suspend or terminate accounts, disqualify entries, withhold prizes, and refer matters to law enforcement for violations of this Section 10, without refund. To report Prohibited Content, email support@ichooseiamgroup.com or use any in-app reporting tool. Section 11 describes Our wider approach to community standards.

11. Community Guidelines and Enforcement

I Choose I AM! is designed to unite people through fun and inclusive WRBEs in a safe, respectful environment. In addition to Section 10, the following standards apply to every Account Holder, Creator, and participant:

(a) Kindness and respect. Treat others with respect. Harassment, bullying, insults, unwelcome comments, intimidation, and abuse are not tolerated.

(b) Promotions and spam. The Platform is not a marketplace. Do not promote or sell goods or services unless an Event Specification authorizes it, and do not send irrelevant, bulk, or misleading messages or links.

(d) Safety reports. If You see content or conduct that violates these standards, please report it to support@ichooseiamgroup.com. Disagreement with someone’s opinion is not by itself a violation, and We may act against false or abusive reports.

Our approach to enforcement. We assess each situation in light of its context and severity. Depending on the circumstances We may remove content, issue a warning, restrict features, suspend or terminate an account, disqualify entries, and report conduct to the authorities. You may ask Us to review a decision by emailing support@ichooseiamgroup.com within thirty (30) days (except where Section 10.12 applies).

12. Use of Video, Photography, and Recordings

12.1 Consent of People Depicted

Submitters must ensure that every identifiable person in a video or photograph has agreed to appear in it, or, in the case of a Child, that the Child’s parent or guardian has given Authorization under Section 4. Submitters must not record in places where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

12.2 Adults at Events and in Public Footage

Where We or Our Authorized Creators record at a live event, adult attendees will be told by signage or announcement that recording is taking place. By choosing to remain in a clearly marked recording area, an adult consents to appear in footage used for the purposes described in Section 13. Adults who do not wish to appear may use designated no-filming areas, ask staff to accommodate them, or leave the area, and We will make reasonable efforts to respect those choices.

12.3 Children at Live Events

We do not publish identifiable images or recordings of a Child taken at a live event unless the Child’s parent or guardian has given Authorization under Section 4. Where a School Partner organizes the event, the School Partner’s own media-release rules also apply, and We will follow a parent’s opt-out communicated to Us.

12.4 Authorized Creators

Our designated representatives and other Authorized Creators may capture video and photographs at events and locations such as college and university campuses, campus landmarks and signage, and meetings with executives, students, and campus groups. We make no claim to any trademarks, logos, or other intellectual property that appear incidentally in such footage (for example, university logos or branded imagery), which is captured in the same way as footage that any individual might post to a public social platform.

12.5 Removal Requests

We will consider in good faith any request by an individual (or the parent or guardian of a Child) to remove video or photographs in which they appear. We will remove content where the law requires it, where it depicts a Child without valid Authorization, where it is an intimate or non-consensual depiction (Section 10.13), where it infringes privacy or intellectual property rights, or where a withdrawal applies (Section 4.8). In other cases We may decline a request, in which case We will explain the reason where practicable. Requests should be sent to support@ichooseiamgroup.com.

13. Content Ownership, Licenses, and Publicity

13.1 You Keep Ownership

As between You and Us, You retain ownership of Your User Content and of the rights You or a Child hold in performances, voices, and likenesses, subject to the licenses below and to the rights of any third parties in material that You have included. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Submissions to Us or to any Creator.

13.2 Limited Event License

By submitting User Content, You grant Us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license (sublicensable only to service providers acting for Us, such as hosting and video platforms) to host, store, reproduce, process, transcode, display, perform, and transmit the User Content solely for the Core Event Use described in Section 4.5(b), and for safety, moderation, and legal compliance. For Submissions containing Child Content, this license is limited by, and operates only within, the approvals given under Sections 4.4 and 4.5, and ends prospectively on withdrawal under Section 4.8.

13.3 Additional Uses of Adult Content

For User Content that depicts only adults, You also grant Us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, edit, translate, and display it in marketing and promotional materials for the Platform and Events, in educational modules, presentations, and books, and in compilations, for as long as it remains part of those materials. You may opt out of these Additional Uses at any time by emailing support@ichooseiamgroup.com, or by deleting the content or Your account (Section 22); after an opt-out We will stop new uses and remove the content from materials We control where practicable, although We cannot recall materials already distributed, such as broadcast or printed items.

