1. Honor Code

On my honor, I pledge to uphold the values of honesty, integrity, and respect expected of me as an All-American Model UN student, in the tradition of excellence and performance.

A commitment to academic integrity is essential to the reputation of All-American Model UN, its staff, and its students. All applications and work completed after acceptance are subject to the strictest academic integrity standards.

All-American Model UN reserves the right to notify a student's academic institution of any integrity violation occurring during or in connection with an All-American Model UN program.

3. Representing School, State, and Country

Students are accepted with the expectation that they represent their school, state, and country to the best of their ability at all times — including in academic settings and all other program contexts.

Violations may result in immediate expulsion and, where applicable, return to the United States at the student's expense.

6. Curfew

A curfew will be established for all All-American Model UN programs. Students are expected to comply with the curfew at all times unless accompanied by All-American Model UN staff. Violations may result in dismissal from the program at the student's expense.

7. Rooming and Lodging

Students will be lodged in same-gender housing for the duration of all programs. Male and female students may not share a room or be in the same room without supervision by All-American Model UN staff. Students are expected to respect all property. Any damaged or stolen property will be charged to the students occupying the room.

8. Consequences for Code of Conduct Violations

• Immediate expulsion from the program;
• A ban on future participation in All-American Model UN programs;

1. a. Travel Risks. Risks associated with domestic and international travel, including transportation delays or accidents, airline or ground transportation incidents, baggage loss, pickpocketing, and other hazards associated with transit in unfamiliar locations.
2. b. Conference and Academic Risks. Risks associated with attendance at college-hosted Model UN conferences and similar academic events, including physical activity on university campuses, interactions with participants from other programs, and the physical and mental demands of competitive academic programming.

YOU, on behalf of yourself and the Participant, voluntarily and knowingly accept and assume all such risks. YOU acknowledge that Model Diplomacy, LLC cannot guarantee the safety of participants at all times and that certain risks are beyond the company's ability to prevent or control. YOUR assumption of risk is a material condition of this Agreement and of Model Diplomacy, LLC's willingness to allow the Participant to enroll in any program.

Guardian(s) signing on behalf of a minor warrant that they are at least 18 years old and legally authorized to contract on the minor's behalf. Students signing on their own behalf warrant the same. This release is binding upon the Student and Guardian(s), and their respective heirs, representatives, and assigns.

10. Supervision Standard and Independent Travel

During the operation of All-American Model UN programs, Model Diplomacy, LLC will maintain a minimum supervision ratio of one (1) staff member for every ten (10) enrolled participants. This ratio applies to program activities conducted under the direct operation of Model Diplomacy, LLC, including workshops, conference attendance, supervised tours, and group excursions.

Independent Travel. Students are responsible for arranging and completing their own travel to and from the host city or program site. Model Diplomacy, LLC assumes no responsibility or duty of care for the Participant at any time prior to the Participant arriving at the designated program check-in location or after the Participant departs from the designated program check-out location. This includes, without limitation, all air travel, ground transportation, layovers, and any period during which the student is traveling independently to or from the program.

Departure from Staff Supervision. If a Participant voluntarily leaves the supervised group or the designated program site without authorization from All-American Model UN staff, Model Diplomacy, LLC assumes no responsibility or duty of care for that Participant from the moment of departure until the Participant is formally returned to supervised program activities by staff. Any costs, injury, loss, or liability arising during an unauthorized absence are solely the responsibility of the Participant and Guardian(s).

11. Trip Policies

YOU are responsible for booking your own airfare and will travel independently to and from the host city, unless otherwise arranged in writing with Model Diplomacy, LLC.

Model Diplomacy, LLC may, in its sole discretion, establish policies necessary for the safe and efficient operation of any program.

Notwithstanding local law, YOU may not consume alcohol, tobacco, or controlled substances at any time during a program unless prescribed by a licensed medical professional.

12. Staff Background Screening

All Model Diplomacy, LLC staff members who work directly with minor participants are subject to national and state-level criminal background checks prior to engagement with any program. Background screening is conducted by the company and is a condition of employment or engagement for all staff in direct supervisory or instructional roles. Model Diplomacy, LLC will not assign any individual to a direct supervisory role over minors if that individual's background check reveals a disqualifying criminal history.

Model Diplomacy, LLC does not warrant that its background screening process will detect all criminal history or guarantee the conduct of any staff member. Families with concerns about staff conduct during a program should contact the Program Director immediately.

13. Medical Disclosure and Emergency Authorization

As a condition of enrollment, each Participant's Parent or Legal Guardian must complete and submit a Medical Disclosure and Emergency Contact Form prior to the program start date. The form requires disclosure of:

2. b. All current prescription and over-the-counter medications, including dosage, frequency, and administration instructions;

In the event of a medical emergency during a program, if Model Diplomacy, LLC staff are unable to reach a Parent or Legal Guardian in a timely manner, YOU hereby authorize Model Diplomacy, LLC staff to consent to and arrange emergency medical treatment, including transport to a medical facility, on behalf of the Participant. Model Diplomacy, LLC will make reasonable efforts to notify Guardian(s) as soon as practicable. All costs of emergency medical treatment are the sole responsibility of the Participant and Guardian(s). Model Diplomacy, LLC shall not be liable for any medical decisions made in good faith under emergency circumstances when Guardian(s) could not be reached.

1. a. Failure to provide documents requested by Model Diplomacy, LLC, including electronic acceptance of this Agreement;

Public Health Emergencies and Pandemics. Model Diplomacy, LLC shall not be liable, and no refund shall be issued, where a program is cancelled, postponed, or modified in whole or in part due to a public health emergency, epidemic, pandemic, quarantine order, or travel restriction imposed by any governmental authority at the local, state, national, or international level. This includes, without limitation, situations in which a destination country, host institution, or conference organization cancels or restricts access to a program site due to public health conditions. In such circumstances, Model Diplomacy, LLC will make reasonable efforts to offer a program credit or alternative enrollment opportunity, but is not obligated to provide a cash refund.

Notice. If YOU become aware of a force majeure event that will delay or prevent YOUR performance, YOU shall notify Model Diplomacy, LLC orally within five (5) days and in writing within ten (10) days. Notice must describe the cause, its effect on performance, and a reasonable estimate of the delay if applicable. YOU bear the burden of demonstrating that the event prevented performance despite diligent effort.
