Every Day Matters Content Submission Waiver:
Please review the waiver in the window below and check the box to indicate that you've read it, understand it, and agree to it.

The Sierra Club, a California non-profit corporation (the "Club"), hereby solicits Content for use in support of its mission to promote enjoyment and protection of the wild places of the earth, to practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources, to educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment, and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives. "Content" as used in this document means any and all text, pictures, sounds, graphics, video, audio or other data in any format whatsoever supplied by you for uses contemplated herein, including, but not limited to, images, photographs, illustrations, graphics, audio clips, video clips, or text. Because of the volume of material sent to us, we cannot arrange for the return of any Content submitted to us by you. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to submit a copy of your Content to us in digital form. We are not responsible for loss or damage to original or copied versions of Content submitted to us. NOTE: We cannot accept Content that includes recognizable children under the age of 18 unless you are the parent or legal guardian of the child(ren). A. License of Rights 1. If you submit Content to the Club in response to the foregoing solicitation, the Club may select some or all of it to use in support of its mission. The Club acknowledges that you will remain the owner of the copyright in the Content, and, if you request it, the Club will include your requested form of copyright notice when your Content is used, to the best of its ability. You must indicate such notice on the Submission Form. The Club cannot be held responsible for incorrect credits. 2. You grant to the Sierra Club: The right to use this Content in any way that supports the Sierra Club's mission. That is, the non-exclusive right to reproduce, use, copy, distribute, create derivative works from, publicly display, or publicly perform this Content throughout the world, in perpetuity for the purpose of, but not limited to, public education, advocacy, advertising, publicity, business, or any other lawful purpose whatsoever, in any media now known or hereafter developed. B. Terms & Conditions 1. Terms of Agreement. Because the Club receives submissions from many sources, it is not able or willing to accept different terms and conditions proposed by different individuals. Therefore, if you decide to submit Content in response to the solicitation in Part A above, you will thereby agree, with respect to this Content, if any, selected by the Club from such submissions, to the terms and conditions set forth in Parts A (License of Rights) and B (Terms & Conditions) hereof. No different or additional terms set forth in any invoice or other document submitted by you, previously or hereafter, will affect our agreement, which will be only as set forth herein. THIS OFFER IS MADE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONAL ON THESE TERMS. 2. Warranty and Indemnification The Club cannot accept Content from anyone but the owner. By submitting Content, you represent and warrant that this Content is your original work, that your agreement hereto does not violate any agreement between you and a third party, and that this Content shall not infringe upon or violate any law, agreement or other rights of any kind, of any third party, without limitation, rights affecting copyright, patent, trademark, unfair competition, contract, defamation, privacy or publicity. You agree that you will, at your own expense, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Club and its affiliated and related entities, licensees, successors and assigns, employees, officers and directors, representatives, contractors and agents from all claims, losses, damages and expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) arising out of or in connection with a breach or alleged breach by you of your obligations or warranties under this agreement. 3. Governing Law. This offer, and the agreement that will be formed if you submit Content to the Club and if the Club selects some or all of this Content for use in support of its mission, will be interpreted under the laws of the State of California, and any disputes or litigation arising in connection with such agreement shall be venued only in San Francisco, California. 4. No Obligation to Use Rights. Nothing herein will constitute any obligation by the Club to make use of any of the rights herein. 5. General Provisions. This agreement supersedes any and all agreements, either oral or written, between the parties hereto and contains all the covenants and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Each party to this agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any party, that are not embodied herein, and that no other agreement, statement, or promise not contained in this agreement shall be valid or binding. Any modification of this agreement will be effective only if it is in writing signed by both parties. If any provision in this agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will nevertheless continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way. No waiver or any breach of any provision of this agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. The parties to this agreement are independent contractors. Neither party is the agent, representative or partner of the other party, and neither has any right, power, or authority to enter into any agreement or other commitment for, or incur any liability or obligation on behalf of, or otherwise bind, the other party. The undersigned hereby represents that it has read the foregoing and fully and completely understands the contents hereof.  * I have read, understood and accepted the terms of the Waiver above. I agree that my submission becomes the property of the Sierra Club. Submissions may be edited for grammar, length and clarity. Photos may be cropped.