13.4 No Compensation; Moral Rights; Approval

Unless the Official Rules or a written agreement says otherwise, You will not receive royalties or other compensation for the uses described in Sections 13.2 and 13.3, and participation and the benefits of the Services are the consideration for those licenses. To the extent permitted by law, You agree not to assert moral rights in a way that prevents those uses, and You do not have a right to approve compilations that are within Core Event Use. None of this applies to, or limits, any right of a Child or any right of a parent under Section 4.

13.5 Your Representations

You represent and warrant that: (a) You own, or have obtained, all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to submit the User Content and to grant the licenses above; (b) where a Child appears, You are the Child’s parent or guardian and have given Authorization; (c) the User Content is accurate and lawful and does not infringe or violate any intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other right of any person; (d) it contains no Prohibited Content or malicious code; and (e) it complies with these Terms.

13.6 Influencers, Celebrities, and Brand Ambassadors

An influencer, celebrity, or other public figure who agrees in writing or through an opt-in on the Platform to take part in an Event grants Us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use their name, image, likeness, brand, and recordings of their participation to promote the Event and the Platform, for the term stated in that agreement or, if none, for as long as the Event materials remain available. They may withdraw consent prospectively by emailing support@ichooseiamgroup.com. This Section 13.6 applies to adults only.

13.7 RSVP Information

If an adult RSVPs to an Event, We may use their name, photograph, and content they post indicating their participation to promote the Event (including on social media, in emails sent in compliance with applicable law, and in promotional materials), until they opt out by emailing support@ichooseiamgroup.com. We do not use a Child’s name or image in RSVP marketing.

13.8 Our Intellectual Property

All content on the Platform other than User Content, including trade names, logos, software, text, graphics, and the Services (“Our Intellectual Property”), belongs to I Choose I AM! and its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants You any right in Our Intellectual Property except the limited license in Section 8.1. The trademarks displayed on the Platform are registered or unregistered marks of Us or third parties, and You may not use them without written permission, take any action that impairs Our rights in them, or register deceptively similar marks. If You give Us feedback or suggestions, We may use them without obligation to You.

14. Third-Party Music, Trademarks, and Copyright

14.1 Songs and Music

Events may involve singing or performing existing songs, for example the song designated for a particular Event. Songs, lyrics, and recordings are protected by copyright and belong to their rights holders. The Event Specifications will state whether We have obtained licenses that cover the Event and, if so, what they cover. Unless they say so, You are responsible for ensuring that You have the rights needed to perform, record, and upload any music in Your Submission. You acknowledge that a Submission containing copyrighted music may be subject to claims, muting, blocking, monetization by the rights holder, or removal by YouTube or the rights holder, and that We are not liable for those outcomes.

14.2 Third-Party Brands and Logos

If User Content features third-party brands, logos, or trademarks (for example, a branded food product), You are solely responsible for ensuring that its inclusion does not violate any rights. Brand and sports-team references are for entertainment purposes only and do not imply any affiliation with, or endorsement by, any brand, team, league, or other entity, and neither We nor participants hold any rights in those marks.

14.3 Copyright Infringement Notices (DMCA)

We respect intellectual property rights. If You believe content on the Platform infringes Your copyright, You may send a notice (“DMCA Takedown Notice”) to Our designated copyright agent at support@ichooseiamgroup.com [Bryce Thompson, Calle Oneill G8 San Juan PUERTO RICO 00918 United States]

The notice must include:

(a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act for the copyright owner;

(b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list);

(d) Your contact information, including an address, telephone number, and email address;

(e) a statement that You have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

(f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that You are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

We will promptly remove or disable access to material that is the subject of a compliant notice and may notify the User who posted it. A User who believes material was removed by mistake may send a counter-notification containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). We will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Intimate-imagery and child-safety removals follow Section 10 rather than this Section.

15. YouTube, Third-Party Services, Links, and Advertising

15.1 YouTube and Video Hosting

(a) Approved Submissions are sent through the I Choose I Am channel to a YouTube channel that We operate, set to private, unlisted, or public as the Event Specifications and approval screen disclose. You do not need a YouTube account to take part, and We do not ask You to link Your own YouTube channel.

