Dream Venture is a project of Generation One, an initiative of Minderoo Foundation Limited and we facilitate the Generation One Dream Venture Masterclasses (Dream Venture Masterclasses). These terms and conditions form the entire agreement between us and you in relation to the Dream Venture Masterclasses, as amended from time to time in our complete discretion (the Terms). If you attend a Dream Venture Masterclass session (either physically or virtually) you are taken to agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you cannot participate in or attend the Dream Venture Masterclasses. 

Our Code of Conduct outlines our expectations of all participants in the Dream Venture Masterclasses.

You (or anyone else who might make a claim on your behalf) release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue, us, our related entities, our representatives and contractors or our related entities’ representatives or contractors (Released Parties) in relation to any and all claims, demands, causes of action, loss or damage which may arise out of, or in connection with your attendance (or non-attendance) at a Dream Venture Masterclass session.

You acknowledge that you are responsible for your own safety, and for the protection of your physical and intellectual property at the Dream Venture Masterclasses. You acknowledge and agree that your participation in the Dream Venture Masterclasses is voluntary and that any information you share with others in connection with the Dream Venture Masterclasses is at your own risk.

You will be liable for, and indemnify us, our related entities, our representatives and contractors and our related entities’ representatives and contractors (Indemnified Parties) against any claim, action, damage, loss or liability which the Indemnified Parties suffer in connection with your attendance at or involvement with the Dream Venture Masterclasses. 

The rights in any presentations, documentation, graphics, and materials published or otherwise made available as part of the Dream Venture Masterclasses (including any documentation packs or audio-visual recordings of the conference) (Minderoo Content) are owned by us or used by us with the permission of the owner of the rights. You must not use any Minderoo Content unless authorised by us in writing. You acknowledge and agree that we do not otherwise grant you any rights in the Minderoo Content and the Minderoo Content is provided on an “as is” basis.

Unless we receive written notice from you prior to the relevant Dream Venture Masterclass session informing us otherwise, you consent to us:

a) filming, photographing and creating other visual media in relation to the Dream Venture Masterclasses and its participants (including yourself) free of charge;
b) using any such visual media for promotional purposes; and
c) if you record any photos, videos or other visual media of the Dream Venture Masterclasses and provide them to us, using such media in the fashion outlined in paragraph (b) above. You represent to us that the participants appearing in such media have consented to this.

If you are required to travel regionally or interstate to attend a Dream Venture Masterclass session, you may apply for Minderoo travel support (Minderoo Travel Support). If your application is successful, we will:

a) cover the cost of a return airfare to the relevant host city, if you will be flying, rather than driving;
b) cover the cost of hotel accommodation for up to 3 nights; and
c) reimburse you for the reasonable and demonstrable costs which you incur by (as applicable):
i. taking a taxi or rideshare between the airport and your accommodation, and your accommodation and the relevant Dream Venture Masterclass session venue; or
ii. driving between your accommodation or residence and the relevant Dream Venture Masterclass venue up to a value of $250 (limited to the cost of petrol and parking only).

We may accept or reject your application for the Minderoo Travel Support at our complete discretion. If we approve your application for Minderoo Travel Support, you consent to us sharing your personal information with our travel agent for the sole purpose of facilitating the booking of flights and accommodation in your name. The flights and accommodation you are assigned are subject to availability and selected at our complete discretion.

The Minderoo travel support program:

a) does not include paying for travel insurance;
b) covers the per night cost of accommodation and raw fare of the relevant flights only. Any additional expenses you incur in connection with your stay at the hotel (e.g. room service, cleaning charges or a security bond) or your flights (e.g. additional luggage or food you purchase) will be charged directly to you by the hotel or airline (as applicable). Please note that you may be required to present a personal credit or debit card when checking into your hotel as a bond.
c) does not include any additional nights of accommodation (although you may choose to extend your stay with the relevant hotel at your own expense by contacting the hotel yourself); and
d) does not include any costs associated with moving or cancelling your booking after we have confirmed your itinerary with you. If you miss a flight due to your own error, you will need to organise your own transport, at your own expense.

Catering at each Dream Venture Masterclass venue will be provided by a third party. You must notify us of any dietary requirements at least 14 days before the relevant Dream Venture Masterclass session. We cannot guarantee that there will be no cross-contamination. Accordingly, while we will do our best to cater to your dietary requirements, we encourage those with life threatening allergies or food intolerances to bring their own food items.

Ensuring the health and wellbeing of our participants is our top priority. We will take all reasonable measures to ensure the safety of participants at the Dream Venture Masterclass venues.

You acknowledge and agree that, regardless of the precautions which we may take, there is an inherent risk of COVID-19 transmission when you attend indoor events such as the Dream Venture Masterclasses. When you attend a Dream Venture Masterclass venue, you acknowledge and accept this risk and agree to follow our reasonable requirements in relation to COVID-19.

You must not attend the Dream Venture Masterclass sessions in person if you:

have travelled overseas in the last 30 days.

We reserve the right to refuse you entry into, or remove you from, a Dream Venture Masterclass venue if we become aware that you have breached this clause 8 in any way. If a Dream Venture Masterclass venue is identified as a COVID-19 exposure site, we may be obliged to pass your contact details on to the relevant Government authority for the purpose of contact tracing and we will comply with any such lawful request. You understand that you are travelling at your own risk and if you are required to quarantine for any period of time, we will not be responsible for any losses you incur except as outlined in these Terms.

We will be holding portions of the Dream Venture Masterclasses online using online platforms like Zoom© or Microsoft© Teams. To participate in online components of the Dream Venture Masterclasses, you will be required to agree to the relevant online platform’s terms of service and privacy policy (and any other relevant document). We encourage you to review each of these documents carefully prior to creating an account.
