The information provided in these Terms and Conditions is intended for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the website cardozo-filmsociety.com and your participation in events organized by the Cardozo Film Society. By accessing the site, subscribing to our communications, registering for an event, or attending a screening, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or attend our events.
2. Who We Are
The Cardozo Film Society is a student organization at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, 55 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10003. It is chartered by the Student Bar Association and operates within Yeshiva University.
The Film Society is not a separate legal entity, is not incorporated, and does not hold independent tax status. Views, statements, programming choices and materials published by the Film Society are those of its student board and members alone. They do not represent the views or positions of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University, or their faculty, staff or administration.
3. No Legal Advice
The Film Society is a student cultural organization. Nothing on this site, and nothing said at our events, panels or discussions, constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship. Our speakers, guests and board members do not act as your counsel. Content relating to copyright, licensing, entertainment law or any other legal subject is presented for educational and cultural purposes only. Consult a licensed attorney for advice on your own situation.
4. Eligibility
This site is not directed at, and is not intended for, individuals under the age of 13. Attendance at events held on the Cardozo campus is subject to the access rules of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and Yeshiva University, which may restrict entry to students, faculty, staff and their invited guests.

7.3 No recording. You may not film, photograph, screen-record, stream, or otherwise capture or retransmit any film, in whole or in part, at any Film Society event. You may not capture or share a guest speaker's presentation without their express consent. This restriction is a condition of the licences under which we present films, and of our agreements with guests.