(b) YouTube is operated by Google LLC. Data processed by YouTube is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service, the YouTube API Services Terms of Service, and Google’s Privacy Policy. We configure channel and video settings, including audience designation (such as “made for kids” where required by YouTube’s rules and COPPA) and disabling comments or other interactions where applicable.

(c) “Private” means that access is restricted to the people We authorize through YouTube’s controls. We cannot guarantee absolute secrecy, for example in the event of a security incident or legal process, and We are not responsible for changes in YouTube’s availability, features, policies, or enforcement actions.

15.2 Third-Party Content and Links

Some information on the Services is prepared by third parties, including other Users. We make no warranty about that information and are not responsible for decisions based on it. The Services may link to third-party websites and services (“Third-Party Links”), which are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control, endorse, or warrant them, and Your use of them is at Your own risk.

15.3 Advertising

The Platform may display advertisements or promotions from third parties to adult Users. Your dealings with advertisers are solely between You and the advertiser. We do not show third-party advertising on or alongside Child Content, do not target advertising to Children, and do not use a Child’s personal information for advertising.

16. Location, Timestamp, and Audit-Trail Data

(a) What We collect. To help verify that Submissions were made at the time and place claimed, the mobile app records the date and time of each Submission and, if You grant location permission on Your device, the geolocation associated with it, along with limited device and app information.

(b) Parent awareness. When a parent records a Child, the location data relates to the Child’s location. By enabling location permission and approving a Submission, the parent acknowledges and consents to this collection. A parent may refuse or withdraw location permission in the device settings, but a Submission without location data may not qualify for verification or a prize.

(c) Limited use. We use audit-trail data only to verify and audit Submissions, prevent fraud, keep the Platform secure, and comply with law. We do not use it for marketing or profiling, do not display it publicly, do not include it in YouTube titles, descriptions, or other public metadata, and strip location information from public versions of videos.

(d) Sharing and retention. We share audit-trail data only with service providers that support the Services, with an independent verifier or record-keeping body in aggregated or de-identified form unless a parent has approved otherwise, and where the law requires. We keep precise location data only as long as needed for verification and audit, then delete it or reduce it to a less precise level (for example, city or region), as stated in the Privacy Policy.

17. World Record Breaking Events: Claims, Verification, and Recognition

(a) Entertainment platform. The Platform is primarily an entertainment and community platform that facilitates user-generated content and attempts to set records. It is not a formal adjudicator of world records.

(b) Responsibility for submissions. You are solely responsible for the accuracy, authenticity, and integrity of the content You submit, including any record claim, and You must ensure that claims are truthful and made in good faith.

(c) Verification and its limits. The Platform provides a verification process that may include review of evidence, the audit-trail data described in Section 16, automated tools, and random sampling. Verification has limits, may contain errors or technical constraints, and is not conclusive or official.

(d) Event Creators and challenges. WRBEs may be user-created. Participants may opt in to let others challenge a record, and challengers must meet identical criteria. The original Creator acts as the primary judge of whether a challenger meets those criteria. We do not adjudicate, validate, or guarantee any record claim, and we solely provide verification tools, trophies, and digital certificates as a service.

(e) Certificates and trophies. Digital trophies and certificates may be generated for participants of any Event size. A certificate shows the Event title and logo chosen by the Event Creator and reflects the Creator’s submission. It is not official record validation by the Platform. For Children, certificates are issued through the parent’s account and are subject to Section 4.9(c).

(f) No official recognition. Records attempted or claimed through the Platform are for entertainment purposes and are not officially recognized by Guinness World Records or any other external record-keeping body unless that body says so in writing. Records may not qualify for third-party recognition.

(g) Institutions, sponsors, and promoters. A university, school, government institution, private organization, sponsor, influencer, or media outlet that promotes an Event is not, for that reason alone, legally responsible for the conduct of a participant or a local business. Liability for illegal or unethical conduct rests with the person who engaged in it. This paragraph does not limit any person’s own duties or liability under the law, and it does not apply to claims by or on behalf of a Child.

18. Cash Contests, Prizes, and Official Rules

18.1 Official Rules

Cash Contests hosted on the Platform (including any contest described on an Event page or flyer) are governed by these Terms and by the Official Rules published for that Cash Contest, which state the Event, prize structure, entry period, eligibility criteria, and verification requirements. If the Official Rules conflict with Section 4, Section 4 controls. Participation constitutes agreement to the Official Rules.

18.2 Eligibility

(a) Only participants who are eighteen (18) years of age or older (or the age of majority where they live, if higher) are eligible to win or receive a cash prize. The entrant, winner, and recipient is the adult Account Holder; no Child may enter or receive a prize in their own right.

(b) Eligibility is further limited by the Official Rules, including any restrictions by location, relationship to Us or Our partners, and compliance with law. Cash Contests are void where prohibited.

(c) Unless the Official Rules say otherwise, Cash Contests are administered as verification-based participation contests rather than games of chance. Where the law requires registration, bonding, or a free alternative method of entry, the Official Rules will say so.

18.3 Participant Responsibilities

To take part, You must create a valid account using accurate information; follow the Official Rules, including submitting valid verification photos and videos through the Platform; ensure that all participants in Your Event are verified through the Platform using Your unique Member ID; comply with any sports-team, brand, and non-profit fundraising requirements in the Official Rules; and, where the Event involves fundraising, select a nonprofit from the organizations listed on www.charitynavigator.com. No content that depicts a Child may be used to satisfy a requirement that involves alcohol, tobacco, or vaping branding or consumption, and no such requirement may be applied to a Child.

18.4 Verification Process

(a) Random sampling. We verify entries through random sampling. Initially, one hundred (100) entries are selected at a time using a secure, randomized algorithm, and the sample size may increase proportionally as the contest grows.

(b) Standards. To qualify, an entry must meet the verification standards in the Official Rules, which may include a clear connection to a designated team or event, visible branding as specified, and compliance with all contest rules.

(c) Verification reports. Participants who believe they have qualified will receive a report stating whether their entry was selected, the result, and whether more information is needed.

(d) Disqualification and appeal. If an entry is disqualified, We will give the specific reasons, and You may submit additional proof for reconsideration within three (3) business days of the notice. We may conduct additional verification as needed.

(e) Winner confirmation and payment. Confirmed winners will be notified and paid within three (3) business days after successful verification, using the method specified at registration. Winners may be asked for additional documentation, including tax forms, and are responsible for applicable taxes. Prizes that cannot be delivered because of inaccurate information or a failure to respond within [thirty (30)] days may be forfeited.

18.5 Prize Structure and Limits

The number, amount, and eligibility criteria of prizes are stated in the Official Rules and the published contest flyer. Each Participant or Creator may win one (1) cash prize per Event, and may take part in new WRBEs spaced at least thirty (30) days apart. Prizes are non-transferable and subject to availability. We are not responsible for delays in prize fulfillment caused by circumstances beyond Our reasonable control. Once a contest reaches its designated participant capacity it is not re-offered, and new contests operate independently of earlier ones. With the winner’s consent where the law requires it, We may announce the name and city or region of an adult winner.

18.6 Changes to a Cash Contest

We may modify or end a Cash Contest where needed to prevent fraud, address a technical failure, protect safety, or comply with law. Other changes to the Official Rules will be posted on Our website and in the app and will apply prospectively. We will not make a change that adversely affects an entry already verified as qualifying, except as required by law or to address fraud, and We will never make a change that reduces the protections in Section 4.

18.7 Disputes

Disputes about contest outcomes or prize qualification must first go through Our internal process. You must submit a written request within three (3) business days of the disqualification notice, with supporting documentation, to support@ichooseiamgroup.com. If the dispute is not resolved, Section 28 applies.

18.8 Contest Liability

Subject to Section 24.3, We are not liable for indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages related to a Cash Contest, including delays, data loss, or system outages, and Our total liability for any claim related to a Cash Contest will not exceed the value of the prize You were eligible to receive. We will use reasonable efforts to fix technical difficulties but are not responsible for financial consequences of malfunctions beyond Our reasonable control. Participation is voluntary.

19. Creators and Contest Administrators

A “Creator” is any individual, influencer, or entity that uses the Platform to create, host, or administer a WRBE or contest. In addition to the rest of these Terms, Creators agree to the following.

19.1 Child Safety Obligations of Creators

(a) Creators must comply with Sections 4 and 10, must not solicit, collect, or receive personal information from or about a Child other than through the Platform with the parent’s approval, and must not contact a Child directly.

(b) Creators must not publish or use Child Content, or a Child’s name or image, for promotion unless the parent has separately opted in to that use, and must not share Child Content with any third party.

(c) Child Content is not delivered to a Creator unless the parent approved disclosure to that Creator as an Additional Use under Section 4.5(d).

19.2 Event Responsibilities

By creating, promoting, and running a WRBE, the Creator assumes full responsibility for: the accuracy and legitimacy of the record claim; any legal consequences of the claim; disputes with challengers; event integrity; compliance with applicable laws (including contest, sweepstakes, tax, advertising, and child-protection laws); and the administration of the contest, including determining winners and delivering prizes, unless the Official Rules say We do so.

19.3 Brands, Sponsors, and Third-Party Rights

Creators are solely responsible for their agreements with brands, sponsors, vendors, and other third parties, and for ensuring that any use of third-party logos, trademarks, or copyrighted material within an Event or in their own promotion does not infringe any rights. We do not monitor, and are not responsible for, Creators’ private agreements or their independent use of Event content.

19.4 Submissions and Delivery to Creators

Participants submit pictures and videos through the Platform. Participants retain ownership (Section 13.1) and grant the licenses in Section 13; subject to Section 19.1, We may grant the Creator a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use Submissions that depict adults for the contest. Where the app delivers Submissions to an email address supplied by the Creator, the Creator is responsible for entering a valid address; if it is missing or invalid, Submissions will be held in Our system, which may delay the contest, and Our customer service team may assist, for which a reasonable service fee may apply.

19.5 Performance, Interruptions, and Backups

We strive to keep the Platform running smoothly but do not guarantee uninterrupted performance. We will use reasonable efforts to resolve problems such as system crashes, leaderboard errors, or measurement failures, including those caused by high volumes of uploads. To the extent permitted by law, We are not financially liable for losses resulting from technical failures, and We do not provide refunds or compensation for service interruptions during a contest. Creators are responsible for maintaining independent, up-to-date backups of their Event data, participant data, results, and brand materials, and We have no obligation to restore lost data.

19.6 Access and Promotion

Creators agree to give Us access to their Events so that We may showcase the Platform. For Events with more than one thousand (1,000) attendees, the Creator will provide two (2) complimentary media or event passes for Our team. This Section 19.6 does not entitle Us to access areas where Children are present except as the Creator, the School Partner, and parents allow.

19.7 Indemnity and Modifications

Creators agree to indemnify and hold Us harmless as stated in Section 26 from claims arising out of their contests, including participant disputes, intellectual property claims, and regulatory compliance. We may modify the terms for Creators in accordance with Section 30.

20. Events: Registration, Conduct, and Recordings

20.1 Event Registration

Some Events have eligibility requirements (such as age, prior experience, or prerequisite programs), which are stated on the registration page. You are responsible for ensuring that You meet them. You must provide accurate and complete information when registering. Some Events require an application, and details such as deadlines and selection criteria are published on the registration page. Any Event requirement is subject to Section 4.

20.2 Payment, Confirmation, and Cancellation

Fees, accepted payment methods, and payment deadlines will be shared via email support@ichooseiamgroup.com. On successful registration and payment You will receive a confirmation email with Event details. You may cancel by following the instructions on the Platform, subject to the cancellation policy displayed for that Event. We may cancel an Event due to unforeseen circumstances (for example, insufficient enrollment) and will refund registration fees paid, and will notify participants as soon as reasonably possible.

20.3 Code of Conduct

All participants must treat others with respect; may not engage in harassment or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, or any other protected characteristic; must not disrupt an Event or fail to follow staff instructions; must maintain professional conduct and refrain from unauthorized solicitation; and must report safety concerns to Event staff immediately. We may remove participants who violate the code of conduct, and may do so without warning or refund.

20.4 Event Modifications

We may modify an Event’s schedule, speakers, content, or other aspects because of unforeseen circumstances, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify registered participants of significant changes. No modification may reduce the protections of Section 4.

20.5 Recordings at Events

We may record Event sessions for archival, educational, and promotional purposes in accordance with Section 12. Adults who have concerns about being recorded may contact Us in advance, and We will try to accommodate opt-out requests. Recordings that depict Children are handled under Sections 4 and 12.3. Intellectual property in materials presented or created at an Event belongs to Us (or the relevant owner), and participants may not record, copy, or distribute those materials without written permission, other than a parent’s personal recording of their own Child.

20.6 Children at Live Events

Children who attend a live Event must be accompanied and supervised by their parent, guardian, or an adult designated by the parent or School Partner. Our personnel and volunteers are instructed not to be alone with a Child and not to take custody of a Child. We do not provide childcare, and We are not responsible for a Child’s supervision.

20.7 Live Events Not Organized by the Platform

If You take part in a live event, paid or unpaid, conducted by an influencer or another organizer that We do not run, then, to the extent permitted by law, We are not responsible for its organization, management, ticket pricing, execution, or legal compliance, and Your participation is at Your own risk. The organizer is solely responsible for event information, financial transactions, and compliance with applicable laws. This Section 20.7 does not release Us from liability for Our own conduct, and does not apply to claims by or on behalf of a Child.

21. Fees, Payments, Refunds, and Cancellations

21.1 Current Fees and Future Plans

We do not currently charge a fee for creating a User Account or for the basic features of the Platform. We may introduce subscriptions or other payment structures in the future. If We do, We will give You at least [thirty (30)] days’ notice through the Platform or by email and You may decide whether to continue under the new structure.

21.2 Payment Terms

Purchases (for example, book modules or Event registrations) are made by adult Account Holders only. You are responsible for any taxes, including goods and services tax, resulting from Your use of the Platform. Prices and fees are shown before purchase.

21.3 Cancellations and Refunds

(a) Except as stated in these Terms or required by law, sales are final and cannot be cancelled once confirmed.

(b) We may cancel an order if We cannot deliver it satisfactorily or if the User attempts to exploit the system or violates these Terms, and We will tell You within a reasonable time and refund any amount charged.

(c) You are entitled to a refund if the product or service is not delivered, if an Event is cancelled by Us, or where the law requires a refund. We do not provide refunds for dissatisfaction or change of mind except where required by law or stated on the Event registration page.

(d) To request a refund, email support@ichooseiamgroup.com. We will tell You whether the request is approved, and approved refunds will be credited to the original payment method within [ten (10)] business days (Your bank or card issuer may take longer to post it).

22. Privacy, Data Retention, and Account Deletion

22.1 Privacy Policy and Children’s Privacy Notice

When You use the Platform We collect personal information as described in Our Privacy Policy and, for Children, in Our Children’s Privacy Notice each of which is incorporated by reference. Your provision of information is voluntary, but some features cannot work without it. We do not sell or share Children’s personal information.

22.2 Account Deletion and Data Rights

You may delete Your account, and all data associated with it, at any time through the in-app controls or by emailing support@ichooseiamgroup.com. You may also exercise any rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of Your personal information that apply to You under applicable law. A parent may withdraw authorization for a Child without deleting the account (Section 4.8).

22.3 What Happens After Deletion

After a verified deletion request We will delete the account and its associated personal information, including Child Content, from active systems within [thirty (30)] days and from backups within [ninety (90)] days. We may retain limited information as permitted or required by law, such as Consent Records and records of withdrawal or deletion, payment and tax records, security and fraud-prevention logs, data subject to a legal hold or mandatory report (Section 10.12), and non-identifying audit information. Retained data is handled under the Privacy Policy and is not used for any other purpose.

22.4 Termination Effects on Retention

Termination of an account under Section 27 does not entitle You to retain a copy of Child Content that We are required to delete under this Section, but it does not affect Your right to a refund for undelivered products.

23. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PLATFORM AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

We do not warrant that the Platform or Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; that defects will be corrected; that the Platform or its servers are free of viruses or other harmful components; that the Services will meet Your requirements; or that the Services will be compatible with all operating systems, devices, and networks. The Platform may contain bugs and errors. Transmissions over the Internet may be interrupted, delayed, or intercepted by third parties. You are responsible for any damage to Your own device or loss of data resulting from downloading or using the Services, to the extent permitted by law.

The Services are for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes and are not a substitute for an academic curriculum. We make no warranty about the outcome of any examination, assessment, record claim, or Event. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of third-party products, services, links, or advertisements.

Nothing in this Section disclaims a duty that applicable law imposes on Us and that cannot be disclaimed, including Our duties regarding children’s privacy, mandatory reporting, and the removal of intimate imagery.

24. Limitation of Liability

24.1 Exclusion

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 24.3, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AND CONTENT PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM: (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES; (B) THE CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE PLATFORM; (C) CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THE PLATFORM; (D) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT BY THIRD PARTIES; (E) ERRORS OR INACCURACIES IN CONTENT; OR (F) BUGS, VIRUSES, OR SIMILAR ITEMS TRANSMITTED BY A THIRD PARTY.

This limitation applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if We have been advised of the possibility of such damage.

24.2 Cap

SUBJECT TO SECTION 24.3, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE AND (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

24.3 What These Limits Do Not Cover

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for: death or personal injury caused by negligence where the law does not allow limitation.

24.4 Allocation of Risk; Local Law

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some of the limits above may not apply to You, and in those places Our liability is limited to the fullest extent the law permits. You acknowledge that these provisions reflect a reasonable allocation of risk and that they form an essential basis on which the Services are offered.

25. Assumption of Risk and Release for Promotional Events (Adults)

Minor participation in any promotional event, including a World Record Breaking Event, is governed exclusively by the Adult Registration, Minor Participation, and Parental Authorization section above. This Section 25 applies to adult participants only.

(a) Assumption of risk. By taking part in a promotional event organized by I Choose I AM!, online or in person, an adult acknowledges that participation is voluntary and involves risks, which may include physical injury, illness, emotional distress, and property loss. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the adult assumes the risks that are inherent in and reasonably foreseeable from taking part.

(b) Event disclaimer. We make no warranty about the accuracy of information presented at events, or that participation will lead to any specific result. Individual results depend on many factors.

(c) Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, an adult participant releases and covenants not to sue Us, Our parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, volunteers, and representatives (the “Released Parties”) for loss, damage, or injury sustained by that adult or their property while taking part in the promotional event, except for loss caused by the Released Parties’ gross negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of law, and except for any claim that cannot lawfully be released.

(d) Medical treatment. An adult participant agrees that, if they are unable to consent, emergency medical treatment may be obtained for them, and that they are responsible for its cost. We do not provide medical care.

(e) Event rules. Participants must follow the rules and instructions of Us, Event organizers, venues, and service providers, and may be removed for failing to do so.

(f) Online events. Participants acknowledge risks inherent in internet-based events, such as service outages, hardware or software failures, and data breaches, for which the Released Parties are not liable except as Section 24.3 provides.

(g) Name and likeness. Adults’ use of name and likeness is addressed in Section 13.

26. Indemnification and Limits on Indemnification

26.1 Your Indemnity

Subject to Section 26.2, You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Us, Our affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents, volunteers, and representatives from third-party claims, and resulting damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), to the extent they arise out of: (a) Your User Content; (b) Your breach of these Terms or of any representation or warranty You make in them; (c) Your violation of law or of a third party’s rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; (d) false or misleading nonprofit fundraising or record claims You make; or (e) for Creators, the matters described in Section 19.

26.2 Overarching Limits on Indemnification and Releases

This Section 26.2 overrides every indemnity, release, waiver, and hold-harmless provision in these Terms, the Official Rules, Event Specifications, and any Creator or School Partner terms.

(a) No indemnity or release transfers to You any statutory or regulatory duty that applies to Us as the operator of the Platform, including duties under COPPA and other children’s privacy laws, under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, under the TAKE IT DOWN Act, and under copyright and consumer-protection laws.

(b) You are not required to indemnify any person for that person’s own unlawful conduct, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of these Terms or the law, including Our own.

(c) Nothing requires a parent or guardian to waive, release, or indemnify against any right or claim of a Child that cannot lawfully be waived, released, or indemnified by a parent or guardian. A parent’s indemnity in connection with a Child extends only to losses to the extent caused by the parent’s own breach of these Terms or unlawful act.

(d) An indemnity applies only where the indemnified party gives prompt notice of the claim, allows You to control its defense (subject to Your obtaining no settlement that imposes obligations on that party without its consent), and reasonably cooperates.

(e) Where the law of a place where You live restricts indemnification by consumers, these provisions apply only to the extent that law allows.

27. Termination and Suspension

(a) These Terms remain in effect until terminated by You or Us. You may terminate by deleting Your account (Section 22).

(b) We may suspend, limit, or terminate Your account, remove Your content, or block access to the Platform if You violate these Terms (including through illegal activity, infringement, or violation of Section 4 or 10), if Your information is inaccurate, if You fail to pay amounts due, if We are required to do so by law or by a request from law enforcement, or for security or technical reasons. We will give notice where practicable (by email or through Your account), but We may act immediately and without notice where safety, legal compliance, or serious misuse requires.

(c) On termination, Your right to use the Platform ends. Termination does not cancel obligations that arose beforehand, including payment for products already ordered, and does not affect Your right to access products You already purchased, in accordance with their terms. Data retention and deletion follow Section 22 and Section 4.8.

(d) Survival. The following survive termination: Sections 4.6 (Consent Records), 4.8(b)–(d), 10.12, 13, 14, 17(c), 22.3, 23, 24, 26, 28, 31, and any other provision that by its nature is intended to survive.

28. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

(a) Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising from them or from the Platform, including any Cash Contest, are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and by applicable federal law.

(b) Informal resolution first. Before starting a formal proceeding, You and We agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by written notice to the other party (to support@ichooseiamgroup.com in Our case) and good-faith discussion for at least thirty (30) days.

(c) Courts. Subject to paragraph (d), any dispute that is not resolved informally will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and You and We consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts. Either party may seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual property or confidential information in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Mandatory local rights. Nothing in this Section limits any mandatory consumer, privacy, or child-protection rights that You have under the law of the country or state where You live, or any right to bring a claim before a data-protection or consumer-protection authority. Nothing in these Terms requires a Child to arbitrate a claim, or limits the right of a parent or guardian to bring a claim on a Child’s behalf in a court of competent jurisdiction, to the extent the law gives that right.

29. International Users and Global Compliance

(a) The Platform is operated from the United States and is designed to align with U.S. law, including COPPA principles and the TAKE IT DOWN Act, as well as applicable laws of other countries. Access from other places is at Your own initiative and Your responsibility to comply with local law. Some Events or prizes may not be available in some countries.

(b) Where the law of another jurisdiction sets a higher age for a child’s digital consent, requires a particular method of obtaining parental consent, or gives additional rights (for example, under the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, the UK Children’s Code, or India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023), We apply the stricter requirement to Users and Children subject to that law.

(c) If You access the Platform from outside the United States, You acknowledge that Your information, including a Child’s, may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries under safeguards described in the Privacy Policy.

(d) You must not use the Platform if You are subject to sanctions or export restrictions that prohibit You from receiving the Services or any prize.

(e) These Terms are written in English, and the English version controls where a translation differs, except where local law requires otherwise.

30. Changes to These Terms

(a) We may update these Terms to reflect changes in law, regulation, or the Services. We will post the updated Terms with a new effective date.

(b) For a material change, We will give notice by email to the Account Holder and in the app at least [thirty (30)] days before the change takes effect, unless a shorter period is required by law or the change is needed for security or to comply with law.

(c) Changes apply prospectively and do not affect events that happened before the effective date. Changes that expand the collection or use of Child Content or a Child’s personal information follow Section 4.11 and require fresh approval.

(d) Continued use of the Platform after a change takes effect (other than for matters requiring fresh approval under Section 4.11) is acceptance of the updated Terms by an adult Account Holder. If You do not agree, You may stop using the Platform and delete Your account. Earlier versions are available on request.

(e) Official Rules for a Cash Contest may be updated as stated in Section 18.6.

31. General Provisions

(a) Entire agreement; order of precedence. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Children’s Privacy Notice, any Official Rules, any Event Specifications, and any separate written agreement with You are the entire agreement between You and Us on their subject matter. If they conflict, the following order applies, subject always to Section 4.12: (1) Section 4 of these Terms; (2) a signed written agreement with You; (3) the other provisions of these Terms; (4) the Official Rules; (5) the Event Specifications.

(b) Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary (or replaced by a valid provision with the closest effect), and the remaining provisions remain in force.

(d) Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without Our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided the assignee agrees to protect Child Content and personal information at least as strongly as these Terms.

(e) Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except for payment obligations.

(f) Electronic communications and notices. You consent to receive notices electronically. We may give notice by email to the address on Your account, in the app, or on the Platform.

(g) Relationship; third-party beneficiaries. Nothing creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship. The Released Parties may enforce the provisions that protect them, subject to Section 26.2.

(h) Accessibility. We aim to make the Platform accessible. If You have difficulty using it, please contact us at support@ichooseiamgroup.com.

(i) Headings and interpretation. Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.”
